Feeling the Zeal difference means different things to different people.
But now a clinical study backs up that there definitely is a Zeal difference. Recent clinical trial results from independent third-party research firm KGK Synergize* confirm that the positive benefits of drinking Zeal include improved mood, stronger vigor and vitality, and less anxiety and fatigue. Under the highest scientific standards, the study was conducted on healthy and active people not trying to improve mood or enhance their current health. Yet, after just 28 days of drinking Zeal twice a day, 85% felt better. The difference was significant.
Zeal has a positive impact on improving overall POMS (TMD) scores and the subsets relating to Anger and Hostility. These effects were statistically significant when comparing the results of two doses per day to placebos over a 28 day period.
2-dose Zeal improved the POMS Iceberg profile that measures subsets of POMS relating the Vigor and Vitality, with a significant within-group increase in Vigor and Activity. These improvements were associated with significant decreases (improvements) within the 2-dose group in the POMS subdomains of Tension and Anxiety, Despondency and Dejection, Anger and Hostility, Fatigue and Inertia, Confusion and Bewilderment.
While there were significant improvements in most areas measured for both 2-dose and 1-dose Zeal, only improvements in Total Mood Disturbance and the subdomain of Anger and Hostility associated with 2-dose Zeal resulted in statistically significant changes compared to the placebo groups.
That said, the overall conclusions of the investigators were that Zeal makes a positive impact on multiple parameters of mood state in healthy individuals who are moderately stressed.

The secret to Hector Santiago's return to late-inning success might be throwing a few less strikes.
Santiago specifically is targeting a reduction in the four home runs he has allowed in 6 1/3 innings, after giving up just 11 in 132 2/3 innings last season.
"I've actually thought about going out of the zone with certain pitches instead of trying to throw everything for strikes," Santiago said. "I try to make sure I don't walk anybody.
"Sometimes you have to go out of the zone to be able to get somebody to chase something, and I don't think I've been doing that of late. Maybe I need to get someone to chase something and ground out or swing over something."
Locating the screwball certainly is not an issue in Santiago's mind. He felt as if that pitch was at its best this season during Wednesday's appearance against the A's and still doesn't regret the changeup thrown to Yoenis Cespedes that led to the game-tying homer.
"I've actually figured out how to throw it at a lower velocity where I had it last year and throw a bigger break," said Santiago of his screwball. "It's just a fact that I'm throwing it right in the middle of the plate. I have to start working on getting off the plate."
Here are some Pitch-F/X stuff for Santiago: Player Card from BrooksBaseball.net. Pitcher Profile from TexasLeaguers.com. Heat Maps from Fangraphs.com.

Section 16I: Housing and Economic Development Trust Fund
Section 16I. (a) There shall be a Housing and Economic Development Trust Fund to be administered by the secretary of housing and economic development. Monies in the fund shall be deposited with the state treasurer in a manner that will secure the highest interest rate available consistent with the safety of the fund and with the requirement that all amounts on deposit be available for immediate use.
(b) The secretary shall appoint the trustee of the fund, who shall serve until a successor is appointed.
(c) There shall be credited to the fund: (i) grants, bequests, gifts or contributions of cash or securities, or contributions of services or property in kind from any persons or other governmental, nongovernmental, quasi-governmental or local governmental entities made for the purpose of supporting the executive office of housing and economic development as set forth in subsection (d); and (ii) all interest earned on monies in the trust.
(d) Expenditures from the fund shall not be subject to appropriation and balances remaining at the end of a fiscal year shall not revert to the General Fund. Expenditures from the fund shall be made only for the following purposes: (i) operating costs of the executive office of housing and community development, including the divisions and programs within the executive office; (ii) operating costs of the Massachusetts marketing partnership and the offices within the partnership, including the Massachusetts international trade office, the commonwealth marketing office, the office of travel and tourism, the Massachusetts film office and the Massachusetts sports partnership; and the Massachusetts office of business development, including the divisions and programs within that office; and (iii) costs associated with housing and economic development programs, grants and initiatives of the secretary.

Which car would win a quarter-mile drag race, a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray or the Tesla Model S? DragTimes, in a bout of scientific inquiry, had to find out.
Just in case you're wondering, the contestant on the left is the 85-kWh Performance version of the pure-electric sedan, while the contestant on the right is a Z51 Stingray with a six-speed automatic transmission. The Stingray with the Z51 package makes 460 hp and 465 lb-ft of torque, which is good for a 0-60 mph time of 3.8 seconds and a quarter mile in 12. It weighs in at a fleeting 3,298 pounds for a pounds-per-pony ratio of 7.17.
Meanwhile, the Tesla Model S Performance makes 416 hp and 443 lb-ft of torque from zero rpm. Tesla says the model S can sprint to 60 in 4.2 seconds with a top speed of 130 mph. It weighs in at a slightly heavier 4,647 pounds for a PPP ratio of 11.17.
Their performance stats are closer than you'd think, but we haven't seen a matchup between the two at an actual drag strip until now. You've got to hand it to the Tesla Model S—let's not forget that a four-door sedan is taking on a modern muscle car icon here, and the Tesla's effortless takeoff seems almost supernatural. No noise, no drama and no shifting.
Still, we know in which car we'd rather be in when this of showdown was taking place: the one with the better soundtrack.
For more videos, news, reviews, and our own scintillating take on life with a Model S (hint: it's not as rose-tinted as you might think), visit Autoweek.com.

Some of the puzzles that people list for the public get indexed by the search engines (like Google). Some people find those puzzles and cannot figure out how to make a puzzle of their own. So this page now has the navigation sidebar.
There are now buttons on the puzzle so that you can get a clean page, in either HTML or PDF, that you can use your browser's print button to print. The PDF format allows the web site to know how large a printer page is, and the fonts are scaled to fill the page. The PDF takes awhile to generate. Don't panic!

