OXFORD, Ala. – Tennessee Tech runners established 10 new
career-best times Saturday as the Golden Eagles competed at the
2012 Ohio Valley Conference Cross Country Championships. The Tech
men placed seventh while the Golden Eagle women finished in
11th place.
Junior Rebecca Cline paced the Tech women, who wrote four new career-best times. In the men's race, the Tech leader was junior Matthew Bishop, who posted one of six career-best times.
Eastern Kentucky captured first in the women's race with 44
points, putting three runners in the top six. Belmont, which
boasted the individual winner in Maria Elbon, was second with 61
points, narrowly edging Eastern Illinois (64). Murray State (94)
and Southeast Missouri (149) rounded out the top five.
The balance of the standings included Morehead State (150), Austin Peay (211), Jacksonville State (233), SIU Edwardsville (239), UT Martin (256), Tennessee Tech (305) and Tennessee State (354).
Junior Rebecca Cline was Tech's top finisher, covering the 5K course in 19:18.00, just five seconds shy of her career-best for a 53rd place showing. Senior Beth Miller was a mere six seconds behind, setting a new career-best and placing 55th in the time of 19:24.46. Freshman Landry Loving also posted a career-best, finishing 63rd in 19:54.58, followed by junior Peri Winborne in 20:08.47.
Junior Amelia McCoy was Tech's fifth finisher in 20:40.64, followed by senior Kathryn Forbes in a career-best time of 20:45.07 and junior Meghan O'Donoghue in 20:49.23. Sophomore Kara Webb rounded out Tech's lineup, finishing in 20:55.66.
The EKU men posted a near-perfect score of 17 in winning their 8K race and another conference championship. Eastern Illinois was a distant second with 70 points, while Southeast Missouri (76) was third, Morehead State (102) fourth and Belmont (115) fifth.
SIU Edwardsville (208) placed sixth, while Tennessee Tech (213) came in one point better than Jacksonville State (214). UT Martin (250), Austin Peay (272), Murray State (289) and Tennessee State (366) completed the scoring.
Soufiane Bouchikhi of EKU was the individual winner, racing around the course in 24:01.75.
Golden Eagle junior Matthew Bishop led the way for coach Tony Cox's team, finishing 35th overall with a career-best effort of 26:19.43. Classmate Adam McLeod finished four places back in 39th, also recording a career-best time with a 26:24.56 showing.
Sophomore Sterling Smith placed 42nd, posting a time of 26:31.02 for the team's third career-best time of the race, while senior Mike Mahan was 45th in a career-best run of 26:39.73.
Finishing fifth on the team, senior Daniel Francis placed 52nd with a time of 26:58.38. Sophmore Charlie Jordan ran a time of 28:49.02 to place 68th, while senior Kolbe Andrzejewski was 70th in the time of 28:51.87. The final runner for Tech was sophomore Matt Pennycuff, who completed the run in 30:51.91. The times for Francis, Jordan and Andrzejewski were also career-best numbers.

About me
As a lover of the Great Outdoors I have developed the habit of taking photos of things that catch my eye. I'm no expert photographer and the equipment I use is very basic...cheap!
The aim is to try to capture the Irish countryside as it is, warts and all in the hope that people who have never been to Ireland will get a better understanding of how we live.
My name is Paddy and I live in Kildare Town within walking distance of the Curragh Racecourse, Irish National Stud and Japanese Gardens.

King Of The Hammers 2011 - The Happening At HammertownPosted in Events on June 1, 2011
Much of the year, Means Dry Lake is a lonely, quiet place that either bakes in the summer sun or silently shudders in winter's windy chill. Then there's King of the Hammers week, where Means Dry Lake's population jumps from zero to tens of thousands. Like prospectors swarming a new gold strike, off-roaders flocked to Means to be part of King of the Hammers. For a chilly week in February, Means Dry Lake became Hammertown, USA.
King of the Hammers started out as an underground invitation-only trail run. The concept was simple: to see who could run the Hammer Trails the fastest, as well as the open desert sections that separated them (the trails). The winning rig wouldn't be an old-school creepy-crawly rock buggy, and it definitely wouldn't be plucked from any traditional desert racing class. Instead, a successful KOH rig needed to combine the two disciplines into a package that was rock-tough and desert-fast.
KOH 2011 included a couple of firsts, and a significant second. Perhaps the biggest "first" was the christening of the main pit area as "Hammertown," an RV-and-tent city complete with signed streets. That shows just how big KOH has become. Even with the street signs, it was still easy to get lost in Hammertown, a place so extensive that it grew its own suburbs. The next big "first" was that the winning rig of Shannon Campbell didn't have a solid front axle. There were A-arms and CV joints leading the way. What's the big "second?" This is the second time Campbell has worn the KOH crown. After a couple of frustrating years, Campbell put together a run that bested second place by a big fat half-hour. Campbell may be King of the Hammers, but he's also Hammertown's first mayor. Nicely done! OR

Review: JSG cardigan by Yesstyle
I'm sure many of you already know the Yesstyle website, they sell a lot of asian fashions items and it's an authorized retailer of Shibuya 109 ( you can find tons of brands like JSG, GLAVIL, Me Jane, GOLDS infinity and GLAD NEWS) and they provide a wide range of refreshing Japanese designs for young woman. I got the amazing opportunity to choose an item from the the 109 section (my favorite in all the website!) so I picked a lovely striped cardigan from the brand JSG (lots of you surely remember the period this brand was really popular), I was always really curious to try a product from it! I got the parcel in around two weeks without problems, the custumer service is really great and it answers quickly every question, I recommend them for sure!
Hat h&m - Cardigan JSG - T-shirt gift - Shorts Tally Wejil - Shoes Cute to the core
The quality is really good, the material soft and it has lots of cute details, I really like the end of the dress with the black asymetric part, the metalic buttons are really cute and easy to close if you want to use it like a dress! I prefer to use it like a cardigan and it fits a lot of different styles. It's really flattering, I'm sure I'll wear it a lot during autumn!
The cardigan is available in white or pink for the amazing price of $26,50 (50% sales), don't miss the chance to get it for this great price! You can find a lot of different discounted items *_* for many different styles! Of course let me know if you like it and my outfit!

Walsh College in Troy, Michigan recently went through unusual lengths to earn its LEED Gold certification. The campus primarily hosts evening classes for mid-career professionals who commute to school after work, so the 37,000 square foot program called for a large parking lot to accommodate its students. In addition, the program required a LEED-certified building that would "make the business case" for sustainable design. Architects Valerio Dewalt Train responded to the challenging brief with an innovative approach that incorporates on-site rainwater recycling, energy-efficient lighting, and a high-performance building envelope.
The school's campus and parking lot feature a series of bioswales that facilitate on-site stormwater cleaning and storage, benefiting the natural wetlands located adjacent to the site which had previously been degraded. Special attention was paid to the building's thermal envelope, ensuring interior temperature stabilization, and other strategies such as daylight harvesting, energy optimization for night occupancy, and improved indoor air quality were maximized to ensure a LEED Gold status.
Walsh College has also placed exhibits throughout its new building showcasing these sustainable strategies to encourage their future business leaders to integrate sustainable approaches within their decision-making process.

