Well, last night was a long night. Hannah has slept very little (probably only 1½ hours) since getting out of surgery about 2:30 yesterday afternoon. She just can't seem to relax and sleep. We are scheduled for an MRI sometime this afternoon (I've learned that hospitals operate on their own time schedule, so we have no idea what time), after which we will hopefully be able to return to a regular room. We do not have a private room in the ICU; we're kind of in an "overflow" area, which means no privacy and LOTS of noise. Please pray for a relief from pain and the ability to rest. I'm especially concerned about how she'll do during the MRI today…she will have to lay right on her incision, which is bound to be painful, and she'll have to stay that way, perfectly still, for probably an hour. The good news is that even though this has been a difficult night and day, her vital signs, etc., have been very good, and her doctors are pleased with her progress. She ran fever during the night, but today that is gone, and we are extremely thankful for that. That caused a bit of concern during the night. Bethany is also steadily improving, and for that, we are very grateful!

If you would like to get me riled up at any given moment, you begin a conversation with me about any of the following topics (in no particular order):
1. Continued tolerance, understanding, and general open-mindedness concerning homosexuals- particularly in the LDS church.
2. Pornography, modesty and the "good girls don't" mentality.
3. Who Katniss ends up with at the end of The Hunger Games.
4. The continued use of the words "retarded" and "gay" to describe something unsavory in 2014
5. Referring to a main character on a tv show or movie as "the black guy/girl." (Examples: "The black lady from Scandal" or "The black guy on Psych").
6. The notion that global warming is made up.
7. Any reason given to not put your shopping cart away.
I'm sure there is more that I'm forgetting, but off the top of my head those are the main things you won't be able to get me to shut about if they're brought up.
What are yours? Poor Grammar (sorry)? The ending of How I Met Your Mother (I heard this was a big deal)? I'd love to hear them!

Your back is key to living your life and doing the important things each day. Without good chiropractic care, eventually your back will give out on you. It seems like as we age, our backs become susceptible to greater injury. Taking good care of it is important, and the following article is here to do just that.
If you are looking for a chiropractor, conduct telephone interviews with them before going to them in person. Keep in mind that potentially a majority of chiropractors engage in practices that are not scientifically backed. Talk to them on the phone to gauge their personal attitudes and patterns of practice.
If you are visiting a chiropractor regularly, track your progress over the first five sessions. If you aren't seeing any improvement at all after just these first few visits, you are probably wasting your time. Look for another caregiver and then give them a try of at least three sessions.
If you feel tense prior to getting chiropractic care, ask your doctor for some heating pads or warm towels. These should be placed on your back for five to ten minutes prior to treatment. This will loosen up your back, making it much more amenable to the stretching the doctor will put it through.
Chiropractic care is one of the most effective methods of treating subluxation. When a vertebra is subluxated, the discs and vertebra shift and tip from one side to another. This causes the entire spine to bend and curve. Early chiropractic treatment can be very helpful in correcting this condition and avoiding surgery.
Do not be afraid to ask about discounts. It is not unusual for chiropractic treatment to require a number of visits. They can even be a couple times per week for several months. Costs can really add up fast. Doctor's offices might have multiple visit discounts that can make things more affordable.
If you feel any sort of pain when you are with the chiropractor, be sure to let the doctor know immediately. Your chiropractor may be an expert, but it's your body. You need to let the doctor know if something that's happening is causing an unexpected amount of pain.
If you decide to use a chiropractor, check their references before you even make an appointment. Even though most chiropractors really want to help you, there are a few who try to sell more treatments to you than you actually need. Read reviews online, and ask your doctor for recommendations.
Don't be surprised if the chiropractor requires x-rays prior to any treatment. Quality chiropractors always require these. They need to make sure that whatever is wrong with your back is not something that could be made worse with the wrong treatment. An x-ray will reveal the problem areas so that your chiropractor can give you the best possible treatment.
After reading the above article, you should have a good idea on what you can do to help minimize your chances of falling victim to a serious back injury. It all starts with good chiropractic care, along with solid advice and tips like what you read here. Stick to them for good back health now, and into the future!

On The Road Again - The WordPosted in News on February 16, 2015
Man, it's been a busy month. What with the Hall of Fame ride, the LOORRS race at Elsinore, hitting Camp RZR then straight to SEMA followed a couple of day later with the two-lane Detour of Death getting to and from Ensenada and the Baja 1000; it was hectic, to say the least. I'm only sorry I didn't get a chance to get to Huckfest this year. It looked like a blast.
Still, I wouldn't have it any other way.
Getting a chance to do all these things is a dream come true for us here at Dirt Sports + Off-Road. As true dirt enthusiasts, we're always seeking out the best events and feature vehicles to bring to you, and being able to get behind the scenes for the whole story is just the cherry on top. I consider myself a photographer who can write (though some may question that ability), so being able to photograph such diverse events like the Baja 1000 and Camp RZR in one month is a blast.
We enjoy the chance of meeting the rest of you enthusiasts as well. Sure, we hang around the big-name race guys, but when we see them at a race, they are all business and don't have much time for BS'ing. We pretty much need to be all-business too, as things are happening fast and there's not much time to chitchat anyway.
When we see folks at events like the HOF Rally and Camp RZR—folks out having fun in the dirt—that's when we really have a chance to take some time and enjoy ourselves. I'm heading out tomorrow morning to go on the King Shocks Family Fun Run, and I can't wait. I just hope the old Exploder holds up.
I'll tell you all about it soon. Until then, have fun, be safe, and we'll see you next month.

