Please note that use of all vertebrate animals at Einstein is under the oversight of the IACUC. No project using animals may begin without prior review and approval of an animal use protocol or modification by the IACUC. This includes experimental procedures that will be performed outside of Einstein by a collaborator, as per the IACUC policy.
An animal research project can only be conducted at Einstein by a fulltime faculty who is in residence. There must be a faculty investigator who will be completely responsible for the project and for everyone involved in the project.
Any and all vertebrate animals to be used in research or teaching by an investigator must be covered by an IACUC approved animal use protocol. This includes animals that are bred in house, acquired from colleagues, or purchased from vendor sources.
You must complete the appropriate animal use protocol form or modification to animal use protocol form to the IACUC. The form must be typed and all questions must have a response. The Principal Investigator and the Chair of the Principal Investigator's department must sign the form. Also, depending on proposed experiments, the Department of Environmental Health and Safety (EH&S) may also need to sign the form. Please note:
The completed form should be filed in the IACUC. The following methods of submissions are acceptable: hand delivery or interoffice mail (Van Etten 468) or by e-mail (email@example.com). However, please note that the final version of the animal use protocol or modification must contain all original signatures (of PI, Chair, and (if required), EH&S) in order to be approved by the IACUC.
Once the IACUC receives the animal use protocol or modification, it will be assigned to Full Review or Delegated Review. The review process can take at minimum 4 weeks. However, it can take longer depending on:
If an animal use protocol or modification is assigned to full review it must be reviewed by the entire IACUC at a monthly meeting. Animal use protocols and modifications with the following characteristics MUST go through the Full Review process:
Animal use protocols and modification assigned to delegated review will be assigned, by the IACUC, to one or more reviewer(s). The protocol or modification will not have to be reviewed by the IACUC at a monthly meeting. However, a summary of the protocol or modification will be provided to the IACUC members. Please note that the reviewer(s) may bump the protocol or modification up to Full Review at any time.
Please see "Full Review Process" or "Delegated Review Process" for step by step of review process.You will receive notification either by e-mail or interoffice mail that your animal use protocol modification or modification has been approved by the IACUC.
Once your animal use protocol or modification has been approved, AND NOT BEFORE, you may order animals through the Institute for Animal Studies (IAS). Acquisition of animals is centrally coordinated by the Institute for Animal Studies (IAS). Please note that animals to be obtained from colleagues from another academic institution or non-commercial resource are also arranged through the IAS.

Hey, remember my new year's pledge to try a bunch of different exercise classes for the first time and report back? Well, I haven't forgotten, even if I haven't written one up since January. One of these days, I'm going to write up water aerobics (short answer: LOVE IT), but right now, my first experience with Pilates is fresh in my mind.
So, there's a studio right in my neighborhood that offers 3 private introductory lessons for $99 — a pretty damn good deal, since privates ordinarily cost nearly twice as much there, and from what I can tell, even that is cheap for Pilates. I went for my first one on Friday.
Fun Quotient: 4
I loved the machines like I can't even tell you. (Which kind of sucks, actually, because mat classes are comparable in price to yoga classes, but working on the machines requires the pricey private or semi-private lessons. Sigh.) I didn't get to do this yet, unfortunately, but I did get to do a bit of work on the Cadillac–mostly sitting on it and using trapeze-like bars for resistance. That didn't quite satisfy the 5-year-old in me, whose gut response to the machine was "Whee! Monkey bars!" but it came close, and that was a big part of the fun. (I spent pretty much every recess in kindergarten and most in first grade hanging by my knees off the monkey bars–and simply could not understand why anyone, given the opportunity to be hanging upside down, would not take it. I also once got seriously busted for doing penny drops off the doorway of a friend's backyard dog run, because once again… there was a BAR right there, BEGGING to be swung from! Never mind that it was totally unstable! So that background might help you understand why my heart goes pitter patter when I look at the Cadillac.)
The Reformer–which is like a souped-up rowing machine–was also cool. I started by lying on my back on the carriage and using my legs to push backwards, the trick being that I was only supposed to use my legs, without moving my pelvis a millimeter. Holy crap, harder than it sounds. And that kind of super-detailed muscle isolation shit is one of the things I've always loved best about yoga (at least the schools that focus on that), so it's right up my alley.
Then I got to swing my legs above my head and put them into stirrups on springs, pulling myself back and forth in the other direction — I'm not describing that well, but it's hard to put into words. Loved that, because if I can't be fully upside-down, having my legs over my head is the next best thing. (Keep your gutter-minded jokes to yourself.) I will say I was really glad my own body was in between my eyes and the mirror for that round of exercises, 'cause if I could have seen myself, I'm pretty sure I would have been horrified. But it was a blast.
The only bit of Reformer work I didn't enjoy was Eve's Lunge, which the instructor tried to sell me as "just like Warrior Pose!" And hey, I can do Warrior Pose! Yeah, problem is, you add the machine in, and it becomes Warrior Pose with Flaming Rods Stuck into Various Parts of Your Body. I honestly think part of the problem there was my shortness — on a more compact Reformer, if such a thing existed, I might not have stretched myself so hard, 'cause with the length of my legs, moving the carriage backward at all in that position was really tough. But it also just puts my weight in different places from what I'm used to (you can't put much weight on the back leg without fucking up your knee), and — not so shockingly, this being Pilates and all — is much tougher on the core muscles for me than Warrior is. Owie.
Oh yeah, then there was mat work. We only did a tiny bit of it, and it was very yoga-like, except for learning how to breathe differently, which was cool. (Of course, my old yoga teacher frequently brought some Pilates stuff into what we did, so it might not have been as technically yoga-like as I think.) I'll probably try a mat class and could see myself getting into that, but I'm still in the Fun Quotient section here, and the fun was ALL about the machines.
Sweat Quotient: 0.
I left my hoodie on the whole time and didn't even glisten. Now, I'm sure this is something that varies a hell of a lot, depending on whom you work with and what you do, but since it was my first time, we did everything pretty slowly, and it was quite literally no sweat. (Figuratively, some of the shit was intense, but just not in the way that makes me sweat. And practically everything makes me sweat.) Since Pilates was designed with rehabilitation in mind, there's no problem with taking things slowly and adapting the moves to what your body's ready for. So if you don't want to sweat, I'd say you probably don't have to — and you'll still be working your muscles like whoa (see below).
Fat Friendliness: 4 for what we did, probably 3-4 if you go further on and/or are fatter than I am.
On the little "about me" sheet they had me to fill out, it asked if there was anything they should know about, and I wrote "Might need some modifications for big belly/breasts." The instructor (middle-aged, skinny) read that and laughed — but in a good way. A "nobody's ever said that to me before, but yeah, boobs can totally get in the way" way. And she did, at one point, start to have me do something on the chair, then move me over to the Cadillac because it occurred to her that my boobs might interfere with her first idea. I probably would have liked to try the first way and see if it actually was a problem for me, but she was cool about it, and I appreciated her really keeping that request in mind.
My fat didn't cause problems with any of the exercises we did — but I don't know how the machines are weight-rated, and I could see some of the things I did being more difficult in a larger body. Again, though, Pilates is very much about meeting you where you are, so I imagine you could do plenty of it at any size. The only question mark is how fat-friendly the instructor you get is; mine wasn't judgmental or flummoxed at all, so you want to hold out for one like that, I guess. And if you're concerned, it might be worth calling ahead and saying "Look, I weigh X and I'm built like Y– do you think I can use the machines effectively?"
My experience was 99% great, but I didn't give it a full 5 points for fat-friendliness for two reasons. 1) The Reformer, regardless of its weight-rating, is definitely more accommodating of a narrow body. I was supposed to keep my arms at my sides while lying on the carriage, which I could do, but if I were about two inches wider on either side, there wouldn't have been room for them. I'm sure there's probably a work-around for that, but I suspect the machines you find in a typical studio would just be straight-up too small for some people. The good news is, the Reformer is not the be-all and end-all of Pilates, but that's something to be aware of. 2) The 1% that wasn't great… Pilates is all about working the core muscles, basically everything from your ass up through your ribs. Which means, as with ballet and yoga, you're constantly being told to "engage your abs" — i.e., suck in your gut. That's fine, in and of itself — but a few times, the skinny instructor would be staring at my stomach, telling me to engage my abs, and I was like, "Honey, they're as engaged as they're ever gonna be — you just can't tell, because they're UNDER A LAYER OF FAT." She also at one point talked about how if my abs were engaged correctly while I lay on my back, they'd make "a flat shelf," which… *snort* I mean, the actual muscles probably were flat under there somewhere, but I ain't gonna be balancing a teacup on my gut any time soon, is all I'm sayin'.
I want to emphasize that she didn't actually come off as rude or even insensitive with that stuff — just like her teaching habits were not geared to larger bodies, which they probably aren't, with good reason. She was totally respectful and did make a conscious effort to consider how my body would work with the machines and stuff, so she gets very high marks from me in that regard. But if you're more self-conscious than I am or get a teacher who's the kind to bark, "SUCK IT IN!" that kind of thing could be problematic.
Exhaustion Quotient: 0.5
Again, we were working very slowly, it being my first time out, so I didn't get tired at all. I worked and felt it, but it didn't wear me out a bit.
Post-Class Invigoration Quotient: 0.5
That would be the downside of not getting even a little exhausted. I felt good walking out of there, but not so much invigorated.
Humiliation Quotient: Variable
This would totally depend on your level of self-consciousness, where the mirrors are, how cool your instructor is, and how many other people are in the room. I ended up in a LOT of positions where I'm sure I looked beyond redonkulous, but since there was no one else there, the instructor was nice, and I mostly ignored or couldn't see the mirrors, it was no prob. And there was nothing in the way of humiliation because I just couldn't get what I was supposed to be doing. When I was doing stuff wrong it was because, like, my pelvis was tilting up a tiny bit, not because my arms were flailing around and I was going in entirely the wrong direction, you know?
Pain Quotient: 1
I spent a lot of time wondering if I was really doing stuff right, because I mostly didn't feel my core muscles working all that hard. I did do a couple insanely intense leg stretches on the Reformer, but except for Eve's Lunge, they stayed just this side of the line between good-intense and OWWWWW.
This, however, only refers to how I felt in the studio. The next day was a different story.
Next-Day Pain Quotient: 2.5-3, depending on your threshold
After the aforementioned leg stretches, I fully expected my inner thighs to be on fire the next day. Funny thing is, they weren't — I only had the tiniest twinge of leg pain. But OMG, MY ABS. Turns out I really was working those babies. Especially the upper abs, which I can still feel two days later. Put it this way: I actually said the words, "It hurts when I laugh" yesterday. It was sorta satisfying, in that "Wow, I did more than I thought" way, but definitely don't plan on doing anything strenuous the day after your first Pilates class, even if you think (as I did) you've got a pretty solid core.
Other Thoughts
I'm looking forward to going back to the next 2 privates I'm signed up for and to trying a mat class. I think I would really love working on the machines on a regular basis–and I definitely really love that the studio is a 5-minute walk from my house, which makes dragging my ass there frequently much more plausible than if it were somewhere annoying to get to. But working on the machines is fucking expensive. Getting really into anything other than mat Pilates would be a big financial commitment.
But if money were no object? I'd probably be there 3 times a week, working diligently toward being allowed to hang upside down on the Cadillac. 'Cause, dude… YOU GET TO HANG UPSIDE DOWN!

