text: Radiation sickness Definition Radiation sickness is illness and symptoms resulting from excessive exposure to ionizing radiation.There are two basic types of radiation: ionizing and nonionizing.Nonionizing radiation comes in the form of light, radio waves, microwaves and radar. This kind of radiation usually does not cause tissue damage.Ionizing radiation is radiation that produces immediate chemical effects on human tissue . X-rays, gamma rays, and particle bombardment (neutron beam, electron beam, protons, mesons, and others) give off ionizing radiation. This type of radiation can be used for medical testing and treatment, industrial and manufacturing purposes, weapons and weapons development, and more. Alternative Names Radiation poisoning; radiation injury; rad poisoning Considerations Radiation sickness results when humans (or other animals) are exposed to very large doses of ionizing radiation.Radiation exposure can occur as a single large exposure (acute), or a series of small exposures spread over time (chronic). Exposure may be accidental or intentional (as in radiation therapy).Radiation sickness is generally associated with acute exposure and has a characteristic set of symptoms that appear in an orderly fashion. Chronic exposure is usually associated with delayed medical problems such as cancer and premature aging, which may happen over a long period of time.The risk of cancer depends on the dose and begins to build up, even with very low doses. There is no "minimum threshold".Exposure from x-rays or gamma rays is measured in units of roentgens. For example:Total body exposure of 100 roentgens/rad or 1 Gray unit (Gy) causes radiation sickness.Total body exposure of 400 roentgens/rad (or 4 Gy) causes radiation sickness and death in half of the individuals who are exposed. Without medical treatment, nearly everyone who receives more than this amount of radiation will die within 30 days.100,000 roentgens/rad (1,000 Gy) causes almost immediate unconsciousness and death within an hour.The severity of symptoms and illness (acute radiation sickness) depends on the type and amount of radiation, how long you were exposed, and which part of the body was exposed. Symptoms of radiation sickness may occur immediately after exposure, or over the next few days, weeks, or months. Bone marrow and the gastrointestinal tract are especially sensitive to radiation injury. Children and babies still in the womb are more likely to be severely injured by radiation.Because it is difficult to determine the amount of radiation exposure from nuclear accidents, the best signs of the severity of the exposure are: the length of time between the exposure and the onset of symptoms, the severity of symptoms, and severity of changes in white blood cells. If a person vomits less than an hour after being exposed, that usually means the radiation dose received is very high and death may be expected.Children who receive radiation treatments or who are accidentally exposed to radiation will be treated based on their symptoms and their blood cell counts. Frequent blood studies are necessary and require a small puncture through the skin into a vein to obtain blood samples. Causes Causes include:Accidental exposure to high doses of radiation, such as radiation from a nuclear power plant accident Exposure to excessive radiation for medical treatments Symptoms You may have symptoms such as:Bleeding from the nose, mouth, gums, and rectumBloody stoolBruisingConfusionDehydrationDiarrheaFaintingFatigueFeverHair lossInflammation of exposed areas (redness, tenderness, swelling, bleeding)Mouth ulcersNausea and vomitingOpen sores on the skinSkin burns (redness, blistering)Sloughing of skinUlcers (sores) in the esophagus (food pipe), stomach or intestinesVomiting bloodWeaknessYour health care provider will advise you how best to treat these symptoms. Medicines may be prescribed to help reduce nausea, vomiting, and pain. Blood transfusions may be given for anemia (low counts of healthy red blood cells). Antibiotics are used to prevent or fight infections. First Aid Unfortunately, giving first aid to radiation victims may expose rescue personnel to radiation unless they are properly protected. Victims must be decontaminated as part of the resuscitation process so that they do not cause radiation injury to others. This may complicate the first aid and resuscitation process.Check the person's breathing and pulse.Start CPR, if necessary.Remove the person's clothing and place the items in a sealed container. This stops ongoing contamination.Vigorously wash the victim with soap and water.Dry the victim and wrap with a soft, clean blanket.Call for emergency medical help or take the person to nearest emergency medical facility if you can do so safely REPORT EXPOSURE TO EMERGENCY OFFICIALS.If symptoms occur during or after medical radiation treatments:Tell the provider or seek medical treatment.Handle affected areas gently.Treat symptoms or illnesses as recommended by the provider. Do Not DO NOT remain in area where exposure occurred.DO NOT apply ointments to burned areas.DO NOT remain in contaminated clothing.DO NOT hesitate to seek emergency medical treatment. Prevention Preventive measures include:Avoid unnecessary exposure to radiation.Persons working in radiation hazard areas should wear badges to measure their exposure level.Protective shields should always be placed over the parts of the body not being treated or studied during x-ray imaging tests or radiation therapy.

One man's loss – or in this case, injury – is another man's gain.
On Monday, striker Edson Buddle was announced as the replacement for former LA Galaxy teammate Landon Donovan on the US national team roster for the upcoming friendlies against Honduras and Ecuador.
Donovan, who stands in third on the MLS scoring chart this season, was withdrawn from the US roster after suffering a strained right quadriceps muscle in the Galaxy's 2-1 victory over Real Salt Lake on Saturday. The midfielder/forward will also miss the Galaxy's marquee match vs. the New York Red Bulls on Tuesday (8 pm ET, ESPN2).
Buddle, who left LA to join 2.Bundesliga side Ingolstadt at the end of the 2010 MLS season, currently has five goals through 10 games for the 15th-place team. He last represented the US in August, starting and going 59 minutes in a 1-1 tie against arch rivals Mexico.
The US will host CONCACAF rivals Honduras in Miami's Sun Life Stadium on Oct. 8 (6 pm ET; FOX Soccer, Univisión). Klinsmann's men will then head to Harrison, N.J., where they will play at Red Bull Arena for the first time ever when they take on Ecuador (7 pm ET; ESPN2, Univisión).
GOALKEEPERS (3): Bill Hamid (D.C.United), Tim Howard (Everton), Nick Rimando (Real Salt Lake)
DEFENDERS (7): Carlos Bocanegra (Rangers), Timmy Chandler (Nürnberg), Steve Cherundolo (Hannover 96), Oguchi Onyewu (Sporting Lisbon), Michael Orozco Fiscal (San Luis), Tim Ream (New York Red Bulls), Jonathan Spector (Birmingham City)
MIDFIELDERS (7): Kyle Beckerman (Real Salt Lake), Michael Bradley (Chievo Verona), Clint Dempsey (Fulham), Maurice Edu (Rangers), Jeff Larentowicz (Colorado Rapids), Brek Shea (FC Dallas), Danny Williams (Hoffenheim)
FORWARDS (5): Juan Agudelo (New York Red Bulls), Jozy Altidore (AZ Alkmaar), DaMarcus Beasley (Puebla), Edson Buddle (FC Ingolstadt), Teal Bunbury (Sporting Kansas City)