Casa Azul Hotel Monumento Historico
Casa Azul Hotel Monumento Historico is a magnificent house located a few steps away from historically significant avenue Paseo de Montejo. Built in the 19th century, the hotel was declared a Historical Monument for its superb preservation and restoration of its original architecture. The residence has become an icon showcasing the rich heritage of the Porfirian age in Yucatan of the 18th and 19th centuries. Under the dictatorship of Porfirio Diaz, the boom of the henequen plant, a variety of agave, gave the area a new source of wealth and prosperity to the community which celebrated with the construction of several new beautifully designed properties, including the Casa Azul Hotel Monumento Historico.
Casa Azul Hotel Monumento Historico, a member of Historic Hotels Worldwide since 2012, dates back to the 19th century.

My baby sleeps about 3 hours a day until night time when she sleeps longer. Is there a guide to how many hours of sleep a baby should get?"
Sleep is vital for a baby's brain development: recent studies have found that babies who sleep for more than 30 minutes every four hours learn more quickly and better retain information.
When it comes to total time spent sleeping a day, babies under the age of 3 months usually vary from 14 to 19 hours out of every 24, but in the form of naps instead of the night-and-day sleep cycles of adults. This can make it seem like the baby sleeps a lot less than she actually does.
Also it can be tough to tell when a baby is really sleeping, even for researchers who study sleep for a living. Unlike children or adults, newborns have a unique long transitional phase to their sleep/wake cycles, when they're not completely awake or asleep. You'll know your baby is in this phase when she's feeding or sucking with her eyes closed and only her mouth moving, or when you're rocking her but then here eyes snap wide open if you try to put her down! It's also not unusual for babies to have a more-wakeful day or two, then sleep a lot the next day.
It can help to think of baby's sleep patterns more as six four-hour cycles every 24, for example, bedtime at 7 p.m., feeds at 11 p.m. and 3 a.m., up for the day at 7 a.m., naps at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. and then bedtime. Infants aren't robots, of course, and you can't force a baby to sleep, but you can offer her the space and time. If you track her patterns over time you'll start to see trends emerge and set up a real schedule, and as your baby approaches her first birthday you'll likely find afternoon naps get shorter and that the overnight wakeup feeds phase out.
So bottom line, of your baby is cheerful and alert while she's awake you'll know she's well rested. If you think your baby is sleeping too much or too little and she's cranky and lethargic when awake, keep track of when she sleeps for for a day or two and then talk to your pediatrician about your concerns.

A monthlong environmental inspection of seven provincial regions, including Shanxi and Liaoning provinces and Tianjin, found more than 28,900 pollution problems and led to the detention of 355 people by the time it finished on Sunday, authorities reported on Tuesday.
It was the third round of inspections headed by the State Council, China"s Cabinet, since 2016. Additional inspections will be conducted this year around the country. Among the provincial regions to be covered in the next rounds are Zhejiang and Sichuan provinces.
In the most recent inspection, central government inspectors received 35,523 reports from the public, of which some 82 percent, or 28,966 reports, were found to involve pollution problems and transferred to the involved provinces and city governments for further investigation, the Ministry of Environmental Protection said on Tuesday.
"The governments involved have required more than 20,000 polluting companies to halt excessive levels of pollution and improve technologies and equipment. The total fine has reached 336 million yuan ($49 million)," the ministry said in a statement.
It said the 355 people detained were accused of contaminating the environment, and some received administrative detention while others involved more serious cases.
Also, 4,018 officials from the governments in those areas were held accountable for their ineffective performance in protecting the environment, it added.
In the seven inspected regions - Liaoning, Shanxi, Fujian, Anhui, Hunan and Guizhou provinces and Tianjin - it was Shanxi, where coal and heavy industries are a key economic pillar, that had 88 million yuan in fines, the largest amount for one region, the ministry said.
High-level environmental inspections are especially effective because the inspectors have sufficient clout to talk directly with provincial leaders about the problems, unlike inspectors led by the ministry, officials said.
Chai Fahe, a researcher at the Chinese Research Academy of Environmental Sciences, said previous inspection rounds pushed provinces to deal with long-standing problems such as upgrading the industrial structure to control the expansion of heavily polluting industries in Hebei province.
Hebei, the first province to be put under central environmental inspection, in January 2016, has stopped releasing reports on the estimated economic costs of environmental protection since the environment has been given a priority position in the province.
The environmental improvements made by the province following the central inspections were listed among its achievements last year.

