Judges: Work four years for 100k-a-year pension
When Gov. Dannel Malloy nominated a batch of judges this month, state Sen. Andrew Maynard promptly issued a press release, praising the selection of two nominees from Noank.
"I congratulate the governor for nominating two exceptional candidates from southeastern Connecticut to the bench," Maynard said. "Both are distinguished attorneys with long records of public service and as judges they will carry out their duties with distinction."
What the senator from Stonington left out of his congratulations, for someone he called a "dear friend," Steven Spellman, and Timothy Bates, "a friend and neighbor since childhood," is that neither would serve on the bench for too long.
Bates and Spellman are also, if confirmed, big winners in the judge's pension lottery sweepstakes, a shameful government giveaway that Maynard and his colleagues should end.
The way the generous pension lottery works for Connecticut judges is that you have to retire when you are 70 and you then immediately receive two thirds of your salary for the rest of your life.
In the case of Bates, now a practicing attorney in New London, he will earn the base salary of $154,559 if confirmed as a Superior Court judge.
Since he will be 66 years old next month, he will serve only about four years before retiring, with more than $100,000 a year for the rest of his life.
If he lives to the age of 90, he will have scored some $2 million in pension money, for having worked four years.
He can also keep working past 70, taking cases on a per diem basis, at a rate of more than $200 a day, in addition to the 100k.
No wonder Maynard was congratulating him.
Spellman, who will be 63 in June, will have to work longer for his payoff.
But then Spellman, who preceded Maynard in the Senate, is already safely and comfortably on the state payroll.
Spellman went successfully through the revolving door for state legislators, who take state jobs after they leave office, usually earning much bigger salaries than they did as legislators. At the same time they improve their final state pensions.
Spellman makes more than $100,000 a year as a director of government affairs for the state Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection. It's an odd resume item for someone appointed to the bench.
But then probably no one thinks that judges are nominated only on the basis of their experience, things that might make them good judges. Naturally politics plays a big role.
I wasn't able to find all the ages for the Malloy March nominees. But I know at least one of them is even older than Bates and will serve only about three years before he starts cashing in that $100k in annual pension benefits. He is also a former state senator.
If Sen. Maynard spent less time issuing press releases congratulating his dear friends for hitting the pension lottery, he could spend more of his time in Hartford safeguarding taxpayers' money.
He and others could start with pension reform, at least correcting the crazy loophole in the system for judges.
How hard could that be, if you really want to get it done.
I would bet a retired judge's per diem pay that it won't happen before these lucky judge pension lottery winners make it to the bench.
This is the opinion of David Collins.

Today we're going to take a look at the talent trees that are proposed for being in the Mists of Pandaria expansion, and how those talent trees might impact twink brackets. As we continue on, keep in mind the fact that this stuff was just announced at BlizzCon 2011 and this expansion isn't scheduled to come out for who knows how long yet so any and all information here could potentially change.
I'm not going to look at every bracket in this post because there are just too many talents to smash them all into a single post. Instead I'm going to break in into two parts; one for the 10-14 bracket, and one for the 15-19 and 20-24 brackets as the impact on the two should be roughly the same.
I did not attend or in any way participate in this year's BlizzCon, so I'm only going off of what the MoP Talent Calculator from Wowhead has to tell me, and what I heard people say on Twitter or on other blogs. If any of this information is incorrect, incomplete, or false please notify me of such in the comments so that I can get it updated with the correct information.
Right now we don't know much of anything about the Monk class, so they won't be included in this particular post. It is safe to say you better be careful around those pandas with their racial sleep attack though.
Level 10-14
At first glance this bracket doesn't seem like it would be effected much by talent trees that are switching to every 15 levels. However, this has a huge impact on some classes because spells they enjoy right now at level 10 aren't going to be available until much later. We don't know all of the details of which spells might be changing to different level ranges, but we do know some of them from changes to the talent trees.
Druids don't have any obvious change of this nature. None of the spells shown in the new talent trees are ones that are currently granted at level 10. If Feral Druids still have access to Mangle in this bracket, they should be fine. Balance Druids will likely remain unviable in this bracket without significant changes. Resto Druids will likely remain the weakest of the four healers in this bracket.
The only talent tree change we'll see is Beastmastery, who lose the stun effect of Intimidation as it's changed to a level 30 talent. We don't know yet what they're going to give BM in place of Intimidation, but a BM Hunter combining the Bat's ranged stun with Intimidation's stun can be a brutal combination in today's low level brackets.
The biggest announcement of all – no more minimum range. This means that Hunters are going to lose their only weakness in low level PvP as they'll be able to shot you from melee range. Unless Hunter damage is decreased or general player survivability is increased, Hunters are going to be even more powerful than they already are.
Mages don't see any talent-related hits, but there is one big difference to point out. In MoP, some of the Mage's baseline spells get restricted to your spec. Fireball can only be cast by Fire Mages, Frostbolt by Frost, and Arcane Blast (I think) can only be cast by Arcane. Meaning that the primary slow effect of most Mages in this bracket is removed from two of the specs. Granted, Arcane Mages typically kill you rather than slowing you down, and Fire kind of sucks in this bracket, but that does remove the ability for non-Frosties to slow you down in this bracket.
Paladins didn't lose any of their level 10 talents either, and I did not see any major functionality changes mentioned either. Unless Blizzard changes spell levels or adds/removes other spells then the Paladins should remain about the same in this bracket.
Priests have no changes due to talents in this bracket either. The one thing that could be worth mentioning is that Wands are now base weapons for casters which could mean that we'll see more mana-free ranged attacks from the casters. Then again, we might not. The one change we do know about is that Priests lose their AoE fear spell, Psychic Scream, as it becomes a level 15 talent instead of a level 12 spell.
Rogues may or may not see any impact from the removal of ranged weapons, it depends on which level they give us the ability to throw melee weapons instead and at what range. As far as talents go, non-Rogues give praise for Shadowstep has been moved to level 60, which means you shouldn't find yourself on the receiving end of a one-shot Ambush any more. Well, not as often anyway. Maybe…
Shamans are going to see some changes in their totems as all buff totems will be removed. We don't have enough information yet to know whether that's a good thing or bad, but it does remove some of the low level functionality at the least. There are no talent changes that will directly impact Shamans, so only more information on the other aspects will tell us for sure how Shaman play will change.
Warlocks are going to have a different resource pool for each spec now instead of everyone using Soul Shards. I haven't seen the details on those yet, so I don't know exactly how or what that's going to impact for low level Warlocks. None of the talent changes will have an impact on this bracket.
No talent tree changes here either that I can see. I don't recall hearing anything about specific Warrior changes either, beyond the removal of ranged weapons, so we're probably looking at very little overall change here either.
Level 15-19 and 20-24
Much like the level 10 bracket, some classes are going to see larger changes in this bracket than others because of the shifting of some spells. Both of these brackets have access to only one talent point for level 15, so in general the impact should be the same in both brackets when looking strictly at the changes to talent points.
Druids: Feline Swiftness, Displacer Beast, Tireless Pursuit
The fastest, most mobile flag carriers in the game are about to get a whole lot more mobile. It's hard to say right now which of these is going to be the most effective in the bracket as they're all very good, and I look forward to trying all of them out.