The carbon pollution that causes climate change isn't a distant threat, the risk to public health isn't a hypothetical, and it's clear we have a moral obligation to act.
The 12 hottest years on record have all come in the last 15 years, and 2012 was the hottest one we've ever recorded. When carbon pollutes the air, the risk of asthma attacks increases. When the Earth's atmosphere fundamentally changes, we see more heat waves, droughts, wildfires, and floods.
These events also create an economic imperative to act. When farms wash away and crops wilt, food prices go up. Last year, we saw 11 different weather disasters that each cost the United States more than $1 billion.
And confronting this challenge isn't just about preventing disaster — it's also about moving America forward in a way that creates hundreds of thousands of good, new, clean energy jobs. It's about wasting less energy, which saves money for every business and every family in America.
So the debate's over. It's time for action.
Here's what President Obama is announcing today. Check it out, then help to spread the word.
First, he's laying out a plan to cut carbon pollution in America — by working to cut pollution from power plants, protect the health of our kids, boost clean energy, and revamp our transportation sector for the 21st century. Second, he's preparing the United States for the impacts of these changes — by building stronger, safer communities and developing resources to make our country more resilient. And finally, he's leading international efforts to combat global climate change.
We've put together a graphic that breaks this all down — from the effects we're already seeing to the specific actions we're going to take to lead this fight.
No single step can reverse the effects of climate change, but that's no excuse for inaction. We have a moral obligation to leave our kids a planet that's not broken and polluted.
So here's what we're going to do:
Share President Obama's plan to make sure people in your community understand why we're taking these steps and what comes next.

text: Sinclair Lewis was born in 1885 in Sauk Centre, Minnesota, and graduated from Yale University in 1908. His college career was interrupted by various part-time occupations, including a period working at the Helicon Home Colony, Upton Sinclair's socialist experiment in New Jersey. He worked for some years as a free lance editor and journalist, during which time he published several minor novels. But with the publication of Main Street (1920), which sold half a million copies, he achieved wide recognition. This was followed by the two novels considered by many to be his finest, Babbitt (1922) and Arrowsmith (1925), which was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1926, but declined by Lewis. In 1930, following Elmer Gantry (1927) and Dodsworth (1929), Sinclair Lewis became the first American author to be awarded the Nobel Prize for distinction in world literature. This was the apogee of his literary career, and in the period from Ann Vickers (1933) to the posthumously published World So Wide (1951) Lewis wrote ten novels that reveal the progressive decline of his creative powers. From Main Street to Stockholm, a collection of his letters, was published in 1952, and The Man from Main Street, a collection of essays, in 1953. During his last years Sinclair Lewis wandered extensively in Europe, and after his death in Rome in 1951 his ashes were returned to his birthplace.

I have not posted lately, and there are a couple of reasons for that. The main reason is that my wife and I are expecting a baby any day. Not that I have blocked sports out completely – I am reading Bill Simmons The Book of Basketball – and have of course watched The Vikings and as much soccer and basketball as allowed.
Here are some quick and thoughts.
1. The Vikings look like a legit team. I know what most of are thinking, of course they do, they are 8-1. But some of the Vikings faithful will remember that the purple also had a 6-0 start in 2003 and pooped all over themselves and did not make playoffs. So yeah, I held out judgment until now.
2. I watched the Texas Longhorns Men's Basketball team play the other night. I am having an internal struggle as to which team is deeper, Texas or Michigan State. Both have experienced leaders, but Texas has a killer freshmen class. Good thing they play each other in Texas on Dec. 22nd.
3. Who has Brandon Jennings on his fantasy basketball team? That would be me. I have also received a ton of hits on this site because of this post, when I said the following about Jennings prior to the draft:
"I have not seen much of him after the high school all-star games, but I do not like what I have heard. The word is that he reminds people of Iverson, and I am not a fan of Iverson. Jennings is quick, picks the flashy over fundamental, and looks to prompt himself. Sounds like Sebsastian Telfair all over again. But he could do very well playing for Golden State."
We do not get a lot of Bucks games, but what I have seen you can sense a level of maturity that and respect for the game that was not there before. Teammates respect him, he carries himself very well in interviews, and he plays within the offense. None of which were said about him before he went to Italy.
4. The other night I had trouble sleeping because I did not get to see the end of the LA Galaxy – Houston Dynamo match-up. I am old and need sleepy-time. Now, I am not a David Beckham rub – I prefer Mr. Donovan – but I was thinking about what it would mean to soccer in the US if the Galaxy win the MLS Cup with Beckham. Everyone would forget Grant Wahl's book – Yes, that is the second sports book reference at Barnes and Noble. I have a membership. Everyone would forgive the trip to Italy, and all the other Beckham mess. Everyone would ignore the response he got from his own fans when he came back. All because he made it about the team, and they won.
Side – note: I am not sure which is worse, three different links to www.bn.com or the fact that I struggled sleeping thinking about the outcome of the game.
Breaking News: The Golden State Warriors sent Stephen Jackson to the Charlotte Bobcats. "In a deal that NBA front-office sources said came together quickly Sunday night and received the needed league approval Monday morning, Golden State sent Jackson and guard Acie Law to the Bobcats in exchange for veteran swingmen Raja Bell and Vladimir Radmanovic." from ESPN.com.
This may not seem like a big deal, but Jackson will fit in well with the Bobcats, while Charlotte did not give much up to get him. Larry Brown got a player with offensive fire power, who still works on defense. Now he has a starting line-up of Raymond Felton, Jackson, Gerald Wallace, Boris Diaw and Tyson Chandler with D.J. Augustin, Gerald Henderson, Derrick Brown coming off the bench. Can you say "Up-Grade".
And Jackson will be on his best behavior with Brown on the bench and the Greatest of All-Time – Michael Jordan in case you were wondering – not too far away.
Side – Note: I bet that is the first ever blog post that has been interrupted by breaking news. Well, at least on this blog.
5. I watched all of ten minutes of the Kentucky Blue-White game, and I already love John Wall. In that ten minutes he had two dunks, at least four assist – two lobs – and was all over the place. Kentucky coach John Calipari has done it again with another one-hit-wonder. See: Derrick Rose and Tyreke Evans. I have heard rumors that Wall is even quicker than Rose. That is unfair.