Introducing: The Scramdeezio
A Budo Breakfast for champions!
This slow burn, high protein, flavour packed breakfast mashup will keep you feeling energized throughout the morning while your body uses the valuable fats and proteins to repair and rebuild muscle.
One of the most interesting nutrients found in eggs is choline - A very important nutrient when it comes to the body being able to detoxify itself. It provides "methyl groups" which sticks to toxins and foreign materials, allowing the body to transport, or transport & process these materials out of the body.
There is also good news for you martial artist who have a tendency to sustain the odd concussion from time to time: There is ongoing research into choline being an effective treatment for concussion and brain injuries.
The crazy part is, the body cannot produce enough choline on its on own, so it must be consumed from outside food sources. So, for plebs that don't eat the Scramdeezio on the regular, we've got some bad news: You might be running a program that is choline deficient. Why is that bad news? Diets that are choline deficient have been linked higher rates of DNA damage & cancer. The good news is, you can get up to 1/3rd of your daily intake of choline in just one egg! So scram-on my friend, scram-on!
WHat you need:
1) 4-5 Organic Eggs
2) Half of an Avocado
4) Pinch of Pink Salt
4) Splash of Organic Salsa
Step 1
Butter up a non-stick pan, heat it up, crack your eggs, and be extra careful not to bust the yolk!
Step 2
Grab a lid, toss a splash of water in the pan, and steam the top of the eggs so there are no runny whites:
Step 3
Crack your salt, pour some salsa over the eggs, and mash it all up with a spatula:
Step 4
Grab a nicely ripened avocado and split 'er down the middle:
Step 5
Start cutting thin lines vertically & horizontally across the avocado, and squeeze it into the pan:
Step 6
Serve and enjoy!!
SCRAMDEEZEY Foe Sheezey!

Rebecca Morris
I started training in martial arts due to a few factors — the main one being that I was training in a standard gym, lifting weights and getting seriously bored. I wanted something to focus on (I've always worked better when aiming towards a goal) and always loved the idea of getting in the ring or octagon and fighting. Not the average wish of a 25 year old girl from North West England, I know.
To me there's nothing more exciting and primal than two people fighting for sport.
That was always my outlook — but then when I started training I realized how much skill and dedication is required to get to those stages. I tried out a few clubs, but when I found the right one I instantly became hooked. I took up kickboxing and thrived off the training sessions we had. Gained my white belt within a month of beginning and got a thirst for learning more.
My coach then introduced me to Kempo
I was fascinated by the whole image of the black gi, the katas and then the weapons. I'm currently a white belt, but have done so much experimenting with weapons as I absolutely love them. At the moment I'm practicing lots of Hanbo stuff with my coach, such as katas, defences against attacks and other weapons — and I'm loving it.
Without sounding cliche, martial arts really does dominate my life now.
Everything I do leans towards it — food, sleep, training, even my social life, and I wouldn't change that for anything. When I'm approaching a grading I'm very careful about all of those things, because if I failed I would be the only person to blame. Working full time and keeping this up was really tough, but I was so passionate about my training that the rewards always made it worth while; and my reward could be as simple as feeling those endorphins after a heavy session.
I love that it's a constant journey that will never end, and that I'll always have something new to aim towards. I can't wait for the next challenge.

In order to get excited about working out and get motivated, we need to train our minds to like it. It comes down to adjusting your frame of mind and adopting a "can do" attitude. Don't let negativity enter you mind or even become an option. It's similar to when you make other commitments that you know you'll stick to. We all have commitments, when you have to pick up your son or daughter from school for example or an important meeting at work. Think of even simpler, every day activities like brushing your teeth, or taking a shower. Some people simply like to work out, it's important to convince your mind that you love to workout. Even if it's not true in the beginning, you can trick your mind into thinking you love it. And then action will follow! I'm one of those blessed ones that actually enjoys working out, exercising and breaking a sweat. I was lucky to inherit that rare gene. However, I sometimes struggle with building up energy to stay committed so I came up with some tools that help me motivate myself to go on and stay on track. Some days are easier than others but for the most part these tools work. First of all, envision a fit YOU, no matter what stage you are in, no matter where you are in terms of meeting your goals. Love yourself today as you are today, it's so important to accept yourself now. Your body and mind will appreciate it and work in a cohesive, unified front with you to meet your ultimate objectives. Exclude all negative thoughts, and think only "feel good" thoughts even if you don't believe them at this time, even if they are pretend, even if someone else is telling you differently. You stick to positive thoughts like,
- I'm going to feel energized when I'm done working out
- I know exercising is good for me
- It feels so good to take care of myself
- I love the glow I'll have after my workout
- I love living a healthy lifestyle
These are some examples of positive affirmations and statements. You will come up with your own customized ones too. If any negative thoughts come to mind as you repeat these positive thoughts, simply say: No thanks. And continue to focus on goodness, happiness, positive, joy, self love, etc. It may have been a while since you have focused on good, warm, joyful thoughts, so at first your mind may bring old thoughts back, that may be lurking in your subconscious back to your conscious, but don't be afraid to kick them right out and move on with your new soulful positive self!
Find affirmations that feel good to you, personalize them and make them exciting. Make a decision today to make it part of your life, a lifestyle that you know will keep you healthy and full of energy.
What activity or activities you select can be totally customized by you. I love harder workouts, so I selected spin and kickboxing, occasional weights and elliptical. But everyone is different and all of us have our own preferences. There are so many kinds of workouts today that they can accommodate everyone's needs and styles. Investigate your options, go online, check out your local gyms or exercise studios, take a look at fitness magazines, there are countless resources for you to peruse. If you like a softer workout, walking may be a good start, perhaps a light yoga class that focuses on stretching, or light swimming. You want to definitely find your niche and then find ways to modify your workouts so they don't became monotonous. The goal is to stay motivated, excited and committed.