Feline Swiftness becomes a baseline 10% buff to movement speed, with an additional 20% while in Cat form. While the benefits of this one aren't as extreme as the other two, it's always active and has no cooldown, so you'll be able to enjoy its effects constantly.
Displacer Beast (3 min cooldown) teleports you 20 yards in a random direction, removes all periodic damage effects, and puts you Cat form and Stealth for 10 seconds (attacking or taking damage cancels stealth, assume breaking cat form does as well). This has huge potential for flag carriers, though they will need to be careful to pick the flag back up after teleporting as the stealth feature will force you to drop it. I'm assuming that this teleport will take you out of combat (since stealth can't be used in combat normally), otherwise if you're in combat then the flag shouldn't be dropped automatically with the current rules.
Tireless Pursuit (3 min cooldown) activates your Cat Form, removes all roots/snares and increases your Cat Form speed by 70% for 15 seconds (does not break Prowl). It's like a beefed up version of Dash which Druids don't currently have access to in this bracket. The only way to stop Druids right now is to either kill them quickly or use CC to slow/stop them long enough to kill them slowly, and this talent works to counter both of those.
Hunters: Frozen Arrows, Arcane Arrows, Venom Tipped Arrows
Can you say, "OP just got more OP?"
Frozen Arrows gives your Auto Shot a 30% chance to reduce the target's movement speed by 30% for 10 seconds. Just what Hunters needed, free CC on top of their already insane ranged damage. It's hard to imagine any twinks not taking this talent, unless Venom Tipped Arrows just proves to be too good (see below).
Arcane Arrows gives your Auto Shot a 50% chance to restore 5 focus when it deals damage. This one doesn't seem all that great to me with Haste being so potent in the lower levels already.
Venom Tipped Arrows gives your ammunition a stacking poison DoT effect that deals Nature damage. Stacks up to 5 times. We don't have any numbers on this one, nor does it specify only Auto Shot, so it's hard to say how good or bad this one might be at this point.
Mages: Ring of Frost, Cone of Cold, Frostjaw
Stop!..Freezy time! /dance
Ring of Frost (1 min cooldown) creates a 10 yard diameter ring that lasts for 12 seconds, which freezes enemies who enter for 10 seconds. While it's not the most effective form of CC, it is AoE and does have some great uses. This spell is going to add a level of strategy and area awareness to the low level brackets that many players might not be used to.
Cone of Cold (10 sec cooldown) deals Frost damage to enemies in a cone in front of the caster, freezing them in place for 3 seconds and slowing them by 60% for 6 seconds. This is pretty much what the spell currently does, except that only Frost has the talents that add the CC aspect to it. I can already see Arcane Mages making great use of this spell as another instant cast, AoE, and adding CC to their mix. Arcane is already pushing hard on the boundaries of being OP, and this might push it over the edge.
Frostjaw (20 sec cooldown) silences and freezes the target in place for 8 seconds, lasts half as long versus player targets. The only thing keeping this from being truly fantastic is the 1.5 second cast time, but even with that it's still a great spell. Silence is always good, but the ability to cast a targeted freeze effect at range is a big deal.
I really don't know yet which of these will see the most use in low level PvP because I can see uses for all of them. If I had to guess, I'd say Frostjaw >= Ring of Frost > Cone of Cold…maybe.
Paladins: Spped of Light, Long Arm of the Law, Pursuit of Justice
Tanks Upgrades: Rocket Boosters Edition!
Speed of Light (1 min cooldown) increases your speed by 60% for 6 seconds, during which you radiate healing to nearby allies. How much healing we're talking about is the unknown (along with the range), which makes judging this one kind of hard. This could either be really freaking cool, or just pretty cool.
Long Arm of the Law increases your speed by 45% for 4 seconds after using Judgment. This is meant to be the Paladin's "gap closer" similar to the Charge abilities of other tanks. I think we could end up seeing a lot of Paladin's use this skill in these brackets as all three specs make frequent use of the Judgment spell.
Pursuit of Justice increases your speed by 10% for each current charge of Holy Power. This one is probably going to be the overall favorite. Holy uses their HP off and on depending on the situation, and they can almost always keep a full stack of HP ready with Holy Shock casts on themselves. Protection is almost always full of HP with nothing to dump it into besides Word of Glory (I did see someone mention the cooldown was being removed, but I can't verify). Retribution uses their HP pretty frequently, so they'll most likely use Long Arm of the Law (above) instead.
Priests: Void Tendrils, Psyfiend, Psychic Scream
Top Heals + AoE CC = MWAHHAHAHAHHAHAHA!!!
Void Tendrils (30 sec cooldown) summons shadowy tendrils out of the ground, rooting all targets within 10 yards for 20 seconds. Killing the tendril will cancel the effect. This is either really cool, or it's going to sucks. It all depends on how easy or hard it is to kill the tendrils, and right now we don't have any information on that.
Psyfiend (1 min cooldown) summons a Psyfiend that stands in place. The Psyfiend casts a Psychic Scream on a nearby enemy within 40 yards every 2 seconds lasting for 10 seconds, preferring anything attacking the Priest or her friends. This one is also missing some key information to know just how good or bad it will end up being. For protecting your flag carrier I see this being a pretty amazing spell, but if killing the Psyfiend takes one attack then it kind of sucks.
Psychic Scream (30 sec cooldown) works just like the version that exists right now, fearing up to 5 enemies around you. This is a solid fear spell, and one that I make very frequent use of right now. With so many unknowns in the other two talents, it's hard to say where this one will end up in relation to them.
Rogues: Nightstalker, Subterfuge, Shadow Focus
What the..? Who? /dead Ah, $#&@!
Nightstalker increases your speed while stealthed by 20%. Right now this talent only increases speed by 10%, so doubling that means Rogues are going to be even more mobile and be able to outrun many of the other classes. Faster speed in stealth is one of my favorite traits of the Rogue right now, and I would definitely put this one to good use.
Subterfuge Your Stealth breaks 3 seconds after dealing or receiving damage, rather than doing so immediately. That extra three seconds gives you time to cast 1-2 additional attacks before your stealth is broken. If you happen to have your hands on a stash of Thistle Tea (restores 100 Energy) then you can double-Ambush people with this talent. Otherwise it's a fair amount of protection from having your stealth broken by AoE damage and gives you a chance to use attacks like Ambush even after someone spots and attacks you if you can get behind them in time.
Shadow Focus abilities no longer cost Energy while you are stealthed. We'll have to wait to see what abilities we have available to us before we know how good this one really is. It does mean you can Sap ALL THE THINGS for free, and you can Ambush for free instead of 60 Energy. If you have access to Ambush and Backstab then you can do Ambush/BS/BS combos with this for some very high damage, but we don't know enough about other changes to know how good this will be just yet.
Shamans: Frozen Power, Earthgrab Totem, Repulsion Totem
Stop! Freezy ti- wait, didn't we just do this?