Trick or Treating in our neighborhood was Tuesday night and although I had an ample supply of candy ready to go out my front door, there weren't as many kids as expected ringing the doorbell. In thanks to 30 degree temperatures and strong winds, it's hard to blame the parents of the little ghosts and goblins. In the mean time, I guess I will be enjoying the leftover candy I had purchased, including my favorites like Peanut M&Ms, Reese Cups, and to mix up the chocolate and peanut love-fest, Swedish Fish.
For today's WIAW, I am happy to proclaim that I finally followed the October rule and made a Spooky and Healthy Halloween Treat, which can actually be two dinners in one!
Turkey Chili Stuffed 'Jack O' Lantern' Peppers
There are actually three faces in the above picture… can you spot them? Hint, one may be lurking from the couch!
Stuffed Pepper Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 small white onion, diced
4 garlic cloves, finely minced
1 pound ground turkey
1 can chili beans
1 can black beans
1 cup frozen yellow corn
1 can diced tomatoes
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 cup water
1 cup cooked quinoa (for basic quinoa recipe, click here)
4 bell pepper, yellow and/or orange
Optional, 1/2-1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Chili Ingredients
All of the Stuffed Pepper Ingredients without the quinoa and peppers, and with:
- 16 oz chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon chili powder (along with the 2 tablespoons already included with the Stuffed Pepper recipe)
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Over medium heat, add olive oil and onion to a large saucepan. Cook 3 minutes then add garlic, continue cooking an additional 3 minutes. Add turkey to pan and heat until fully cooked through.
Add chili beans, black beans, corn, tomatoes, chili powder, and water to pan. Mix ingredients and place lid on pan, bringing to a boil. Turn heat to low, and heat through 5 minutes.
At this point you can either choose to continue making a big batch of stuffed peppers, or separate the mixture by placing half the portion in a slow cooker to make Turkey Chili.
In the slow cooker along with half the turkey mixture, add the chicken broth, garlic powder and the additional 1 tablespoon of chili powder. Stir to combine.
Place lid on top and either immediately cook on High 4 hours or Low 8 hours, or place pot in refrigerator and cook another night during the week for an easy, ready to-go meal on a busy evening. Or, I also recommend that if you cook the chili immediately, then freeze the whole batch for a quick dinner option when cooking a full meal just isn't in the plans!
To continue with the Stuffed Peppers, whether it's a full batch or a half batch, add the quinoa to the turkey mixture and stir to combine.
In the mean time, cut the top off of the peppers and remove the seeds. If you are in a festive Halloween mood, carefully carve a spooky Jack O' Lantern face on the front of the peppers, and/or, cut the peppers in half. Place peppers on a baking sheet and carefully spoon turkey mixture into peppers. If wanted, top peppers with cheese, (I did half with cheese, half without).
Bake peppers for 20 minutes, then broil on high for two minutes.
There you have it! If you are looking for a last minute Halloween dinner idea, this meal would be perfect! It is simple, easy, and I wouldn't be surprised if you already have all of the ingredients on hand.
Hope you have a fun, safe and memorable Halloween!
- What are your plans for Halloween?
- Have you made any Halloween inspired treats or meals?
- What candy are you passing out to Trick or Treaters this year?

The BBC has revealed that YouView shouldn't be the main way consumers get access to BBC web content through a TV, as it believes that there should be a multitude of choice in the industry.
Speaking at the DTG Summit 2011 in London, Roly Keating, BBC director of archive content and executive editor of online, explained: "We want the broadest possible [choice] of routes to deliver connected content. YouView is one, but we want to work with the whole industry."
Beyond apps
As the BBC is a partner in YouView, an IPTV over set-top box service that has had numerous delays and will now be out in 2012, most thought that this is where the BBC will be pushing its connected content to the mainstream – but this does not seem to be entirely the case.
Although it will be a big part, the BBC is also looking closely at using its own Red Button Service alongside the EPG and also wants other manufacturers to come up with ideas for connected television.
There are numerous TV manufacturers which currently offer app access to iPlayer but Keating feels that better integration is still needed that "goes beyond VOD and apps" for internet over TV to become mass market.

The Cannes Film Festival has unveiled the poster and short animated film for its 66th edition, featuring late star Paul Newman and wife Joanne Woodward.
The poster features couple Woodward and Newman, photographed in 1963 during the shooting of A New Kind of Love, by Melville Shavelson.
They were honoured at the festival in 1958 – the year of their marriage – with the selection In Competition of Martin Ritt's The Long Hot Summer, the first film in which they appeared together.
The links between their story and that of the festival continued with a series of films directed by Newman, who cast Woodward in The Effect of the Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds (Competition – 1973) and The Glass Menagerie (Competition – 1987).
The photograph from the shoot was isolated, remastered and redesigned by the Bronx agency.
The Paris-based agency also created an animated film for the poster, to the soundtrack of a remixed version of the festival's musical theme.