"Entertaining and witty. . . . A sly send-up of society in Edinburgh."–Orlando Sentinel

AirForce USA .20 Cal Condor Bounty Hunter PCP HPA Air Rifle Pellet Gun Spin-Loc in Red
Precharged pneumatic
Power adjustment wheel
Lothar Walther barrel 1:16 twist
Removable 490cc air tank
3,000 psi (206 bar) max tank pressure
Tank has pressure-release valve
11mm dovetail for optics mounting
Gun is made of aircraft-grade aluminum and space-age polymers
Includes UNMOUNTED thumbhole stock and flash suppressor
Gun is Built in USA
The new Spin-Loc tank includes an adjustable buttplate an integral air pressure gauge (manometer). When we add the Bounty Hunter thumbhole stock the buttplate becomes on-adjustable because we drill a hole in the buttplate to anchor the TH stock.
NOTE: The .20 cal pellets are slightly longer than the .22 cal pellets of the same weight. Therefore, they drag in the barrel a little more and produce lower velocities. The quoted figures are actual test figures and are correct.
You'll need an adapter to fill the reservoir with air. The type of adapter depends on how you plan to fill your gun. A scuba tank will require a different adapter than a hand pump or carbon fiber tank. If you use a hand pump, the type of adapter you need depends on the brand of pump you use.
The .177-caliber Condor has a special tank valve spring. If you plan to attach other caliber barrels to your gun, you may want to buy a tank made for the other calibers. If you use the .177-caliber tank with the other smallbore calibers you'll experience a drop of 50-100 fps in those calibers. However, if you buy the .20, .22, or .25 caliber but plan to also attach a .177-caliber barrel, you must buy a .177-caliber air tank. If you don't the tank valve spring will not close fast enough and all your air will be dumped.

Ian Moore, president and owner of Big Boy's Toys Ltd. in Nanoose Bay, B.C., has been elected as the new chairman of the Recreation Vehicle Dealers Association (RVDA) of Canada.
According to a press release, Big Boy's Toys has been serving Vancouver Island for over 30 years. Moore has been involved in the dealership for 15 of those years.
In 1998, Moore and his family purchased 50% of the shares in Big Boy's Toys and subsequently purchased the remaining shares of the company in 2001. Since Moore became involved in the company, Big Boy's Toys has more than doubled its number of employees, now providing employment for 15 full-time personnel.
In July 2000, the company moved from a one-acre leased property to its current eight acres in the Nanoose area and now consists of a large business office/showroom, a 2000-square-foot parts store and a 5,000-square-foot service department.
Moore has also continued to participate in industry related matters and had been involved with the RVDA of British Columbia for a number of years, having sat on the board as treasurer for two terms, as vice president for two terms and as president for one term.

"I am very excited about the direction and growth the association has had over the past few years and I will strive to ensure its continued success. Please know that my door is always open and I look forward to working with all of our industry partners to ensure our industry's continued success."
Moore's dealership continues to be an active member of the Better Business Bureau as well as a supporter of the local Chamber of Commerce. In addition, Big Boy's Toys has been an active supporter of local food banks over the last five years and together with support from numerous local businesses has been successfully assisting the organizations through the companies' annual "Help Fill the MoHo with Food Campaign".

(Podargus strigoides)
The daytime camouflage of the Tawny Frogmouth is extraordinary. Male and female pair permanently and during the day roost near one another on bare but sheltered branches, stumps, and even shaded ground. At the hint of threat or disturbance they freeze, compacting their plumage and closing eye slits and looking just like a broken branch. Only if pushed do they flash or react with a frightening snapping of their yellow, mouthed bills.
Tawny Frogmouths inhabit open forests and woodlands of eucalypts and acacias throughout Australia. There three races – one southeastern Australia north to region of Cairns-Cooktown and west to inland regions of the Great Dividing Range and southeastern Australia; two Western Australia north to Great Sandy Desert, northeast to channel Country, Qld, and southeast to Murray mallee, Vic; and last northern Australia, south to the Great Sandy Desert, Barkly Tableland and southern plains of Gulf of Carpentaria, Qld.
All frogmouths are night-active, mainly in the several hours just after dusk and before dawn. Large nocturnal insects, spiders and myriapods are prime prey and these the birds snatch from the ground or low branches in gliding dives from a vantage perch. Food is captured with their beak.
Nesting duties are shared evenly by the sexes; building, incubating, brooding and feeding one another on the nest, as well as young. Each may spend up to 12 hours incubating one to three eggs. Breeding is advertised by both partners drumming nightly from the nest site.
The biggest threat to Tawny Frogmouth is road accidents. This is due to insects being attracted to car lights and in turn the Tawny Frogmouth is attracted to the insects. Unfortunately in pursuit of a meal it is common for these birds to glide down and crash into a car.
Tawny Frogmouth Profiles
Age: 13 Years (DOB 1/1/2007)
Sex: Female
Tawny, aka Miss Tawny came to live with us here at Australia Zoo after being a patient of the Australian Zoo Wildlife Hospital.
Little Tawny had a wing injury and was not able to be released back into the wild. Tawny now spends her days blending into her surroundings and enjoying the company of our resident mischievous laughing kookaburras.

