The Clinical and Scientific Committee of the National Osteoporosis Society has said they are 'disappointed' by the coverage of a study which implied that bisphosphonate drugs - which are used to treat osteoporosis - may cause microscopic cracks.
Osteoporosis affects over three million people in the UK
Scientists at Imperial College London looked at the bone structure of 16 hip-fracture patients who had been treated with bisphosphonates. The researchers reported they found microscopic cracks in 6 of those studied.
The study, 'Long-term effects of bisphosphonate therapy: perforations, microcracks and mechanical properties' by Dr Richard Abel et al, was reported on The Today programme. It was also included on the BBC Health website and BBC Radio 4's Inside Health.
Professor Neil Gittoes of The Clinical and Scientific Committee of the National Osteoporosis Society said: "We are extremely concerned that the findings of this study, highlighted purely because of the use of a new technology, were reported as having potentially harmful effects to patients already receiving bisphosphonate therapy to reduce their increased risk of osteoporosis-related fractures."
He added: "Thousands of such patients were let down and misled by the way in which the story was reported."
Should osteoporosis patients take bisphosphonates?
The National Osteoporosis Society's Helpline was inundated with calls from worried patients wondering whether they should stop taking their medication.
The Scientific Committee said the reporting had been 'sensational', and lacking in context and balance.
There has been much research done into bisphosphonates. Over 20,000 patients have been involved in well-designed studies over the last 20 years. The research has consistently shown that that patients who took bisphosphonates gained protected from fractures and broke bones much less often than those given the placebo.
Professor Gittoes said: "The overwhelming evidence is that these agents protect patients from fractures. From a technical standpoint, this is primarily due to in-filling of tiny cavities in the bone, so called resorption pits, a finding which was confirmed in the Abel study."
Study too small to be significant
Another member of The Clinical and Scientific Committee, Professor David Reid of Twenty-five Harley Street Day Clinic said he believed the structure of the study has led to misleading results as the bone samples were taken from the head of the femur. This is not a place where femoral fractures usually occur.
He explained: "Scientific reports based on small sample sizes and with study design issues can be over-interpreted in terms of risk of harm. Over-extrapolation of the data to alter clinical management algorithms at this stage are premature."
Dr Abel's report that was based on small bone samples from only 16 people in a non-randomised study of which only 6 patients on bisphosphonate treatment were scanned.
The Clinical and Scientific Committee of the National Osteoporosis Society said the reporting ignored the overwhelming evidence and did not address the limitations of the Abel study.
DEXA scan reveals the bone fracture risk
Professor Gittoes commented: "The media reports did nothing to help those living on a day to day basis with the devastating effects of osteoporosis, particularly those patients at highest risk of fracture where the benefits of treatment with bisphosphonates far outweighs the risks."
Most people with osteoporosis only discover they have the condition after suffering a fracture. However, a DEXA scan can reveal if a person is at risk.
Certain lifestyle changes – such as taking vitamin D and regular exercise - can help prevent the condition worsening, and allow the bones to be protected.

MONTPELIER, Vt. -- Long-time friend of Champlain College, Lola Pierotti Aiken, passed away in her hometown of Montpelier today at the age of 102. She was born June 24, 1912.
Aiken was a Trustee Emeritus of Champlain College, having served 18 years on the Board prior to 1995. In 2007, Aiken received an honorary degree from Champlain for her unwavering advocacy for Vermont's educational, historical and community organizations. Aiken Hall, home to the Core Division on campus, is named in her honor.
"We were sorry to learn of Lola Aiken's passing today, but we also celebrate the long life and many accomplishments of this great friend of Champlain College. She was a one-of-a-kind woman who cared deeply about education in Vermont. Champlain College was only made better by her long association, leadership and guidance over the years," said Champlain College President Donald J. Laackman.
"Not only did she serve as a college trustee, but she was an advocate for Champlain's many student life programs and the Single Parents Program, which has been nationally recognized for supporting single parents as they juggle family and educational responsibilities," recalled Shelley Richardson, former vice president of Advancement at Champlain. Aiken helped with fundraising campaign efforts for the College over the years and Richarson added, "Everyone always wanted to go on a campaign solicitation with Lola at their side because no one could ever say no to her."
As a stateswoman and dedicated community servant, Aiken's energy and "we-can-do-it" attitude was legendary across Vermont. Aiken once told former Champlain College President Robert Skiff that she loved one of his sayings: "If you stand still, you lose ground." Many would agree that Lola Aiken has also lived by these words.
The circa 1885 Westervelt home, located on the corner of Maple and Summit Streets, was purchased by the College in 1981 for use as a residence hall and completely renovated in 2009 to become the home of the new Core Division. It was renamed Lola Aiken Hall to honor Aiken's longtime dedication to Champlain students and programs.
Aiken also served on the board of directors of University of Vermont's George B. Aiken Lecture Series, The Vermont Historical Society, Calvin Coolidge Foundation, Ethan Allen Homestead, Rockingham Meeting House and Judicial Conduct Board. Her service also reached to Central Vermont Home Health and Hospice and the New England Culinary Institute Scholarship Committee. She was a longtime, active member of the Friends of the Statehouse--where her husband served as Governor for four years prior to becoming a U.S. Senator.
Aiken received the 2005 Governor's Award for Outstanding Community Service, Vermont Lifetime Achievement Award. She has honorary degrees from Champlain College and the University of Vermont, and won Norwich University's Board of Fellow's Medallion Award in 2002.
Born in Vermont's capital city, the daughter of a stonecutter who emigrated from Italy, Aiken would land a job working for George Aiken in 1941 in his U.S. Senate campaign office, before moving to work in his Congressional office in Washington. She earned her way to the top, becoming his chief of staff and using her connections in Vermont and Washington to help advance the Senator's efforts on behalf of Vermonters.
Working together over the years, they formed a close relationship, and in 1967, 25 years after joining the Senator's team, she would marry him and continue to work by his side without pay.
In nearly four decades as governor and U.S. Senator, George Aiken was a legend of Vermont politics. During her time in Washington, Lola Aiken rubbed elbows with six presidents, first ladies and many senators. The Aikens retired from Washington in 1974, returning to their home in Putney, Vt.
Even after George Aiken's passing in 1984, Vermont political candidates sought Lola Aiken out over the years for endorsements at campaign time and reporters sought her opinion on the state of politics. Aiken remained in the public interest; she always maintained optimism about the political process and the commitment to public service.
The Vermont Legislature paid tribute to her on her 100th birthday, presenting a resolution wishing her the best and celebrating her long involvement in Vermont politics and civic work.
"Not too many years ago, Lola's age was a well-guarded secret, unknown even to the senator's staff members," wrote Steve Zind of VPR of the celebration. "She once said, 'Anybody who will tell their age will tell anything.' Now Lola says it doesn't bother her that people know she's about to turn 100."
A memorial service is scheduled for 11 a.m. Sept. 15 at St. Augustine's Church, 16 Barre St., Montpelier.