Frozen Power Frost Shock now also roots the target in ice for 5 seconds. This is an existing talent deep in the Enhancement tree. I really like that this is going to be available at early levels as a ranged freeze is super cool, especially when it's an instant cast like Frost Shock. When playing a DPS spec, I'm pretty sure I would want this one for that extra level of control knowing that I'm going to freeze the one I want to freeze (hello EFC) and I can do it at a range.
Earthgrab Totem summons a totem for 45 seconds that pulses every second to root all enemies within 8 yards for 5 seconds. Recently rooted enemies will instead have their movement speed reduced by 50%. This talent is currently deep in the Elemental tree, but it's a pretty sweet spell. The only thing that I'm concerned about is what kind of survival this totem is going to have. If a hunter can one-shot it or a caster can wand it to death in a second, then it's still good but not very. If it has a decent health pool, then it's going to be fantastic.
Repulsion Totem summons a toem for 15 seconfds that repels enemies. In the world of PvP this thing is call "Totem of complete and total garbage". If it repels Hunter and Warlock pets then it might be useful, otherwise it's worthless.
Warlocks: Dark Regeneration, Soul Leech, Harvest of Life
There's a reason my high school mascot was a Harvester…of Life.
Dark Regeneration (3 min cooldown) restores 50% of your Maximum health over 25 seconds. This one is a little…odd. On the one hand, that's what heck of a healing spell, but on the other…that's going to take forever. It feels like Gift of the Naaru to me, which is a bit too little too late to really matter in most cases. Still, that is a lot of healing and flag carriers could especially make good use of that.
Soul Leech Shadowbolt, Incinerate, and Malefic Grasp heal you for 25% of the damage dealt. I'd have to see some damage numbers and cast times to really be able to say how powerful this could be. My initial thoughts are something along the lines of, yes please thank you!
Havest of Life (channeled) drains life from the target and all targets within 20 yards, causing 94 Shadow damage and restoring 2% of the caster's total health per target every 1 second. Lasts 3 seconds. Empowered Channel: recasting this spell before it finishes boosts the duration by 3 seconds. Stacks 5 times. Now THIS is what I'm talking about. I'd like to see the mana cost and damage potential for the appropriate level before saying too much about this one, but I love the look of it so far.
Warriors: Juggernaut, Double Time, Warbringer
Juggernaut you can charge every 12 seconds instead of every 20. This one isn't bad, I guess. More charging is always good, but I don't know that it's good enough to really thrill me. If they removed the restriction of Charge to be used during combat then this could be a really useful talent, otherwise I admit I'm a bit disappointed in this talent.
Double Time you can use Charge twice before incurring its cooldown. Now this one is really interesting. As far as I'm aware, Charge can still only be used outside of combat, but using it puts you into combat, which leaves me confused. If you can use it during combat and twice in a row, then that's pretty cool for chasing down flag carriers or even for returning the flag yourself.
Warbringer your Charge also roots the target for 5 seconds. Now this is something to write home to mama about. Right now Warriors aren't in the best of places in low level PvP, but adding some more utility and CC to their toolbox just might do the trick. Assuming that charge hasn't been changed to allow use during combat by default, I'd say this is the clear winner. If Charge actually is being changed, then it's a bit of a toss up depending on the situation.
Foreseen Overall Changes
So to sum all of those changes up, this is what I see happening with low level PvP.
1. The return of CC
2. Hunters even more OP
3. Faster games
With so many classes getting CC talents in the first tier, I don't know how we could not see more CC used in the low level brackets. The only thing I like better than killing my opponents is locking them down to the point that I can hear their furious screams over the internet, even over the sound of my own maniacal laughter. On the one hand, this is probably going to piss me off more than once (being on the receiving end of it), but on the other I look forward to adding some more tactical choices to the mix.
I don't want #2 up there to seem too much like I'm crying here. I like playing classes that are super powerful. I love playing with Sub Rogues and Arcane Mages, and seeing how many kills I can get out of a lowbie game. But, there does come a point where things are so unbalanced that they just aren't fun anymore. There's an honest to goodness problem with the power of Hunters in low level PvP right now, and things only seem to be getting worse. I don't want to see them nerfed into oblivion, but I would like to see them pulled back a bit for low levels. We're almost at the point right now that matches are decided before the gates even fall, based purely on the number of Hunters on the opposing team.
I see faster games coming from a couple of reasons. First, because a lot of classes get more speed buffs which does have a direct impact on the speed of WSG and AB matches. Second because of the increased CC options. Teams who use CC well are going to make short work of teams that don't know how to use it or how to fight against it. If neither team uses it, then matches stay the same. If both teams use it, then we could end up seeing longer games. With non-premades still being the norm though, I think we'll end up with faster games overall. Personally, I'd love to see a match where both teams were making good use of CC and we had to honestly struggle for a win.

It's 4 days until landing. As I drove in to work this morning, I was thinking about the many things that we've fixed on the Mars Science Laboratory over the past 6 years. I find that I'm doing that a lot lately...thinking through all of the issues that we've "caught" on this mission by testing, analyzing, scrutinizing, reviewing, and testing again. It's thought exercises like this that remind me "we are ready." It still gives me a chill when I stop to think that we are landing an incredibly capable machine on the surface of another planet so that it can perform robotic scientific observations very much like a team of scientists with a laboratory full of machines would do on Earth. This is certainly not without risk, but I sleep well at night knowing that our team has done everything we could think of and within reason to do to make this mission a success.
As an engineer, I love problems. Not because I like things going wrong, but because I get to help make things right by fixing the problems! On this project, I've led many problem-solving teams. They are sometimes called "working groups" and, if the problem is of particular importance, they are called "tiger teams." (and, yes, I have had engineers make "kitty cat growling noises" during tiger team meetings to help lighten the mood). These teams have solved problems that put us in a very good position going into this landing.
While the chances of success are good, we still prepare for problems. The operations team has practiced many times using our test rover here on Earth as Curiosity was flying to Mars. These tests included "anomalies" which were invented by some very creative engineers on the team playing the role of "gremlins" during the test. These tests exercised the teams' ability to make decisions, access and analyze the data, develop unplanned command sequences, and still continue to safely and successfully do the mission. The tests also exercised non-engineering parts of the team and helped us answer questions in support of our round-the-clock operations with 400 guest scientists such as "do we have enough trash cans near the control room and where can I order a pizza at 3 o'clock in the morning in Pasadena?"
And now landing is upon us. The team is prepared. The flight vehicle is ready. On landing night, I have the honor of sitting in Mission Control, the "Dark Room," at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory to participate in the excitement. A few hours later, I'll then report to work in the Surface Control Room to serve as the "Anomaly Response Lead." The Anomaly Response Lead is responsible for dealing with problems or issues that have come up. While I hope there aren't any problems, I know that we are all prepared for them if they do arise!

Virtua Tennis 4: World Tour Edition - PS Vita
Release Date:January 01, 2013
Viewing USA:Also on UK.