Sheriff: Man shot, killed 1 in Wilkes County before robbing bank
A Wilkes County man was arrested on suspicion of fatally shooting another man Monday morning and robbing a bank less than 30 minutes later.
Rainer Johannes Hoedl, 49, was charged with murder and robbery with a dangerous weapon.
George Howard Moses, 51, was found dead around 10 a.m. inside a home at 251 Gold Mine Ridge Lane, off Highway 421 in Windy Gap. Moses had a gunshot wound to the head, Wilkes County deputies said.
Both Moses and Hoedl lived in the home, said Sheriff Chris Shew.
The bank robbery occurred around 10:25 a.m. at the Wells Fargo at 1899 Hwy. 421 in Wilkesboro. Hoedl matched the suspect description in the robbery and was charged with that as well, deputies said.
Hoedl was arrested without incident after a trooper spotted his vehicle going west on Hwy. 421 in Watauga County. He's being held without bond in the Wilkes County Jail.

typeid Operator
The latest version of this topic can be found at typeid Operator.
typeid( expression )
typeid operator allows the type of an object to be determined at run time.
The result of
typeid is a const type_info&. The value is a reference to a type_info object that represents either the type-id or the type of the expression, depending on which form of
typeid is used. See type_info Class for more information.
typeid operator does not work with managed types (abstract declarators or instances), see typeid for information on getting the Type of a specified type.
typeid operator does a run-time check when applied to an l-value of a polymorphic class type, where the true type of the object cannot be determined by the static information provided. Such cases are:
A reference to a class
A pointer, dereferenced with *
A subscripted pointer (i.e. [ ]). (Note that it is generally not safe to use a subscript with a pointer to a polymorphic type.)
If the expression points to a base class type, yet the object is actually of a type derived from that base class, a type_info reference for the derived class is the result. The expression must point to a polymorphic type (a class with virtual functions). Otherwise, the result is the type_info for the static class referred to in the expression. Further, the pointer must be dereferenced so that the object it points to is used. Without dereferencing the pointer, the result will be the type_info for the pointer, not what it points to. For example:
// expre_typeid_Operator.cpp
// compile with: /GR /EHsc
#include <iostream>
#include <typeinfo.h>
class Base {
virtual void vvfunc() {}
class Derived : public Base {};
using namespace std;
int main() {
Derived* pd = new Derived;
Base* pb = pd;
cout << typeid( pb ).name() << endl; //prints "class Base *"
cout << typeid( *pb ).name() << endl; //prints "class Derived"
cout << typeid( pd ).name() << endl; //prints "class Derived *"
cout << typeid( *pd ).name() << endl; //prints "class Derived"
delete pd;
If the expression is dereferencing a pointer, and that pointer's value is zero, typeid throws a bad_typeid exception. If the pointer does not point to a valid object, a
__non_rtti_object exception is thrown, indicating an attempt to analyze the RTTI that triggered a fault (like access violation), because the object is somehow invalid (bad pointer or the code wasn't compiled with /GR).
If the expression is neither a pointer nor a reference to a base class of the object, the result is a type_info reference representing the static type of the expression. The static type of an expression refers to the type of an expression as it is known at compile time. Execution semantics are ignored when evaluating the static type of an expression. Furthermore, references are ignored when possible when determining the static type of an expression:
// expre_typeid_Operator_2.cpp
#include <typeinfo>
int main()
typeid(int) == typeid(int&); // evaluates to true
typeid can also be used in templates to determine the type of a template parameter:
// expre_typeid_Operator_3.cpp
// compile with: /c
#include <typeinfo>
template < typename T >
T max( T arg1, T arg2 ) {
cout << typeid( T ).name() << "s compared." << endl;
return ( arg1 > arg2 ? arg1 : arg2 );