With the rise of environment-friendly products on the market, vinegar has emerged as a folk hero of sorts when it comes to cleaning agents. There is a surplus of books, websites, and advice columns about the wonders of this ordinary household item. Testimonials and how-to's can be important, but they don't explore the science and interactions behind vinegar.
Vinegar is usually a mixture of between 4-5 percent of a chemical called acetic acid in water. This acid is versatile and can mix with water, oil, alcohol and almost any other kind of liquid, even gasoline, reaching places that other cleaning products can't. When it is dissolved in water, acetic acid breaks apart into two components, the hydrogen and the remainder of the molecule, called the acetate. The hydrogen will try to bond to any molecule that it encounters, acting like a third wheel and weakening the molecule's structure. These hydrogens are great at cleaning stains made from alkali substances, like soap, urine, and limestone.
The acetate component has an extra electron that hangs off the molecule. The electron acts as a magnet to other atoms, especially metals, to make new molecules. For example, the acetate reacts with molecules in rust and grime and changes their makeup so the water can dissolve them. Acetic acid also gets rid of odors by killing off the bacteria and fungi that cause them. Its acidic nature destroys the cell structure of bacteria, and it stops fungi from turning sugar into energy.
Unlike strong chemicals, like hydrochloric acid, which get their strength by completely breaking apart in water, vinegar maintains a balance within water of about 1% separated acetic acid. This makes vinegar safe to use on cleaning surfaces, but makes it less effective fighting grease or carbon (char) buildup on cooking utensils.
There are a few things that you should not mix vinegar with. Firstly, alkali-cleaning products like soap, lye, and bleach will neutralize the vinegar and alkali at the same time and make both of them ineffective. (Not to mention creating poisonous fumes, as with bleach.) Sometimes, however, neutralization is important. To unclog a drain, you can mix vinegar and baking soda for the "volcano effect". The two will combine to create water and carbon dioxide, increasing the pressure in the drainpipe and dislodging some of the clogging material. Mixing vinegar with an alcohol and a strong acid will create a reaction and completely change the vinegar and alcohol. Lastly, do not try to boil vinegar or heat it up. At high temperatures concentrated acetic acid will become corrosive and can burn through metal and rock.
Vinegar shouldn't be used to clean upholstery, serious drain clogs or ovens. With upholstery, the acetic acid could cause a stain. Vinegar should also not be used to treat metals like iron, stainless steel, bronze, or copper. Following these guidelines and understanding the properties of vinegar can help you get the most from this alternative cleaning agent.

text: MEDPED stands for Make Early Diagnosis to Prevent Early Deaths. It is a research project and a nonprofit organization funded to register and help treat people with inherited cholesterol disorders, such as Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH). The goal is to find persons with FH that are either undiagnosed or inadequately treated and help treat them by following the guidelines set by the National Cholesterol Education Guidelines (NCEP) , finding a diagnosis and finding the right treatment.There are an estimated 10 million individuals with FH world wide. Premature heart disease and death in middle-aged productive men and women occurs because their FH is not diagnosed or properly treated. Few patients are receiving the benefits of recent advances in the diagnosis and treatment of FH.The MEDPED Coordinating Center has the collaboration of the best lipid specialty physicians in the country. One reason treating FH is so cost effective is that untreated FH patients have such a high risk of very early death. Thousands of patients with FH have been identified, through MEDPED, and helped to obtain an accurate diagnosis and the best available treatment to live longer lives! Unfortunately, many patients with FH are still not adequately treated. It is MEDPED's goal to reach as many FH patients, both children and adults. We then educate them about lifestyle changes, as well as help them treat their disorder by advising them and their doctors of the best possible medical treatment therapies available, which includes statin medication. We also want to help FH individuals by continuing research on the treatment of FH and referring them to lipid specialty physicians in their area.If you are interested in participating in this research project, please click here.

Communities across Scotland are being invited to take part in the Big Spring Beach Clean 2016.
The scheme is being organised by Surfers Against Sewage in association with Parley for the Oceans and Klean Kanteen.
Storm Imogen recently swept through the UK, battering the coastline with gale force winds and colossal waves; dumping tonnes of marine litter along the coastline.
Marine litter is now one of the biggest threats to the health and sustainability of our marine ecosystem. A recent report predicts there will be more plastic than fish in the sea by 2050. Every day approximately eight million pieces of marine litter find their way into our oceans causing the death of one million sea birds and 100,000 marine mammals annually.
Community beach cleans play a vital part in tackling the marine litter crisis with recent research demonstrating that removing plastic waste along our coastline is the most effective clean-up method.
Plastic waste collected or intercepted along the coastline is now also being viewed as a vital resource that society can't afford to waste.
The Big Spring Beach Clean is the biggest single community beach clean effort in the UK, uniting 7000 grassroots volunteers to tackle the marine litter crisis in over 200 locations across Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Surfers Against Sewage is now calling for community volunteers to join the Big Spring Beach Clean team. Register your beach today by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com and for a list of registered cleans in your area, visit the events page on www.sas.org.uk
SAS is thrilled to be working closely with partners Parley for the Oceans and their global collaborator network to ensure that as much of the plastics collected as possible at the Big Spring Beach Clean are diverted away from landfill and upcycled into new products.

Definitely would like to see a spinoff series from tonight's CSI episode, "Genetic Disorder," with Pamela Reed as the genealogist-investigator who gets drawn into a different mystery from week to week through her genealogical research business. It's an idea whose time has come. And it has a built-in audience.
I enjoyed the episode tonight and especially the positive portrayal of genealogists and people who are interested in genealogy. It also included the "dark side" of research that many of us have encountered - digging up family secrets that many people would prefer to see left alone.
Wednesday, December 14, 2011
Spinoff! Spinoff!
2 comments:
Hi Greta, I enjoyed it, too, and I usually don't like that show. She was a good character. Reminded me in a way of a younger version of the character that Angela Lansbury portrayed in "Murder, She Wrote," if you remember that show.ReplyDelete
My one point of contention was her line "as a genealogist you go with your gut." I'd say yes, but also back it up with sources.
But I hope some network person thinks like you do; a show that like would be great.
Jenny - Yes, I agree - very much like Angela Lansbury. I like how Pam Reed can project the "tough, tender, and intelligent" image.ReplyDelete