No trip to Philadelphia is complete without the energy and experience of cruising the Delaware River as you take in the breathtaking skyline views, enjoy freshly prepared dining, dancing, and great sightseeing. Be sure to take a stroll to the spacious observation deck where you can sit back, relax, and truly enjoy yourself.
Experience Philadelphia from the water aboard the Spirit of Philadelphia lunch cruise filled with spectacular views of the Philadelphia and Camden skyline.
Written history of Philadelphia began in 1682 when the city was founded by William Penn. The name Philadelphia, which Penn created himself, is the combination of two Greek words for love (phileo) and brother (adelphos). The city of brotherly love was born and soon grew to be the host of rich American history. During the American Revolution, Philadelphia was the site of the First and Second Continental Congresses and soon after the city became the temporary capital of the United States from 1790-1800. As time passed, it became the new nation's largest city, first capital, and home to the Liberty Bell, Declaration of Independence, and Constitution.
The Experience
For the past three decades now, the Spirit of Philadelphia takes diners on a wonderful waterfront excursion that highlights the city of brotherly love's festive atmosphere and tops the cake with dancing, dining, entertainment, and the most incredible skyline views of the Delaware River. The cruise features modern design with colorful LED lighting, a floating rooftop lounge, and an interactive dancefloor and live DJ. The freshly prepared delicious buffet lunch offers different organic salads to choose from to start, followed by flavorful oven roasted salmon and tilapia, maple and mustard glazed pork loin, chicken parmesan meatballs, baked ziti, roasted broccoli, and mashed potatoes. Then, finish with some delicious pastries, cookies, brownies, and seasonal fruit.
Cruising the Delaware River
Aboard the ship are three climate controlled interior decks with panoramic windows, guaranteeing every possible opportunity to experience those beautiful skyline views from every perspective. Following take off from Penn's Landing, the cruise will take you to see up close, the Ben Franklin Bridge, which was dedicated to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Along the route you will also pass many sights including America's first Shot Tower, the Old Swedes Church, the Naval Shipyard, Red Bank Battlefield, the Walt Whitman Bridge, Flag Ship Olympia, and many more.
- Professional photographers will take individual and group photos upon arrival that may be purchased on the return route, as well as other souvenirs.
- Photography is permitted and encouraged!