In this talk I will discuss the question of how to characterize, in an operationally meaningful way, the inevitable disturbance of a quantum system in a measurement. I will review some well-known limitations of quantum measurements (facts), and give precise formulations of trade-off relations between information gain and disturbance. Famous examples among these limitations are the uncertainty principle, the complementarity principle, and Wigners theorem on limitations on measurements imposed by conservation laws. The universal validity of each of these has been challenged repeatedly, and no conclusive resolution seems to have been reached.
I will analyze some long-standing conflations and misconceptions (myths) concerning these quantum limitations, such as the reduction of the uncertainty principle to the idea of mechanical disturbance (momentum kicks), the claim that the uncertainty principle has nothing to do with (the impossibility of) simultaneous measurements of noncommuting quantities, and some alleged violations of the uncertainty and complementarity principles. Recent rigorous work has led to apparently contradictory conclusions on these issues. I will show that the contradictions dissolve if due attention is paid to the choice of operationally meaningful notions of measurement accuracy and disturbance.

Here are the podcasts I have been listening to. I will appreciate if you can let me know of your recommendations. Who said podcasting is dead?
(Here is one tip you may find useful. I listen to my podcasts at 1.5x speed. It is actually a more comfortable and natural way to listen to stuff than 1x. 1x is too slow, your brain starts losing the stream of conversation due to the slow pace, and starts wondering around. Give 1.5x a try.)
Dan Carlin's Hardcore HistoryWho knew history could be this interesting and captivating. Dan Carlin, a seasoned radio host and American political commentator, found his true calling in this podcasts series about history. The episodes are long, 4 hour episodes. But they are so exciting and captivating. I found myself depressed and scared while listening to World War 1 episodes. The Wrath of Khans episodes about the Genghis Khan were also very interesting.
The Tim Ferris ShowI don't like Tim Ferris's writing and his persona for the most part. But I am a big fan of his podcast. His host selection and his interviewing skills are excellent. The topics are almost always interesting. And I learn a lot from his podcasts.
For example, I learned about Dan Carlin's and Mike Rowe's podcasts from Tim's episodes. Just check this list, it is quite impressive.
Some of my favorite episodes were:
Interview master: Cal Fussman and the Power of Listening
How Seth Godin Manages His Life -- Rules, Principles, and Obsessions
Luis von Ahn on Learning Languages, Building Companies, and Changing the World
The Scariest Navy SEAL Imaginable…And What He Taught Me
Scott Adams: The Man Behind Dilbert
Chris Sacca on Being Different and Making Billions

Many experts previously believed that strict vegetarians were the primary group that could develop a vitamin B12 deficiency. If you had adequate stores of this important nutrient in your body, the experts believed you were "safe" for many years from developing a B12 deficiency. Now we know better. Vitamin B12 deficiency and depletion are much more common than previously thought, especially in the over-60 population. In fact, it's believed that almost one in four people over 60 have deficient levels of this vital vitamin. Equally disturbing are emerging signs that other age groups harbor suboptimal blood levels of B12 as well. Why is vitamin B12 deficiency such a big deal? Your body depends on vitamin B12 for a host of functions, including… Helping to maintain normal energy levels* Promoting healthy neurological activity, including mental alertness* Supporting normal homocysteine levels for healthy cardiac function* Helping to ease occasional stress and sleeplessness* Maintaining healthy cell growth and repair* Promoting normal immune function* Supporting normal metabolism of carbohydrates and fats* When your blood levels of vitamin B12 are low, one or more of these functions may be disrupted.* Without adequate blood levels of B12, you can experience symptoms related to low energy, mental fatigue, mood changes, sleep difficulties, and even occasional indigestion.* Your body relies on the efficient conversion of carbohydrates to glucose – your body's source of fuel – just like your car needs to be able to use gas to run smoothly. Vitamin B12 plays a major role in that conversion in your body.* Likewise, B12 enables your body to convert fatty acids into energy as well.* Contrary to what you might have heard, there's really no solid evidence that supplemental vitamin B12 helps you lose weight. Overall, vitamin B12 is a nutrient your body cannot do without for efficient, healthy metabolism of fats and carbohydrates.* How You Get Vitamin B12 Deficient The older you get the more likely you are to have a vitamin B12 deficiency. The two ways that you become deficient in vitamin B12 are from not getting enough in your diet and from losing the ability to absorb it. I recently visited India which is primarily a vegetarian based culture and current studies there show about 80% of the adults are deficient in vitamin B12. However, vegans are not the only ones who can become vitamin B12 deficient. The older you get the more your digestive system breaks down, especially if you have been following the standard American diet. Specifically the lining of your stomach gradually loses its ability to produce hydrochloric acid which releases vitamin B12 from your food. The use of antacids or anti-ulcer drugs will also lower your stomach acid secretion and decrease your ability to absorb vitamin B12. Infection with Helicobactor pylori, a common contributor to stomach ulcers, can also result in vitamin B12 deficiency. However the main cause of vitamin B12 deficiency is a term researchers call food-cobalamin malabsorption syndrome. Cobalamin is the scientific term for vitamin B12. This typically results when your stomach lining loses its ability to produce intrinsic factor which is a protein that binds to vitamin B12 and allows your body to absorb it at the end of your small intestine. Figure 1. Cobalamin (cbl) absorption and metabolic pathway. (A) Structure of cobalamin (vitamin B12) with a corrin ring bound to a central cobalt atom. (B) The metabolic journey of cbl from nutrient intake to its intestinal absorption. Endocytic receptors and proteins responsible for vitamin B12 intestinal absorption include cubilin (CUBN), amnionless (AMN), receptor-associated protein (RAP) and megalin (LRP-2). The membrane megalin/transcobalamin II (TCII) receptor complex allows the cellular uptake of cbl. Lysosomal-mediated degradation of TCII and subsequent release of free cbl is essential for vitamin B12 metabolic functions.