In an unprecedented turn of events, England have managed to score their way into the quarter finals of the World Cup, following a nail-biting 4-3 victory against Colombia on Tuesday night.
While England now face the challenge of securing their place in the semi finals by beating Sweden on Saturday, the nation is already dreaming about bringing the World Cup home for the first time since 1966.
Make the most of England's success and allow yourself to get caught up in World Cup fever this weekend with these celebratory ideas - and hopefully the winning streak will continue.
Throw a street party
Rally up your neighbours and share in the World Cup excitement together with a lively street party, encouraging both football fans and non-fans alike to get involved in the occasion.
Invite everyone to bring along some food and drink, or make the most of the summer weather by throwing a barbecue, and show off your football spirit with flags and team shirts.
Try some football themed beers
Beer and football tend to go hand in hand, but there are a few special World Cup inspired brews you can try instead of your usual pint.
Morrisons are offering a keg (containing more than eight pints of beer) dedicated to the World Cup winning England captian, Bobby Moore.
Named 'Bo66y', the themed beer costs £10 per keg and a donation will be givent the the Bobby Moore fund for each purchase.
Alternatively, Taylor Illingworth Brewing Company have created a unique 'It's Coming Home' brew, made using England's finest hops.
Watch a game on an outdoor screen
As England inch ever closer the semi finals, excitement levels are naturally getting ever higher and what better way to celebrate England's success than with fellow footie fans?
There are a number of outdoor screens around the UK which will be showing the match live, and the atmosphere promises to be a whole lot livelier than watching the game from your living room.
Feast on some regional cuisine
While we may be England and proud, you can still embrace the diversity of the World Cup and use it as an excuse to indulge in a taste tour around the world.
If you're throwing a World Cup party this weekend, why not break the mould and incorporate some more exotic cuisine into the mix, sampling foods from the remaining countries.
From Swedish pancakes, to a Brazilian barbecue, or the French favourite of baguettes, cheese and grapes, there plenty of tasty dishes you can enjoy.
Play some World Cup themed activities
Table football, computer games, or betting on the match winner with prizes up for grabs, are just a few fun activities you can incorporate into a get-together to keep guests entertained and spirits up ahead of kick-off.
Bake up a storm
Get creative in the kitchen and put your baking skills to the test by whipping up some football-inspired sweet treats.
Basic kit-shaped shortbread biscuits, decorated cupcakes, brownies or a football themed cake are a few easy options you could have a go at making.
Host your own footie match
Make the most of the hot weather and get in on the football fun for yourself by having a friendly kick-about ahead of the game with family or friends - or have your own penalty shoot out to see if you can hold your nerve.
Make the most of restaurant deals
If you're planning on heading out to watch the match on Saturday, be sure to make the most of the special food and drink offers up for grabs in restaurants and bars in celebration of the World Cup.
In some venues, you can bag the best seat in the house if you book ahead to watch a live screening, with food and drink included in the deal.

The premiere course is the Don Allen Trails about 15 minutes drive north of La Ronge. These trails - named for Don Allen, who established the La Ronge Ski Club - have a variety of loops, from 1 km to 10 km, and a rewarding summit view along one of them. But, the challenge is to get there! The trails are looped so that 15 km, 20 km, 30 km or more can be done continuously, but if you need a break, the ski club has a wood heated shelter at the base.
The other set of ski trails is at Nut Point, just on the northern edge of La Ronge at the provincial campground. The Nut Point trails have about 5 km of loops, and they are lit at night to accommodate moonlight enthusiasts.
Both sets of trails are expertly groomed by the Ministry of Tourism, Parks, Culture and Sport crew and many dedicated volunteers.

A lesbian asylum seeker had her appeal to remain in the UK rejected on the grounds that she didn't own any literature relating to her sexuality. Brenda Namigadde, who is seeking asylum on the grounds that her life would be put at risk by returning to her native Uganda, won a last-minute injunction against her deportation as her plane waited to take off from Heathrow last night.
In court documents seen by Political Scrapbook, a First-Tier Tribunal immigration judge stated that:
The Appellant appears to have taken no interest in forms of media by magazines, books, or other information relating to her sexual orientation. While there is no requirement to do so it does seem strange … that she has not done so.
This opinion was reached despite Namigadde being singled out by the legislator behind a bill to execute Ugandan homosexuals and the recent murder of the country's leading gay rights activist. David Bahati MP said that Namigadde must "repent or reform" on return to East Africa.
Lesbians in fear for their lives should presumably have a ready supply of jazz mags and KD Lang CDs for distribution to the judiciary.
FULL TEXT: Paragraph 30 of the appeal determination:
"I find that the Appellant was not and is not, on the evidence before me, a lesbian. l End that her credibility is affected by her conduct. l am not obliged to accept her say so of these issues. l find such peripheral information to describe what went on, either in Uganda or in the United Kingdom, very generalised and quite simply lacking in the kind of detail and information of someone genuinely living that lifestyle. The Appellant claims to have freedom to live a life unconstrained and without prejudice. l find the information as to how she has done so over the lengthy period she has been in the United Kingdom singularly lacking in detail or coherence. The Appellant appears to have taken no interest in forms of media by magazines, books or other information relating to her sexual orientation. Whilst there is no requirement to do so it does seem strange, if she is exercising the real sense of freedom she claims, that she does not do so."

A health care agent is a person chosen to make medical decisions for another, should a severe illness or injury occur that makes communication impossible. The document that grants this decision-making power to the person selected is called a medical power of attorney.
A health care agent may also be called a health care proxy or surrogate or an attorney-in-fact.
Although laws vary by state, a health care agent can usually make medical treatment decisions at the end of life or anytime a person is not able to communicate. As soon as a person selects a health care agent, it is important to thoroughly discuss and document medical care preferences, such as when to continue or abandon life-support measures.

mod_perl embeds the Perl programming language in the Apache web
server, giving rise to a fast and powerful web programming
environment. "Practical mod_perl" aims to be the definitive book on
how to use, optimise and troubleshoot mod_perl.
The book is aimed at both server administrators and application
developers, and is well organised so that both groups of readers can
easily find what they need. The bulk of the book is split into four
main parts, covering administration, performance tuning, database
issues and troubleshooting, all in relation to mod_perl 1.0. A
smaller fifth part covers the differences between mod_perl 1.0 and the
as-yet-unreleased mod_perl 2.0, and finally there are a number of
appendices containing example code for common tasks, information on
useful Perl modules, and some information for ISPs wishing to offer
mod_perl to their customers.
As you might expect, the administration section contains the usual
instructions on how to obtain, compile, install and, well, administer
httpd and mod_perl. However, it is here that the authors' attention
to detail starts to be revealed: perhaps a third of this section
comprises analysis of transitioning existing CGIs to mod_perl and of
transitioning from a Perl environment to a mod_perl environment. Many
of the "tricky" aspects of web programming are explained here too:
user aborts and server timeouts are covered, as is the generation of
correct HTTP headers.
The performance tuning section starts with a general analysis of
web application optimisation, and sets out the areas which need to be
addressed in order optimise effectively. Every aspect that could
affect performance is examined, from hardware and operating system
through httpd configuration, multiple-machine setups and web caches,
to your applications themselves, the memory they use and their full
exploitation of the performance-improving features that the HTTP
protocol offers.
When you consider the importance of databases to web programming it
is surprising how little coverage is devoted to them in many books,
but "Practical mod_perl"'s database section bucks the trend by
containing a wealth of information. Along with the usual information
on how to access the database, connection pooling is covered, as is
using shared memory to avoid repeated accesses.
The final part of the book covers debugging, and in keeping
with the rest of the book it is detailed, comprehensive and well
organised. A variety of different techniques are discussed such that
pretty much every possible problem is covered, and in case all else
fails the section is concluded by some instructions on how to get help
from mod_perl's development community.
The book as a whole is focused and well written, and the authors'
knowledge of and passion about mod_perl is obvious. It's an excellent
read and will undoubtedly make an excellent reference afterwards;
O'Reilly have attempted to create the definitive book on mod_perl and
they have succeeded admirably.