2016 Feb-Mar, RC-CCL Char/JAX/Tampa/Orlando MWM
Just back from a solo cruise on the Sensation out of Jacksonville, FL. Went as a gym/spa retreat mini-vacation and considered it a good success. Lost a little weight and filled in the abs a little bit. Learned a few lessons to make my next gym/spa retreat even more successful and am eager to put them to practice.
The first lesson is that a cruise companion would have helped defray the cost and take some pressure off of going to the dining room to not eat alone. So I am working on some local friends to see if I can convince them to go with me in the spring. If not then a cruise buddy would be fine.
*4 to 5 night cruise Feb/March or April
*would like to keep the booking cost under $800pp (good bit of flexibility there since if push goes to shove I will pay the "single supplemental" on a cruise I want)
*prefer a private beach port of call or Caribbean
*prefer a sun/mon departure
*NO DRUGS - If that is part of your fun I have no problem as long as it is not in a room that shares my name on the manifest. I will report you if I see it.I know that come across as negative just rather be blunt about it here than have a situation later.
*Don't care what you gender or orientation is. I am not looking for a hook up. I am however a little bit of a fitness freak and if you are noticeably overweight it does weird me out a bit. There is plenty of time to make acquaintance so maybe not a big issue if we have something in common to avoid talking about gym and fitness issues, which again are the point of my cruising solo.
*Need an agreed upon 8 hour+ quite period. Sleep is a big part of my fitness goals on the ship as I will hit the gym 2-3 times a day. That time can be early or late but agreed upon.
* Basically I am a white collar professional that makes me a little uptight compared to your Average Joe.
* My humor is generally dry and basically self deprecating.
* I do drink on vacation (4 drinks a day max) and not bothered by a light smoker.
* In my early 40s but like most alternative music, will go to music festivals from time to time.
* strongest held conviction is that with a balanced lifestyle of fun and fitness to manage the stress of a professional life there is an opportunity to live a long long long life.
* Charleston is my closest embarkation port so it gets a strong consideration. I will consider cruises out of Charleston, Tampa, Canaveral and Jacksonville.
* Ideally, a fitness minded cruise companion that has independent plans to enjoy the cruise is open to eating together at dinner and if the opportunity to snorkel at say Junkaroo Beach or the like comes about it would be nice if someone was there to verify I got out of the water.
I have a casino offer on the fascination out of jax on feb 8 or 22 for a rate of 174 a person plus taxes. It should be about 300 per person. Goes to half moon cay and nassau. I'm female, non smoker, spend most of my day at the pool or in the casino... i use the jogging track but don't usually go to the gym while on the cruise.
Lizaroo: sent a visitor's message.
I would be interested in cruise early part of next year . April is out I am probably gointoiut west to PS and vegas for our spring break. Would be interested in jan to March. My then I willneed some sun because indiana is kind of like Alaska we dont see too much sunf from about October to March and then it rains most of the spring andsummer.
I am a retired do to health issues former plant manager in the automotive industry . I go to the gym three times a week to help improve my stength from the issue with my kidneys in 2013. I like some shore excusion but once youve snokeled the great barrier reef and hawaii nothing in the caribean or mexico compares. May in belize . I dont smoke reformed for over 10 years, light drinker usually a tea guy dont do much caffine because of age and heart burn that started at about 36. dont mind buffet food but also like th try different foods. Will try mulitple entrees for dinner is they are thing that sound unique. Like read bios, history bood baldachi and Claancy and higgins books.
Ajaybeta: Sent ya a PM. Have a local pal that probably will travel with me. Leaving this up in case that falls through. Will be making bookings by the end of the month.

Duck Hunt is one of the first home games that you could play with a light gun. While the gameplay became repetitive after only a couple of times playing, it still made for a big hit. The graphics were nice, with bright colors and well drawn sprites. The sound effects were nice too, with the dog giving you a little chuckle if you ever miss the ducks. Many people have tried to shoot him for this, but it simply can't be done. Duck Hunt can be a lot of fun to play, so be sure to check it out.
There are three games to choose from. In game A, you must shoot as many ducks as you can, with one duck appearing at a time. In game B it's the same, except the ducks come two at a time. Game C is clay pigeon shooting. Clay pigeons are launched two at a time, and you must shoot them before they hit the ground.
In each variation of the game, you will have stages that are built on ten targets, whether the targets are clay pigeons or ducks. After ten targets, the game will count up how many you hit. Each stage will require you to shoot a higher percentage of the ten to move on. What stage you get to doesn't matter so much, because this game is all about points. If you fail to make it to the next stage though, it's game over.
All three variations also give you three shots per screen, after that you will have to watch your targets either fly away, or hit the ground.
|Shoot at screen
|Start Game
|Shoot Offscreen
|Select game mode
|Control the Ducks
|In game A, you can plug a controller into the other controller port, and a friend can use it to control which direction the duck flies.

will always be in exact proportion to our service." – Earl Nightingale
The first job I accepted out of school offered significantly less in total annual earnings than the highest offer I had on the table. Despite being a huge extrinsic rewards guy, I had a very good reason for accepting the offer despite the salary… but the money definitely bothered me at the time.
With that said, the hiring manager at the time said: "This is the most we can move without creating compression issues, but if you come in and perform for us we will pay you for it accordingly."
That stuck with me, and to this day (whenever I believe it to be true) I say something similar to a candidate if he/she expresses concern about the offered salary and the hiring manager doesn't have anymore room to move for "X" reason.
…If you are contributing at a high level then that will get noticed and you'll be compensated accordingly. If that doesn't happen then go work somewhere else, but first put in the work. Don't have an entitlement mentality. No one owes you anything that you haven't earned; and you seldom earn anything just by showing up.
Keep that in mind as we get started this week. Are you giving 100% today?
As always, please share your thoughts in the comments section below.
Happy Monday,

Surviving The Bomb
Shigeko Sasamori was 13 years old on August 6, 1945. At 8:15 AM she was working with her junior high classmates clearing the streets of Hiroshima, Japan. She looked up into the clear blue sky when she heard a plane flying overhead and saw something white dropping to the earth. Shigeko was less than a mile from the center of the explosion caused by the world's first atomic bomb.
Somehow, Shigeko survived, but she had terrible burns over most of her body. Some of her fingers had fused together and scars on her face made her and others like pariahs in Japan for fear of contamination.
One of the young women injured by the bomb
Ten years later, in 1955, she was one of 25 young women called "Hiroshima Maidens" who were brought to the US for corrective surgeries at Mt. Sinai Hospital in Manhattan. She became a nurse and lives today in the United States.
She joins guest host Aaron Henkin to talk about her memories of the bomb and what she has done with her life since. Now retired and 75, Shigeko speaks out against the building of nuclear weapons, using what happened to her as an warning.