NEW Form of Vitamin B12 Not Found in Most Health Food and Vitamin Stores If you often feel tired, run-down, and lacking in energy, you're not alone. Low energy is one of our country's biggest health complaints. Some of the top reasons for this are: Refined foods sold in grocery stores are depleted of vital nutrients... Refined foods are loaded with sugar... Refined foods are full of chemicals... Refined foods are overloaded with food colorings; and... Refined foods are loaded with preservatives... ...but it doesn't stop there, either. Add the harmful effects of caffeine, pollution, conventional therapies, and the stress most of us experience every day... and you've got yourself a recipe for energy drain. Well, I'm here to tell you there's a new way to give yourself extra energy.* Actually, a cutting edge way to feel more energized -- without the jitteriness of caffeine.* More on this in a moment. Now, of course, powering up with extra energy is just one of B12's many health benefits.* But you need to... Make Sure Your Vitamin B12 Is Made from This... Otherwise, you could be wasting your time. How could that be? Well, the answer simply put is… not all types of B12 (cobalamins) are created equal. There are generally three main types of cobalamins used in B12 supplements… Hydroxycobalamin Cyanocobalamin Methylcobalamin Even though cyanocobalamin B12 is probably the most popular form of B12 in supplements, I don't believe it's the most effective. That distinction goes to methycobalamin (methyl B12). And methyl B12 is the cobalamin compound of choice in Vitamin B12 Energy Boost because… Studies suggest that methyl B12 may be better utilized and retained in the body.* Methyl B12 is the active form of vitamin B12 and evidence indicates it has some applications not shared by other forms of vitamin B12.* With other forms of B12, your body must convert them into a coenzyme form for you to benefit. Not so with methyl B12… it's already in the active coenzyme form naturally in your body.* What Critical Health Benefits Does this Vitamin Bring to the Table? For starters, vitamin B12 helps folic acid regulate the formation of red blood cells, and helps your body use iron.* In addition, it is also needed for proper digestion, food absorption, carbohydrate and fat metabolism.* It also helps keep your nervous system healthy by assisting the nerves of your body to function and communicate in an optimal manner.* But that's not all... far from it! B12 also helps in cell formation and cellular longevity.* Plus, it can support female reproductive health, and promote normal nerve growth and development by maintaining the fatty sheaths.* These fatty sheaths play a vital role as they cover and protect your nerve endings.* What's more, this workhorse of a micronutrient is critical to your circulation and adrenal hormone production -- plus, it helps boost your immunity.* And, oh yes, let's not forget... Vitamin B12 supports a healthy mood and feelings of well-being.* And then there's this -- it also provides excellent support for your memory, mental clarity, and concentration.* Aside from using B12 to give you an energy boost, when does it also make sense to supplement with this all-important vitamin? Well, there are several good reasons to take vitamin B12. And the first reason to take it is if you are a carb type or a strict vegetarian. If You Avoid Meat, You Probably Need to Take B12 Vegetarians have an increased need for vitamin B12 Many people avoid red meats for a large variety of reasons. If you are one of them, you are at a high risk for developing vitamin B12 deficiency. Why? Because plant sources have virtually no vitamin B12. And oral forms of B12 in nearly all supplements are practically useless, as little is absorbed into your bloodstream. Vegetarians should take this essential micronutrient to ensure an adequate supply of it, because it is found almost exclusively in animal tissues. And, the few plant foods that are sources of B12 are actually B12 analogs -- not the form that provides all the benefits of the real deal. Simply put, an analog is a substance that blocks the uptake of true B12. The result being, your body's need for the nutrient actually increases. Furthermore, your body's need for this nutrient may also increase if you take Metformin©. Metformin may interfere with calcium metabolism. And this interference may reduce B12 absorption, because this absorption requires calcium. Studies suggest that 10% to 30% of patients taking Metformin show evidence of reduced vitamin B12 absorption. That's why it is important to speak with your doctor to discuss the best way to maintain B12 levels when taking this medication. Now, if getting a good night's sleep has also become increasingly more difficult for you, here's... What Your Sleeping Difficulties May Be Trying to Tell You! If you suffer from sleeping difficulties, I recommend taking vitamin B12 during the day. I believe it can help you.* Here's why. B12 plays a vital role in melatonin production.* Melatonin has been called "the sleep hormone" because it is responsible for letting you get a good night's sleep. As you age, it becomes increasingly more difficult to get a good night's sleep because your body becomes less efficient at making this hormone. And that's why it's a good idea to take B12 to help you sleep like a baby each night.* Moreover, a vitamin B12 deficiency can have other annoying consequences too. Do You or a Loved One Experience Any of the Following? Not many know it, but if you or a family member experience: Tiredness and feelings of weakness...* Less-than-optimal nervous system functioning...* Less-than-optimal eye health...* Loss of appetite and unintended weight loss...* Occasional constipation and gas...* Feelings of mild moodiness...* Less-than-optimal memory...* A tendency toward nervousness...* Less-than-optimal balance...* Less-than-optimal liver or heart health...* Premature grey hair...* Occasional digestive issues...* ...you may need to supplement with vitamin B12, even if you eat foods rich in B12. Oddly enough, that wasn't a typo. You can eat plenty of meat, poultry, lamb's liver, brewer's yeast, clams, eggs, herring, mackerel, kidneys, milk, dairy products, or seafood -- and still have low levels of B12. How can that be? It could be because your body is unable to absorb it from your gut. You see B12 needs the help of a protein in order to be absorbed. That protein is called intrinsic factor. And because the lining of your stomach makes intrinsic factor, people with less-than-optimal gastrointestinal health often need to supplement with B12.* Likewise, most people over the age of 50 have a limited ability to absorb B12, too. Thus, the need for supplementation. Pain-Free Supplementation With that said, the form of vitamin B12 I'm recommending does NOT come as a pill, tablet, capsule, gelcap, or liquid. Amazingly, it's B12 in a spray. A modern marvel that we believe gives most people far better results than anything else. The name of this new product is Vitamin B12 Energy Boost. And it's only available here on Mercola.com. Now, here's the question you may be asking at this point: How Can Something as Simple as a Spray Work so Much Better Than a Pill, Tablet, or Capsule? Quite simply, the B12 in Vitamin B12 Energy Boost comes in an easily absorbed form your body can now use.* It turns out that this fine-mist spray formula you spray into your mouth causes the essential nutrients to become absorbed rapidly.* As a result, it delivers more of this product's nutrients to your circulatory system, tissues, and cells quickly.* Remember -- only a small fraction of this crucial vitamin gets absorbed through your gut when you take it in a pill, tablet, capsule, or gelcap. And to make Vitamin B12 Energy Boost even more effective, we made sure our manufacturer used this. Here's the REAL TRUTH about the B12 in Most Multivitamins: It all boils down to this... Most of them contain 100-200 micrograms of B12. But, if you actually took 500 micrograms of B12, you'd get an absorption of about 1.8 micrograms. Let me repeat, only 1.8 out of a total of 500 micrograms. That's an absorption rate of only one third of one percent! But, that's only half of the story. The late Victor Herbert, a renowned B12 researcher, said that many multivitamin products on the market today contain dangerous B12 analogs. In other words, analogs get created when crystalline B12 interacts with other nutrients in multivitamin products, such as vitamin C, iron and copper -- increasing your body's need for B12. Does the company selling the multivitamin tell you this vital bit of information? Probably not! Truth be told, most multi-vitamins sold today are a complete waste of money when it comes to their B12 quality and performance. Now listen up: Each bottle of Vitamin B12 Energy Boost delivers a serving size (1,000 micrograms) of 6 sprays per day. And you get approximately 205 metered sprays in each container. Because this ends up being a 32-day supply, you actually receive a nice bonus of 4 additional days! How can you beat that? And that's just the beginning. Another nice feature of Vitamin B12 Energy Boost is that it... Comes in a Tasty Natural Blackberry Flavor And in addition to tasting great, it's absolutely FREE of... Sugar Yeast Starch Wheat Soy Gluten Eggs Salt Dairy Better yet, it's also FREE of artificial flavors, color, synthetics, binders, fillers, wax, shellac, talcum, and animal gelatin. The bottom line is that our Vitamin B12 Energy Boost is stimulant-free, contains only natural ingredients, and tastes great! Best of all, it's packaged in a convenient pre-metered, non-aerosol container that easily fits in your purse or pocket. Last but not least, it... Costs Far Less Than a Cup of Even "Economy" Coffee By now, you're probably wondering how much Vitamin B12 Energy Boost costs. We're happy to tell you the price is very reasonable. You can get a full 32-day supply for only $16.97 -- an excellent value when you consider all the health-promoting and energy-boosting benefits you get.* That's just 50 cents a day -- far less than that cup of caffeine-loaded coffee (and you know that caffeine is certainly not a smart solution to give you more energy). Why are we being so generous? Because we know how much you can benefit from this breakthrough product, and we want to give you every incentive to get started right away. And whether you order one, two, three or more Vitamin B12 Energy Boost for yourself and loved ones, you're completely protected by our... 100% Unconditional Guarantee No doubt about it, Vitamin B12 Energy Boost is an exceptional product.