Ahhh - Spring! All the singing birds and pretty flowers motivated me to brighten up my dining room with some happy Sis Boom fabrics!
First off, I recovered my dining room chairs with prints from Girlfriends and Poodle. The dinette came with the house, and the chairs were covered with a light peach velveteen that was no match for Louie. The recovery process was actually pretty painless. There were three screws in the bottom of the chair, and when I removed them the seat and back popped right out. The bottom and sides of the back cover are stitched, and the top is stapled. The bottom cover is just stretched and stapled on. I'm so happy to walk into the room and see paisleys and toiles rather than pizza stains and Elmer's glue blobs.
I also made a coordinating runner for the buffet using Poodle laminate.
Talk about a low-effort project. I just cut it to size with pinking shears. You could actually use regular scissors, as laminate does not fray.
This year's seedlings are doing really well. I'm staggering plantings in hopes of a more constant harvest rather than too many veggies all at once.
The perennial beds are weeded and ready for action. There are few bulbs up and blooming, but things will really get rocking in the next few weeks when the peonies and irises pop.
For now, we are really enjoying the daffodils.
(Get the Bosco Bowtie tutorial here for free!)
Not too much green on in the veggie bed yet, but there are lots of little seedlings up.
A family of bunnies moved into the neighborhood, so we are going to have to put up a little fence. In the meantime, we are protecting the pea seedlings with seltzer water bottle cloches. They seem very happy :) .