Nothing Is Ever As It Seems
David Spear was a newspaper editor when at the age of 50 he decided to do something new. He thought about painting, but once he tried photography, he was hooked.
His first book, "The Neugents," featured an intimate view of a rural family. After that book was published, David moved to Mexico on a whim. His latest book, "Visible Spirits," was inspired by his new life in Mexico.
In this conversation from January, David spoke to Dick Gordon about girls cradling fish, youngsters holding ravens and other near-mythical stories from Mexico.
A 1992 recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, David's photographs are now in the permanent collections of museums across the nation, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the New Orleans Museum of Art, and the Museum of Fine Art in Houston.

His beautiful wife has passed away and Carl finds himself faced with a lonely existence. He is reminded daily of a fantastical life's dream he and his beloved Ellie never realized.
In a moment of clarity, Carl seizes upon his vast knowledge of helium and latex and transforms his home into a flying contraption, heading towards a waterfall in South America and the fulfilling of his and Ellie's dream.
The popularity and genius of this film is that it addresses a facet of life most everyone can relate to.
Childhood dreams of flying in a rocket ship to the moon, or starring on Broadway, or building a house next to a towering waterfall in South America eventually give way to less exotic realities such as making a living, establishing a career, and raising a family.
For Chris Wells, son of Larry and Karen Wells of Monticello and one of the artists involved with creating this beautifully animated film, the realization of his dream parallels Carl's journey in its creative and unconventional path.
Chris Wells was in the fourth grade when he began experimenting with coding and computer art.
At Upward Bound, held each summer on the College of Eastern Utah campus in Blanding, Wells learned to use a wonderful bit of software called Lightwave 3D. It is the same software he uses everyday now.
By the time he reached undergraduate studies at Brigham Young University, Chris had taught himself how to animate using valuable skills such as lighting, modeling, animating, and painting with his creative mind and his computer.
Naturally, Chris wanted to become a student in the renowned animation program at BYU.
Upon applying, however, Chris found that one of the requirements is being able to do figure drawing, with pencil and paper.
"I don't draw, but I do pretty well on the computer," said Wells. "My motor skills, as far as making a pencil do what I want, were never there. My skills have always been my mind, to a computer, to the screen."
The rigidity of the BYU admission rules proved impenetrable for Wells, who after working extra hard for another year, found himself once again rejected by the program.
Like old Carl Fredrickson pulling his balloon laden house along the cliff top, Wells refused to let this hurdle block his dream. He applied for the film program, was accepted, and quickly began using his animation skills there.
That year, in BYU's final cut film festival, there were only two animated student films that made it to the "Best of" category. One was produced by the BYU animation program, and the other was by Chris Wells.
Two years later, Wells was working at the LDS Motion Picture Studio as the lead 3D artist. He was hiring and training interns who were members of the program he once longed to be a part of.
From there, Wells' career jettisoned. Wells said, "In an interview at Origami Digital in Los Angeles, my boss asked what I went to school for. I said, 'I went into film because I am self taught in visual effects.'
"He said, 'That's exactly what I want. You have to be able to solve problems constantly in this business. People that can just figure it out on their own are the guys that you actually hire, because they will figure out the problem.'"
Wells credits his problem-solving abilities mostly to his formative years in Monticello. His parents, Larry and Karen Wells, owned and operated a wilderness survival rehabilitation program called Wilderness Quest.
Helping his dad in the deserts of San Juan County gave him countless opportunities to develop his most important skill set.
"Being out in the woods with my dad, you're constantly trying to figure out how to do things and how to make things work," said Chris.
"In the wilderness program, I saw him solving problems constantly. I think that was very helpful. That is what has helped me throughout my career, being able to see how to get things done in the most efficient way."
Wells next interviewed at Pixar, where he landed a job as a lighting technical director working on films such as UP! and Toy Story 3. His team was responsible for all the marketing material, posters, magazines, and giant billboards.
His UP! poster for UK theaters was so popular that it became the UP DVD cover that has been sold all over the world. So there is a chance you have some of his art in your home.
Wells' creative process goes something like this: "I take all the characters and lay them out in the sketch, an animator fine tunes the poses and then I add more aspects and characters from the film. I do the painting and lighting on it. Also the simulations of how the cloth folds and how the feathers look. And then paint it up and make it pretty."
After a few years with Pixar, Wells got a call from his old studio, Origami Digital, which made him an offer he couldn't refuse. He headed back to LA and worked on The Amazing Spider Man, and co-wrote/directed a children's animated pilot, before making a life changing decision.
A few of Wells' best friends in Orem had started a CGI studio called Blufire. They were tempting him to come back to Utah and become a "bigger part of a smaller pie."
Chris and his wife Krista (whom he met through her roommate, an employee of Wilderness Quest) had always wanted to get back home to Utah. They decided the time was right to pull up roots and head back to the mother land.
The couple has three children, Gabriel, Evie and Addie. Gabriel was just about to start Kindergarten and the couple wanted him to begin school in Utah.
The move proved to be a blessing in unexpected ways. Two years after coming back, Krista's father unexpectedly passed away. Chris said, "It was a really great blessing for us to have those last couple of years with him."
The move has also rewarded Wells' career. Of his new studio, he says, "We are just a bunch of guys helping each other do what we love. Blufire is a really unique business, that wouldn't work if we weren't all good friends."
This is because each of them are technically self employed, who help each other with their various projects. The system, although unorthodox, has proved to be very fruitful.
Blufire was featured for their work on HENRi by Cinefex, which is the CGI world's most renowned visual effects magazine. Cinefex recognizes excellence in CGI and special effects, and featured Blufire, along with Ironman and Star Trek in one issue.
Blufire tied with Skyfall for best use of practical effects mixed with CG. While hundreds of animators worked on the blockbuster James Bond film, HENRi was created by six CGI artists at Blufire, including Chris Wells.
The team at Blufire continues on toward their own proverbial waterfall in the sky, tying balloons to their hopes to fly out into the unknown and make their dreams come true.
They are the go-to studio in Utah for all things visual effects, working on many varied projects. They have worked on everything from Saints and Soldiers, to national ads, to The Christmas Dragon, a story that is more geared towards children.
The artists at Blufire plan eventually to turn their vast imaginations into their own films. With all the success and hard work that flourishes at Blufire, you can bet that those dreams are not far from realization.
And one could say that especially for the talented CGI artist Chris Wells, much like his creations, Carl Fredrickson and his balloons, the sky is most assuredly NOT the limit.