Fluoride has substantial benefits in the prevention of tooth decay. Numerous studies, taken together, clearly establish a causal relationship between water fluoridation2 and the prevention of dental caries. While dental decay is reduced by fluoridated toothpaste and mouth rinses, professional fluoride treatments and fluoride dietary supplements, fluoridation of water is the most cost-effective method. It provides the greatest benefit to those who can least afford preventive and restorative dentistry and reduces dental disease, loss of teeth, time away from work or school, and anesthesia-related risks associated with dental treatment.
In the 1940's, children in communities with fluoridated drinking water had reductions in caries scores of about 60 percent as compared to those living in non-fluoridated communities. Recent studies still reveal that caries scores are lower in naturally or adjusted fluoridated areas; however, the differences in caries scores between fluoridated and non-fluoridated areas are not as great as those observed in the 1940's. This apparent change is likely explained by the presence, in non-fluoridated areas, of fluoride in beverages, food, dental products, and dietary supplements.
Fluoride has been used for nearly 30 years as an experimental therapy to treat osteoporosis, but has only recently been evaluated in controlled clinical trials. Two new U.S. clinical trials showed no significant reduction in the rates of bone fractures related to the administration of fluoride. An FDA advisory panel has concluded that fluoride therapy has not been shownto be effective in reducing the frequency of vertebral fractures.
Among the more significant health conditions evaluated in relation to fluoride intake are cancer, dental fluorosis, and bone fractures. Other conditions are evaluated in the full report.
Cancer.Two major scientific approaches have been used to determine whether an association exists between the use of fluoride and cancer: carcinogenicity studies in rodents, and human epidemiological analyses which compare cancer incidence and mortality between communities with fluoridated water and those with negligible amounts of fluoride in drinking water.
Five carcinogenicity studies in animals have been reported in the biomedical literature. Three studies, conducted before 1970 and interpreted as negative, had significant methodological limitations, as judged by current standards of experimental design. Two subsequent studies were conducted using current standards to evaluate the carcinogenicity of sodium fluoride in experimental animals.
One of the two carcinogenicity studies was conducted by the National Toxicology Program (NTP). This peer-reviewed study provided sodium fluoride in drinking water to rats and mice and determined the occurrence of tumor formation many different organ systems. The peer review panel concluded that, "Under the conditions of these 2-year dosed water studies, there was equivocal evidence of carcinogenic activity of sodium fluoride in male F344/N rats, based on the occurrence of a small number of osteosarcomas in dosed animals. There was no evidence of carcinogenic activity in female F344/N rats receiving sodium fluoride at concentrations of 25, 100, or 175 ppm (0, 11, 45, 79 ppm fluoride) in drinking water for 2 years. There was no evidence of carcinogenic activity of sodium fluoride in male or female mice receiving sodium fluoride at concentrations of 25, 100, or 175 ppm in drinking water for 2 years." The Ad Hoc Subcommittee on Fluoride concurs with this conclusion.
The other carcinogenicity study was sponsored by the Procter and Gamble Company using Cr:CD (Sprague-Dawley) rats and Crl:CD-1 (ICR) mice both treated with 0, 4, 10, or 25 milligrams/kilogram/day sodium fluoride added to a low fluoride-basal diet. A second control group received powdered rodent chow. There was no evidence of malignant tumors associated with sodium fluoride in mice and rats of either sex in the Procter and Gamble study. While there were two osteosarcomas in the low dose female rats, one osteosarcoma in a high dose male rat, and one fibroblastic sarcoma in a mid-dose male rat, these findings in treated animals were not statistically different from controls. Male and female mice in the study did have a statistically significant increase in benign bone tumors (osteomas). The significance of a Type C retrovirus, detected in the osteomas, remains to be determined. Osteomas and osteosarcomas are different in anatomical site and clinical course. The FDA also noted difficulty in assessing the dose-related aspects of the osteomas in mice (see page 75-6). Furthermore, osteomas and osteosarcomas are so rare normally in rodents that the relationship between these tumors cannot be accurately stated.
When the NTP and the Procter and Gamble studies are combined, a total of eight individual sex/species groups are available for analysis. Seven of these groups showed no significant evidence of malignant tumor formation. One of these groups, male rats from the NTP study, showed "equivocal" evidence of carcinogenicity, which is defined by NTP as a marginal increase in neoplasmsi.e., osteosarcomasthat may be chemically related. Taken together, the two animal studies available at this time fail to establish an association between fluoride and cancer.
There have been over 50 human epidemiology studies of the relationship between water fluoridation and cancer. Epidemiological studies of fluoride usually attempt to identify statistical associations between cancer rates and county- or city-wide patterns of water fluoridation. Expert panels which reviewed this international body of literature agree that there is no credible evidence of an association between either natural fluoride or adjusted fluoride in drinking water and human cancer (LARC, 1982; Knox, 1985). Interpretation of these studies is limited by the inability to measure individual fluoride exposures or to measure other individual predictors of cancer risk, such as smoking or occupational exposures.
In March of 1990, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) updated and expanded an earlier analysis of cancer deaths, by county in the United States, to determine whether there is or is not an association between cancer and fluoride in drinking water. The new studies evaluated an additional 16 years of cancer mortality data, and also examined patterns of cancer incidence between 1973 and 1987 in the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) Program cancer registries. SEER, an NCI sponsored network of population-based cancer incidence registries, started in 1973 and represents about 10 percent of the U.S. population. The SEER registries were used to obtain incidence data on all cancers, with special emphasis placed on trends in osteosarcoma. Because mortality data do not contain information on tumor-specific pathology, analysis of osteosarcomas is limited to the incidence data.
The NCI study identified no trends in cancer risk which could be attributed to the introduction of fluoride into drinking water. The study examined nationwide moronity data and incidence data from counties in Iowa and the Seattle, Washington, metropolitan area. There were no consistent differences in the trends in cancer mortality rates among males and females living in counties having initiated relative mortality rates from cancer, including cancer of the bones and joints, were similar after 20-35 years of fluoridation as they were in the years preceding fluoridation. In addition, there was no relationship between the introduction and duration of fluoridation and the patterns of cancer incidence rates, including those of the bone and joint, and the subset of osteosarcomas (Appendix E). For example, there were 91 observed cases of osteosarcoma in the fluoridated areas, when 93 cases were expected based on rates in non-fluoridated areas.
The NCI also conducted a more detailed evaluation of osteosarcomas using nationwide age-adjusted incidence data from the entire SEER database for the years 1973-1987 (Appendix F). Osteosarcoma is a rare form of bone cancer, the cause of which is under study. Approximately 750 newly diagnosed cases occur each year in the United States, representing about 0.1 percent of all reported cancers. Between two time periods, 1973-1980 and 1981-1987, there was an unexplained increase in the annual incidence rates of osteosarcoma in young males under age 20 from 3.6 cases per 1,000,000 people (88 registry cases) to 5.5 cases per 1,000,000 people (100 registry cases). This compares to a decrease in young females of the same age group from 3.8 cases per 1,000,000 people (87 registry cases) to 3.7 cases per 1,000,000 people (63 registry cases). The amount of increase observed in young males was greater in fluoridated than in non-fluoridated areas. Although the reason for the increase in young males remains to be clarified, an extensive analysis reveals that it is unrelated to the introduction and duration of fluoridation.
In studying rare cancers, such as osteosarcoma, small increases in risk, on the order of 5 to 10 percent, would not likely be detected. While descriptive epidemiological studies are useful in determining whether or not there is a credible association, the qualitative nature of any association, if one exists, can best be determined through more refined methods, such as case-control studies.
Dental Fluorosis.Dental fluorosis has been recognized since the turn of the century in people with high exposure to naturally occurring fluoride in drinking water. It has always been more prevalent in fluoridated than non-fluoridated areas. Dental fluorosis only occurs during tooth formation and becomes apparent upon eruption of the teeth. It ranges from very mild symmetrical whitish areas on teeth (very mild dental fluorosis) to pitting of the enamel, frequently associated with brownish discoloration (severe dental fluorosis). The very mild form barely is detectable even by experienced dental personnel. Moderate and severe forms of dental fluorosis, considered by some investigators as presenting a cosmetic problem, do not appear to produce adverse dental health effects, such as the loss of tooth function, and represents less than 6 percent of the cases of fluorosis nationally.
In the 1940's, about 10 percent of the population displayed very mild and mild dental fluorosis when the concentration of fluoride found naturally in the drinking water was about 1 part per million (ppm). Over the last 40 years, in areas where fluoride is added to the drinking water to bring the total level of fluoride to about 1 ppm (optimally fluoridated areas), there may have been an increase in the total prevalence of dental fluorosis. In non-fluoridated areas, there is clear evidence that the total prevalence of dental fluorosis has increased over the last 40 years.
The greater the fluoride exposure during tooth development, the greater the likelihood of dental fluorosis. In the 1940's and 1950's, the major sources of fluoride were from drinking water and food. Since then, numerous sources of fluoride have become available, including dental products containing fluoride (e.g., toothpastes and mouth rinses) and fluoride dietary supplements. The inappropriate use of these products can contribute significantly to total fluoride intake.
Increases in the prevalence of dental fluorosis in a population should be taken as evidence that fluoride exposure is increasing. Because dental fluorosis does not compromise oral health or tooth function, an increase in dental fluorosis, by itself, is not as much of a dental public health concern as it is an indication that total fluoride exposure may be more than necessary to prevent tooth decay. Prudent public health practice generally dictates using no more of a substance than the amount necessary to achieve a desired effect.
Bone Fractures.There is some suggestion from epidemiological studies that the incidence of certain bone fractures may be greater in some communities with either naturally high or adjusted fluoride levels. However, there are a number of confounding factors that need resolution to determine whether or not an association exists. Additionally, other studies do not show an increase in the incidence of bone fractures; one study provided evidence of a lower incidence of bone fractures in an optimally fluoridated community as compared to a similar community with trace levels of fluoride in the water. Therefore, further research is required.
1For other findings, see Other Effects section page 87 of the report.
2Fluoridated area means that drinking water supplied to that area contains fluoride at least at the optimal level (0.7-1.2 ppm depending on temperature) either naturally or by the water's having been adjusted to that level. Non-fluoridated area means that the drinking water does not contain fluoride at the optimal level. The level of fluoride naturally present in the non-fluoridated areas varies from study to study, but generally ranges from negligible levels to less than 0.3 ppm.