Q: Why does Vitamin B12 Energy Boost contain methylcobalamin? Most of the B12 I see in stores is cyanocobalamin. A: Even though cyanocobalamin B12 appears to be the most popular form of B12 in supplements, I don't believe it's the most effective. Studies suggest that methylcobalamin: May be better utilized and retained in your body.* Is the active form of vitamin B12 and may have some applications not shared by other forms of the vitamin.* Is already in the active coenzyme form naturally found in your body and doesn't need to go through the conversion process.* 2. Q: Why is Vitamin B12 Energy Boost not a capsule or tablet? A: Many people have difficulty swallowing pills. Vitamin B12 Energy Boost provides an easy and efficient way to get vitamin B12 since you simply spray it in your mouth. 3. Q: How much vitamin B12 can I take in one day? Can I take too much? A: I recommend 6 sprays of my Vitamin B12 Energy Boost per day. However, there are no known side effects from taking more. 4. Q: Can I take vitamin B12 at night or in the evening? A: If you experience sleep difficulties, try taking vitamin B12 during the day. B12 plays an important role in melatonin production.* As you age, your body becomes less efficient at producing enough melatonin, so taking B12 during the day can potentially support your melatonin production at night.* Every person is different. Some people find vitamin B12 energizes them at night if taken before bedtime while others find it helps them sleep.* 5. Q: Where does vitamin B12's bright red color come from? A: Vitamin's bright red color comes from the mineral cobalt. Cobalt sits at the core of the B12 molecule, and is responsible for the other name B12 is often known as: cobalamin.

Today marks the final day of Moved to Greater Love, the first digital communal prayer experience for the Society of Jesus in the United States. The Jesuit provincials who conceived of the project invited participants to "consider how God's love burns away fear and opens us up to respond generously and wholeheartedly." Over these nine weeks, we have explored the themes of gratitude, spiritual freedom, vision and joy, and we have kept the provincials' hopes very near by challenging ourselves to respond to God's call with greater spiritual depth and freedom.
Today, we invite you to pray in retrospect on the Moved to Greater Love experience. Ignatian prayer uses the "Examen" as a way of reviewing the activity of God over a period of time – a meeting, a day, or longer. It is essentially a process of asking God to help one see the graces that have been present in moments ordinary and extraordinary.
For those new to this way of praying, three ways of praying the Examen are linked below. Today you are invited to use the material of Moved to Greater Love and your experiences during this time as your prayer.
Reading via the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops website:
Lk 24:30-32
And it happened that, while he was with them at table,
he took bread, said the blessing,
broke it, and gave it to them.
With that their eyes were opened and they recognized him,
but he vanished from their sight.
Then they said to each other,
"Were not our hearts burning within us
while he spoke to us on the way and opened the Scriptures to us?"
A Poetic Rendering of The First Principle and Foundation Of Ignatius Loyola
By Christine Rodgers
Love made me —
Love sustains me —
Love leads me forth.
For this I sing praise,
bow low, and put
my life at the disposal of
Every tree — every
single star in the sky
points back toward
the Beloved.
May nothing pull me
away from Love — no
small wish of mine
next to the immensity
of the Beloved.
With the Beloved
may I shine.

Friday Fun: Dangerous High School Girls in Trouble
I recently had the pleasure as serving on the jury for the Independent Games Festival, and out of all the games I played, the one that I spent the most time with by far was Keith Nemitz's Indie breakthrough Dangerous High School Girls in Trouble. It's a single-player RPG based in a 1920's high school, disguised as a board game. You choose a girl to play from a set of characters, then attempt to build a girl gang through threats, intimidation, taunting, and leveling up. Your gang then attempts missions such as uncovering suspicious school accidents, finding the school's hidden still, electing a horse mayor, and other shenanigans.
Each of the 12 playable girls have different starting stats for popularity, rebellion, glamour, and savvy, and they play mini-games such as Taunt, Fib, Expose, and Flirt... not the most positive activities, but remember, these are DANGEROUS girls, and they're in trouble. It's like when Kit Kittredge turned 14 and started smoking in the conservatory and piercing her hat with safety pins.
Most of the minigames use the four card suits as tokens or icons, giving the whole experience a parlour-game feel that fits in beautifully with the 20's setting. The story sucks you in and the constant promise of leveling up one of your gang or learning new taunts teasing Bully Girl in the gymnasium makes you forget the underlying unusualness of playing a solitaire RPG that's pretending to be a board game on a computer.
There's a free demo available, plus a gameplay video on youtube, and firsthour.net has a walkthrough of, well, the first hour of the game. Check it out and enjoy!

What should have been a feel-good result for the Crew, especially playing with a man advantage for 61 minutes, instead was a numbing 2-1 loss to Chicago on Saturday at Toyota Park to snap a six-game unbeaten streak.
"We are kicking ourselves," defender Julius James said. "The stars aligned. It was all set. All we had to do was score some goals. We were up a man. That's the situation you want."
The Crew (5-5-4) had allowed only four goals in seven road matches but found themselves trailing 2-0 by the 26th minute following goals by Marco Pappa (second minute) and Dominic Oduro.
"We lost the ball in bad areas," James said. "When you do that, fast teams, like tonight, come at us."
With a little more luck, Chicago could have put five on the board by the break even with Gonzalo Segares being sent off in the 29th minute for his studs up tackle on Kevan George.
The Crew gained life when Tony Tchani scored in the 36th minute. It was his third goal in 52 career games but the first against a team other than Columbus. He scored against the Crew while playing for New York on 2010 and last year with Toronto FC.
"As soon as we scored we knew we had a chance to get points," defender Josh Williams said.
Tchani also had a quality chance on a rebound try early in the second half but his shot was one of many that were well off target, further reinforcing why the Crew is averaging just one goal per game.
The Crew's best chance to get an equalizer came in the 57th minute when Williams' hard luck continued in search of his first goal. His header off a corner kick by Nemanja Vukovic resulted in a reflex hand save by Sean Johnson, the fifth time this season Williams has had an attempt saved off the line or hit the crossbar.
Otherwise, the Crew lacked cohesion in the attack.
"It seemed like we didn't really create too many chances," midfielder Chris Birchall said. "For the amount of possession we had we didn't cause too much of a threat.
"Frustration is the main thing, especially playing a team down so long. We did get one (goal) back but we really should have scored a couple of goals in the second half."