When we love ourselves we have healthy boundaries.
Self Care is a popular catch phrase right now and rightly so. It is vitally important because in this busy world we have a never ending to do list and self – care is important to feeling fully renewed.
Self care is basically the act of taking care of ourselves; physically and mentally. This means different things for different people.
Time with friends, Eating well, Getting enough sleep, Yoga, Medication , Creative pursuits… you get the drift .
I wrote about self care in a previous post, here
Self love on the other hand is about cultivating gratitude and acceptance towards self. While we can cultivate self love through self care, at the end of the day we must learn to completely love and accept ourselves.
Healthy boundaries
When we love ourselves we have healthy boundaries
"We are often not comfortable about setting boundaries because we are more concerned about what people will think, we don't want to disappoint any one, we want everyone to like us and boundaries are not easy."Brene Brown
True self love is knowing what is our role/job and what is the job of others. Protecting others from pain or discomfort sucks energy from us and is often at the cost of our own time, activities, energy, preferences. Then we get resentful, angry, tired and have a martyr mentality.
Doing for others leaks your power and deprives them of the opportunity to be self sufficient, grow and care for their own needs.
Lack of communication can lead to simple misunderstandings blowing way open. We need to express ourselves simply and clearly when communicating our boundaries to others
Communication reinforces self love because it ensures we are strong enough to speak our piece. ( I find this take practice!)
I always say you should not do for another adult what they are capable of doing themselves.
Where are you leaking your power to save others?
How can you let others find their own strength and power?
Footnote: I am loving reading and listening to the work of Brene Brown right now. At the risk of going all Molly Meldrum on you……..do yourself a favour and check out her Ted Talk on vulnerability