Looking down onto the famous dome of the 02 Arena with its spikes jutting out all over, it reminded me of those half grapefruits you used to get at parties in the 70s, covered in cocktail sticks – only someone's forgotten to add the pineapple, cheese and tiny pearl onions. I was gliding gently over the River Thames from the Royal Victoria Terminal in Docklands to the Greenwich Peninsula in the Emirates Air Line, London's only cable car.
Opened in time for the London Olympics 2012 it's a really fun way to travel – and also very cheap. If you use your Oyster Card you can cross for £3.20 and it's only £4.30 for a standard adult ticket. I'd been at the World Travel Market for three days and needed some fresh air – it gets very claustrophobic in the ExCel Centre and a friend suggested going on the Air Line. Ten minutes later I was boarding one of the red and white gondolas and being gently rocked out and up into the sky. The journey only takes about 10 minutes and from a height of 90 metres the views are glorious.
The zigzag roof of Excel Centre got smaller as we floated up, up and away. It's almost silent with just a swooshing hiss and the occasional Health & Safety briefing from a woman seemingly trapped inside the metal framework ... A sheet of sunlight flashed along the river illuminating the yachts, fishing boats, ferries and other craft on the Thames.
In the other direction St Paul's Cathedral stands out, protecting the City and the newly opened Shard thrusts its way towards the clouds. The white buildings of The Old Naval College Greenwich are laid out in graceful proportions below and the Olympic Park is a reminder of our summer of glory. Framed in silhouette behind the O2 Arena I could see the skyscrapers of Canary Wharf and somewhere in amongst them was the luxurious flat I was staying in. (I can highly recommend Central London Serviced Apartments – a really practical alternative to a hotel.) It's an amazingly uplifting sensation to see London's famous landmarks from this jaw-droppingly splendid perspective.
Passing gondolas going the opposite way, everyone was smiling, waving and taking photos of the wonderful 360 panorama. Each one can take up to 10 passengers, which could possibly feel a bit crowded. In mine there was just one Chinese tourist and an Italian visitor to the WTM and the three of us enjoyed the journey in quiet delight. As we slowly drifted down towards the Greenwich Terminal a disembodied voice thanked us for flying with Emirates and hoped we'd be joining them again. Most certainly – I had to get back and there was only one way I was going to travel. Now … where's the Duty Free shop? Did you know you can use your Oyster travel card on the London Cable Car?