November Faceless Frenzy 2013 - This is like a baked macaroni and cheese with meat. It bakes up quite firm because of the eggs and I believe, the noodle choice. We all enjoyed this for dinner,...
It was good. This has a lot of potential. It's definitely a "pie." Almost quiche-like because of the eggs. My problem was that is was a little dry. Maybe 45 mins is too long? Maybe try skipping...
Followed recipe but added more cheddar cheese. I forgot to cover it, but only cooked for 30 mins. Don't forget to cover it, top layer/edges were dry/crunchy noodles. Husband loved this, kids and...


text: Vitamin B 12 Deficiency: A nutritional condition produced by a deficiency of VITAMIN B 12 in the diet, characterized by megaloblastic anemia. Since vitamin B 12 is not present in plants, humans have obtained their supply from animal products, from multivitamin supplements in the form of pills, and as additives to food preparations. A wide variety of neuropsychiatric abnormalities is also seen in vitamin B 12 deficiency and appears to be due to an undefined defect involving myelin synthesis. (From Cecil Textbook of Medicine, 19th ed, p848)Vitamin B 6: VITAMIN B 6 refers to several PICOLINES (especially PYRIDOXINE; PYRIDOXAL; & PYRIDOXAMINE) that are efficiently converted by the body to PYRIDOXAL PHOSPHATE which is a coenzyme for synthesis of amino acids, neurotransmitters (serotonin, norepinephrine), sphingolipids, and aminolevulinic acid. During transamination of amino acids, pyridoxal phosphate is transiently converted into PYRIDOXAMINE phosphate. Although pyridoxine and Vitamin B 6 are still frequently used as synonyms, especially by medical researchers, this practice is erroneous and sometimes misleading (EE Snell; Ann NY Acad Sci, vol 585 pg 1, 1990). Most of vitamin B6 is eventually degraded to PYRIDOXIC ACID and excreted in the urine.Vitamin A: Retinol and derivatives of retinol that play an essential role in metabolic functioning of the retina, the growth of and differentiation of epithelial tissue, the growth of bone, reproduction, and the immune response. Dietary vitamin A is derived from a variety of CAROTENOIDS found in plants. It is enriched in the liver, egg yolks, and the fat component of dairy products.Vitamins: Organic substances that are required in small amounts for maintenance and growth, but which cannot be manufactured by the human body.Vitamin D: A vitamin that includes both CHOLECALCIFEROLS and ERGOCALCIFEROLS, which have the common effect of preventing or curing RICKETS in animals. It can also be viewed as a hormone since it can be formed in SKIN by action of ULTRAVIOLET RAYS upon the precursors, 7-dehydrocholesterol and ERGOSTEROL, and acts on VITAMIN D RECEPTORS to regulate CALCIUM in opposition to PARATHYROID HORMONE.Vitamin E: A generic descriptor for all TOCOPHEROLS and TOCOTRIENOLS that exhibit ALPHA-TOCOPHEROL activity. By virtue of the phenolic hydrogen on the 2H-1-benzopyran-6-ol nucleus, these compounds exhibit varying degree of antioxidant activity, depending on the site and number of methyl groups and the type of ISOPRENOIDS.Vitamin A Deficiency: A nutritional condition produced by a deficiency of VITAMIN A in the diet, characterized by NIGHT BLINDNESS and other ocular manifestations such as dryness of the conjunctiva and later of the cornea (XEROPHTHALMIA). Vitamin A deficiency is a very common problem worldwide, particularly in developing countries as a consequence of famine or shortages of vitamin A-rich foods. In the United States it is found among the urban poor, the elderly, alcoholics, and patients with malabsorption. (From Cecil Textbook of Medicine, 19th ed, p1179)Vitamin B 12: A cobalt-containing coordination compound produced by intestinal micro-organisms and found also in soil and water. Higher plants do not concentrate vitamin B 12 from the soil and so are a poor source of the substance as compared with animal tissues. INTRINSIC FACTOR is important for the assimilation of vitamin B 12.Vitamin B Complex: A group of water-soluble vitamins, some of which are COENZYMES.Vitamin D Deficiency: A nutritional condition produced by a deficiency of VITAMIN D in the diet, insufficient production of vitamin D in the skin, inadequate absorption of vitamin D from the diet, or abnormal conversion of vitamin D to its bioactive metabolites. It is manifested clinically as RICKETS in children and OSTEOMALACIA in adults. (From Cecil Textbook of Medicine, 19th ed, p1406)Pyridoxine: The 4-methanol form of VITAMIN B 6 which is converted to PYRIDOXAL PHOSPHATE which is a coenzyme for synthesis of amino acids, neurotransmitters (serotonin, norepinephrine), sphingolipids, aminolevulinic acid. Although pyridoxine and Vitamin B 6 are still frequently used as synonyms, especially by medical researchers, this practice is erroneous and sometimes misleading (EE Snell; Ann NY Acad Sci, vol 585 pg 1, 1990).Vitamin B Deficiency: A condition due to deficiency in any member of the VITAMIN B COMPLEX. These B vitamins are water-soluble and must be obtained from the diet because they are easily lost in the urine. Unlike the lipid-soluble vitamins, they cannot be stored in the body fat.Transcobalamins: A group of carrier