Replacement of Acid Components in Pig Diets
For nutritionists, there is sometimes when they are very stressed because the space in the feed is somehow limited: it always has to add up to 100%. They would like to have 110% because they want to add more vitamins, more premix, etc. There's always a question: is there a way to make room in swine diet formulation?
Yes. With the right tools, swine producers can make space in the diet and reduce the amount of acids in the formulation while maintaining performance.
Feed matters
Swine producers look to achieve high levels of productivity, reach full genetic potential and generally have good performance. To do so, we have to look into the feed formulation. We have to look into the components going into the feed which play an essential role. This is where most of the money is invested—feed is actually one of the biggest costs in animal production.
Contaminants in feed can include pathogens. Gram-negative bacteria such as Salmonella and E. coli inflict real economic losses on animal production, so any way to limit their spread is welcome.
Why acidify
- Help to create a barrier against pathogens
- Ensure good feed and water quality
- Address Gram-negative bacterial challenges
- Help animals maintain normal pH levels in the stomach to support enzyme secretion and digestion
Lowering stomach pH and reducing the buffer capacity of the feed go hand in hand in terms of the acidification feed and its effects in animals.
Over the course of three weeks after a piglet is born, it starts to adapt its stomach pH down to a normal pH level of 3— where optimum activation of pepsinogen into pepsin happens. This is the point where we wean the piglets, changing from a milk diet to a solid diet, sending the stomach pH up to 4 or 5. At these levels, the pepsinogen is poorly activated—and proteins will therefore travel undigested into the intestinal tract and later cause problems.
Application of organic acids can serve to avoid this issue.
The untold story
Aside from reducing pH levels, organic acids have the ability to enter and disrupt Gram-negative bacteria through both undisssociated and dissociated ways—the former having a direct effect: the latter; and indirect one.
The combination of different acids can have a synergistic effect. A trial conducted by BIOMIN showed that the combination of formic acid and propionic acid had a bigger effect on Salmonella and E. coli inhibition than either of the acids administered individually. In this case, one component's main role is to cross the bacterial membranes while the other lowers the pH—resulting in higher efficacy.
Scientific literature has documented the capacity of certain substances to permeabilize, or make porous, the lipopolysaccharide outer cell wall of Gram-negative bacteria. In this way, organic acids or naturally occurring antimicrobial substances within the animal can more easily enter the bacteria and disrupt the pathogens.
Even at low inclusion levels, the BIOMIN Permeabilizing Complex –a component of Biotronic® Top line– has been shown to be quite effective in permeating the membranes of Gram-negative bacteria.
More room in formulation
Through the combination of organic acids, phytochemical substances and the BIOMIN Permeabilizing Complex comprising Biotronic® Top line, producers can replace a significant portion of conventional acids in the diets while reducing the overall portion of acids applied. A general recommendation would be 1kg of Biotronic® Top line to replace 2kg of conventional acids.
Field experience
The first trial had 12 pens of 10 weaned piglets each, divided into 4 groups: a negative control group (no acids), a benzoic acid-based product group (5kg/ton), Biotronic® Top line (2kg/ton), a combined benzoic acid and Biotronic® Top line group (replacement). Benzoic acid plays a good role in the feed conversion ratio. The replacement group's results were better than for the negative control or the single acid group.
The second trial was conducted on behalf of a feed mill that wanted to reduce its acids component without any major changes in terms of performance. We replaced 6kg/ton formic acid-based product with 1.5kg/ton of Biotronic® Top line, resulting in slightly better (though not statistically significant) performance, including a 3-point FCR improvement while reducing the total cost of the feed.
- The combination of organic acids, phytogenic substances and the BIOMIN Permeabilizing Complex have a greater effect than conventional acids.
- Breaking up the membrane of Gram-negative bacteria boosts the efficacy of antimicrobial substances.
- Making space in diets eases the job of nutritionists and can generate costs savings.

Josh McCown could cost Jay Cutler millions
Can your team moving the football, scoring points and winning games actually hurt your career? It can if you are Jay Cutler, the Chicago Bears quarterback who is in the final year of the contract he signed with the franchise when he was traded from the Denver Broncos.
I wrote back in August that I thought the Bears were doing the right thing by waiting before signing him to a long-term big money deal because of his track record of not getting along with his offensive coordinators. Marc Trestman was also entering his first season as head coach, another reason for pause. It didn't make sense to commit to Cutler until Trestman had the opportunity to work with him.
MORE: NFL All-Bargain team | Week 11 picks | TUCKER: Examining QB injuries
The Bears decision to hold off is looking very smart right now.
It isn't anything Cutler has done. He has played pretty well and to this point has had his best season under center for the Bears. He's on track through eight starts to have by far his best statistical season in Chicago and both he and Trestman deserve a lot of credit for that. Perhaps even more importantly, he has by all accounts been a model citizen and a true team leader thus far this season.
The problem for Cutler, at least as far as leverage for a new contract is concerned, is how well his back-up, Josh McCown, has played. McCown is your typical journeyman back-up. Yet, in three separate opportunities over the last three games he hasn't just played well—he's excelled. You could argue, especially given the circumstances he's been thrust into, that McCown has outplayed Cutler so far. He has four touchdowns and zero interceptions and a quarterback rating over 100 for his three appearances.
It'd be foolish for anyone to suggest that this doesn't impact Cutler or his standing with the Bears. How do you justify paying a guy $20 million a year—which Cutler is surely going to want based on the contracts doled out to Joe Flacco, Matt Ryan, and Tony Romo this offseason—when you can get the same or maybe even better production from a guy making $865,000?
You can't, and my guess is the Bears won't.
Even if they don't think it is viable to go with McCown or a guy like him for the long haul, Trestman could draft the quarterback of his choice in the middle of the first round in this May's draft and pay him less than $5 million a year while holding his rights for the next five seasons. That could make a lot of sense for a new coach like Trestman given his penchant for getting every triggerman he has worked with to play the best football of their career.
MORE: 2014 NFL mock draft
And given Cutler's bristly personality, do you really want to give him so much guaranteed money that it basically makes him above reproach?
Maybe Cutler doesn't care. Given the dearth of quality starting quarterbacks who are available every offseason, he is sure to get $20 million a year from some team. Heck, given the importance of the position and the desperation on the part of so many franchises to get a legitimate starter, I wouldn't be surprised if Cutler got several offers closer to $25 million a year.
But if he wants to make big money and stay in Chicago? He'd be better off if McCown stopped making things look so easy in Trestman's offense, starting Sunday against Baltimore.