From: Vivian Goldschmidt, MA
I spent most of my life in the dark about bone health…
I simply didn't know what I didn't know. And because of that, I suffered way more than I should have. From the fear to the frustration, the worry, and the guilt, the amount of pain I encountered on my journey to bone health is not something I ever want to experience again.
If you are reading this right now, then the one thing I know about you is that you are interested in the health of your bones.
And it's for people just like you that I created the Osteoporosis Reversal Program™. That's the Program that has helped so many people all over the world build stronger, healthier bones… naturally.
What's the problem with the Osteoporosis Reversal Program™?
It's not that the Program isn't powerful. That's not the case at all. In fact, I know of no other solution that is more effective for helping you achieve healthy bones, over the long term.
The problem is that most of us are dealing with such an uphill battle, that we need something to effectively "turn back the clock" and give us a fighting chance at healthy bones.
That "uphill battle" is a result of the many toxins that have accumulated in our bodies. Whether it's breathing less than clean air, drinking chemical-filled tap water or eating preservative-filled foods (aka the standard Western world diet), we've all given our bodies a huge amount of work to do to keep us alive.
This doesn't even include the prescription drugs most people take or even the damaging effects of common osteoporosis drugs. The body is a truly amazing thing. The fact that it is designed to withstand such abuse and STILL get us around is nothing short of a miracle.
But there's a secret that most people don't understand — the secret is how certain organs in the body play a major role in the health of your bones. I can remember when I first discovered this. It was the day I came across a presentation done by a doctor for NASA on the connection between the kidneys and the health of your bones.
Boy was I excited to find that study. I kind of felt like I had hit the jackpot. Because the information I found connected some dots for me about how to make a major impact on the future health of your bones.
The little known connection between your kidneys and your bones.
To give you a quick and simple summary… here's what you need to know:
The kidneys act like filters for your body. Basically, they remove waste from your body. The better they work, the "cleaner" your body is.
As you age, however, your kidneys become less effective. They do this even though you might otherwise be in great health. It's just the natural order of things that as you age your kidney function starts to decline.
As I mention almost any chance I get, the average western diet is highly acidic. That leads to a body pH that is acidic, which starts a chain reaction that can cause a huge host of problems—bone problems in particular.
Kidneys help remove some of this acidity from the body. But as you age, they become less and less able to do this. With the highly acidic western diet, they just can't keep up. So your body eventually goes elsewhere looking for ways to restore the acid-base balance.
Guess where your body looks to restore this balance? It looks to your bones. And that's when things start to go downhill. (It's not only your kidneys that play a role like this. Other research has also shown that the function of your liver to remove toxins impacts the health of your bones as well.)
As I was reading through this research, it struck me… because of this kidney/liver/bone health link, taking some of the load OFF of these vital organs could create major changes in bone health.
And that's when I decided to create something that could help you jump-start this process. Something that could help your body get rid of the toxins, lighten the load on your important vital organs, and move you in the direction of resolving the low-grade acidosis (that means your body is tipped towards the acidic end of the pH scale) that most people spend years dealing with.
The good news is that you can "fast track" your body's ability to heal itself and grow stronger bones!
Soon after I released the Osteoporosis Reversal Program™, I realized that most people needed an extra boost to clear away the years of damage their bodies have endured.
The fact is, our current world is full of chemicals and toxins that compromise our body's ability to grow healthy bones.
So if you're going to steer clear of all of the pain and suffering that comes with unhealthy bones, you have to take matters into your own hands!
And that's why I created OsteoCleanse™: The 7 Day Bone Building Accelerator.
OsteoCleanse™ is a seven-day process that flushes out the toxins in your body and sets the stage for restoring the health of your bones through the Osteoporosis Reversal Program™. If you want maximum benefit from your bone-building efforts, you simply must flush out the dangerous chemicals and toxins that are standing in your way.
If you've taken any of the common (and extremely harmful) osteoporosis drugs, OsteoCleanse™ can help to flush them out of your system. That's what it's designed to do!
OsteoCleanse™ is so effective, I recommend you repeat the process twice a year.
Now before we go further, I want to put your mind at ease. Some people get a little bit nervous when you mention the word "cleanse…" And that's for good reason!
Not all cleanses are created equal!
You may or may not have experience with natural cleanses for your body. If you've ever looked into those, you probably know that some of them sound downright crazy!
Don't worry, OsteoCleanse™ is extremely simple. I'm not going to have you fasting for 80 days or living only on cucumber juice or anything weird like that. Instead, the cleanse is made up of six simple steps that won't take you too far outside your comfort zone.
But that doesn't mean it won't be powerful!
I've broken the entire process down into 6 easy steps that you follow for seven days. That's it! You'll be amazed at what your body can achieve in a very short time, provided you give it the materials it needs to do its job.
After following OsteoCleanse™, here are just a few of the things you can look forward to:
When your body has to invest less of its energy dealing with toxins and residual chemicals, guess who gets to enjoy the extra energy… you do!
Most people have no idea just how valuable their liver and kidneys truly are. With OsteoCleanse™, you'll give your vital organs what they need to keep your body working well!
Who wouldn't want to experience a deeper and more energizing night's rest? Well prepare yourself, because many people report that that's one of the "side effects" to a process like OsteoCleanse™.
No we're not selling the Fountain of Youth here. Instead, we're removing toxins from your body. And that means that your cells can renew themselves faster, which leads to improvements in the look of your skin.
OsteoCleanse™ is definitely not designed for weight loss. That said, this IS one of the possible "side effects." But we don't imagine anyone will complain!
OsteoCleanse™ guides you step by step through the systemic cleanse which is vital to restore your kidneys' proper function and accelerates your body's natural ability to rebuild strong bones.
I've created OsteoCleanse™ as a perfect compliment to anyone pursuing bone health through the Osteoporosis Reversal Program™. It's a very simple, very powerful way to give your body an enormous head start on your journey.
But even if you have no intention of following the full Osteoporosis Reversal Program™, OsteoCleanse™ will help keep your body in a state that promotes optimum health.
5 signs your body is begging for a cleanse.
- You find you have trouble digesting foods that contain a lot of fat. As mentioned above, liver-produced bile is essential for the digestion of fats (if your gallbladder has been removed, your liver still produces bile; it simply sends it into the small intestine in a less concentrated form).
- Abdominal bloating could indicate nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, or NASH, where the liver becomes swollen and scarred. Remember, your liver takes up a lot of space in your abdomen, so if it is inflamed, it makes sense that you'd experience a feeling of fullness or bloating.
- You are unable to lose weight despite cutting calories and exercising. Your liver is a key player in metabolism regulation, so when it's unable to perform its duties, your whole system gets sluggish.
- A pot-bellied appearance can occur when the liver is swollen or otherwise dysfunctional. One of the noticeable differences between liver-related abdominal fat is that it tends to be located in the upper abdomen, higher than typical belly fat.
- Feeling hot and/or excessive sweating can result from the liver's role in hormone production going awry. Your liver has a complex communicatory relationship with the hypothalamus, the body's temperature regulation center. The hypothalamus also plays a key role in bone health by regulating bone-damaging cortisol through the release of hormones.
If any of these symptoms sound familiar, your liver is likely in need of detoxification.
OsteoCleanse™ is packed with tons of information to guide you every step of the way. You'll discover…
- A very special fruit that boosts your body's natural cleansing power. It's an alkalizing powerhouse!
- The one very unique type of meal you're going to eat during each day of your cleanse. If you've never tried this, it's going to boost the amount of benefit you get from your foods. Don't worry, I've included a ton of recipes for you! Just don't hold me responsible if you get "hooked" on this way of eating!
- An extremely simple activity (it's not exercise!) you can do to help improve the circulation of important nutrients throughout your body.
- A very powerful daily habit (it's not hard) that can help keep your kidneys and liver operating at their optimum levels.
- The special type of water you should be drinking during your cleanse. Not all liquids are created equal. And even water can work against you if you get it from the wrong source.
- The ONE most common food you should definitely avoid during the entire cleanse. Without doing this, the results of your cleanse will be far smaller than they should be.
- The two supplements that are "must haves" during each day of the cleanse. These are extremely common, and together they become a powerful helper in your journey towards bone health.
- And much, much more!
During the seven days of OsteoCleanse™, you're most likely going to be eating and drinking a bit differently than you're used to. But that's the point. And it's those differences that are going to help get your body on the fast track to bone health.

I do not have the Osteoporosis Reversal Program™. Can I still get results from OsteoCleanse™?
Yes. OsteoCleanse™ sets the stage for restoring the health of your bones by flushing out the dangerous chemicals and toxins that are standing in your way.
Do I have to buy any special or difficult-to-find foods or supplements to follow OsteoCleanse™?
Not at all. OsteoCleanse™ shows you how foods you can get at any grocery store (you might have some already in your refrigerator) and easy-to-find supplements can help your body get rid of accumulated toxins.
How do I know what to do during the cleanse?
The cleanse consists of 6 easy steps that you follow for seven days. They are clearly explained in OsteoCleanse™. You also get a shopping list and over 40 recipes!
Do I need OsteoCleanse™ even though I never took osteoporosis drugs?
Absolutely! If you want maximum benefit from your bone building efforts, you simply must flush out the dangerous chemicals and toxins that are standing in your way.
Can OsteoCleanse™ help get rid of the osteoporosis drugs I took in the past?
If you've taken any of the bisphosphonates, the commonly prescribed osteoporosis drugs, OsteoCleanse™ can help to flush them out of your system. This, in turn, will restore the natural bone-building cycle your bones need to grow denser and stronger.
I was diagnosed with osteopenia, not osteoporosis. Can OsteoCleanse™ help me?
Yes. Whether it's breathing less than clean air, drinking chemical-filled tap water or eating preservative-filled foods, your bones will benefit from cleansing the many toxins you've been exposed to. This, in turn, will improve your kidney function and help restore bone remodeling.