proteins which bind with VITAMIN B12 in the BLOOD and aid in its transport. Transcobalamin I migrates electrophoretically as a beta-globulin, while transcobalamins II and III migrate as alpha-globulins.Folic Acid: A member of the vitamin B family that stimulates the hematopoietic system. It is present in the liver and kidney and is found in mushrooms, spinach, yeast, green leaves, and grasses (POACEAE). Folic acid is used in the treatment and prevention of folate deficiencies and megaloblastic anemia.Vitamin E Deficiency: A nutritional condition produced by a deficiency of VITAMIN E in the diet, characterized by posterior column and spinocerebellar tract abnormalities, areflexia, ophthalmoplegia, and disturbances of gait, proprioception, and vibration. In premature infants vitamin E deficiency is associated with hemolytic anemia, thrombocytosis, edema, intraventricular hemorrhage, and increasing risk of retrolental fibroplasia and bronchopulmonary dysplasia. An apparent inborn error of vitamin E metabolism, named familial isolated vitamin E deficiency, has recently been identified. (Cecil Textbook of Medicine, 19th ed, p1181)Cobalt Isotopes: Stable cobalt atoms that have the same atomic number as the element cobalt, but differ in atomic weight. Co-59 is a stable cobalt isotope.Vitamin K 1: A family of phylloquinones that contains a ring of 2-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone and an isoprenoid side chain. Members of this group of vitamin K 1 have only one double bond on the proximal isoprene unit. Rich sources of vitamin K 1 include green plants, algae, and photosynthetic bacteria. Vitamin K1 has antihemorrhagic and prothrombogenic activity.Folic Acid Deficiency: A nutritional condition produced by a deficiency of FOLIC ACID in the diet. Many plant and animal tissues contain folic acid, abundant in green leafy vegetables, yeast, liver, and mushrooms but destroyed by long-term cooking. Alcohol interferes with its intermediate metabolism and absorption. Folic acid deficiency may develop in long-term anticonvulsant therapy or with use of oral contraceptives. This deficiency causes anemia, macrocytic anemia, and megaloblastic anemia. It is indistinguishable from vitamin B 12 deficiency in peripheral blood and bone marrow findings, but the neurologic lesions seen in B 12 deficiency do not occur. (Merck Manual, 16th ed)Vitamin B 6 Deficiency: A nutritional condition produced by a deficiency of VITAMIN B 6 in the diet, characterized by dermatitis, glossitis, cheilosis, and stomatitis. Marked deficiency causes irritability, weakness, depression, dizziness, peripheral neuropathy, and seizures. In infants and children typical manifestations are diarrhea, anemia, and seizures. Deficiency can be caused by certain medications, such as isoniazid.Vitamin K Deficiency: A nutritional condition produced by a deficiency of VITAMIN K in the diet, characterized by an increased tendency to hemorrhage (HEMORRHAGIC DISORDERS). Such bleeding episodes may be particularly severe in newborn infants. (From Cecil Textbook of Medicine, 19th ed, p1182)Dietary Supplements: Products in capsule, tablet or liquid form that provide dietary ingredients, and that are intended to be taken by mouth to increase the intake of nutrients. Dietary supplements can include macronutrients, such as proteins, carbohydrates, and fats; and/or MICRONUTRIENTS, such as VITAMINS; MINERALS; and PHYTOCHEMICALS.Ascorbic Acid: A six carbon compound related to glucose. It is found naturally in citrus fruits and many vegetables. Ascorbic acid is an essential nutrient in human diets, and necessary to maintain connective tissue and bone. Its biologically active form, vitamin C, functions as a reducing agent and coenzyme in several metabolic pathways. Vitamin C is considered an antioxidant.Anemia, Pernicious: A megaloblastic anemia occurring in children but more commonly in later life, characterized by histamine-fast achlorhydria, in which the laboratory and clinical manifestations are based on malabsorption of vitamin B 12 due to a failure of the gastric mucosa to secrete adequate and potent intrinsic factor. (Dorland, 27th ed)Methylmalonic Acid: A malonic acid derivative which is a vital intermediate in the metabolism of fat and protein. Abnormalities in methylmalonic acid metabolism lead to methylmalonic aciduria. This metabolic disease is attributed to a block in the enzymatic conversion of methylmalonyl CoA to succinyl CoA.Cholecalciferol: Derivative of 7-dehydroxycholesterol formed by ULTRAVIOLET RAYS breaking of the C9-C10 bond. It differs from ERGOCALCIFEROL in having a single bond between C22 and C23 and lacking a methyl group at C24.Pyridoxal Phosphate: This is the active form of VITAMIN B 6 serving as a coenzyme for synthesis of amino acids, neurotransmitters (serotonin, norepinephrine), sphingolipids, aminolevulinic acid. During transamination of amino acids, pyridoxal phosphate is transiently converted into pyridoxamine phosphate (PYRIDOXAMINE).Thiamine: 3-((4-Amino-2-methyl-5-pyrimidinyl)methyl)-5-(2- hydroxyethyl)-4-methylthiazolium chloride.Riboflavin: Nutritional factor found in milk, eggs, malted barley, liver, kidney, heart, and leafy vegetables.