Your fingers could give you the edge that separates the great from the good in Virtua Tennis 4: World Tour on PS Vita. By sliding your finger across the touchscreen, you will set the power and direction of your shot – watch to see where your rival is headed and try to wrong-foot them by smashing a powerful volley as close to the baseline as you dare. Hitting certain shots will fill your concentration gauge, which gives you two benefits. First, your ability to hit fast, accurate shots on the move improves once the bar passes the halfway point; second, you'll be able to unleash an almost unstoppable Super Shot when the meter is filled by sliding two fingers across the touchscreen.
PS Vita
Virtua Tennis has been a favorite of multiplayer fans ever since it launched on the Dreamcast more than a decade ago. Since then it has been ported, updated and released on multiple consoles under multiple names. However, despite attempts to freshen things up, this solid iteration of the game ends up being just that: a solid iteration of a game that we have all played before.
As Sega's first PS Vita title, Virtua Tennis 4: World Tour Edition translates to the small screen admirably. While Virtua Tennis's main competitor, Top Spin, has always attempted to make a more realistic Tennis Sim, Virtua Tennis goes for a more arcade-y feel, allowing players to instantly pick up and play. This dynamic is still apparent in Virtua Tennis 4 and the game is better for it. Players are able to concentrate only on getting to the ball on time, hitting it and setting themselves up for the return volley. This is perfect for smaller screens and playing in small bursts, making it ideal for gaming on the go.
As always in the Virtua Tennis series the controls are quick and responsive. You will lose and it will be frustrating at times (as any good tennis game should be) but it will be because of your own failings and not because of any fault of the controls. The graphics are sharp and crisp and the animations look great on the Vita's screen. Additionally, each opponent feels completely unique, requiring different strategies to beat each one.
As has been tradition since Virtua Tennis 2, this game comes with wacky mini games and a career mode. The career mode is a little frustrating, in an attempt to improve the replay value SEGA decided to make the career mode a zany but more importantly random board game. The frustration factors in when a certain tournament or event is missed because you rolled over it. A more streamlined version with more player-choice would have been preferable. The mini-games are as crazy as ever and range from hitting targets, to hitting a soccer ball pass a goalie, to collecting and leading chicks to their hen house without getting hit by a red ball.
Additionally, some modes have been added exclusively for this Vita version. Players can take a picture of their own face with the PS Vita camera and then convert that into their own created character for the World Tour mode. More interestingly two players can play on one screen using the touchscreen, although more of a novelty, it can be used to kill some time and is a nice addition. The real multiplayer is the online or Vita to Vita version and it works fine, although more variety and options for tournaments would have been nice. Players are also given a few new control schemes, the traditional control scheme, a touchscreen version and a hybrid version that utilizes one stick and touchscreen buttons.
Virtua Tennis 4: World Tour Edition is a solid version of a solid series, this is probably the definitive version of Tennis available on any mobile platform. However, for veterans of the series the gameplay elements might be getting a tad stale.

Calcium: What's Best for Your Bones and Health?
Those advertisements pushing milk as the answer to strong bones are almost inescapable. But does "got milk?" really translate into "got strong bones?"
The pro-milk faction believes that increased calcium intake—particularly in the form of the currently recommended three glasses of milk per day—will help prevent osteoporosis, the weakening of bones. Each year, osteoporosis leads to more than 1.5 million fractures, including 300,000 broken hips.
On the other side are those who believe that consuming a lot of milk and other dairy products will have little effect on the rate of fractures but may contribute to problems such as heart disease or prostate cancer.
Which view is right? The final answers aren't in. But here is a summary of what's currently known about calcium and its effects on the body.
What Is Calcium, and Where Do We Get It?
Calcium is a mineral that the body needs for numerous functions, including building and maintaining bones and teeth, blood clotting, the transmission of nerve impulses, and the regulation of the heart's rhythm. Ninety-nine percent of the calcium in the human body is stored in the bones and teeth. The remaining 1 percent is found in the blood and other tissues.
The body gets the calcium it needs in two ways. One is by eating foods or supplements that contain calcium. Good sources include dairy products, which have the highest concentration per serving of highly absorbable calcium, and dark leafy greens or dried beans, which have varying amounts of absorbable calcium. Calcium supplements often contain vitamin D; taking calcium paired with vitamin D seems to be more beneficial for bone health than taking calcium alone. (Read more about calcium and osteoporosis.)
The other way the body gets calcium is by pulling it from bones. This happens when blood levels of calcium drop too low, usually when it's been awhile since having eaten a meal containing calcium. Ideally, the calcium that is "borrowed" from the bones will be replaced at a later point. But, this doesn't always happen. Most important, this payback can't be accomplished simply by eating more calcium.
Growing Healthy Bones
Bone is living tissue that is always in flux. Throughout the lifespan, bones are constantly being broken down and built up in a process known as remodeling. Bone cells called osteoblasts build bone, while other bone cells called osteoclasts break down bone.
In healthy individuals who get enough calcium and physical activity, bone production exceeds bone destruction up to about age 30. After that, destruction typically exceeds production.
What Is Osteoporosis?
Osteoporosis, or "porous bones," is the weakening of bones caused by an imbalance between bone building and bone destruction. People typically lose bone as they age, despite consuming the recommended intake of calcium necessary to maintain optimal bone health. An estimated 10 million Americans—8 million women and 2 million men—have osteoporosis. Another 34 million have low bone mass, placing them at increased risk for osteoporosis. (1)
Achieving adequate calcium intake and maximizing bone stores during the time when bone is rapidly deposited (up to age 30) provides an important foundation for the future. But it will not prevent bone loss later in life. The loss of bone with aging is the result of several factors, including genetic factors, physical inactivity, and lower levels of circulating hormones (estrogen in women and testosterone in men).
Postmenopausal women account for 80 percent of all cases of osteoporosis because estrogen production declines rapidly at menopause. Of course, men are also at risk of developing osteoporosis, but they tend to do so 5 to 10 years later than women, since testosterone levels do not fall abruptly the way estrogen does in women. It is estimated that osteoporosis will cause half of all women over age 50 to suffer a fracture of the hip, wrist, or vertebra.
How Can Osteoporosis Be Slowed Down?
Preventing osteoporosis depends on two things: making the strongest, densest bones possible during the first 30 years of life and limiting the amount of bone loss in adulthood.
There are a number of lifestyle factors that can help with the latter:
Getting regular exercise, especially weight-bearing and muscle strengthening exercise.
Getting adequate vitamin D, whether through diet, exposure to sunshine, or supplements.
Consuming enough calcium to reduce the amount the body has to borrow from bone.
Consuming adequate vitamin K, found in green, leafy vegetables.
Not getting too much preformed vitamin A.
Preventing Bone Loss in Adulthood
Several complementary strategies can help prevent or minimize bone loss during adulthood and old age. These include:
Getting Regular Exercise
Physical activity that puts some strain or stress on bones causes the bones to retain and possibly even gain density throughout life. Cells within the bone sense this stress and respond by making the bone stronger and denser. Such "weight-bearing" exercises include walking, dancing, jogging, weightlifting, stair-climbing, racquet sports, and hiking.
Swimming is a useful form of exercise for the heart and cardiovascular system. But because water supports the bones, rather than putting stress on them, it's not considered a good "weight-bearing" exercise for bone strength. In addition, physical activity doesn't strengthen all bones, just those that are stressed, so you need a variety of exercises or activities to keep all your bones healthy.