We've had a fair amount of time to play with the Radeon HD 5850 now, and let us begin by saying that this card packs a serious punch. Even at its factory defaults, the 5850 offers significant performance, but it's capable of so much more. To that end, follow along as we show you how to squeeze up to 25% additional performance out of your HD 5850.
As with all jobs, we need to begin by gathering the correct tools. While we can make a certain amount of progress with the Overdrive feature of the Catalyst Control Center, the imposed limits are nowhere near what the card is actually capable of achieving. To get around this problem, we're going to need some extra programs.
- AMD GPU Clock Tool: The AMD-approved overclocking utility which bypasses BIOS limitations.
- MSI Afterburner: Needed to control the card's fan speed.
- Furmark: Stress-testing application for your overclock.
- Unigine Heaven: DirectX 11 Benchmarking tool.
Test setup
Memory overclocking
The first thing you'll want to do is determine the quality of the RAM on your 5850. This can be a slightly tedious process, but it is worth doing this first, because the 5850's core clocks do not affect RAM stability. Therefore, whatever maximum stable setting your RAM achieves can be used later while experimenting with core clocks.
To begin, fire up Furmark and begin a stability test in a 1024×768 window; it doesn't matter if other applications are placed on top, but make sure that it is not minimized. Give Furmark a couple of minutes to get the card warmed up, and then open the AMD GPU Clock Tool. The stock VRAM speed on the 5850 is 1000MHz, and that is the setting you should see to begin with.
Most 5850s are capable of exceeding the overdrive limit set in the Catalyst drivers, so we suggest setting your memory clock to 1150MHz as your starting point. After you apply the setting, bring the Furmark window to the foreground, and allow the test to run uninterrupted for about 15 minutes. If at the end of 15 minutes the PC has not rebooted and the graphics driver has not thrown a VPU recovery, begin a process of gradually increasing the memory clock by 5-10MHz and testing after every increase.
If the driver undergoes a VPU recovery or the PC restarts, you have discovered the point at which the memory on your graphics card is unstable. Reduce the memory clock by 10MHz, and allow Furmark to test the setting for at least three hours. We recommend this test be run for at least six hours if you believe you have determined your final memory clock.
If the test fails after an extended period of time, reduce the memory clock by another 10MHz and re-run the stability test. At this point, your memory clock should be stable. Our Gigabyte HD 5850 demonstrated a maximum stable memory setting of 1175MHz.
Core overclocking
To begin overclocking the core, proceed as you did when you began testing memory clocks; fire up an instance of Furmark in 1024×768 window and allow it to warm the GPU. After several minutes, open the AMD GPU Clock Tool and reset your VRAM speed to final frequency determined in the previous section.
With the memory clock set, you can begin overclocking the GPU core. Start with a core frequency of 775MHz and let Furmark continue to run; during this time, it is a good idea to watch Furmark closely. If your core clock is too high, you will begin to see artifacts in Furmark's rendering.
When Furmark artifacts appear, reduce the core clockspeed by 5-10MHz and continue testing. Even if you reduce the core clock, there is a chance that the 5850 may not stop producing artifacts until the driver resets the card. If this happens, simply close the benchmark and wait for the graphics driver to perform a VPU recovery.
A Catalyst VPU recovery takes about 10 to 15 seconds, during which time you will likely either have a blank or very garbled screen. This is normal, and you shouldn't worry about it. Once the recovery has ended, decrease the core clock by 5-10MHz and resume testing with Furmark.
If, however, the card seems to be stable with a core clock 775MHz, begin increasing it in 5MHz increments. Keep a close eye on Furmark and watch for the first increase that produces visible artifacts. When you begin to notice artifacts in Furmark, immediately close the program and reduce your core clock speed by 10MHz. This frequency could be the final stable overclock.
To find out if the overclock is indeed stable, we suggest running Unigine Heaven in full-screen mode. Be aware that the Catalyst driver's VPU recovery mechanism may continue resetting your card's frequency during this time, even though your core is stable. To correct this problem if it occurs, set your 5850's core clockspeed to 725MHz, run Furmark's stability test for a few moments, and then set the core back to your current overclock.
We found that Unigine was much more likely to expose stability issues with the 5850's core than Furmark, so you may still need to perform further adjustments of the GPU clock. However, if the Heaven demo runs for several hours without issue, you have found your maximum core speed without over-volting the card. Those who are concerned about the lifespan of their GPU may wish to stop at this point.
Disclaimer: Increasing the voltage of your 5850 carries the risk of permanently damaging your video card. Though we would not suggest settings we ourselves have not run, continuing with this guide acknowledges you are aware of the risks. Icrontic is not responsible for your damaged hardware!
Our 5850's core was stable at 800MHz without any extra juice, but the 5850 is capable of more with a bump in voltage. During this process, you will use the MSI Afterburner tool to control the core voltage and fan speed of your 5850, and AMD GPU Clock Tool to set the clock speeds.
Please note that the AMD clock tool will reset the 5850's fan speeds when it applies new settings, so you will need to reconfigure the fan's RPMs in Afterburner whenever you change your clock speeds in the AMD tool.
Since both the 5850 and the 5870 use the same physical core, we felt a good starting point for our 5850 was the 5870's stock Vcore of 1.15V. To do this, open MSI Afterburner, click on the number next to the Core Voltage (mV) slider and enter 1150, then click apply.
Proceed again with the core overclocking process we outlined in the previous section. Move upwards by 5-10MHz at a time, and keep a close eye on Furmark for artifacts. Terminate Furmark and reduce the core's clock speed by 10MHz when artifacts appear, and then run Unigine Heaven for several hours.
If all goes well, and you do not experience any VPU recoveries, you have found your card's stable frequency at the 5870's stock voltage. Our HD5850 was stable up to 875MHz using 1.15V.
It is possible to gain further performance from the 5850, but this requires adjustment of the GPU's fan speeds. Fortunately, this is something MSI Afterburner lets us do very easily.
You can set the fan speed to a fixed level at the main screen, but you can also customize Afterburner to control the fan speed according to its own included temperature chart. To do this, click the settings button, and then open the fan tab. Tick the "Enable user defined software automatic fan control" box, and then set the graph to your liking.
We used a maximum setting of 56% at 86°C, as this figure strikes a good balance between noise and performance.
Once you have configured your manual fan speed settings, you're ready to try for another increase in your core clock speed. Gradually increase the core clock speed in 5MHz increments, and keep an eye on Furmark for artifacts. If you see any, give your 5850 a little bit of extra voltage not to exceed 1.25V.
During this process, it is important that you keep an eye on the temperature of your 5850. Furmark shows your card's current temperature, and MSI Afterburner's hardware monitor also has a graph for GPU temperature. We strongly suggest that you do not allow your 5850 to run above 85°C for an extended period of time.
If the card cannot be brought under 85C at a fan volume that's comfortable for you, back down the card's core clock until the temperature is under control. Once that is done, set the Heaven benchmark up for an extended run to verify stability. If the PC does not crash or the Catalyst drivers do not undergo VPU recovery, you've discovered your final clockspeed.
Our HD5850's core produced a maximum stable speed of 925MHz using 1.225V. At this setting, the fan needed to be run at 65% duty cycle to keep the card below 85°C. While noisy, we found that the setting was reasonable enough for gaming use.
BIOS modding
Warning: This section is for advanced users only. Modifying or changing the BIOS of your HD5850 may result in an unusable or "bricked" card. We do not recommend attempting a BIOS mod unless you own a separate graphics card and your PC has two x16 slots, or your PC has onboard video that can be activated while a discrete card is present. Any BIOS modifications you implement are done at your own risk.
Overclocking the 5850 can squeeze considerable extra performance from the card, but the need for two programs to handle overclocking is pretty clumsy. Thankfully, flashing a new BIOS will allow you to control the card entirely from the MSI Afterburner application.
In order to flash your 5850's BIOS, you're going to need a way to boot into true DOS (a bootable floppy or flash drive) and the ATI BIOS flash tool. If you want to make any changes to the BIOS you're going to flash, you will also need the Radeon BIOS Editor. Lastly, you'll need the modified MSI BIOS which sets the overdrive limits to 1500 core/2250 memory.
You may have noticed that we used an MSI BIOS on our Gigabyte card. This is because the first generation of Radeon 5000 series products were produced exclusively by AMD, and later rebranded by various vendors like Sapphire, XFX and Gigabyte. This means that all boards, regardless of the brand, are compatible with same BIOS.
How to flash
- Save the new BIOS file and the atiflash executable on your DOS boot media.
- Restart your PC and boot into DOS mode.
- Back up your original BIOS by issuing the following command: atiflash.exe -s default.rom
- Note: It would be a good idea to copy this BIOS file to another location. Backups are important.
- Flash the 5850's BIOS with the following command: atiflash.exe -fs -p yournewbios.rom
- Replace yournewbios.rom with the file name of the BIOS you downloaded. If you did not change the name of the file, it will be "MSI_R5~1.A11."
- Reboot back into Windows once the flashing process has completed.
If the new BIOS was flashed successfully, you can now control the clock speed of your card within MSI Afterburner. We ended up making heavy use of Afterburner for its ability to save and recall overclocking profiles in one click.
We benchmarked our 5850 at all the speeds and voltages we suggested throughout this article. For reference, we compared the 5850 to a BFG GeForce GTX 285 OC at both stock and maximum stable overclocked frequencies.
For reference, the benchmarks refer to the following voltage/frequency settings:
- HD 5850 (Stock) = 725MHz Core / 1000MHz RAM
- HD 5850 (OC) = 800MHz Core / 1175MHz RAM
- HD 5850 (OC+1.15V) = 875MHz Core / 1175MHz RAM
- HD 5850 (OC+1.225V) = 925MHz Core / 1175MHz RAM
- GTX 285 (Stock) = 666MHz Core / 1512MHz Shaders / 1242MHz RAM
- GTX 285 (OC) = 692MHz Core / 1512MHz Shaders / 1332MHz RAM
We ran 3DMark Vantage with PhysX acceleration enabled and disabled to show the difference it could make. The results for the GTX 285 with PhysX disabled are valid for any game which does not use PhysX acceleration, and the results with PhysX enabled are valid for games which do make use of PhysX (Batman: Arkham Asylum, for example).
Even when overclocked, our HD5850 is clearly not as capable as our GTX 285 in applications written to use OpenGL. In games such as Doom 3, the GTX 285 definitely has the edge.
Our 5850 shows a very clear increase in DirectX 11 performance when it is overclocked. No scores were recorded for the GTX 285 as it is limited to DirectX 10; this rendering mode greatly reduces Heaven's scene detail, allowing the 285 to process the benchmark more quickly, thereby skewing the results.
Our Far Cry 2 testing shows an interesting discrepancy in the 5850's numbers. The average and minimum frame rates both increase as the card is overclocked, but the maximum frame rate recorded the highest number at stock speed.
With an average overclocked frame rate of about 35 frames per second, the 5850 answers the age-old "can it run Crysis?" question with a yes. Our GTX 285's average of 23 is below the playable threshold of 30 FPS.
Final thoughts
Overclocking the Radeon HD 5850 is a fairly simple process: Juggle the core frequency and voltage with utilities from AMD and MSI, then test with Furmark and Heaven. Finding the right combination of core and memory frequencies with this process shouldn't take more than a day, and the benchmarks clearly indicate that the effort is worth it.
In all, the Radeon HD 5850 offers tremendous value for the dollar. It is less expensive than inferior boards from NVIDIA, and it offers overclocking headroom that can push it into Radeon HD 5870 territory. Based on these merits, we can confidently say that the 5850 is the market's reigning price/performance champion.
You can purchase the Radeon 5850 through our affiliate, Newegg.com, as well as at other online stores or retail shops.