This Is Me, Making Fun of People Who Gank Me
I know it's somewhat unconventional, but I don't really mind being ganked. I don't kill others (partly because my ego would never recover from the embarrassment of loosing), but, yeah, if someone kills me, I'm sort of annoyed, but, you know, it's part of playing on a PvP server.
When I die, I run back. If I'm getting corpse camped, I entertain my opponent with my awe-inspiring alt-tabbing out madskillz. (I guarantee you they get fed up before I do.) I don't sweat the small stuff.
But know what I learned pretty fast?
Most gankers are stupid. Like really stupid. Like really, really stupid. I suppose that picking on weaker than thou typically is compensation for a lack of strength upstairs, but I never cease to be amazed at exactly how lacking upstairs some these people are.
So for your educational pleasure, I will teach three lessons I learned from being ganked, as well as some pointers for gankers looking to become less mock-worthy.
A note for you picky semantics folks (picky semantics folks like me), I realize that the word "gank" has a broad spectrum of meanings. It can mean grouping up to kill someone, it can mean killing someone who doesn't stand a chance (like a lowbie), it can even mean corpse camping. (Sources include Urban Dictionary, Wowwiki and Wiktionary) We'll say it means attacking someone when you have the unfair advantage. And since I'm a poor pathetic, pvp naive little holy pally, we'll say than any attempts to kill me will be called "ganking".
1- The Stranglethorn Rogue
When I do Archeology in the low level zones, I like the Holy Radiance run bonus of the Holy Spec. I rarely get attacked, so self-defense isn't a concern.
One day in Stranglethorn, I was a bit startled to see flashes around me. Going by the debuffs on my frames, it looked like one of those rogues who move like wasps.
Sigh. I Holy Shocked myself and thought about what to do. He didn't seem to be damaging me much, but my holy spec is very much for healing. It takes me a year to kill a level 82 mob, there's nothing I can do to decked out level 85 rogue.
I healed myself again and figured I might as well fight back a little bit. As I went to judge him, he vanished.
I looked around for him. I mean, by then my heart was pounding. I was ready to go down with a fight. But no, nowhere.
It occurred to me afterward that while I'd never kill him, I'd obliterate his nerves with my healing loooong before I run out of mana. Stupid rogue.
What I learned: Even if I can't do damage in world PvP, I'm still far more annoying than any rogue.
Ganking 101: Check the mana bar before you leap.
2- The Feralas Druid
I don't get attacked often during Archeology, but it does happen. This apparition out of nowhere was a Druid. He took me by surprise. I was in Prot spec this time. A spec for digging in Uldum that I hadn't really played yet. I couldn't heal my way to giving him a nervous breakdown so I would have to either let him kill me or fight back the old fashioned way.
His critty kitty was doing quite a bit of damage to me. My tanking spec was a nice copy of something I'd borrowed from Rhidach, but unfortunately blogs don't offer a gear borrowing service.
I forced myself to remember how to PvP. The #1 Rule of PvP? Be as annoying as you can. Seal of Justice is pretty annoying. I put that up. Kitties do physical damage. Devotion Aura is annoying to physical damage dealers. Stuns are annoying. Especially stuns while standing in crap. I smacked him with Hammer of Justice and dropped a Consecration under his feet.
It occurred to me that I might be able to go down with a fight. I reset the match with a Lay on Hands and flexed my brain about how to play Prot. My heart was pounding and the blood was starting to get in the way of my thinking. Pounding… If there's one thing I'm good at, it's keybindings. I was shaking too bad to hit the buttons, but if I formed a fist with my hand…
It was facerolling (well, fistrolling) at it's finest. Even switching to bear form couldn't save this guy from my fancy keyboard work.
I looked at his corpse in shock. I'd never killed a max level character on my own before. Keybindings or not, PvP dps isn't my forte. This guy clearly had no idea what he was doing. Why, then, did he try to kill me? What an idiot.
What I learned: When you have good keybindings, you don't need to know which button to push. Just make a fist and pound, pound, pound.
Ganking 101: Even if your gankee is a total n00b, you still need to have some basic knowledge of how to play to kill them.
3- The Felwood Paladin
Archeology again. I swear I don't get attacked often! It's just that the few times I run into pests, I happen to digging up crap.
This time, I was level 67. The flying Shield from the Skull-level paladin knocked me down to under 20%, his flying Hammer finished me off. Sigh.
I don't mind being ganked, but, man, he made me loose some Night Elf fragments. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW PRECIOUS NIGHT ElF FRAGMENTS ARE? DO YOU??????
As I was running back, I peaked at my combat log. His name was "Jizzin."
I did a double check. Jizzin? As in ejaculate? Oh. Emm. Gee. Most blatant TOS violation EVAIRE.
Two can play at this being a pest game, oh yes. Two hours later, a Blizzard GM answered my ticket saying that "they take name complaints very seriously" and that "measures have been taken".
What I learned: Payback doesn't always require power.
Ganking 101: Don't make revenge so damn easy!
I'm Just a PvE Girl Livin' in a PvP World
In my time on PvP servers, I've learned that:
1) Ganking doesn't happen as often as you'd think. Most people just ignore each other, especially during Archaeology.
2) Those who practice Ganking usually aren't part of Azeroth's intellectual elite.
But hopefully this little bit of snarky wisdom has contributed to educate gankers everywhere, allowing their ganking experience to be more fulfilling. Remember, though, that while I don't make fun of people often, anyone with ganker status is fair game to eternal mockery.Explore posts in the same categories: Goofing Around

Nothing uplifts the spirits more than turning the tables on a ganker who doesn't know how to gank. I think my favorite ganker moment was when my BM hunter (relevant) was strolling along somewhere and got sapped. Well, you can still direct your pet if you're sapped, as long as you have their attack commands bound to mouseover bindings, so I sicced my pet on him. He completely panicked and didn't know what to do in a fair fight, and the pet killed him WHILE I WAS STILL SAPPED. Whenever I am disgruntled I think of this moment, and laugh and laugh.

While I play on a PvE server, I do a bit of PvP and the 5 minute timer has caught me more than once in a non-PvP area still flagged and ripe for the ganking. Thanks for making me laugh on a Tuesday morning.
BTW, if you have any desire to pick up Goblin Engineering, you can make a fun toy called Big Daddy that gives you a nice little ranged stun so you can get in close for your own ganking. It's an AoE stun, so fun to use when you are bumrushing the flag in BGs too.

Nice post. I also have done the "bad name" revenge. BWAHAHAHA!

I once got ganked by a guy called something like Mudderfokker. I reported him, thinking I was going to have the last laugh, but I saw him again a few weeks later, still with the same name…

What a fun read, Ophelie. 🙂 I've never actually been ganked before, but after reading this, I almost wish I had just so I'd have a fun story to tell!