Another function of physical activity, probably at least as important as its direct effect on bone mass, is its role in increasing muscle strength and coordination. With greater muscle strength, one can often avoid falls and situations that cause fractures. Making physical activity a habit can help maintain balance and avoid falls.
Getting Enough Calcium
Despite the debates surrounding milk and calcium, one thing is clear: adequate calcium—both for bone development and for non-bone functions—is key to reducing the risk of osteoporosis. However, the healthiest or safest amount of dietary calcium hasn't yet been established. Different scientific approaches have yielded different estimates, so it's important to consider all the evidence.
Maximum-calcium-retention studies, which examine the maximum amount of calcium that can be forced into bones, suggest a fairly high requirement. To ensure that 95 percent of the population gets this much calcium, the National Academy of Sciences established the following recommended intake levels:
1,000 milligrams/day for those age 19 to 50
1,200 milligrams/day for those age 50 or over
1,000 milligrams/day for pregnant or lactating adult women
But the maximum-calcium-retention studies are short term and therefore have important limitations. To detect how the body adapts to different calcium intakes over a long period of time—and to get the big picture of overall bone strength—requires studies of longer duration.
The results from such long-term studies may be surprising to some. While they do not question the importance of calcium in maximizing bone strength, they cast doubt on the value of consuming the large amounts currently recommended for adults.
In particular, these studies suggest that high calcium intake doesn't actually appear to lower a person's risk for osteoporosis. For example, in the large Harvard studies of male health professionals and female nurses, individuals who drank one glass of milk (or less) per week were at no greater risk of breaking a hip or forearm than were those who drank two or more glasses per week. (2, 3) When researchers combined the data from the Harvard studies with other large prospective studies, they still found no association between calcium intake and fracture risk. (4) Also, the combined results of randomized trials that compared calcium supplements with a placebo showed that calcium supplements did not protect against fractures of the hip or other bones. Moreover, there was some suggestion that calcium supplements taken without vitamin D might even increase the risk of hip fractures. A 2014 study also showed that higher milk consumption during teenage years was not associated with a lower risk of hip fracture in older adults. (27)
Additional evidence further supports the idea that American adults may not need as much calcium as is currently recommended. For example, in countries such as India, Japan, and Peru where average daily calcium intake is as low as 300 milligrams per day (less than a third of the U.S. recommendation for adults, ages 19 to 50), the incidence of bone fractures is quite low. Of course, these countries differ in other important bone-health factors as well—such as level of physical activity and amount of sunlight—which could account for their low fracture rates.
Ideally, these issues might be resolved by randomizing a large group of adults to get different amounts of calcium and following them to see how many would eventually break a bone. In fact, a few such studies have been conducted, and they have not provided evidence of benefit, as noted above. However, most of these studies were small or of short duration, so they could not rule out the possibility of a small benefit from supplementation. Other randomized trials have combined calcium in combination with vitamin D, which could obscure the true effects of calcium.
To illustrate the different conclusions drawn from examining the same body of data, a British committee that is comparable to the U.S. group that established calcium requirements here concluded that 700 milligrams per day was enough for individuals age 19 and older.
Getting Enough Vitamin D
Vitamin D plays a critical role in maintaining bone health. When blood levels of calcium begin to drop, the body responds in several ways. It promotes the conversion of vitamin D into its active form, which then travels to the intestines (to encourage greater calcium absorption into the blood) and to the kidneys (to minimize calcium loss in the urine).
For bone health, an adequate intake of vitamin D is no less important than calcium. Vitamin D is found in milk and vitamin supplements, and it can be made by the skin when it is exposed to sunlight in the summertime. But not all sunlight is created equal. Above 40 degrees latitude (north of San Francisco, Denver, Indianapolis, and Philadelphia), the winter sunlight isn't strong enough to promote vitamin D formation. Sunscreens also prevent the formation of vitamin D, although they are still recommended to reduce risk of sun-induced skin cancer and skin damage.
An examination of clinical trials of vitamin D for the prevention of osteoporosis found that getting 700 to 800 IUs of vitamin D per day decreases the risk of hip and non-vertebral fractures; (5) vitamin D may be even more effective when taken in conjunction with calcium. (6) A similar analysis of the effect of vitamin D on falls indicated that supplementation with vitamin D reduces the risk of falls among older individuals by more than 20 percent. (7)
Look for a multivitamin that supplies 800 to 1,000 IU of vitamin D per day. If your multi only has 400 IU of vitamin D, consider taking an extra supplement. Many people may need 2,000 IU per day (or more) of vitamin D for adequate blood levels, particularly if they have darker skin, spend winters at higher latitudes (such as the northern U.S.), or spend little time in the sun. If you fall into one of these groups, which would include most of the U.S. population, taking 2,000 IU is reasonable and well within the safe range. As always, it's a good idea to discuss use of supplements with your doctor, and he or she may want to order a vitamin D blood test.
Getting Enough Vitamin K
Vitamin K, which is found mainly in green, leafy vegetables, likely plays one or more important roles in calcium regulation and bone formation. Low levels of circulating vitamin K have been linked with low bone density, and supplementation with vitamin K shows improvements in biochemical measures of bone health. (8) A report from the Nurses' Health Study suggests that women who get at least 110 micrograms of vitamin K a day are 30 percent less likely to break a hip than women who get less than that. (9) Among the nurses, eating a serving of lettuce or other green, leafy vegetable a day cut the risk of hip fracture in half when compared with eating one serving a week. Data from the Framingham Heart Study also shows an association between high vitamin K intake and reduced risk of hip fracture in men and women, and increased bone mineral density in women. (10, 11) Getting one or more servings per day of broccoli, Brussels sprouts, dark green lettuce, collard greens, or kale should be enough to meet the daily recommended target of 120 micrograms per day for men and 90 micrograms per day for women.
Some other factors may also help lower the risk of osteoporosis:
Take care with caffeine and cola. Although the votes aren't all in, there is some evidence that drinking a lot of coffee—about four or more cups per day—can increase the risk of fracture. Caffeine tends to promote calcium excretion in urine. Meanwhile, the Framingham Osteoporosis Study has found that older women who drink cola every day have lower bone mineral density than those who drink it less than once a month. (12) This may be due to cola's high levels of phosphorous, which may alter the dietary balance between calcium and phosphorous and thereby weaken bones.
Get enough protein, but not too much. The body needs protein to build healthy bones. But as your body digests protein, it releases acids into the bloodstream, which the body neutralizes by drawing calcium from the bones. Following a high-protein diet for a few weeks probably won't have much effect on bone strength. Doing it for a long time, though, could weaken bone. In the Nurses' Health Study, for example, women who ate more than 95 grams of protein a day were 20 percent more likely to have broken a wrist over a 12-year period when compared to those who ate an average amount of protein (less than 68 grams a day). (13) But this area of research is still controversial, and findings have not been consistent. Some studies suggest increasing protein increases risk of fractures; others associate high-protein diets with increased bone mineral density. It is still unclear what level of protein intake provides the best protection against osteoporosis, and more research is needed.