When WorldTeach volunteer Dave Madsen left China at the end of May, he encountered several difficult "goodbyes". Dave shows us the unforgettable friendships one will make when volunteering abroad and the difficult part – leaving it all behind. Check out Dave's story below!
I will leave Chenxi tomorrow.
I've always known that my life and work in this relatively small Chinese town has had a finite quality to it—no matter how much of an affect I perceive myself making on the students, the residents, and the authorities of this cog in the Great Red Machine, I am often forced to remind myself that life in Chenxi will continue to move at a fairly undisturbed pace when I leave. When my inner waijiao gets the better of me though, I picture my absence from this western Hunan community to be a noticeable one: "Where did that strangely-dressed laowaigo?"; "Did the foreigner finally get that we were ripping him off?"; "Who is going to entertain my two year-old now that the foreign teacher is gone?" Within a few months, it is likely that the majority of Chenxiren will regard me as just another in a line of similarly-strange presences from the Western world. But, then there are a few who I know will miss me as much as I do them.
"Okay, you're buying tomatoes, cucumbers, scallions, and garlic. That'll be ¥8 kuai, all together."
To appear more confident, the vendor at my more regular wet market straightens his shoulders whenever he talks to me. When he gets his haircut every other month, it's hard to imagine such a handsome man selling eggplants all day. But, he seems happy with his job and it's no wonder—he practically has a monopoly on good produce.
"You don't want eggs today?" he asked as he motioned to the crates of chicken eggs near his table. "You usually buy eggs."
"No, I don't need them today," I responded. "Did you know that I will return home on Friday?"
"Oh, to see your family?"
"Yes. I will live there for about three months."
"And then you will return to Chenxi to start a new semester?"
My stomach twisted upwards. Our goodbye suddenly had the potential to become very awkward.
"No," I said. "I will return to China, but I will go to Jiangsu University to teach English."
"Mm," the vendor nodded. "Jiangsu is very rich. It's not like Chenxi. You'll be happier there."
"Really? Why?"
"Because Jiangsu has many foreigners. Many Chenxi people are very rude."
"But you're not rude," I reassured him. "You're my good friend."
The vendor laughed, his tense upper-shoulders melted into their proper place. He handed me my many-colored variety of vegetable bags.
"A gift," he said. "Have a good journey."
"You're leaving the day after tomorrow, right?"
The barbell was tickling my chest as I lowered it for my final repetition. The owner of Chenxi's small fitness club recently appointed himself as my personal trainer, on top of giving me a free membership. His biceps are comically bloated, most likely due to the pharmacy of supplements he dips into after each daily, three-hour workout.
"Right," I said I rested the bar on the weight bench. "I'll go to Changsha first and then I'll fly to America."
"Which state will you go to?" the trainer asked as he began to add more weight to the barbell.
"My mother and father live in Minnesota," I replied as I wiped away the sweat from my forehead. "So, I'll also live in Minnesota."
The trainer nodded and secured the final 5kg weight into place. "Do you have a job in America?"
"No," I said. "I will come back to China for work."
"If you come back to Chenxi, you can work here," he explained.
"Right, I could work at Number Two Middle School."
"No. I mean you could work at this gym. You could teach people how to exercise."
I laughed.
"Seriously," he said. "I can pay you a lot of money and you can live in my apartment."
"This class is our last class," I said in Chinese as the bell rang. "So, I just want to say 'Thank you' and 'Bye-bye!'"
My students stirred in their seats, confused and awkward as early-adolescents should be. But then an unexpected, emphatic chant rose over the class: "No bye-bye! No bye-bye! No bye-bye!"

Pegasys (peginterferon alfa-2a) was approved in October 2002 for the treatment of adults with chronic hepatitis C who have compensated liver disease and have not previously been treated with interferon alpha, including patients with compensated cirrhosis. Pegasys is a pegylated interferon that remains active in the bloodstream longer and at a more constant level than interferon alpha.
Pegasys is available as premixed solution. It is administered at a dose of 180 ug as a subcutaneous injection once a week for a recommended duration of 48 weeks.
Three pivotal phase III clinical studies of Pegasys demonstrated that the sustained virological response (defined as undetectable serum hepatitis C RNA levels post-treatment [on or after study week 68]) in the Pegasys treated subjects was as high as 38% in the overall population versus 19% in the interferon alfa-2a group. Subjects with cirrhosis who were treated with Pegasys showed a sustained virological response as high as 30% versus 8% in the interferon alfa-2a group. Subjects with genotype 1 treated with Pegasys showed showed a sustained virological response of up to 23%, compared to 6% in the interferon alfa-2a group.
In addition, studies indicated that it can be determined at week 12 of treatment whether a subject is unlikely to attain a sustained virological response with Pegasys. This could prevent subjects from continuing a therapy to which they will most likely be unresponsive.
In clinical studies, the following adverse events were reported most often:
Alpha interferons, including Pegasys, may cause or aggravate fatal or life-threatening neuropsychiatric, autoimmune, ischemic, and infectious disorders.
Pegasys is produced when interferon alfa-2a undergoes the process of pegylation in which one or more chains of polyethylene glycol (also known as PEG) are attached to another molecule. In Pegasys, a large, branched, mobile PEG is attached to the interferon alfa-2a molecule, providing a selectively protective barrier against rapid absorption, metabolism and elimination. At the same time, the PEG maintains the ability of the interferon alfa-2a to attack the virus.