The FDA has afforded us with an opportunity to open the always comfortable conversation of bladder incontinence; how very lovely of them. In all seriousness, the news released this week that the regulatory agency has approved the use of Botox for use of incontinence for people with MS (as well as for those spinal cord injuries and other neurologic conditions) may be just the news that many of our community would like to read about and discuss.
For many in the MS world, bladder leakage due to urgency/frequency is oft caused by an over-active (or sometimes, spastic) detrusor muscle around the bladder. When this muscle tightens on its own, it can cause us to pee without intent. If the detrusor stays ridged, it allows too little room for urine to be stored and — yep — more leakage.
As many of you likely know, Botox is a derivative of the botulism bacterium and causes temporary paralysis of muscle tissue and is oft used for cosmetic purposes. Think about all of those smooth, Hollywood foreheads we see; unable to wrinkle with expression, but boy aren't they smooth…
The drug works the same way on the bladder muscle (and several other muscles in non-cosmetic use of the treatment) keeping it from spasming or relaxing it all together… for up to 10 weeks.
The phase III study which convinced the FDA showed a reduction in leaking events by an average of 20 incidences per week!
The FDA did stipulate that the drug protocol is only intended for those who were unsuccessful with or intolerant of other, standard drug treatments for the condition.
As a person who has had urgency/frequency issues in the past, it's nice to know that there is another arrow in the quiver were I to need it in the future.
I seem to remember some folks talking about having had Botox injections for spastic muscles in legs or hands or something. Maybe those of you who have had said treatment could chime in and let us know about this stuff. Even those who may have used it for cosmetic reasons could tell us about the procedures…
Wishing you and your family the best of health.
Don't forget that you can also follow me via my Life With MS Facebook page and on Twitter.

The Oscars BFF
What if your best friend won an Oscar last year and was nominated for an Oscar this year and decided to take you?
For all the talk about how hard it is for celebrities to get tickets to the Oscars, Jennifer Lawrence apparently took all of them! Her parents, her boyfriend, and her BFF. Please. I would too. I would ask, beg, bargain for as many as possible.
Lawrence's best friend is Laura Simpson. She's the one who was rumoured to have been set up with Bradley Cooper last year but it didn't work out because of his foot fetish -- a bullsh-t story from INTOUCH, remember that?
Anyway, Simpson has posted an amazing account of her night as Lawrence's Oscar date, with details about all the other celebrities she encountered including Brad Pitt, who smells nice, and Bill Murray, who wanted to dance with her, OMG. That obviously made her life. But the rest of it, in her words, was "exhausting". Sort of. It's more the creative tone she's taken with this piece to illustrate what it's like to be the nobody standing beside the SOMEBODY, only she's a better writer than Lukas Haas.
I love that Lawrence was OK with her doing this. Not that she says anything controversial but still, this would not fly with many, many, many others. Lukas Haas, for example, could never. But Lawrence seems to understand not only the weirdness that has taken over life but also that of the people in her life. Holding your friends to a code of silence doesn't exactly alleviate how surreal it is to go from equal one day to a lowly satellite the next. They need a voice too…though I'm curious, do you think it had to be approved by Lawrence's publicist first?
You know what my favourite part is?
"…even Anne Hathaway"…
If you give Laura Simpson the benefit of the doubt, she's expressing herself exactly the way she wants to express herself. Which means she understands the meaning of her words and has deliberately chosen them to convey a specific message.
What, then, are we supposed to read in "even Anne Hathaway"?