LAS CRUCES - Drip irrigation to conserve water, improve nutrient uptake and control pests will be a central focus of the Southwest Vegetable Conference March 15 at the Hilton Las Cruces.
The conference, organized by New Mexico State University, is an expansion of the New Mexico Onion Conference that NMSU holds every two years, said Stephanie Walker, vegetable specialist with NMSU's Cooperative Extension Service.
"Onion growers generally plant other vegetables to diversify income, such as melons, chile, pumpkins and lettuce," Walker said. "We expanded the conference this year to provide information about those crops and to allow farmers who don't grow onions to participate."
Given the similarities in growing conditions and challenges throughout the Southwest, NMSU expects the expanded agenda to attract people from surrounding states, Walker said. The workshops will include speakers from Arizona and California.
Onions will still take center stage, given their importance to local growers. New Mexico supplies more than half the nation's fresh market onions during summer months, thanks to NMSU's breeding program. NMSU has developed about two dozen varieties since 1983, many with staggered maturity dates that allow growers to stretch the season from late May through August, when supplies in other states tend to drop.
New Mexico growers harvested 7,100 acres of onions worth about $44 million in 2004, the last year for which New Mexico Department of Agriculture statistics are available.
The conference will highlight drip irrigation for vegetables. Tim Hartz of the University of California at Davis will discuss irrigation scheduling and nutrient management with drip systems. Jeff Silvertooth and John Palumbo of the University of Arizona will discuss proper use of drip systems with cantaloupes and insect management under drip irrigation, respectively.
Other workshops will cover sweet onion varieties and management techniques to improve quality, methods to control diseases affecting vegetables such as curly top and iris yellow spot virus, ways to prolong the shelf life of lettuce, new NMDA marketing programs, and the potential effects of agri-terrorism in the U.S. A trade show with some 30 companies will showcase drip irrigation systems, fertilizers, seed, tools and machines.
The conference runs from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and costs $75. For more information, or if you are an individual with a disability who is in need of an auxiliary aid or service to participate, call Walker at (505) 646-4398 or Mary Curtis at (505) 646-1715.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The National Football League is considering toughening the penalties for domestic violence in the wake of the uproar created by the two-game ban handed to Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice, the Washington Post reported Thursday.
The new policy, if implemented, could establish guidelines for a suspension of four to six games without pay for a first offense and potentially a season-long suspension for a second incident, multiple sources told the newspaper.
Rice allegedly knocked his then-fiancee, Janay Palmer, unconscious in February, and the NFL was widely criticized for what was seen as a light sanction handed down to the three-time Pro Bowl running back.
"We need to have stricter penalties," a person with knowledge of the league's deliberations told the Post. "I think you will see that. I believe the commissioner and others would like to see stricter penalties. We need to be more vigilant."
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello declined to comment on the specifics of the Post story in an e-mail to Reuters, but added, "We are always looking to evolve and improve our policies and programs on all issues."
Rice, who is now married to Palmer, pleaded not guilty to a third-degree charge of aggravated assault and avoided trial by being accepted into an intervention program in May.

ZumaPhoto is a collective of three highly experienced photographers with three distinct styles and one shared passion for telling stories. Specifically, stories about relationships. Sure we make cool/edgy/hip images, but we feel that a photo can and should do something more than just record what you look like - it should say something about who you are. To do this, we look for natural, dynamic, and genuine moments that happen of their own accord. Sometimes this means a purely photojournalistic approach, and other times a more interactive and playful session to find the best you there is! Whatever the approach, the one thing that we will never do is to contort you into cheezy poses or turn you into something that you are not. We are looking for those moments when you reveal who you really are.

Pork & Ginger Dumplings
2 cups napa cabbage, chopped
1/2 pound ground pork
2 tablespoons thin soy sauce
3 tablespoons black sesame oil
2 tablespoons minced ginger
1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 egg
1 cup vegetable stock
Sprinkle cabbage with 1/2 tablespoon of salt and let stand for 30 minutes. Using a towel, squeeze out excess water. In a large bowl thoroughly mix the cabbage with the pork, ginger, sesame oil, egg, soy sauce and garlic. Place a small teaspoon of filling in the middle of the wrapper Fold the wrapper in half to form a half moon shape, pinching the wrapper tightly together. Make sure no filling is peaking out or they will break while cooking. Heat oil in a large saucepan, place pot stickers flat side down and cook until the bottom is browned. Add 1 cup of stock, cover immediately. Allow dumplings to steam. Once the dumplings are fully cooked the stock will evaporate and the bottoms will be crisp. Excellent with my favorite dipping sauce.
My thoughts:
Dumplings are time consuming but tasty. This recipe made about 45 dumplings but if you buy refrigerated dumplings you could freeze any extra you might have.

This is where I sound like a complete moron. Where do I find these "wrappers" you talk about?ReplyDelete
And...what is the nutritional info in these dumpings? Are they extra bad for you?h
Wonton wrappers can be found in the refrigerated section of most grocery stores, normally near produce or tofu. As for healthy, ground pork is low fat as are the wrappers.ReplyDelete
found your blog recently and love it!
One question, though - you list 1 egg in the ingredients - would it be as a binder for the filling, or you use it as a "glue" to keep the dumplings from opening up?
Thank you!
(I loooove dumplings!)
Sally: it is in the filling.ReplyDelete
Sorry, I must have read it too quickly and did not catch the inclusion of the eggReplyDelete
I will be making this really soon!
Thank you for visiting Coconut & Lime! I read and appreciate each one of your comments.

Ground-fault sensor
This ground-fault sensing module functions interdependently with a magnetic branch-circuit breaker. The module monitors the electrical circuit with an external differential current transformer. With the company's GFCI solution, no direct load is present at the module. In the event of a ground fault, the load is interrupted via the hydraulic magnetic circuit breaker using a shunt trip coil. Available with an automatic or manual "safe-start" reset feature, the units are rated from 1A to 15A. When mounted with the supplied gasket, the enclosure achieves a UL NEMA 4X rating.
Circle 301
Circuit breakers
Series G high-performance molded-case circuit breakers can safely interrupt up to 200,000 asymmetrical interrupting capacities at 480VAC. According to the company, the circuit breakers were designed, tested, and UL-approved as current limiting. Using reverse loop technology, the contact arms are forced apart with magnetic repulsion during fault conditions. The reverse loop also increases the speed at which the contacts open and interrupt current flow when fault current is present. In addition, the devices are reusable after clearing an electrical fault.
Circle 302
Datacom surge protectors
The STC series of data/signal line surge protection devices prevents transient voltages from interrupting data streams or damaging vulnerable electronic equipment. Using multi-stage hybrid circuitry based on gas tubes, silicon avalanche components, and resettable PTC fuses, the devices address overvoltage transients to provide high-speed, high-energy protection to network signal lines entering or leaving control panels.
Circle 303
Surge protector
The Strikesorb surge protection device (SPD) features a monolithic metal-oxide varistor (MOV) design that eliminates thermal disconnect mechanisms. The SPD can be directly connected to main power lines or via the bus bars after the main circuit breaker. UL-recognized, the product is offered in two versions: the 40mm module, rated at 140kA, and the 80mm module, rated at 200kA, according to NEMA LS-1. In addition, the product is offered at ratings to fit various applications, including operating voltages of 120V up to 600V.