It occurs in the free form only in the retina of the eye, in whey, and in urine; its principal forms in tissues and cells are as FLAVIN MONONUCLEOTIDE and FLAVIN-ADENINE DINUCLEOTIDE.Intrinsic Factor: A glycoprotein secreted by the cells of the GASTRIC GLANDS that is required for the absorption of VITAMIN B 12 (cyanocobalamin). Deficiency of intrinsic factor leads to VITAMIN B 12 DEFICIENCY and ANEMIA, PERNICIOUS.Deficiency Diseases: A condition produced by dietary or metabolic deficiency. The term includes all diseases caused by an insufficient supply of essential nutrients, i.e., protein (or amino acids), vitamins, and minerals. It also includes an inadequacy of calories.

(Dorland, 27th ed)Receptors, Calcitriol: Proteins, usually found in the cytoplasm, that specifically bind calcitriol, migrate to the nucleus, and regulate transcription of specific segments of DNA with the participation of D receptor interacting proteins (called DRIP). Vitamin D is converted in the liver and kidney to calcitriol and ultimately acts through these receptors.Vitamin D-Binding Protein: An alpha-globulin found in the plasma of man and other vertebrates. It is apparently synthesized in the liver and carries vitamin D and its metabolites through the circulation and mediates the response of tissue. It is also known as group-specific component (Gc). Gc subtypes are used to determine specific phenotypes and gene frequencies. These data are employed in the classification of population groups, paternity investigations, and in forensic medicine.Thiamine Deficiency: A nutritional condition produced by a deficiency of THIAMINE in the diet, characterized by anorexia, irritability, and weight loss. Later, patients experience weakness, peripheral neuropathy, headache, and tachycardia. In addition to being caused by a poor diet, thiamine deficiency in the United States most commonly occurs as a result of alcoholism, since ethanol interferes with thiamine absorption. In countries relying on polished rice as a dietary staple, BERIBERI prevalence is very high. (From Cecil Textbook of Medicine, 19th ed, p1171)Pyridoxal: The 4-carboxyaldehyde form of VITAMIN B 6 which is converted to PYRIDOXAL PHOSPHATE which is a coenzyme for synthesis of amino acids, neurotransmitters (serotonin, norepinephrine), sphingolipids, aminolevulinic acid.Malabsorption Syndromes: General term for a group of MALNUTRITION syndromes caused by failure of normal INTESTINAL ABSORPTION of nutrients.Hyperhomocysteinemia: Condition in which the plasma levels of homocysteine and related metabolites are elevated (>13.9 µmol/l). Hyperhomocysteinemia can be familial or acquired. Development of the acquired hyperhomocysteinemia is mostly associated with vitamins B and/or folate deficiency (e.g., PERNICIOUS ANEMIA, vitamin malabsorption). Familial hyperhomocysteinemia often results in a more severe elevation of total homocysteine and excretion into the urine, resulting in HOMOCYSTINURIA. Hyperhomocysteinemia is a risk factor for cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases, osteoporotic fractures and complications during pregnancy.alpha 1-Antitrypsin Deficiency: Deficiency of the protease inhibitor ALPHA 1-ANTITRYPSIN that manifests primarily as PULMONARY EMPHYSEMA and LIVER CIRRHOSIS.Nutritional Status: State of the body in relation to the consumption and utilization of nutrients.Pyridoxal Kinase: An enzyme that catalyzes reversibly the phosphorylation of pyridoxal in the presence of ATP with the formation of pyridoxal 5-phosphate and ADP.