Stinger / Strut Outdrives
The outdrives are the most important part of the drive hardware. There are two types of outdrives that are commonly found on RC boats.
These include the Stinger outdrive and strut drive. Stinger drives are usually only found on mono hulls. They house the prop shaft completely from the transom to nearly the prop. This provides a unique appearance to the hull.
A strut setups is more commonly found on all hull types. This holds the prop shaft usually a set distance away from the transom.
Drive Dog / Prop Shaft
The drive dog is used on the prop shaft to transfer power from the prop shaft to the prop. There are different sizes for each shaft size. Select the one that works best. The distance between the drive dog and strut/stinger should be the thickness of the cable. If you are using a .187" size flex shaft keep the distance between the drive dog and strut/stinger to .187" or 3/16"
Flex cables shorten when under load. This set distance will allow the flex cable to shorten and not wreck havoc on the motor, strut or create extra drag from binding. Keep in mind this will never be seen on the bench, it only occurs when the boat is running in the water.
Flex Coupler/Thrust Bearing/Motor Mount.
This component couples the flex shaft to the motor shaft to transfer the power. Also known as Flex Hex. It is wise to place a thing coating of solder on to the flex shaft in the area the flex coupler will hold it. This maintains a nice snug grip while not separating the winds from the flex shaft. The coupler can easily be seen in the photo above. Directly behind the coupler is known as the thrust bearing. The thrust bearing takes the thrust from prop and directs it to the motor mount as seen in the photo. In other cases the thrust bearing can direct the power to the motor can itself. Depending on which motor mount is used will determine where the thrust from the prop will end up.
Flex Cable
The flex cable delivers power from the motor to the prop shaft. It is flexible, hence the name, to allow power transfer in tighter spaces and mainly to allow the prop shaft to be close to parallel with the bottom of the hull. In order to achieve this the flex cable is bent with motor on an angle. Flex shafts come in 3 Main diameters.
0.125″ – For lower Power Setups
0.150″ – Mid Power Setups
0.187″ – Mid to High Power Setups
0.250″ – High Power Setups
The flex cable also comes in many different lengths. Therefore it's required to cut the flex cable to the proper size. In order to cut the flex cable it is most beneficial to solder the cable first. This will prevent any unwinding during the cutting process. Once the section to be cut has been soldered, use a dremel or any other sufficient device to cut the cable. Be certain the flex cable is still tinned on the end after the cut. This way the flex coupler can grab the cable without crushing the cable.
Stuffing Tube
The stuffing tube supports the flex cable shaft. It provides the shape the shaft will follow. It should be placed as close to the motor as possible and usually goes right inside the strut or stinger. The stuffing tube in some cases house a Teflon tube which also is used to support the flex cable.
The stuffing tube can be made out of K&S tubing with sizes as follows:
Stuffing tube Size when used with Teflon tubing
3/16″ tube for Octura .098 Teflon tubing.
7/32″ tube for Octura .130 Teflon tubing.
1/4″ tube for Octura .150 Teflon tubing.
9/32 tube for Octura .187 Teflon tubing.
11/32 tube for Octura .250 Teflon tubing.
Stuffing tube sizes when used with out Teflon tubing:
5/32″ tube for Octura .098 Flex Cable.
3/16″ tube for Octura .130 Flex Cable.
7/32″ tube for Octura .150 Flex Cable.
7/32″ tube for Octura .187 Flex Cable.

"In addition to wearing pink every day in October and raising awareness about breast cancer, these men will be raising funds to help the American Cancer Society save more lives from breast cancer," said Lizzie Hunter, Senior Manager for the American Cancer Society. "Funds raised allow the Society to help save lives from breast cancer through early detection and prevention, innovative breast cancer research, and patient support."
Hunter explained, "Each Real Men Wear Pink candidate is charged with a personal fundraising challenge, but we've made it a team effort here to work towards a common goal. Last year our campaign was ranked #4 out of over 260 campaigns in the country so this year our team, made up of nearly 30 Capital Region leaders, plans to work together to raise more than $150,000…and keep the Capital Region leading our national fight against breast cancer!"
The UAlbany athletic department planned this game in support of its athletic director, Mark Benson, who committed to joining 24 other prominent Capital Region men in taking a stand against breast cancer throughout the American Cancer Society's 2018 Real Men Wear Pink Campaign.
"I'm excited to be a part of the Real Men Wear Pink Campaign," Benson said. "We enjoy a great relationship with the American Cancer Society through the annual Coaches v Cancer event. Unfortunately, cancer touches everyone. This year, I'm pleased to be joined by other UAlbany Head Coaches in our support for the Real Men Wear Pink Campaign and forming the UAlbany Athletics Real Men Wear Pink team."