The last time Ray Lopez bought a suit, Lehman Brothers was still standing. Now the managing partner at Greensboro (N.C.) private equity firm Shamrock Capital Partners is ready to go wardrobe shopping again. Lopez, 43, plans to drop as much as $1,500 at Jos. A. Bank on two pinstriped suits, white dress shirts, and a handful of ties: "I feel more comfortable about the economy. Plus I'm seeing these big discounts everywhere."
Lopez represents a highly prized class of customer this holiday season: men with money to burn. According to an October survey conducted by BIGresearch, men plan to spend about 3 percent more than they did in 2009; women planned to spend about 1 percent less. The previous year, both sexes cut back.
Retailers say more men swarmed America's malls and stores during Black Friday weekend this year than last. At the Macy's Manhattan flagship, Chief Executive Officer Terry J. Lundgren saw "a lot more men than I'm used to seeing" on the day after Thanksgiving. Like Lopez, many were buying stuff for themselves, adds the Macy's chief.
Men spent an average of $100 more than women — about $417 — during Black Friday weekend, according to the National Retail Federation. They are less likely to comparison shop than women and so are less aware of price. No wonder store owners are keen to keep them shopping right through the New Year. This year guys are buying what guys usually buy: 57-inch flat-screen TVS, iPads, and game consoles. They are also loading up on apparel, and retailers are eager to win their favor. Saks is selling $395 alligator belts, Nordstrom has $325 Chukka boots, and Coach is offering $598 man bags.
Yes, women are still the Olympians of full-contact shopping; not for nothing do retail executives traditionally refer to their customers as "she." Yet even as the recovery bumps along, men seem more secure about their finances than women. A consumer survey conducted in August by WSL Strategic Retail shows that nearly half of men believe their finances would improve, while only a third of women do. Two years ago, men were about as pessimistic as women.
Retailers have stepped up their outreach to male shoppers in recent years—and not just to young, urban dandies. J.C. Penney has reorganized its menswear, grouping items by category in addition to brand. The move is designed to appeal to older men, who prefer to shop for, say, pants or sweaters rather than entire outfits or particular labels. The department store chain also added brands such as JOE Joseph Abboud and Claiborne, whose updated classics appeal to 25- to 45-year-old shoppers. Coach, too, is chasing men. Earlier this year the purveyor of luxury leather goods opened its first standalone men's store in New York and plans two more — in Boston and Paramus, N.J. — next spring. New arrivals at Coach's online men's store include $198 messenger bags and $798 down puffer jackets with fur collars.
Saks, which generates about 14 percent of its annual sales from men, is, in the words of President Ronald L. Frasch, "prudently" boosting its inventory of men's apparel. The department store is putting a particular emphasis on exclusive merchandise, such as the Saks Fifth Avenue Men's Collection, which features $795 travel blazers and $135 dress shirts.
When the stock market crashed in 2008, many of his male customers "took a breather," says Bob Mitchell, co-president of Mitchells Family of Stores, which operates five upscale clothing emporiums in Westport and Greenwich, Conn., on Long Island, N.Y., and on the West Coast. Now they're coming back. "The first weekend of holiday shopping was very positive in men's sportswear and ties," Mitchell says.
Don Guffey, whose eponymous men's store in Atlanta caters to bankers, real estate brokers, and entrepreneurs, ascribes the best sales in two years to the change of political leadership in Georgia and in Washington. His customers "believe the direction of business is going to change," says Guffey, whose store stocks Oxxford Clothes and Ravazzolo suits starting at $2,500 apiece and $135 Robert Talbott neckties. "They believe the economy has bottomed out."
The bottom line: Retailers say they're seeing more men in their stores this year. And so far, those men are spending more than women.

After bike commuting for a while, you're bound to see some of the same people regularly. The chances are slim that you'll ever know them by name, but you'll recognize them and they'll recognize you. Don't make your first impression a bad one.
What do I mean "be an ambassador?" That's crazy talk. Simply put, an ambassador is one who represents their kind to others. With a little courtesy and a lot of respect, you just might change the way people look at bicyclists, or at least bike commuters.
Be an ambassador to automobile drivers.
Cyclists stick out like a sore thumb on public roadways. I don't mean that all cyclists are visible, but they're memorable. Most automobile operators look unfavorably on sharing the road with such a quaint contraption as a bicycle. Unless you live in a place where bicycling has become immensely popular, the average driver probably sees just as many classic hot rods as cyclists on the road. When you're seen, you're noticed. When you're noticed, you're remembered the next time you're seen. It's in your best interest to leave them with a favorable impression of bicyclists.
How do you become an ambassador to automotive traffic? It's quite easy. First, obey most of the traffic laws that apply to you. If you're used to treating red lights as stop signs and stop signs as yield signs, that's fine, but make sure you're giving law-abiding motorists the right-of-way that you'd give them if you were in a car. When someone gives you the right-of-way that's legally yours (for instance, not running a stop sign to get out right in front of you, or actually stopping at an MUP crossing to let you cross), wave and let them know that their effort is appreciated. Make eye contact. Smile. Don't yell "****ING CAGER!!!" when someone gets a little too close. It's not difficult to do.
Motorcycle riders are your friends!
It may sound counter-intuitive, but motorcycle riders are the most likely motor vehicle operators to sympathize with our plight. Bikers are often just as afraid of getting a door prize, right-hooked, or run over from behind as we are. There are also a lot more motorcycles on the road than bicycles. In addition to all of the above advice, you can build a little bit of camaraderie with them by performing the "biker wave" when approaching a biker going the other direction. Point to the center line of the road with your index and middle finger together and hold it for a while. Many bikers will reciprocate the gesture to a cyclist. Don't be afraid to talk to them at stop lights. We aren't that different from them. Talking to the bikers at work -- half of whom ride high-revving, medium-displacement crotch rockets -- they can appreciate what a cyclist goes through on the road. It never hurts to be on friendly terms with motorcycle riders.
Be an ambassador to pedestrians
No, I'm not kidding. Perhaps part of your commute, or maybe all of it, takes place on a multi-use path of some sort. I don't know if you've noticed, but the people on foot don't exactly look forward to seeing a cyclist on "their" turf. Likewise, we, as cyclists don't like to be slowed down by someone who is taking up the entire path with their 50-foot-long dog leash or their 3-baby stroller. This is the same mentality we're trying to get the car drivers to abandon, nimrod! Screaming at people, excessive use of the bike horn or bell, or just plain zipping around pedestrians is no less valiant than drivers that yell at us, honk at us, or pass too closely.
Via Bike Commuters, I saw a piece in the blogosphere by a journalist who was hating on bicyclists and specifically commuters from the sounds of it. The journalist obviously hasn't been passed by ME on a multi-use path. I usually approach at a leisurely pace, say 10-11 miles per hour, and in a clear voice, proclaim "on your left" from far enough behind to give them at least 5-10 seconds to react. I don't yell it as I zip by them like some people do. As I pass, I greet them with "good evening!" or any other ice breaker. This is a sign to pedestrians that you, like them, are enjoying the trail. You're not trying to be a racer. You're not trying to set a new land speed record for human-powered vehicles. You're just like them, but on wheels.
Most of us, at some point in our lives, remember when you could just ride around the block and find someone to be friends with. People used to talk to each other, wave at each other, and not be such a-holes about life. Some experts imply that bicycles are a litmus test of a friendly community. That might be true, but it's easier to believe when cyclists act more like people instead of stoic bad-asses on their way to the finish line (or the office)
Showing some respect and kindness to others who use the same corridors that you do is a great way to earn a little street cred for not only yourself, but other cyclists as well.