So this one time, I popped out of a BG on my mage (I play on a PvE server), and I noticed I'd been hit with Living Bomb, at first I thought something spell reflected me, then I turned around to see this belf mage throwing stuff at me…
A battle of epic proportions ensued, I won.
Then he got his main…

Ow I've always wanted to try a pvp realm, especially walking around in full arena gear lawl
But, yeah, pve it's always been and even though my holidan is in arena gear and I find it fun to pvp, not sure i'd like it constantly interrupting my gameplay.
Maybe I'd feel different if I didnt just utterly suck at dps. Or had rolled a rogue. 🙂

Steve Miller, MathWorks
In this webinar we show how Model-Based Design can be applied to the development of an aileron actuation system. The concept of Model-Based Design is explained, and then we model, simulate, and deploy the model developed using, MATLAB, Simulink, Simscape, and other MathWorks products.
Several steps of a Model-Based Design workflow are shown, including:
Engineers using a traditional development process often encounter a number of challenges that result in long development cycles and high development costs. Model-Based Design addresses those challenges by using the model for much more than testing individual systems. Simulating in a single environment, continuous validation against requirements, and automatic code generation enable engineers to develop high quality systems fast.
About the Presenter: Steve Miller is responsible for the technical marketing of the physical modeling products at MathWorks. Steve joined MathWorks as an Application Engineer in 2005 and moved to the Design Automation Marketing group in 2006. Prior to that, Steve worked at Delphi Automotive in Braking Control Systems and at MSC.Software as an Adams specialist, consulting in various capacities at Ford, GM, Hyundai, BMW, and Audi. Steve has a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Cornell University and an M.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford University.

Today, the White House released a statement congratulating Dr. Mohamed Morsi on his victory in Egypt's Presidential election and the Egyptian people for this milestone in their transition to democracy. In the statement, the White House Press Secretary said:
'We look forward to working together with President-elect Morsi and the government he forms, on the basis of mutual respect, to advance the many shared interests between Egypt and the United States. We believe that it is important for President-elect Morsi to take steps at this historic time to advance national unity by reaching out to all parties and constituencies in consultations about the formation of a new government. We believe in the importance of the new Egyptian government upholding universal values, and respecting the rights of all Egyptian citizens -- including women and religious minorities such as Coptic Christians. Millions of Egyptians voted in the election, and President-elect Morsi and the new Egyptian government have both the legitimacy and responsibility of representing a diverse and courageous citizenry.
"The United States intends to work with all parties within Egypt to sustain our long-standing partnership as it consolidates its democracy. We commend the Presidential Election Commission and the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) for their role in supporting a free and fair election, and look forward to the completion of a transition to a democratically-elected government. We believe it is essential for the Egyptian government to continue to fulfill Egypt's role as a pillar of regional peace, security and stability. And we will stand with the Egyptian people as they pursue their aspirations for democracy, dignity, and opportunity, and fulfill the promise of their revolution."
President Barack Obama called Dr. Mohamed Morsi to congratulate him on his victory in Egypt's presidential election. Following the call, the White House Press Secretary released a readout that stated the "President underscored that the United States will continue to support Egypt's transition to democracy and stand by the Egyptian people as they fulfill the promise of their revolution. He emphasized his interest in working together with President-elect Morsi, on the basis of mutual respect, to advance the many shared interests between Egypt and the United States. President-elect Morsi expressed appreciation for the call and welcomed U.S. support for Egypt's transition. The two leaders affirmed their commitment to advancing the U.S.-Egypt partnership and agreed to stay in close touch in the weeks and months ahead."
President Obama also called General Ahmed Shafiq today to commend him on a well-run campaign. The White House Press Secretary provided a readout, stating that the "President encouraged General Shafiq to continue to play a role in Egyptian politics by supporting the democratic process and working to unify the Egyptian people. The President emphasized his interest in working together with the new Egyptian President and all Egyptian political groups to advance the shared interests between the United States and Egypt."

Each year hundreds of thousands of Americans, including some 700,000 Medicare recipients, get on a treadmill not for exercise but to try to determine if their hearts are healthy.
Tim Russert, the NBC journalist, had such an exam, called an exercise or treadmill stress test, six weeks before he died of a heart attack last month at age 58. His results had been deemed normal, prompting people to question how worthwhile this test could be.
Two weeks before Mr. Russert died, Dr. Todd D. Miller, a cardiologist and co-director of the Mayo Clinic's Nuclear Cardiology Laboratory in Rochester, Minn., published an assessment of the test's ability to predict the presence of potentially life-threatening cardiac problems. Dr. Miller elaborated on his report, in The Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine, in a telephone interview.
The test is meant to be used "almost exclusively" for people who have symptoms of heart disease, Dr. Miller emphasized.
"But in the real world," he said, "it is often used as a screening test for people without symptoms who are worried about their risk. The accuracy of the test depends on whom it is used. It is most accurate among populations with a high prevalence of coronary disease. But in most people without symptoms, the prevalence of disease is so low that the accuracy of the test is low, too."
Limitations and Advantages
In fact, this test is unable to detect the kind of problem that caused Mr. Russert's death a plaque within the wall of a coronary artery that ruptured, resulting in a clot that set off a rapidly fatal heart rhythm abnormality. If not for the rhythm disturbance, Mr. Russert would have had a far greater chance of surviving his heart attack, said Dr. Miller, who was not one of his physicians.
Mr. Russert's treadmill test may have put him in the low-risk category, Dr. Miller said, "but that doesn't mean no risk."
"Maybe 3 patients in 1,000 with a low-risk test will die from heart disease within a year," he said. "Among those deemed at high risk, more than 3 patients in 100 would die within a year."
Furthermore, when the stress test is used for people who are at low risk for heart disease, an abnormal finding is most often a false positive that prompts further testing that is far more costly, Dr. Miller said.
The stress test's main advantages are its rapidity and low cost one-fifth to one-quarter the cost of more definitive and often more time-consuming tests like a nuclear stress test, CT coronary angiogram or standard angiogram. Medicare pays about $150 for a standard stress test, though hospitals typically charge three to four times that when the test is done on younger patients.
Regardless of cost, the test has no value unless its findings are interpreted in the context of a person's other risk factors for heart disease: age, sex and heart disease symptoms, as well as smoking, being overweight, hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes and family history.
Three main arteries feed the heart, and the ability of a stress test to pick up narrowing of an artery depends on which one is involved, Dr. Miller said. It is better at picking up coronary disease if more than one artery is clogged.
The treadmill test seeks to answer two questions: "Does the patient have coronary artery disease, and is he or she likely to die or suffer a coronary event soon?" Dr. Miller wrote in the Cleveland Clinic journal. But at best it can provide only an estimate of someone's risk of having a heart attack or dying of heart disease within a given period of time.
Interpreting the Results
During a treadmill test, patients are hooked up to an electrocardiogram machine (often abbreviated EKG, for the German spelling) that records the workings of the heart as the duration, speed and difficulty of the exercise increase.
Measurements taken during and immediately after the workout are indicators of cardiovascular fitness and how well a person's autonomic nervous system is functioning: how long the person can continue as the treadmill's speed and incline gradually increase; whether blood pressure drops instead of rising; whether the heart rate increases to an age-appropriate level and how fast it recovers when the test ends; and whether the pumping chambers of the heart develop abnormal beats.
Doctors used to rely mainly on an EKG finding called ST-segment depression to indicate heart trouble. But scores of studies have zeroed in on other, more reliable findings. Exercise duration has the strongest prognostic value, Dr. Miller said. "The longer the patient can keep going on the treadmill, the less likely he or she is to die soon of coronary artery disease or of any cause," he wrote.
Even people who have three diseased coronary arteries can be expected to survive four years or more if they can stay on the treadmill for 12 or more minutes, a study in the 1980s of 4,083 patients with symptoms of heart disease showed.
But duration on the treadmill may be limited by lack of physical fitness, back problems or other unrelated disorders, leading to other, more expensive evaluations.
"When a middle-age couch potato is done in after only three minutes on the treadmill, you scratch your head," Dr. Miller said. "Is this heart disease or just deconditioning?"
Measurements and Diagnoses
Duration on a treadmill is a measure of exercise capacity the workload the body can achieve expressed as metabolic equivalents, or METs, a multiple of the amount of oxygen the body uses at rest. The average middle-age man can reach 10 to 12 METs, about 2 METs more than the average woman, Dr. Miller said.
Blood pressure that is lower during the treadmill exercise than when the person is standing at rest often indicates severe coronary disease a heart unable to meet the demand and has been linked to a threefold increase in the risk of a cardiac event within two years, a study of 2,036 patients showed.
A normal heart beats faster during exercise and slows as soon as exercise stops. Failure of the heart rate to increase as expected, a condition called chronotropic incompetence, is associated with an increased risk of death from heart disease, a study by the Cleveland Clinic Foundation showed. The risk of death within six years is also doubled if the person's heart rate fails to fall quickly when the treadmill stops.
Finally, various heart rhythm abnormalities may occur during the treadmill test. Though most are benign, a rhythm disturbance after the test called ventricular ectopy is linked to a somewhat raised death rate over the next five years.
The bottom line? A stress test result is only one factor in estimating a person's risk of dying soon of heart disease. All other risk factors must be taken into account and, if possible, treated to reduce or eliminate them. To this advice Dr. Miller added, "We'd all be a lot better off if we became more active."