Get enough vitamin A, but not too much. Long associated with good vision, vitamin A has also been found to direct the process of borrowing and redepositing calcium in bone. However, too much preformed vitamin A (also known as retinol) can promote fractures. Choose a multivitamin supplement that has all or the majority of its vitamin A in the form of beta-carotene, a vitamin A precursor, since beta-carotene does not increase one's fracture risk. Many multivitamin manufacturers have already reduced the amount of preformed vitamin A in their products.
Postmenopausal women may also want to talk to a health care provider about taking a medication that can strengthen bones. The estrogen in postmenopausal hormones can compensate for the drop in estrogen levels after menopause, helping to prevent—and perhaps even partially reverse—bone loss. However, hormone replacement therapy has fallen from grace as the mainstay for preventing osteoporosis after results from several studies showed that it increased the risk of breast cancer, stroke, and blood clots. (14) Other medications such as alendronate (Fosamax), risedronate (Actonel), calcitonin (Miacalcin), raloxifene (Evista), and parathyroid hormone (Fortéo) have been approved for the prevention or treatment of osteoporosis.
Should You Get Calcium from Milk?
When most people in the United States think of calcium, they immediately think of milk. But should this be so? Milk is actually only one of many sources of calcium—dark leafy green vegetables and some types of legumes are among the other sources—and there are some important reasons why milk may not be the best source for everyone.
These reasons include the following:
Lactose Intolerance
Many people have some degree of lactose intolerance. For them, eating or drinking dairy products causes problems like cramping, bloating, gas, and diarrhea. These symptoms can range from mild to severe. Certain groups are much more likely to have lactose intolerance. For example, 90 percent of Asians, 70 percent of blacks and Native Americans, and 50 percent of Hispanics are lactose intolerant, compared to only about 15 percent of people of Northern European descent.
One alternative for those who are lactose intolerant but who still enjoy consuming dairy products is to take a pill containing enzymes that digest milk sugar along with the dairy product, or to consume milk that has the lactase enzyme added to it.
High Saturated Fat Content
Many dairy products are high in saturated fats, and a high saturated fat intake is a risk factor for heart disease. And while it's true that most dairy products are now available in fat-reduced or nonfat options, the saturated fat that's removed from dairy products is inevitably consumed by someone, often in the form of premium ice cream, butter, or baked goods.
Strangely, it's often the same people who purchase these higher fat products who also purchase the low-fat dairy products, so it's not clear that they're making great strides in cutting back on their saturated fat consumption. (For more information on dietary fats, read the Nutrition Source article Fats and Cholesterol: Out with the Bad, In with the Good.)
Possible Increased Risk of Ovarian Cancer
High levels of galactose, a sugar released by the digestion of lactose in milk, have been studied as possibly damaging to the ovaries and leading to ovarian cancer. Although such associations have not been reported in all studies, there may be potential harm in consuming high amounts of lactose. A recent pooled analysis of 12 prospective cohort studies, which included more than 500,000 women, found that women with high intakes of lactose—equivalent to that found in 3 cups of milk per day—had a modestly higher risk of ovarian cancer, compared to women with the lowest lactose intakes. (15) The study did not find any association between overall milk or dairy product intake and ovarian cancer. Some researchers have hypothesized, however, that modern industrial milk production practices have changed milk's hormone composition in ways that could increase the risk of ovarian and other hormone-related cancers. (16) More research is needed.
Probable Increased Risk of Prostate Cancer
A diet high in calcium has been implicated as a probable risk factor for prostate cancer. (17) In a Harvard study of male health professionals, men who drank two or more glasses of milk a day were almost twice as likely to develop advanced prostate cancer as those who didn't drink milk at all. (18) The association appears to be with calcium itself, rather than with dairy products in general: A more recent analysis of the Harvard study participants found that men with the highest calcium intake—at least 2,000 milligrams a day—had nearly double the risk of developing fatal prostate cancer as those who had the lowest intake (less than 500 milligrams per day). (19)
Clearly, although more research is needed, we cannot be confident that high milk or calcium intake is safe.
The Bottom Line: Recommendations for Calcium Intake and Bone Health
Adequate, lifelong dietary calcium intake is necessary to reduce the risk of osteoporosis. Consuming adequate calcium and vitamin D and performing regular, weight-bearing exercise are also important to build maximum bone density and strength. After age 30, these factors help slow bone loss, although they cannot completely prevent bone loss due to aging.
Milk and dairy products are a convenient source of calcium for many people. They are also a good source of protein and are fortified with vitamins D and A. At this time, however, the optimal intake of calcium is not clear, nor is the optimal source or sources of calcium. As noted earlier, the National Academy of Sciences currently recommends that people ages 19 to 50 consume 1,000 milligrams of calcium per day, and that those age 50 or over get 1,200 milligrams per day. Reaching 1,200 milligrams per day would usually require drinking two to three glasses of milk per day—or taking calcium supplements—over and above an overall healthy diet.
However, these recommendations are based on very short-term studies, and are likely to be higher than what people really need. Currently, there's no good evidence that consuming more than one serving of milk per day in addition to a reasonable diet (which typically provides about 300 milligrams of calcium per day from nondairy sources) will reduce fracture risk. Because of unresolved concerns about the risk of ovarian and prostate cancer, it may be prudent to avoid higher intakes of dairy products.
At moderate levels, though, consumption of calcium and dairy products has benefits beyond bone health, including possibly lowering the risk of high blood pressure and colon cancer. (20–25) While the blood pressure benefits appear fairly small, the protection against colon cancer seems somewhat larger, and most of the latter benefit comes from having just one or maybe two glasses of milk per day in addition to what we get from other foods in our diet. Getting more than this doesn't seem to lower risk further.
For individuals who are unable to digest—or who dislike—dairy products and for those who simply prefer not to consume large amounts of such foods, other options are available. Calcium can also be found in dark green, leafy vegetables, such as kale and collard greens, as well as in dried beans and legumes.
Calcium is also found in spinach and chard, but these vegetables contain oxalic acid, which combines with the calcium to form calcium oxalate, a chemical salt that makes the calcium less available to the body. A variety of calcium-fortified foods, such as orange juice and soy milk, are now on the market.
Calcium can also be ingested as a supplement, and if you do go the supplement route, it's best to choose one that includes some vitamin D. Research suggests that calcium-only supplements do not protect against fractures, and may in fact increase risk of fractures. (4) There's also some emerging evidence that taking calcium-only supplements may possibly increase the risk of heart attacks—another reason to avoid calcium-only supplements. (26) Men may want to avoid calcium supplements because of questions about possible risks of prostate cancer; if men do take a calcium supplement, limiting supplement intake to 500 milligrams of calcium per day seems prudent.
Antacids contain calcium, but do not contain vitamin D. So if you choose antacids as a calcium source, you may want to consider taking a separate vitamin D supplement. Discuss your options with a health care provider. (Read more about vitamin D and health.)