I have often pondered this question, how to promote midwifery.
Although midwifery is my livelihood, promotion of midwifery goes way beyond making a living and paying the bills.
I have used colours and fonts that are consistent with the official Medicare signage and posters. (unfortunately the quality of my printer's colours atm is not very good) The colours and font should elicit a recognition response from the general community. The fact that a midwife can offer Medicare rebates will be 'NEWS' to many in the community.
The key message is: "protecting the wellbeing of mother and child". This is foundational to midwifery, and to the provision of expert primary maternity services in communities.
Another new initiative on my part is to start up a facebook group, which I have named 'villagemidwife'. I do not particularly enjoy facebook, and its reliance on thumbs up 'like' votes about anything that is posted. However, I am conscious that facebook is the social medium used by many young women of childbearing age, and therefore important.
For the record, other facebook professional groups that I belong to are:
breech birth ANZ
eligible midwives
graduate certificate of midwifery at Flinders
Australian College of Midwives
Thankyou for your comments.

Dear Joy
'Primary Maternity Care" in NZ means birth at home or in Birth Centrewith the midwife of your choice.
Please explain what the term means in Australia today?
Thank you

Hello Denise.
My use of the word 'primary' in "the provision of expert primary maternity services in communities" simply refers to basic maternity care through the pregnancy, birth, and postnatal continuum - which is within the scope of any midwife.
By comparison, 'specialist' maternity services are more complex and are provided by teams of doctors, midwives, nurses, and others.

TRENTON, N.J. — New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie agreed Friday to give chronically ill children easier access to medical marijuana, but he was unwilling to go as far as state lawmakers wanted.
The Republican governor conditionally vetoed a bill on the topic.
He said he agreed with provisions that would allow production of ingestible forms of pot at state-approved dispensaries and to allow dispensaries to grow more than three strains of the drug, but he struck a part of the bill that would have dropped a requirement that a psychiatrist and pediatrician sign off before children are allowed medical marijuana.
The bill now goes back to the Legislature. If lawmakers make the changes Christie requested, it will become law. It was not immediately clear when lawmakers may take it up, but the state Senate does have a voting session scheduled for Monday.
Like the 19 other states that allow medical marijuana, New Jersey lets children use it. But unlike all but a few, the state law and regulations currently in place — considered perhaps the most stringent among states that allow medical pot at all — have additional hurdles for young patients.
They must have a pediatrician and psychiatrist sign off on their use. And if one of those doctors is not registered with the state medicinal cannabis program, they would need a third physician to recommend the drug.
The bill to ease access sparked a new round of debate between Christie and medical marijuana advocates, many of whom doubt that he wants the state's fledgling pot-for-patients program to succeed.
It attracted broader attention this week when parent John Wilson confronted the governor during a campaign stop in a diner. Wilson believes his 2-year-old daughter, Vivian, would benefit by using a certain form and strain of pot for Dravet syndrome, a rare and sometimes deadly form of epilepsy.
In a moment captured on video that made news shows and websites, Wilson told the governor, "Please don't let my daughter die."
Christie, who has raised concerns that it could be adults using pot recommended for their children, told him, "I know you think it's simple, but it's not," during their brief exchange.
Wilson and his wife, Meghan, who live in Scotch Plains, said in a statement Friday that they are disappointed Christie "decided to make it so difficult for parents, who are already enduring tremendous pain and heartache, to get approval for such a safe and simple medication."
They said it's not fair that other drugs can be prescribed for children without additional doctors signing off.
The changes Christie is willing to make could enable children like Vivian to get the form and strain of pot that could help them by lifting limits on how many strains of marijuana dispensaries can grow and by allowing ingestible forms that kids could take without smoking.
Currently, New Jersey allows dispensaries to grown only three strains of pot, and that has made it unlikely that the kind Vivian's family says she needs will be made available. John Wilson said other children with Dravet have benefited from a form high in a compound known as CBD and low in THC, the chemical that gets pot users high. Wilson said the drug can work not only to relieve pain or build up an appetite — two things medical pot is often used for — but as a medicine to treat Dravet.
New Hampshire, Delaware and Illinois have multiple-doctor requirements for kids to get pot, said Chris Goldstein, a marijuana activist who is on the board of the Coalition for Medical Marijuana of New Jersey.
"This is something that originated in New Jersey and is likely to be copied in other states," he said.
New Jersey now has just one operating legal dispensary with a second expected to open in September.