Tricks of the trade: Be an ambassador
After bike commuting for a while, you're bound to see some of the same people regularly. The chances are slim that you'll ever know them by name, but you'll recognize them and they'll recognize you. Don't make your first impression a bad one.

Noah, this is clearly an inspired message. Thank you.
I often am amused at how impersonal and isolated most of us have become because of our dependence on automobiles. As an example, I had an embarrassing self-inflicted face plant just a few days ago, in front of 3 lanes of traffic waiting at a red light as I hurried to cross the street before the light changed. I'm a middle-aged guy, so I'm not as bendable as I once was. Out of all those watching from behind their steering wheels, one fellow rolled his window down 3 inches, said "Are you ok?" and promptly raised his window as I checked for cuts and scrapes, picked up my pannier and glasses and dragged my bike to the median.
In cars, we become impatient spectators. But on foot or on bikes, we can and do re-learn the basic courtesies that civil societies enjoy.
Thank you for your excellent post!

Bill, thanks for your comment.
I see so many cyclists that won't wave to me, much less wave to people walking along the sidewalk on Southwest Boulevard. I try to greet everyone who is not in a car. Sometimes it's a wave. Sometimes it's a greeting.
I don't know if the people I see walking are homeless or CEOs. I don't care. They're out and about. They can see all of me, and I can see all of them. Out here, we are no longer heads barely visible through tinted glass. Out here, we are brothers and sisters. We are real people.
So yes, I was kind of inspired. I wish more people would wave to me. I wish more people waved to each other. I wish more people sat on their front porches instead of cowering in their 60-degree meat-locker living rooms, or behind their 10-foot-tall privacy fences.
Sorry to hear about your tumble, Bill. I hope you're healing well.

Talk:Replication, Clustering, and Connection Pooling
From PostgreSQL wiki
I use pg_comparator to ship deltas on a particlar table from master to slave about once every 15 minutes:
It's extremely efficient... working even for a fairly large (2GB) table.
Works WAY better than shipping transactions when there may be hundreds of transactions on a single row and single column in that row between the time of the last sync.
Not sure where this fits into the grid... but it's a great solution and works out-of-the box with no configuration needed.
I tucked it in to the list of solutions, but left the grid alone. Earonesty 14:31, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

The grandeur and riches of the Hanseatic League in the 14th century could hardly be more vividly illustrated than in the historic centres of Stralsund and Wismar. Both towns boast virtually unchanged medieval layouts and extensively preserved architectural heritage from the brick Gothic period.
A centre of imperial and episcopal power for almost a thousand years, and often referred to as the Rome of Franconia, Bamberg stands on seven hills surrounded by beautiful countryside. Dominated by its imperial cathedral, the town is a unique and superbly maintained masterpiece of urban design, uniting medieval and baroque architecture.
Quedlinburg, which enjoys an idyllic location on the Romanesque Route , was an important royal and imperial town in the Middle Ages. With its historical layout and over 1,300 timber-framed houses from a period spanning six centuries, Quedlinburg is a fine example of a beautifully preserved medieval town. It also boasts a wealth of art nouveau architecture.
Regensburg, the town of emperors and kings, offers impressive perspectives of around 2,000 years of history. The centre has over 1,500 listed buildings; of these, 984 form the 'Old Town with Stadtamhof' ensemble, which became a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2006.
Lübeck, the undisputed Queen of the Hanseatic League, was founded in 1143 as 'the first western town on the Baltic coast' and provided a shining example for all the Hanseatic towns and cities along the Baltic. The medieval old town is one of the foremost examples of brick Gothic architecture and reflects Lübeck's illustrious past as an early centre of international trade.
This is where the roots of the modern European city of Hamburg lie: the historical Speicherstadt and Kontorhaus district with the famous Chilehaus are synonymous with Hamburg's rise as a global trading power – and are today a vibrant cultural quarter. Having survived the years without damage or alteration, this historical ensemble has now been granted UNESCO World Heritage status.

Did you think Hillary Clinton, Margaret Chase Smith or Shirley Chisholm were the first women to run for president? Think again. National Public Radio's today launching a series on "The Contenders" for presidential office with Victoria Woodhull, the first woman to declare a run for the presidency in 1872. She didn't appear on the ballot, and ran at a time when women were not allowed to do anything except in the company of a man--they couldn't vote, own businesses, or do much else.
In Woodhull's case, her home state of New York did not extend the vote to women, so she couldn't vote for herself (and was in prison on election day, in any case). The NPR story today talks about her famed "free love speech," actually a response to a question in which she advocated free love--an issue that overshadowed and marginalized her campaign in the eyes of many, prompting the engraving below of her as Satan.
Go here to find all things Victoria Woodhull, including a useful listing of books about her, some of which include the texts of her speeches. The website's FAQ notes that reporters of the day who wanted to mock her made fun of her trilling of her R's when she spoke. (Engraving of the House of Representatives Judiciary Committee receiving a deputation of female suffragists, January 11, 1871. A "lady delegate" believed to be Victoria Woodhull is reading her argument in favor of woman's voting, on the basis of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Constitutional Amendments. Published in Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper, v. 31, no. 801 (1871 Feb. 4), p. 349 and today found here in the Library of Congress collections. Caricature of Woodhull as Satan by Thomas Nast.)