SVP of Communications John Hanson:
The USO in Afghanistan, Part 2 (read Part 1 here)
In Afghanistan, the USO faced a challenge. We exist to serve the needs of troops – especially those at the tip of the spear. In past wars, it wasn't so hard. We could build USO centers at large and medium-sized bases and feel confident that we'd be there for most of the people serving in an area.
Afghanistan is different. Our center in Bagram – the Pat Tillman Memorial USO – is an outstanding facility, operating at capacity more than 20 hours each day, but not everybody goes through Bagram.
[caption id="attachment_236" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="A view from inside the Pat Tillman USO. (USO photo by Mike Theiler)"][/caption]
But, how can we get to the troops who are in the most isolated (and unforgiving) locations?
Of course, many of our entertainment tours visit large and small bases. If we can get the lift, we'll take performers to remote outposts. One of those performers is Toby Keith. Toby makes time available to the USO every year – usually just before summer – to spend more than a week in the war zone. He will do large shows at large bases, but he insists on visiting forward operating bases and combat outposts.
After one of his trips, Toby looked at the USO representative on the tour and said, "If I can go there, why can't the USO?"
So, we created what we call the USO in a Box. It's a transportable container that expands to about the size of a two-car garage. These units contain laptop computers, a projector for watching movies and video game consoles. They can connect to existing power, or they can on the power produced by a generator. Three of these centers are located around Afghanistan (and we just sent one to Djibouti). And, they can be moved, if the troops move.
They provide a touch of home and a place to relax after a difficult day.
Thanks, Toby, for the challenge and for encouraging us to do more.
You can help our heroes with the little things that will mean so much this year like a phone call home, comfort foods or a place to relax.

Senators Wyden, Paul, Merkley And McConnell Introduce Bipartisan Senate Companion Bill to H.R. 525
Why do I always say that Oregon is the best state when it comes to reform? Notice that not one, but TWO Oregon federal Senators are sponsoring the bill found in the press release from Vote Hemp below. Did I mention Oregon already has hemp legislation on the books in my home state?:
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Vote Hemp is pleased to announce that today Senators Ron Wyden (D-OR), Rand Paul (R-KY), Jeff Merkley (D-OR) and Mitch McConnell (R-KY) introduced a Senate companion bill to H.R. 525, the Industrial Hemp Farming Act of 2013, which was introduced last week in the House with a total of twenty-eight original co-sponsors. If passed, the bills would remove federal restrictions on the cultivation of industrial hemp, the non-drug oilseed and fiber varieties of Cannabis. The language of the bills is identical. The full text of the bills, their current status and a list of co-sponsors may be found at: http://votehemp.com/legislation.
"Unfortunately, there are some dumb regulations that are hurting economic growth and job creation, and the ban on growing industrial hemp is certainly among them," said Sen. Ron Wyden. "The opportunities for American farmers and businesses are obvious here. It's time to boost revenues for farmers and reduce the costs for the businesses around the country that use hemp."
The Senate companion bill was introduced following an important state Senate Agriculture Committee hearing in Kentucky where legislators are currently embroiled in a heated debate, as momentum grows to bring back hemp farming and processing in the state. Efforts by Kentucky Agriculture Commissioner James Comer, who recently reinstated the Kentucky Industrial Hemp Commission, have the support of Senators Paul and McConnell. After hearing the testimony of both law enforcement and supporters, including former CIA Director James Woolsey, Sen. Paul, and Representatives John Yarmuth (D-KY) and Thomas Massie (R-KY), the Committee voted 11-0 to recommend passage of the bill by the full Senate.
"I am convinced that allowing [hemp] production will be a positive development for Kentucky's farm families and economy," Sen. McConnell said in a statement. "The utilization of hemp to produce everything from clothing to paper is real, and if there is a capacity to center a new domestic industry in Kentucky that will create jobs in these difficult economic times, that sounds like a good thing to me."
H.R. 525 is the fifth time a bill has been introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives in support of industrial hemp farming since the federal government outlawed it in this country forty-three years ago. The bill was first introduced in 2005 by Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) in the House, and the current version already has the bipartisan support of eight Republicans and twenty-one Democrats. If passed, H.R. 525 and the Senate companion bill would remove federal restrictions on the cultivation of industrial hemp by defining it as distinct from "marihuana" and allowing its farming and processing in accordance with state law.
To date, thirty-one states have introduced pro-hemp legislation and nineteen have passed such legislation. Eight states (Colorado, Maine, Montana, North Dakota, Oregon, Vermont, Washington and West Virginia) have defined industrial hemp as distinct and removed barriers to its production. Three states (Hawaii, Kentucky and Maryland) have passed bills creating commissions or authorizing hemp research. Nine states (California, Colorado, Illinois, Montana, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Vermont and Virginia) have passed hemp resolutions. Six states (Arkansas, Maine, Minnesota, New Mexico, North Carolina and Vermont) have passed hemp study bills. However, despite state authorization to grow hemp, farmers in those states still risk raids by federal agents, prison time, and property and asset forfeiture if they plant the crop, due to the failure of federal policy to distinguish non-drug oilseed and fiber varieties of Cannabis (i.e., industrial hemp) from psychoactive drug varieties (i.e., "marihuana").
"We are very pleased to see action being taken in both the House and Senate, as well as in many state legislatures, on the issue of allowing American farmers to once again grow this versatile, sustainable, and profitable crop. American farmers are being denied the right to grow a crop that our Founding Fathers considered essential to our nation's well-being," says Eric Steenstra, President of Vote Hemp, the nation's leading single-issue advocacy group dedicated to re-commercializing industrial hemp. "It is imperative now that other Representatives and Senators co-sponsor these bills, and that President Obama and Attorney General Holder also issue waivers to allow American farmers to grow hemp under state law where legal. With the U.S. hemp industry valued at over $500 million in annual retail sales, and growing, a change in federal policy to once again allow hemp farming would mean instant job creation, among many other economic and environmental benefits," adds Steenstra.
U.S. companies that manufacture or sell products made with hemp include Dr. Bronner's Magic Soaps, a California company that manufactures the number-one-selling natural soap in the U.S., as well as best-selling hemp food manufacturers, such as Living Harvest, Manitoba Harvest, Nature's Path, Navitas, Nutiva and Sequel Naturals. All of these companies have no choice but to make their products from hemp grown in Canada or other countries. Sustainable hemp seed, fiber and oil are also used as raw materials by major companies, such as Ford Motors, Patagonia and The Body Shop, to make a wide variety of products.
Vote Hemp is a national, single-issue, nonprofit organization dedicated to the acceptance of and free market for industrial hemp, low-THC oilseed and fiber varieties of Cannabis, and to changes in current law to allow U.S. farmers to grow the crop. More information about hemp legislation and the crop's many uses may be found at www.VoteHemp.com or www.TheHIA.org.