Only Sometimes
Perhaps I'm only kidding myself, but I think I look gayer some days more than others. That is, sometimes, I think I do a better job of hiding it. Like when I'm unshaven for a week, wear clothing that would look appropriately masculine on any male, and put a cap on my head. Then, maybe, I might just pass as straight. Like I said, maybe.
Sometimes, I just don't want to look gay. I've attracted enough attention to myself over the years. Now that I'm in my mid-fifties, all I want to do is get from point A to point B without anyone noticing me. All I want to do is go about my business, just like everyone else, not have to face the looks I get from some people, and be reminded of the way I'm different.
Take today for example. I shaved this morning, and my hair turned out a little swoopier in front than I would have liked.
Before I left to go to Save-On Foods, to pick up a few groceries, I looked in the bathroom mirror. Gay. I looked gay. I saw it, and I knew some people who saw me would too. Should I hide under a cap, cover my swoopy bangs? Or should I say, "Fuck it, they can think whatever they like; they're no better than me"?
I decided to go cap-less. I also wore a pair of khaki walking shorts, a navy blue "Grouse Grind" T-shirt, and running shoes. At least I thought my attire worked for me.
So there I was, walking through Save-On Foods, toward the self-checkout, and I passed a man, obviously straight. Taller than me and about as grey-haired, he looked grubby, like he'd just gotten off work. I saw him take a glance at me.
And, in that instant, the look that crossed his face was the one I've seen countless times over the years–the very one I needed most to avoid today. In that instant, I saw him judge me, make an assumption about me, right or wrong, saying what he thought of me without uttering a single word.
For all the advances gay people in general have made over the decades, there are still those who will always disapprove of us, no matter what. They don't have to say what they think about me to my face. I'm not stupid. Their expressions say it for them.
Most of the time, I can shrug it all off, tell myself that whatever he thinks about me is his problem, not mine. Most of the time, I feel positive enough about myself to make that choice, to feel impermeable to the judgments of others.
But not today. I was out of sorts. Something was bugging me, and I didn't know what. All I knew was, I didn't feel like myself. So those looks I'm used to getting, that I've learned to shrug off…well, they're difficult to take sometimes.
Honestly, I don't think I should have to take them–ever. Because I don't think I should ever have to receive them. I don't deserve them. I don't think anyone has the right to look at me the way he–and it's always a he–did.
This is my appearance. I have no choice about that. Like it or not, it's how I present myself to the world. And I'm sorry I can't look the way you'd like me to (although, admittedly, I sometimes try). I'm sorry the gay person I put out there offends your sensibilities. I'm sorry you have to know I'm here when you look into my face, when you see what I wear, when you watch me walk, when you listen to me talk.
But, most of all, I'm sorry you have the opinion you do of gay people. Because, if you got to know me, you'd find I'm not so bad, after all. Actually, I'm a lot like you. I'm in a long-term relationship, I love my partner very much, I live a settled life. And I struggle with getting older, and fulfilling my purpose, and making a difference, just like you do.
So what do you gain by looking at me that way? Does it somehow make you feel superior to me? Do you see yourself as being right, and me as being wrong? Do you wonder why people like me can't just go away, so you don't have to look at us, so you don't have to deal with us, so you don't have to be reminded we're here? And so your children don't have to look at us, they don't have to be exposed to us, and they don't learn people like us exist?
I'm okay with being gay. Or, at least, I've learned to be okay with it, because it's what I am, and what I will always be, and what choice do I have? I just wish I didn't have to look like me…sometimes.
Okay, all the time. Because I'm tried of being judged. And because I never know when I'll be made to feel like I did all those years ago, when I hated myself, when I wished I was anywhere but here.

You are very sweet, Wendy. I could have used a hug.Delete
Thank you for your kindness. I appreciate it.

Dear RickReplyDelete
I want to say a few things to you. First of all, as you know, I'm straight. I believe that we're all on this planet for a purpose and that if we're living an honest, caring, unselfish, respectable life then we have nothing to be sorry for. And we certainly do not need to be sorry for the thoughtlessness of others.
I will be 55 years old next year. I remember, in my younger years, having very few friends because I was fat. I lost weight in my early 20's through diet and LOTS of excercise (4 hours a day) and people I knew who wanted nothing to do with me when I was fat now wanted to be my friend. I refused their friendship. I didn't need it. Today, I'm considered fat. Does that make me any less a person than one who is thin? than one who is tall? than one who is gay? Deffinitely not!
You, my friend, have no need to appologize for who you are and you certainly do not need to appologize for the ignorance of others.
You will always look like you. It's just a fact of life. And if the gay person you are offends anyones sensibilities then so be it. Don't appologize for being who you are. Be the best you can be and to hell with everyone else. Their opinions don't matter a hill of beans in the whole scheme of things.
I understand how you felt that day, but I also know that if we allow what we perceive to be the judgment of others to cloud our own lives we will always and forever be at the mercy of those who are of little or no consequence to us and that is no way to live.
Lift you head high Rick. You have much to be proud of and grateful for. Those who matter, who truly love the person you are will always be there for you and will truly appreciate the unique and special individual you are.
Hugs & much love
Loretta, I'm deeply touched by your comment. You didn't have to offer it, particularly revealing so much about yourself, which I realize must have been difficult for you (both to live and to write). You have no idea how much I appreciate your kind words.Delete
It's not often I feel the way I did on this particular day. Hence, the title of the post. Plus, as I wrote, I was vulnerable, weakened, the day it happened. All of us experience occasions like that. For some reason, we find ourselves more susceptible to the thoughtlessness of others.
I knew, when I wrote "I'm sorry" for being me, that I didn't really feel that way, and I might hear from sensitive readers who'd feel I had no reason to apologize. I'm not sure I meant to apologize at all; perhaps I should have used the words "So what" instead. But, like I said, I wasn't myself.
I'd like to think how far I've come over the decades, in terms of how I feel about myself, is reflected in everything I've written here. I know you understand how difficult it is to come to terms with who you are, even to love that person.
But, sometimes, all of us have lapses. And that's why, after careful consideration, and knowing this post wouldn't reflect how I feel about myself most of the time, I thought it was important to publish it, so readers knew lapses happen. They are very human thing.
That said, I've taken what you wrote to heart, and it will stay with me. I know the next time I find myself in the position I was on that day, I'll recall your compassionate, heartfelt words, and they will help to guide me and put what's happening into perspective.
Once again, Loretta, thank you. You are an amazing and generous human being and friend, and I truly appreciate your kindness.