In the hospital, your baby's doctor and/or nurse will probably:
1. Check your baby's weight, length, and head circumference and plot the measurements on the growth charts.
2. Ask questions, address any concerns, and offer advice on taking care of your baby:
Feeding. Breast milk is the best form of nutrition for infants, but formula also provides the nutrients they need. Newborns should be fed on demand (when they're hungry), which is about every 1 to 3 hours. Your doctor or nurse may observe breastfeeding and help with technique. Formula-fed babies take about 1-3 ounces (30-90 ml) at each feeding. Burp your baby midway through a feeding and at the end. As infants grow, they start to eat more at each feeding, allowing for less frequent feeding times.
Peeing and pooping. A breastfed baby may have only one or two wet diapers a day until the mother's milk comes in. Expect about six wet diapers by 3-5 days of age for all babies. Newborns may have just one poopy diaper a day at first. Poop is dark and tarry the first few days, then becomes soft or loose and greenish-yellow by about 3-4 days. Newborns typically have several poopy diapers a day if breastfed and fewer if formula-fed.
Sleeping. A newborn may sleep 18 hours a day or more, waking up often (day and night) to breastfeed or take a bottle. Breastfed babies usually wake to eat every 1 to 3 hours, while formula-fed babies may sleep longer, waking every 2 to 4 hours to eat (formula takes longer to digest so babies feel fuller longer). Newborns should not sleep more than 4 hours between feedings until they have good weight gain, usually within the first few weeks. After that, it's OK if a baby sleeps for longer stretches.
Developing. Newborn babies should:
3. Perform a physical exam with your baby undressed while you are present. This will include an eye exam, listening to your baby's heart; feeling pulses; inspecting the umbilical cord; and checking the back, hips, and feet.
4. Give first immunizations. While in the hospital, your baby should receive his or her first immunizations. Immunizations can protect infants from serious childhood illnesses, so it's important that your child receive them on time. Immunization schedules can vary, so talk to your baby's doctor about what to expect.
5. Perform screening tests. Your baby's heel will be pricked for a small sample of blood to test for certain harmful diseases. Your baby also may get a hearing test.
Here are some things to keep in mind until your next routine visit at 1 week:
These checkup sheets are consistent with the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP)/Bright Futures guidelines.

More Musings on Spring Training and an Angels' Great Retires
With a few more, significantly less than stellar, spring training games under our belt, Angels fans have learned several new things. For example, ouch, those Rangers guys sure can hit! Oh. Wait. We knew that already. I'd blame the loss on the kids – the Angels were playing with a mostly minor league squad that day – but it was really the homeruns that killed us and the first two – of four! – were off of regular pitchers and enough on their own to ensure a loss. At least Dan Haren was mad at himself about the homerun hit off him. A little anger can be motivating and spring training is the time to get motivated and shake off the rust.
But, Mark Trumbo can also hit! A line drive Wednesday and another bomb Thursday. It's great to see he's getting used to Major League pitching! Especially because Kendry Morales' progress sounds steady but very slow. Kendry's unlikely to be ready to play any time soon. Based on the fact that Trumbo has seen the most playing time of any Angel so far and all of it at first, I think it's safe to assume that he's Scioscia's primary first base back-up plan. Trumbo's still mixing a lot of clumsy plays in with the good ones, but with his bat coming around I'm softening up on this idea lot. Keep practicing hard and taking notes, kid, and this might just work out!
Torii Hunter found his bat today. Jeff Mathis and Howie Kendrick continue to find theirs while Brandon Wood temporarily misplaced his on the bus or something. And if any real conclusions could be drawn from this small sample size, I'd be dangerous. 😉
Ervin Santana may be the most unfortunately die hard Star Trek fan ever – convinced that in odd numbered years he's supposed to suck. Yes, melodrama for humor's sake is a perfectly reasonable coping mechanism. Why do you ask? I'm not actually panicking. I know it's his first outing. I know he's working on a new pitch. I know it's just one spring training game. I know I still would have liked it a lot better if he'd nailed it.
Mike Napoli is a pretty classy guy and is handling the inevitable interview questions about the trade as well as anyone could ask. He's being truthful – he appreciates the trade because it means he's likely to get more playing time – while speaking well of both his former team and his new one. I still don't like seeing him in another uniform but I wish him well and this takes a little bit of the sting out of the "just business" side of baseball.
Spring training doesn't count for anything more than a means of everyone getting their work in and preparing for the regular season. Spring training records do not necessarily give any indication of how the team will look in the coming season. But boy do we scrutinize every pitch, swing and play anyway. It's kind of like the initial stages of a new relationship. You know it's going to take a while to get to know the person, so you try to keep your attitude light and casual. But every interaction still takes on exaggerated meaning as you try to figure out, does this have the potential for just an okay couple of dates, a really fun fling or something longer and more meaningful? Something that might even keep you cheering all the way through October?
Angels great Garret Anderson announced his retirement on Tuesday after 17 years in the majors, 15 of them with the Halos. A key member of the 2002 World Series winning team, Anderson still holds numerous Angels franchise hitting records including those for hits, extra base hits, runs and RBIs. I will always remember him for his clutch performances both at the plate and in the field and for that gorgeous, graceful swing, one of the most beautiful swings in the game.
Watching him struggle on the Dodgers last year was hard. Seeing him fumble two hard hit balls against the left field fence at the Big A during the Freeway series was harder. I'm sure retirement was a difficult decision but I think it was time. I understand and applaud the drive to try and push out one more year and then another and another, but I really like to see the players retire while their peak years are still a lot fresher in the fans' minds than the rough years at the end. My hat's off to you Garret Anderson. Congratulations on your retirement. (For a great Garret Anderson tribute with wonderful personal stories, please visit fellow Angels' blogger Mo's Angels.)

Digital Infrared Thermometers...
Posted 26 June 2008 - 08:03 PM
I'm looking at buying a new piece of equipment and have decided on a digital thermometer... Now, here's my prediciment, I've read that the "gun" style, laser pointer digital thermometer is ok but the laser has to hit an object and bounce back in order to get a temperature reading... That to me says it won't detect cold spots in the air... It only detects the temperature of what it bounces off of...
So I've been looking at the thermometers that have probes attached, and have a couple models in mind... But I'd like to get everyone else's opinion... What kind do you have, what experiences have you had, and what are your recomendations???
Posted 26 June 2008 - 08:10 PM
If you feel a cold spot and want to check temp... a probe is probably the way to go. If you want the ambient temp in the room or to check when a team member says it's cold, a laser is fine.
Posted 26 June 2008 - 08:15 PM
Posted 26 June 2008 - 10:10 PM
This is the model here...shop around...I paid $35 with shipping off of eBay back in January.
Other neat features are a backlit display, a pop-out stand so you can set it by itself, and heck, you can even test your home wiring and other electronics projects with it!
This is a similar model, and the price is excellent for all it does: Mastech multimeter
Also, the Mastech homepage has some other really cool environmental meters. All the K-type meters seem to have a 40 second delay before the readings change, however where some are data logging, they may very well be worth the money if it can save one all that time in having to write fluctuations down during the investigation.
Check them out...I'm quite pleased with mine.