Gay Jewish leaders released new research results on lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) inclusion in the Jewish world at a strategy session in New York City on February 22 and 23, co-sponsored by the Institute for Judaism and Sexual Orientation at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion and Jewish Mosaic, a managed project of Jewish Funds for Justice. The research showed deep support for the inclusion of LGBT Jews in Jewish communities.
Clergy, experts on Jewish communities and synagogue transformation, along with Christian leaders experienced in welcoming congregations programs, converged at The Jewish Community Center in Manhattan. They discussed the results of the research and strategies to help synagogues become more welcoming to LGBT people – as well as people with disabilities, those who have converted to Judaism, people from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds, and religiously interfaith families.
Prominent speakers at the strategy session included Prof. Steven M. Cohen, Research Professor of Jewish Social Policy at Hebrew Union College-JIR, Dr. Caryn Aviv, Posen Lecturer in Secular Jewish Culture with the Center for Judaic Studies at the University of Denver, and Rabbi Rebecca Alpert, PhD, noted author and professor of religion and women's studies at Temple University.
The research was based on a survey sent to over 3,000 congregations across North America with 1,221 respondents, representing nearly 1,000 unique congregations – more than 25% of all the Jewish congregations in North America. Respondents reflected all of the major Jewish movements. Response rates were particularly strong – reaching over 50% – from those synagogues affiliated with the Reform and Reconstructionist movements and with Aleph: The Alliance for Jewish Renewal. The most support for LGBT inclusion was with the Reconstructionist and Reform movements, while the Conservative movement trailed and Orthodox members were much less supportive. Regardless of their tradition, most of the 760 rabbis who responded (73%) already think their congregations do a good or excellent job welcoming gays and lesbians but very few use language in their mission statements or web sites to explicitly signal a welcome for LGBT Jews, and only 33% offer LGBT-related programs for congregants. Reflecting contemporary social and political concerns, events or activities connected to marriage equality were the most often-cited program with specific LGBT content.
"A sincere welcome for LGBT Jews must be demonstrated through visible action," said Gregg Drinkwater, executive director of Jewish Mosaic. "Although most rabbis who took our survey believe their congregations are inclusive and are likely sincere in their desire to reach out, we know from earlier research that without an explicit effort to welcome LGBT Jews, many LGBT people assume that such statements as "we welcome everyone" come with an invisible asterisk, with the hidden message that "we welcome everyone, except you," Drinkwater added. Rabbis in the study recognized the need for more learning and discussion about diversity. "Among the rabbis, 72% thought rabbinical seminaries should teach more about transgender Jews, 78% on gays and lesbians, 86% on racially and ethnically diverse Jews and 91% favor more on disabilities," Drinkwater said.
Jewish Mosaic and the Institute for Judaism and Sexual Orientation at Hebrew Union College- Jewish Institute of Religion are teaming up to launch a welcoming congregations program that will give rabbis and congregations useful tools and resources so that LGBT people will not have to guess whether or not they are welcome. "Several Jewish denominations have guidelines that support welcoming but there has never been a comprehensive national structure and program to help individual congregations actually live up to the resolutions their denominations have passed. We are going to change that," said Dr. Joel Kushner, director of the Institute for Judaism and Sexual Orientation at Hebrew Union College- Jewish Institute of Religion.
"While the full report will be published in the coming months, the initial findings paint a picture of synagogue leadership that is open to full inclusion. And as it turns out, inclusion is good for congregations. One of the findings is that 41% of rabbis whose congregations pro-actively reached out to gay and lesbian Jews reported gaining members as a result and only 2% reported losing members," said Drinkwater.
A second conference will be held in Los Angeles on March 1-2. Speakers will include more leaders from Judaism's main seminaries, experts in congregational change, leaders in LGBT inclusion from both Jewish and Christian settings and rabbis from each of the Jewish movements to discuss "best practices" and strategies for change.
The Institute for Judaism and Sexual Orientation (IJSO) at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion was founded in 2000 to help train HUC-JIR students who will be the future spiritual, educational, and communal leaders in the Reform Jewish world to understand LGBT issues and develop the leadership and technical skills to move institutions and communities closer to welcoming LGBT Jews. Looking outward, the IJSO's mission is to support the larger Jewish world and the LGBT community through consultation and education on inclusion and welcoming. The IJSO maintains the largest collection of online resources on the intersection of Judaism, sexual orientation and gender identity at the Jeff Herman Virtual Resource Center.
Jewish Mosaic, a managed project of Jewish Funds for Justice, is based in Denver, Colorado, with a regional office in San Francisco. It is a national trans-denominational organization dedicated to helping the Jewish world become more open, accessible, and welcoming to LGBT Jews and their families. Founded in 2003, Jewish Mosaic conducts strategic policy research on issues related to LGBT Jews and the Jewish world; engages with questions of sexuality, gender and inclusion in Jewish sacred texts; collaborates with allies, supporters, rabbis, scholars and activists across all movements; keeps LGBT issues on the agendas of national and international Jewish institutions; provides LGBT-focused resources, education, and consulting to Jewish organizations; and connects locally-based LGBT Jewish advocacy groups with one another.

No austerity measures to deal with for the bloated security theatre overlords
Steve Watson
Feb 14, 2011
The Obama administration is to propose a $37 billion increase in federal spending for the Department of Homeland Security, earmarking funds for more radiation firing naked body scanners in airports around the country.
The DHS' budget will grow by almost 3 percent over the 2011 budget level, as Reuters reports, while the overall national security budget will increase by almost 2 percent.
The 2012 budget proposal requests $43.8 billion for homeland security across the entire federal government, excluding the Defense Department, up $800 million from 2011.
The DHS plans to add an additional 275 naked body scanners to the 500 already installed and operated by the TSA at 78 airports nationwide.
The administration has proposed deploying 1,275 body scanners in airports by the end of 2012.
"The U.S. Transportation Security Administration hopes to buy more full-body scanners to detect explosives and other weapons potential attackers may hide on their bodies that cannot be detected by traditional metal detectors." the Reuters reports suggests, failing to highlight the fact that the body scanners do not even have such capabilities according to their manufacturers.
Experts have dismissed the devices as "useless", have repeatedly warned that the machines cannot detect explosive material effectively and would not have prevented the Christmas Day bomber from boarding Flight 253.
Add to this the ongoing safety concerns of respected scientists, and one is left asking why is the government ploughing billions into technology that is ineffective and potentially dangerous?
The answer is security theatre.
A largely manufactured and over hyped threat is being met with a manufactured response, the net effect of which is an overwhelming stripping away of the basic freedoms of Americans while lining the pockets of security contractors.
The DHS is instituting a complete takeover of society, with it's Walmart telescreens, its active citizen spy programs, its armies of agents frisking crowds at sports events, and even extending it's tentacles into parking restrictions and the like.
In addition, at the same time as the announcement that a further $3 billion will be pumped into the DHS for protection against a chemical, biological, nuclear or radiological attack, a strange story has emerged of a port official in San Diego suggesting that such weapons have been found inside the U.S. by federal authorities.

Laughing may actually help your heart health.
When it comes to heart disease, there could be some truth in that age-old expression "laughter is the best medicine."
Research suggests laughter can decrease stress hormones, reduce artery inflammation and increase HDL, the "good" cholesterol, said Suzanne Steinbaum, D.O., an attending cardiologist and director of women and heart disease at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City.
"Once you start laughing, it forces you to feel better," said Dr. Steinbaum, who is also a spokeswoman for the American Heart Association's Go Red For Women movement.
A bonus with laughter is that its effects have been found to last 24 hours, she said. That's a good reason to laugh every day.
The risk of heart disease increases in depressed post-menopausal women, Dr. Steinbaum said. She pointed to research indicating people with heart disease are 40 percent less likely to laugh than people without it.
"To me, that's fascinating," she said of the study. "It is so helpful for people to really have a positive outlook."
Laughter seems to have "a wonderful health-enhancing characteristic," agreed Barry Jacobs, Psy.D., a clinical psychologist and national family caregiving spokesman for the American Heart Association.
"It decreases stress and anxiety" and may decrease inflammation in blood vessels, said Dr. Jacobs, director of behavioral sciences at the Crozer-Keystone Family Medicine Residency Program in Springfield, Pa.
"I think all of us have this feeling that humor is good for us," he said.
Research on the subject is limited, Jacobs said. Over the past 40 years, studies have found that people with certain personality types _ those who are hostile and angry, for example _ have higher rates of heart disease, Dr. Jacobs said. So, he said, if laughter is the opposite of anger, it's plausible that people with a better sense of humor may have a lower heart disease risk.
Like Dr. Steinbaum, Dr. Jacobs pointed to studies by University of Maryland Medical Center researchers.
Additional University of Maryland research examined circulation in the blood vessels in two groups of subjects who watched different types of movies. One group watched stressful segments of the war movie "Saving Private Ryan," while the others watched parts of a funny movie, "Something About Mary."
Among those viewing "Saving Private Ryan," blood vessel lining constricted and circulation decreased. For those watching the more upbeat movie, vessel lining dilated and circulation increased.
A famous anecdotal story about the power of humor came from Norman Cousins, a journalist and author who wrote the book "Anatomy of an Illness as Perceived by the Patient," Dr. Jacobs said. Cousins concluded that, after he contracted a serious illness in the 1960s, watching funny movies helped improve his condition.
Perhaps laughter should be prescribed as a part of the way to prevent heart disease, Dr. Steinbaum said.
"I wonder," she said, "if we can say to people that laughter is a little bit like a medication for you."
Ultimately, seeing the funny side of life and a silver lining in a difficult situation is beneficial, Dr. Jacobs said.
"All of us should laugh more," he said.