AMD A8-3850 Llano Desktop Processor Review - Can AMD compete with Sandy Bridge?
The ASRock A75 BIOS and Overclocking Llano
Inside our First Llano BIOS
The good news about the AMD A-series platform launch is that it gives all the motherboard vendors an excuse to introduce UEFI for AMD. The ASRock board we were shipped for this review did in fact have a UEFI implementation on it and it seems relatively flexible. The only thing I saw missing right away were controls for overclocking the HD 6550D graphics.
Overclocking is done via a multiplier or a base bus speed: our defaults were 29x and 100 MHz. But, since all of the Llano APUs are expected to have locked CPU multipliers (you can still lower them though), you are limited to overclocking the system via the system bus and memory multipliers. Interestingly, overclocking the base clock not only pushes your CPU frequency and memory frequency (as we are used to) but also your GPU and north bridge frequency. So a base clock move from 100 MHz to 120 MHz would result in a CPU speed of 3.48 GHz and a GPU speed of 720 MHz.
You can adjust how much memory the HD 6550D is given for its work though it defaults to 256MB. I did try running some tests at 512MB and saw basically no performance improvements so the 256MB settings seems like the optimal one.
There are controls for the USB 2.0 and 3.0 controllers here.
System monitor and fan controls...
There plenty of voltage adjustments including those for DRAM, the CPU and the CPU north bridge functions. We were able to keep our DDR3 memory from Corsair at 1.65v for all of our testing without an issue.
Overclocking the AMD A-3850 APU
So the basics of overclocking Llano are pretty basic then: everything flows from the reference clock that defaults to 100 MHz. You can lower the CPU multiplier while pushing reference clock higher if you want to only overclock the memory and the GPU, or you can push the whole system at once if you would like.
AMD did give us this warning though: "Note that SATA and / or USB may run out of spec and you might see HDD detection issues etc if you push too far! This might vary between motherboard designs and some may be able to "lock" the SATA/USB clocks or use additional dividers. We have seen reports of 133MHz and even 148MHz ref. clock overclocking. This suggests that some boards likely have a divider that kicks in at 133MHz (i.e. 120MHz would likely fail but 133MHz might again work as the SATA/USB clocks return to safe values)."
What was I able to get out of the A8-3850 in my time with it?
Pretty surprisingly I was able to get a base clock of 130 MHz by pushing the CPU voltage up about 0.2v (be careful here!) and run stable. That gave us a CPU clock rate of 3.76 GHz and a GPU clock rate of 780 MHz. That isn't too bad for our first attempt with only a little trial and error!
We will be playing with these systems and different motherboards very soon to get more acquainted with the system and really push Llano to its limits.
That load power consumption doesn't look too good. Given that the GPU isn't active in a CPU-only test, one would have hoped that the power consumption doesn't approach the 100W TDP. That raises questions about Glofo's 32nm process.
i digg on them big booty hoe's with them daisy dukes on
Interesting take...
Considering how little of a CPU the average user uses these days, integrating a CPU into a primarily GPU was a good choice. I would really like to see what the retailers(dell, HP, apple?) do with this chip. Especially if we see some sort of media powerhouse 1 chip Micro-ATX configurations. Right now that kind of field is dominated with some of the Atom type systems which are really lacking in the ability to handle media, if we see price drops in the llano line then it could push atom out of the super-compact media lineup.
Alternatively if it is adapted for mobile processors it could be a cheap solution to integrating discreet graphics on a full size laptop, however that 150W under load would eat a battery in no time.
Actually Llano for the mobile market was launched a couple weeks ago and is already showing up for sale.
Saying this over half a year later, I can confirm this is all true. The atom is currently being destroyed, and apple is rumored to be adopting APUs.
AMD is using outdated production process in it's chipsets (65nm) that in part adds to power consumption.
The bulldozer chipset is 65nm.
Eh, that really is not an issue. The problem with going to a smaller process with these chipsets is really how many transistors they have and need. Now that we are seeing most of the northbridge functionality on CPUs, there is no real reason to shrink chipset logic. The problem that we start seeing is that these are already small chips, and if we shrink anymore without adding a bunch of extra features (and therefore transistor count), then we run into the problem of having enough pad space on the die for the substrate and pinouts. These chips also do not eat a whole lot of power at this time. Maybe 7 watts at max with two chips? It was different with the 790GX/890GX chips, as they were in the 15 watt range. But with the 990FX and SB950 both consuming between 5 and 7 watts combined... not a huge issue for a desktop application.
Read a litle and then write!!!! Both Llano and bulldozer are 32nm like sandy bridge.
I like the new APU and i want it in some new Del laptops. Please keep a eye on this thanks. I dont like to over spend on any PC for it doing a basic job. thats watching vidio surfing and listting to audio and NO incodeing at all. yet i want to watch UTube and vidio content. I dont want any stutter and good audio. 6 ours batry life is fine 8 would be awsome. It has to have USB 3 ports + Thunderbolt. I think Thunderbalt is dead in the water if you have to buy the lead for 50$ too.
Why is every reviewer using DDR3 1333Mhz RAM? This review is useless as a result. Llano is very memory bandwidth capped.
Hillarious. So many out of touch. Four cores to do meaneal tasks with actual GFX performance and power consumption that equalls the best. AMD will eat the competition despite reviewers being so removed from the reality of what box stores sales are comprised of. Of course Intel will just use its uber billions to advertise your need for "Intel" in the box, and discount its low end to compete.
Reviewers need to stop focusing on CPU performance when it comes to certain market segments. I have 10+ imidiate family members who could never figure out how to stress a modern CPU if they were offered $$$. But they get pissed in a second when they have crap multimedia. I have yet to hear anyone ever complain that their off the shelf just couldn't keep up with Office for them.
We are all past minimum performance being an issue. Get over it. This new AMD tech struggles in no area, yet the competition has constant issues with price or GFX capability in comparison.
It is an interesting point of view here. Though I disagree with the statement of "who could never figure out how to stress a modern CPU".
If you actually read the review you will see a lot of testing done on the graphics side of things with faster memory settings than 1333 MHz.
As for the CPU processing side of things, memory bandwidth makes a noticeable difference in very very few cases.
Quote by reviewer: AMD Dual Graphics is a technology that I think has potential but lacks in some areas that I thought it needed to excel in. The fact that it doesn't support DX9 games completely confounds me and the response from AMD was built around the idea of "time commitments and value propositions." I don't see how DX9 titles, which are still FAR AND AWAY the majority of games out there right now, could not be worth the investment for gaming on the APU.
This is laughable, could not be worth investment for gaming on the APU? The I3 I5 or I7 with HD3000 CAN NOT play the DX9 games, the frame rates are to low. Not only that the image quality is less than video cards from 5 years ago. So which company is lacking an investment on DX9 games? Yes it would be nice to see dual graphics work on DX9 games but the fact is the AMD 6650D IGPU can play them just fine without dual graphics. Maybe you should also note that the HD3000/2000 do not support DX11.
Actually, we mention a few times that only the AMD APU can handle DX11 gaming. But the issue is, DX11 titles are going to be most often run at DX9/10 settings on these performance levels of GPUs.
This review is lacking. Want to talk about gaming performance, how about a Pentium G620 + $60 discrete graphics?
That is indeed a good combination there - we just didn't have a chance to test ALL the combinations we wanted too. Soon!
In this video from AMD:
They were showing how their chip kept plugging away while the mobile i7 ground to a halt due to ineffective multitasking ability.
Does this make any difference in real-world situations? I don't know.
Ryan, have you tried this same test, i.e. comparing the llano when asked to run multiple tasks vs. the Intel i series chips? Just curious if this really is the case, or marketing hype!
So if you take out the GPU-based gaming from that workload demonstration I think you will find WILDLY different results comparing Sandy Bridge to Llano.
How well does this multi task though?
While I don't do it, I know several "non gamer" types in my family who like listening to music while surfing the web. I know others do some downloading in the background while playing a game in windows mode so they can switch back and forth between the game and a chat window.
Weird (in my book), but it seems like there are a lot who do these kind of multi tasking things with their systems today.
Love the podcasts by the way. Though, the last couple have had video and audio sync problems (in case you didn't know).
Assuming a good watercooling block such as the Corsair h70,and plenty of fans,do you feel this chip has significant O/C capacity?
In my MC guild, we rolled for gear because we the group was in fact an alliance of 2-3 little guilds operating collectively to create 40-mans achievable. Only merchandise I ever bought was my Pally bracers, a BOE... from the auction home.
That is a totally random comment. What forum were you supposed to be posting that to.
As usual, a very well written article Ryan. I can tell you really spent a lot of time writing it, unfortunately not all the people commenting seem to care about the time you spent to both research the product as well as actually understand it.
My take on Llano is that they should have stuck to only launching it for "gaming notebooks." There was a toshiba on sale last week with the A8-3850 for $500 and that was the first time i saw an AMD notebook in a long time that actually seemed worth buying at a good price.
I also think a good market for Llano would be gaming nettops. A little Lan box that could play games decent, but nothing like a typical "gaming rig."
i think its good and im buying it next week along with hd6670...i seen few videos on you tube and im convinced its preety great considering price...so...its for ppl that need PC for new games like me and cant afford to give 2k $ for some beast of PC :) in cross with hd6670 it can play crysis 2 on average of 30-35 FPS so im contend with it :) thx for review :)
Hi there,
I recently got apu3850 + Radeon HD6850. Any chance to crossfire this combination? Tried it according video tips for apu + 6670, but can't see crossfire option anywhere in AMD Vision Control Panel.
AFAIK, the HD6850 is not supported for Dual Graphics. It's far too powerful to benefit from the onboard HD6550. The HD6670 is the most powerful supported GPU.
I'm having a similar problem except I have the apu3850 and an HD6770 card... I have the most updated drivers but do not see the "enable crossfire" option in vision center. Any ideas?
the APU trades memory bandwidth for more GPU performance; for a weak 64-bit DDR3 6450 it may mean +50% (unlikely), but for a full 256-bit GDDR5 6850 with lots of shaders it may even slow it down ... parallel processing has a cost, if it's added other bandwidth penalty it may be counter-productive ... so NO, you made a pretty bad choice if you miss the 1866 DDR3 support
I think you have missed the whole point of buying an a-series APU.
If you want better performance that what the inbuild 6550 and a pci 6670 card will give you, then just dont bother buying the A-series APU.
Get yourself a decent AMD X4 or X6 chip instead and a motherboard that support AM3 chips.
These chips are faster the the A-series and will team up better with the higher end graphics cards.
This review is bullshit.
You can't overclock llano more than 3-5%
All you are doing is changing a number with your "overclocks", benchmark and see.
This processor is perfect for me. Low price and reliable performance. and discrete level dx 11 and grafichs.
this is the future of protcessors!
I just installed an amd a8-3850 processor, and i was wondering what is the best discrete graphics card to use dual graphics with my cpu. i have been looking at the Visiontek 900485 Radeon HD 6670 Video Card.
appreciate any help :)
im thinking the most likely card i will buy is the DIAMOND 6670PE32G Radeon HD 6670 2GB 128-bit GDDR3. its a little bit cheaper. and more likely to fit in my case
I don't think that card will work in Crossfire X. I just got it today, and have spent literally hours trying to get it to Crossfire with A8-3850. I have all drivers installed and still cannot enable the Crossfire on AMD Vision Control Center. I am pretty savvy, but cannot figure it out. Diamond doesn't even list this card on their site anymore. Think they are running from this problem, instead of tackling it!
hey my bios doesnt have those options im running a laptop and i need to undervolt and overclock. can u shed some help? i may consider attempting e the fact flashing your bios over mine, despite the fact that ill most likely render my pc useless.