I love stir-fry kiam chye (preserved green mustard) with chili and minced meat.This dish is best pairing with "jook"( porridge or congee).Preserved green mustard is an inexpensive vegetables that we can get in any Asian or Chinese grocery store.On top of that we don't have to worried about the shelf life for this vegetables..I always spare few packet of preserved green mustard in my fridge for raining day..When I was having cold and flu,all I want to eat is this type of comfort food.This preserved green mustard is really handy not to said it's easy and simple to cook..One word:delicious!!
2 packs of preserved green mustard(kiam chye)wash and diced small
4 cloves fresh garlic,peeled and minced
300 gm minced pork
2 long red chili,sliced thin
3 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp cooking oil
1:Soak preserved green mustard in cold water for 20 minutes to wash out the extra saltiness.Squessh preserved mustard dry before diced small.
2:Heat skillet at medium high heat with oil and garlic.Fry garlic until fragrant,add in minced pork and cut chili.Stir-fry both ingredients for 2 minutes before add in kiam chye and sugar.
3:Keep stiring all the ingredients well for another 10-15 minutes or until it's almost dry.The kiam chye tend to release some liquid when frying..
4:Check the seasoning..If the kiam chye is still salty,do not add in salt,maybe add in another 1 tbsp sugar.Remove from heat.Serve warm with porridge or steamed white rice.

Solar Energy Research
California has two programs that fund research into solar energy systems: the PIER Program and the CSI Research, Development, Demonstration, and Deployment Plan.
Public Interest Energy Research Program
The Public Interest Energy Research (PIER) Program was created in 1996 as part of the electricity industry deregulation efforts and is run by the California Energy Commission. Funding for the program comes from the public goods charge on electricity and natural gas bills. The Commission Research and Development Division administers a total of $83.5 million annually - $62.5 million for electricity and $21 million for natural gas.
PIER Research, Development, and Demonstration (RD&D) efforts in the renewable energy area are focused on four objectives:
- Making improvements at existing renewable energy facilities to help provide peak capacity and increased reliability to California's electricity system.
- Expanding renewable distributed generation technologies to help provide electricity generation in high-demand, high-congestion areas.
- Developing renewable energy technologies, products, and services that provide electricity customers with more affordable electricity, improved reliability, and a selection of choices.
- Conducting longer term research on advanced renewable technologies that will help meet tomorrow's electricity needs.
Research reports from the PIER Projects are available online in two areas:
CSI Research, Development, and Deployment Plan
The second was created by the Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) and is called the California Solar Initiative (CSI) Research, Development, Demonstration, and Deployment (RDD&D) Plan. The CSI RDD&D Program has a budget of $50 million, running through 2016; or roughly nine million dollars per year. The program is managed by Itron, Inc. under the auspices of the CPUC and managed by Pacific Gas & Electric. They have created a website for this program at: www.calsolarresearch.org/.
The goal of the CSI RRD&D Plan is to help build a sustainable and self-supporting industry for customer-sited solar in California. To achieve this, the legislature authorized the CPUC to allocate $50 million of the California Solar Initiative budget to focus on:
- Reducing technology costs and increasing system performance.
- Focusing on issues that directly benefit California.
- Filling knowledge gaps to enable wide-scale deployment of distributed solar.
- Supporting the integration of distributed power into the grid.
The CPUC released its first round of research grants in March 2010.

P.M. Three Strikes: Scent lineups questioned as evidence in Texas homicide
LEADING OFF: The accusations swarming around former Arapahoe County Sheriff Pat Sullivan continue to grow more complex and bizarre. In today's Denver Post, reporters Kevin Vaughn and Carlos Illescas reveal that in 2007, Sullivan helped a young man get a job at Cherry Creek Schools while he was still director of security. The young man, Sean Mass, drowned in the South Platte River earlier this year. Methamphetamine and the club drug GHB were in his system when he died.
STRIKE ONE: In The Denver Post this morning, Kirk Mitchell reports on Lyle Brent White, convicted of killing an 11-year-old boy in 2000, who was killed under "suspicious circumstances" at Sterling Correctional Facility. John Ingold reports on a man who was sentenced to 15 years in federal prison after he pleaded guilty to running a prostitution ring that included underage girls.
STRIKE TWO: The Colorado Springs Gazette reports on an 18-year-old man who was arrested on Saturday in connection with the 29th homicide in Colorado Springs this year. The Longmont Times Call details the story of 24-year-old Joseph Logan, who pleaded guilty to two counts of first-degree criminal trespass, after he was arrested twice in one week in May for breaking into cars.
STRIKE THREE: The New York Times reports on a fascinating story about 23-year-old Megan Winfrey, who is serving a life-long sentence for the murder of a high school janitor in 2004. The murder stumped the tiny town of Coldspring, Texas, after Burr was found dead in his home with 28 stab wounds. The twist? Winfrey's brother and father were released after key evidence in the case – a scent lineup – proved too little to link them to the murder. Megan Winfrey is in the third year of her sentenced based on the same evidence.

Netflix Pick: "Shut Up Little Man!" will invade your privacy
Tuesday, March 27, 2012 Leave a comment
After a couple of weeks off due to complete, inescapable entrenchment in following the Mass Effect 3 controversy, my weekly Netflix Pick feature HAS RETURNED! I know, I know… You were all just stuck having absolutely nothing to watch because you are unable to decide for yourselves, and for that I apologize. I, myself, had a bit of trouble deciding what to watch this week, so I deferred to the "Top 10 for Darren" section of my PS3 Netflix interface. Of the recommended titles, I was most intrigued by an odd-sounding documentary entitled "Shut Up Little Man!" Was Netflix right to have the audacity to recommend this film to my discerning tastes? FINDOUTAFTERTHEBREAK!