It is formed primarily in the kidney by enzymatic hydroxylation of 25-hydroxycholecalciferol (CALCIFEDIOL). Its production is stimulated by low blood calcium levels and parathyroid hormone. Calcitriol increases intestinal absorption of calcium and phosphorus, and in concert with parathyroid hormone increases bone resorption.Calcifediol: The major circulating metabolite of VITAMIN D3. It is produced in the LIVER and is the best indicator of the body's vitamin D stores. It is effective in the treatment of RICKETS and OSTEOMALACIA, both in azotemic and non-azotemic patients. Calcifediol also has mineralizing properties.IgA Deficiency: A dysgammaglobulinemia characterized by a deficiency of IMMUNOGLOBULIN A.Anemia, Iron-Deficiency: Anemia characterized by decreased or absent iron stores, low serum iron concentration, low transferrin saturation, and low hemoglobin concentration or hematocrit value.

To produce knockouts, using RECOMBINANT DNA technology, the normal DNA sequence of the gene being studied is altered to prevent synthesis of a normal gene product. Cloned cells in which this DNA alteration is successful are then injected into mouse EMBRYOS to produce chimeric mice. The chimeric mice are then bred to yield a strain in which all the cells of the mouse contain the disrupted gene. Knockout mice are used as EXPERIMENTAL ANIMAL MODELS for diseases (DISEASE MODELS, ANIMAL) and to clarify the functions of the genes.Bhutan: A kingdom in the eastern Himalayas on the northeast border of India, bounded on the north by Tibet, on the east by Assam, on the south by Assam and West Bengal, and on the west by Sikkim and Tibet.

The compound is involved in the regulation of calcium metabolism, alkaline phosphatase activity, and enhances the calcemic effect of CALCITRIOL.RNA, Messenger: RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.Neural Tube Defects: Congenital malformations of the central nervous system and adjacent structures related to defective neural tube closure during the first trimester of pregnancy generally occurring between days 18-29 of gestation. Ectodermal and mesodermal malformations (mainly involving the skull and vertebrae) may occur as a result of defects of neural tube closure. (From Joynt, Clinical Neurology, 1992, Ch55, pp31-41)Nutrition Surveys: A systematic collection of factual data pertaining to the nutritional status of a human population within a given geographic area. Data from these surveys are used in preparing NUTRITION ASSESSMENTS.Factor X Deficiency: Blood coagulation disorder usually inherited as an autosomal recessive trait, though it can be acquired.

Scurvy is characterized by bleeding in any tissue, weakness, ANEMIA, spongy gums, and a brawny induration of the muscles of the calves and legs.Lactobacillus: A genus of gram-positive, microaerophilic, rod-shaped bacteria occurring widely in nature. Its species are also part of the many normal flora of the mouth, intestinal tract, and vagina of many mammals, including humans. Pathogenicity from this genus is rare.Factor XIII Deficiency: A deficiency of blood coagulation FACTOR XIII or fibrin stabilizing factor (FSF) that prevents blood clot formation and results in a clinical hemorrhagic diathesis.Retinol-Binding Proteins: Proteins which bind with RETINOL. The retinol-binding protein found in plasma has an alpha-1 mobility on electrophoresis and a molecular weight of about 21 kDa. The retinol-protein complex (MW=80-90 kDa) circulates in plasma in the form of a protein-protein complex with prealbumin. The retinol-binding protein found in tissue has a molecular weight of 14 kDa and carries retinol as a non-covalently-bound ligand.Leukocyte-Adhesion Deficiency Syndrome: Rare, autosomal recessive disorder caused by deficiency of the beta 2 integrin receptors (RECEPTORS, LEUKOCYTE-ADHESION) comprising the CD11/CD18 family of glycoproteins. The syndrome is characterized by abnormal adhesion-dependent functions, especially defective tissue emigration of neutrophils, leading to recurrent infection.Choline Deficiency: A condition produced by a deficiency of CHOLINE in animals. Choline is known as a lipotropic agent because it has been shown to promote the transport of excess fat from the liver under certain conditions in laboratory animals. Combined deficiency of choline (included in the B vitamin complex) and all other methyl group donors causes liver cirrhosis in some animals. Unlike compounds normally considered as vitamins, choline does not serve as a cofactor in enzymatic reactions. (From Saunders Dictionary & Encyclopedia of Laboratory Medicine and Technology, 1984)Ornithine Carbamoyltransferase Deficiency Disease: An inherited urea cycle disorder associated with deficiency of the enzyme ORNITHINE CARBAMOYLTRANSFERASE, transmitted as an X-linked trait and featuring elevations of amino acids and ammonia in the serum.