Two new studies strongly suggest that a mutation in a recently discovered gene is the most common genetic cause of Parkinson's disease
identified to date. The discovery by an international research team provides fresh evidence that genetics may contribute to the development of
some cases of Parkinson's disease.
The findings could lead to the development of a genetic test to detect the mutation in individuals at risk. The research team includes
investigators at the National Institute on Aging (NIA) and scientists supported by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke
Parkinson's disease, which affects at least 500,000 Americans, is a progressive neurologic disorder that is caused by the degeneration of
nerve cells in the portion of the brain that controls movement. Scientists have long suspected genetics plays a role in the onset of the
In these studies, the investigators found that a mutation in the gene LRRK2 appears to occur in at least one of every 60 people who have the
disease. Overall, the mutation could be responsible for up to 5 percent of Parkinson's disease in people with a family history of the disorder
and may account for 1½ to 2 percent of cases in individuals who do not have a family history of the disease.
The researchers found a mutation in one copy of the gene can lead to the disease. The findings were published online by Lancet at 6:30 p.m. ET
on January 17, 2004.
"Among the forms of Parkinson's disease that are genetic in origin, this gene mutation causes more cases of Parkinson's disease than any other
gene discovered to date," says Andrew Singleton, Ph.D., chief of the Molecular Genetics Unit in the NIA's Laboratory of Neurogenetics.
"Knowing that this mutation is not only important in familial forms of disease, but in typical sporadic disease, where there is no strong
family history, could lead to earlier detection of Parkinson's disease. Further study of how this gene works also might help scientists identify
new treatments."
In addition to Dr. Singleton, the collaborative work was spearheaded by William C. Nichols, Ph.D., of Cincinnati Children's Hospital, Tatiana
Foroud, Ph.D., of Indiana University Medical Center, Indianapolis, and Nicholas W. Wood, M.D., of the Institute of Neurology in London. The NIA
and the NINDS are part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
Singleton and his colleagues recently discovered LRRK2, a gene that encodes a protein named dardarin by the researchers from the Basque word
dardara, which means tremor, a major symptom of Parkinson's disease. It was isolated on a region of chromosome 12 called PARK8 by investigators
who studied five families with a history of Parkinson's disease who lived in the Basque region of Spain and in England.
In these new studies, the researchers sought to determine the prevalence of the genetic mutation in other families and individuals being
studied by the Parkinson's Study Group with NINDS support.
In an analysis of 358 families with a history of Parkinson's disease, for instance, the investigators found that 34 of the 767 people who had
inherited the disease had at least one copy of the mutated gene. Similarly, the team detected one copy of the mutation in 8 of 482 people with
Parkinson's disease, but who didn't report a family history of the disease.
The Parkinson's Study Group is a non-profit, cooperative group of Parkinson's disease experts from 59 medical centers in the United States and
Canada who are dedicated to improving treatment for people affected by Parkinson's disease.
"NINDS is pleased to have supported the collection of this large group of families and sibling pairs, which is proving to be an invaluable
resource for these studies," says Diane Murphy, Ph.D., a program director at NINDS. "Because the prevalence of this mutation is 5 percent in
families with a history of the disease and it is relatively common even among those without a family history, it's possible that detecting this
mutation will help identify people at increased risk for Parkinson's disease."
About 50,000 Americans are diagnosed with Parkinson's disease each year. The disease occurs when certain nerve cells die or become impaired
and can no longer produce dopamine, a brain signaling chemical (neurotransmitter).
Without it, individuals can develop tremor or trembling in hands, arms, legs, jaw, and face; rigidity or stiffness of the limbs and trunk;
bradykinesia, or slowness of movement; and postural instability or impaired balance and coordination.
Patients may also have difficulty walking, talking, or completing other simple tasks. The disease is both chronic and progressive. Incidence
of the disease increases with age, with an average onset at about 60 years.