Lt. Dan Choi, an openly gay Army veteran who has been an outspoken critic of the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy, confirmed Wednesday that he has been hospitalized after suffering a "nervous breakdown."
Choi indicated he was distressed by the failure by Congress to repeal the 17-year-old ban on openly gay troops in the military.
The Senate last week blocked a military spending bill that would have repealed "don't ask, don't tell." The House on Wednesday passed a stand-alone bill that would overturn the policy.
"Anxiety attack and nervous breakdown after senate dadt ndaa vote. Overall stressors were many: family, homelessness, discharge and activist rollercoaster," Choi said in an e-mail message sent to msnbc.com from his iPhone.
He said he was "highly medicated/sedated" and being treated at the VA Medical Center in Brockton, Mass. "Here for the time being," he wrote.
On Tuesday, Choi said in an e-mail to Pam Spaulding and Rex Wockner, two colleagues who blog about gay and lesbian issues, that he was "involuntarily committed" to the hospital's psychiatric ward Friday morning after experiencing "a breakdown and anxiety attack."
On her blog, Pam's House Blend, Spaulding shared the contents of Choi's e-mail.
Hoffman withdrew $1,200 hours before death: sources
Philip Seymour Hoffman withdrew a total of $1,200 from an ATM at a supermarket near his New York City apartment the night before he was found lifeless in his bathroom with a syringe still in his left arm, sources told NBC News.

- Indiana man back home 18 years after abduction

- Hoffman withdrew $1,200 hours before death: sources
"I did not initially want to publicize this but I now realize it is critical for our community to know several things: veterans gay or straight carry human burdens, Activists share similar burdens, no activist should be portrayed as super human, and the failures of government and national lobbying carry consequences far beyond the careers and reputations of corporate leaders, elected officials, High powered lobbyists, or political elites. They ruin lives," Choi wrote in the e-mail to Spaulding.
"My breakdown was a result of a cumulative array of stressors but there is no doubt that the composite betrayals felt on Thursday, by elected leaders and gay organizations as well as many who have exploited my name for their marketing purposes have added to the result. I am certain my experience is not an isolated incident within the gay veteran community."
Spaulding said that Choi "clearly wanted to share what he could have left private, or had to deal with had information about this leaked out."

"But this is another gift to the community — to open up a multi-faceted discussion: 1) the mental health toll taken by gay and lesbian service members; 2) the stressors that arise when also thrown into the public eye as a matter of fate or circumstance, not as a job," Spaulding wrote on her blog.
In an e-mail Tuesday to the Village Voice, Derek Washington of the Stonewall Democratic Club of Southern Nevada said the battle to repeal "don't ask, don't tell" was "weighing far too heavily" on Choi's mind and spirit.
"It's a role he took on as much by circumstance as choice, and he's served honorably, but he is only human and needs to take care of himself in order to help others," Washington wrote. "Dan called me today to let me know that it had all gotten a little too much for him lately. After last week's DADT vote, Dan, for lack of a better term, 'lost it' and decided to seek professional help through the Veterans Administration."
Choi was discharged in July after he appeared on msnbc TV's "The Rachel Maddow Show" on March 19, 2009, and announced he is gay.

Smart Art - Imaging the Cosmos
Ever wonder how astronomers get those amazing pictures from space telescopes?
Transcript:NARRATOR: Ever wonder how astronomers get those amazing pictures from space telescopes? It's not quite as simple as pulling out a camera and snapping a Kodak moment. As the visualization scientist for NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope and Galaxy Evolution
Explorer, Dr. Robert Hurt translates the information from the spacecraft into extraordinary images that help us understand the cosmos.
DR. ROBERT HURT: What we generally do is we'll start with the core of the science result. We'll look at the data, we'll look at the published paper that tells what the astronomers have discovered. And then what we'll want to do is get into that nugget of result, that thing that we're trying to teach the public.
NARRATOR: NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope observes infrared light. The Galaxy Evolution Explorer studies ultra violet light.
HURT: When the spacecraft sends us an image, it's actually just a bunch of numbers. It's numbers that capture how bright each part of the sky is at a particular wavelength of light, one that we can't see.
NARRATOR: Hurt is an astronomer and an artist. He uses his computer to shift things that are invisible to our eyes and makes them visible.
HURT: So what I have to do is take this data which effectively counts as black and white images that come through colored filters on the telescope. And what we have to do is take these colors which the eye can't see and assign them into color that the eye can see. And when you do that we can build up what is called a representative color image.
NARRATOR: Red shows heat from hot dust. Blue shows starlight which is even hotter, and green -- the fluorescent light of organic molecules. Suddenly we see things around the universe that we've never seen before. But what if the story doesn't have a picture? That was the case with a Galex discovery that showed black holes stifle the formation of new stars.
HURT: Sometimes we end up with a science stories that are actually extremely difficult to tell just from the data.
NARRATOR: What's a visualization artist to do? You literally have to go back to the drawing board. To tell the story, Hurt's colleague, Tim Pyle, created this artist's concept of a black hole.
HURT: We wouldn't claim that these things we've visualized in our artists conception are exactly what these things look like because literally we don't know. But what we can do is get as close as we understand today.
NARRATOR: A Spitzer study uncovered evidence of planet birth around a dead star, though you'd hardly know it by looking a graph. So Hurt created an animation of a star that dies in a fiery blast, and the aftermath.
Hurt: It has to tell the story in an exciting way but also be true to the science, has to be realistic.
NARRATOR: Armed with science, creativity and inspiration visualization scientists and artists are taking us to distant reaches of the universe.
HURT: We've done visualizations to show planets around other stars. We've shown what sunsets would look like in exotic systems. Astronomers today are solving some of the most interesting mysteries in the history of mankind and if we can visually make that exciting to people, then really that's what our job is all about here.