Posted 30 June 2008 - 09:15 PM
Aside from that, the red laser being projected isn't what's reading the temperature information (that is emitted to show you what object you are checking the temperature of). It's actually the infrared light that shoots out of the thermometer, that then reflects off of the surface, that is giving you information. At least, this is what I've read about these units. I have found that these are useless in detecting ambient temperature changes, as the IR beam can't reflect off of the air itself. However, they can be useful in detecting temperature fluctuations on objects that are manipulated (such as setting a ball out to be moved be a spirit, etc.).
My suggestion, even though there are many models out there with small metal probes that are capable of giving ambient readings (however I have read that these units tend to take a second or two to change or catch up), is to look into the TIF ET7000. This thermo coupler checks the temperature three times per second. That's actually quite impressive, considering how fast some of these alleged cold spots tend to move. If you're looking for accuracy and speed, the TIF is definitely the way to go.
Keep an eye out on eBay, and you can also search Google for the exact model number - ET7000 or TIF ET7000. Some of the best prices out there are found through searching for model numbers, rather than generic descriptions that often take you to mark up ghost hunting supplies stores. I got my unit from eBay for $65 shipped, and it was in perfect shape! In fact, it even came with the original hard plastic case, with cut foam insert to store the unit, as well as a solid attachment probe to use on surfaces, and a liquid attachment probe to use in fluids (and obviously the air attachment probe for ambient fluctuations).
Just my two cents - and I hope to hear back about these laser IR thermometers, as I could be misinformed on them and meant no disrespect in my comments about them!

Posted 30 June 2008 - 09:28 PM
I'll take a look at that model you mentioned... It looks like that's the way I'm headed as far a a thermometer goes...
Thanks again...
Posted 01 July 2008 - 07:30 AM
You need a thermocouple type to read ambient air temperature. Thermal hysteresis is a problem with those. That is the time lag needed for the thermocouple to respond to temperature changes. That is one consideration when choosing type of thermocouple. You will be looking at several seconds up to minutes in response time. Choose accordingly. The fastest response is a platinum wire sensor, these are usually a matter of just a few seconds. Downside is the unit itself and sensors are expensive, $300 and up. Also they are delicate since the wire in the sensor is easily broken. Thay is why they are not often used. However most sensors use a platinum curve, that is they are made to perform like platinum, however this does add to their mass which is why the slower response time.
If you want to read more on theory, and see a wide selection of equipment, go to
Omega Temperature Measurement Meters
You can also go to their main page and read up on theory under various subtopics
Omega Home Page
I have used their test equipment and had satisfactory results. Some is not cheap, but the selection and quality is good. They also have other equipment that some have asked about like dataloggers, which can also be used as recording temperature monitors, humidity , etc. Spend some time surfing their site for more.
Visit my website, "The Paranormal DESTINATION"

I use my other thermometer for ghost hunting though. It measure ambient air temperature. It's actually quite fast too in the response time. Hardly any lag. I've tested this too. It's great for sticking the probe in cold spots directly.
I also use some weather stations and data loggers. The weather stations, not noted for fast response times, are good for base readings and constant readings. Not reccommended for determining cold spots or actual investigation. My data loggers record the temperature throughout the night. I have alarms set on it so it will tell me if it has dropped or exceeded the parimeters set (by me) It also has a sample rate of 10 seconds (also set by me) It gives me a nifty little chart when I'm done with it and it helps in conjuction with my other pieces to fill in the gaps if nes. I hope this helps.

In my research, I have found out about data loggers and have been looking into those as well... What kind would you recommend???
Posted 11 July 2008 - 01:20 PM
Data Logger Store
We use both the regular temperature one and the one that aslo reads relative humidity.

Posted 30 July 2008 - 07:22 PM
I picked up a couple MA-Line loggers (Model number: MA-16540). They were very cost effective, the cheapest on the market from what I've found, and seem to do quite nicely. Run a search for the actual model number and you should turn up a good price!
I've been looking at those too and perhaps getting ones that measure the pressure as well... I'm also in the market for EMF data loggers now as well... So in 1 room we'll have a laptop with an EMF, Temperature, and Pressure data logger, recording audio from a stereo microphone and video from an IR camera... That room will be monitored very well... LOL... Too much equipment to buy and absolutly no money!!!!
Posted 30 July 2008 - 07:25 PM
Interesting thread...quick question though. I've been looking into getting a multimeter for measuring ambient temperature and coldspots myself. When the advertised features on some say "Data Hold", does that mean it will log data? And if not, can anyone recommend a model of multimeter that does offer data logging? Sorry, I'm new to the exciting world of multimeters!
My assumption is that "Data Hold" is that it will hold the data displayed for a short time, but not actually log it... That is unless it's a data logging model... But that is just an assumption... I could be gravely mistaken...

Carbon Monoxide Alarms Porth Navas Cornwall
Whenever we burn fuel, carbon monoxide (CO) is created. It is a gaseous petrol that can be deadly when breathed in perilous sums. Frequently called a 'quiet executioner', the particles of CO are scentless and undetectable making its identification about outlandish for people. CO harming is extremely hazardous and can happen right in your home. Indeed, in excess of 50 percent of CO harming cases in America happen in the home. Every year, more than 10,000 Americans are focused on healing centers as a result of CO harming. Along these lines, it has turned into the main source of inadvertent harming passings in America.Carbon Monoxide Alarms Porth Navas Cornwall
CO sees no difference amongst casualties and everyone is helpless. As the rate of CO harming keep on rising, it is imperative to take suitable measures to shield you and your family from its risks. The most simple and successful approach to shield your family against CO harming is to introduce carbon monoxide cautions in your home.
Monoxide cautions are anything but difficult to obtain and are promptly accessible in the market. Organizations, for example, Kidde deliver CO alerts that are furnished with best in class detecting innovation which can recognize CO precisely in any sort of condition. These monoxide cautions have a voice cautioning framework fit for conveying voice cautions that alarm you of CO risk even before you will show any CO harming indication.Carbon Monoxide Alarms Porth Navas Cornwall
When introducing carbon monoxide alerts in your home, specialists suggest introducing units that have a battery move down. Alerts with no battery move down will kill amid control blackouts or brownouts. With a battery go down, you can make sure that the unit will in any case capacity and screen CO levels notwithstanding when the electrical framework is down.Carbon Monoxide Alarms Porth Navas Cornwall
Current CO cautions additionally have a LED illuminated show that encourages perusing of CO levels even oblivious. Some monoxide alerts have an element called 'top level memory'. This enables the caution to store the most noteworthy CO levels for the day. Regardless of whether you're far from home, you will even now know whether the CO alert recognized risky measures of CO.Carbon Monoxide Alarms Porth Navas Cornwall
To expand your security, specialists and expert professionals prescribe introducing carbon monoxide cautions on each level of your home. It is vastly improved to introduce it close resting zones.Carbon Monoxide Alarms Porth Navas Cornwall
CO harming is extremely hazardous and can cost you many dollars in medicinal cost and lost profitability. Introducing CO alerts in your house is exceptionally reasonable and it will shield you and your family from CO harming.Carbon Monoxide Alarms Porth Navas Cornwall