Included under this heading are a broad variety of acid forms, salts, esters, and amides that contain the carboxyethane structure.Amino Acid Sequence: The order of amino acids as they occur in a polypeptide chain. This is referred to as the primary structure of proteins. It is of fundamental importance in determining PROTEIN CONFORMATION.Adrenal Hyperplasia, Congenital: A group of inherited disorders of the ADRENAL GLANDS, caused by enzyme defects in the synthesis of cortisol (HYDROCORTISONE) and/or ALDOSTERONE leading to accumulation of precursors for ANDROGENS. Depending on the hormone imbalance, congenital adrenal hyperplasia can be classified as salt-wasting, hypertensive, virilizing, or feminizing. Defects in STEROID 21-HYDROXYLASE; STEROID 11-BETA-HYDROXYLASE; STEROID 17-ALPHA-HYDROXYLASE; 3-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3-HYDROXYSTEROID DEHYDROGENASES); TESTOSTERONE 5-ALPHA-REDUCTASE; or steroidogenic acute regulatory protein; among others, underlie these disorders.Pedigree: The record of descent or ancestry, particularly of a particular condition or trait, indicating individual family members, their relationships, and their status with respect to the trait or condition.Osteomalacia: Disorder caused by an interruption of the mineralization of organic bone matrix leading to bone softening, bone pain, and weakness. It is the adult form of rickets resulting from disruption of VITAMIN D; PHOSPHORUS; or CALCIUM homeostasis.Eubacterium: A genus of gram-positive, rod-shaped bacteria found in cavities of man and animals, animal and plant products, infections of soft tissue, and soil.

Am I the only one that finds it odd that MSNBC (yeah MS as in Microsoft) would use a headline of "New owner of an Xbox phone? Play these games"? I haven't heard anyone mainstream refer to Windows Phone as an Xbox phone but MSNBC is probably not the right party to stir the confusion pot. Anyway,t he article just lists a few Xbox Live games so maybe they don't know there are other games out there.

Goldman's Greg Smith Skewers Firm, Airs Dirty Laundry
Posted by Larry Doyle on March 14th, 2012 8:25 AM |
Thanks to a regular reader for sharing a New York Times editorial which will captivate Wall Street today.
Our friends at FINRA who may be faced with real backlash from the news spreading of their losing 8 hours of testimony in an arbitration case might want to buy lunch and dinner for Goldman Sachs' senior executive Greg Smith.
Perhaps I should say former senior executive Greg Smith as he admits that today will be his last day at the firm. What else does Mr. Smith have to say? A LOT and if you see smoke rising off the top of 200 West Street today it is likely the steam rising from the heads of Lloyd Blankfein, Gary Cohn, and the other chiefs at Wall Street's dominant firm.

As an array of retail giants like Amazon and Alibaba enter the local marketplace, retail innovation is imperative for bricks-and-mortar-stores to compete and bring their offerings to the forefront.
As part of a renewed push to support the local retail sector, the City of Adelaide is collaborating closely with retailers and technology businesses to come up with smart solutions to guide Adelaide businesses into the new revolution of retail.
The City of Adelaide has partnered with tech retail start-up Brauzto empower Adelaide retailers to shape a unique and immersive experience for consumers. The app uses geofencing technology to capitalise on foot traffic by sending relevant notifications to a user's phone based on a carefully curated profile. Users can create personal profiles on the app allowing them to filter products and brands they are interested in, enabling them to see local stockists and to purchase through the app with 3-hour delivery.
Lord Mayor, Martin Haese, said "Council's partnership with Brauz is another example of how we are pursuing smart technology solutions to enhance competitiveness in the City of Adelaide."
"This app will help our local businesses compete, attract and retain new customers, and offer a unique and personalised shopping experience."
The project will be piloted in the city's East End from 1 October. The East End is home to South Australia's largest boutique presence and the partnership will give businesses in the area yet another channel to draw customers in-store. Forty-nine businesses will capitalise on the opportunity of a hyper-local online presence connecting consumers with the products they want and the ability to purchase these locally.
Harvey the Label is one of the retail partners who will be embracing the Brauz partnership. The Label already boasts a significant digital presence with over 55,000 likes on Facebook and nearly 33,000 followers on Instagram. The opening of a flagship store on Rundle Street in 2017 signalled an opportunity to expand its local customer base. Head designer Mim Harvey recognises the potential for Brauz to assist in facilitating the consumer experience between the brand's physical and digital touchpoints.
"Brauz opens up another physical omnichannel for Harvey. Usually a sales apps aim is exclusively to gain online sales with bricks and mortar left behind. As digital channels expand it is great to see an app bridging the gap for digital to turn to physical or online sales," Mim said.
To find out more or to register your interest in the pilot contact Brauz on email@example.com or 03 8592 9551.
