"I pretty much create my own schedule", states Misty Diaz matter-of-factly.
"But thankfully I do have a great coach named Michael Ainis, he helped me with one of the hardest half marathons in New York, which was all hills. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I got my best time on that course. I do a lot of cross training too, I kayak and make up my own routines I use trees and outdoor gyms. Yes – trees!"
She laughs at herself and the incredulity of her last statement and continues, "I do a lot of hiking and skateboarding. I use walking canes, so I must constantly work out my upper body."
In itself, this could be almost anyone in America – or the world – today. But Misty pushes harder than most. She was born with Spina Bifida.
Running wasn't always something that was high on her radar, though. It was only recently that taking to the sidewalks, trails and roads became a way of life for her.
"I started running April 21, 2012. I had about a year under my belt of being sober, and I had so much energy. I remember driving around in Long Beach and seeing a sign for Ronald McDonald 5k walk. They had helped my family in the past so I thought what better way to give back. So I signed up and felt wonderful. Then about a week later, I saw a sign for Seal Beach 5k. I remember thinking If I could walk a 5k, I could run. Not once did I consider the fact I have Spina Bifida and use walking canes. I just signed up; no training, no running buddy. I went home, sat down and Googled training runs and created my own schedule. I went to the gym and started working out. From there, I just kept signing up for races and didn't stop. As of 10/12 I will have run 32 races. My current goal which I'm almost done accomplishing, was running 3 half marathons in 3 1/2 weeks."
It's this passion for running and pushing further that's seen her set a new goal. In December, Misty will be tackling the Spartan Sprint in Malibu.
"I honestly had been throwing around the idea for a while. Then the Weeple Army invited me to their group and I did two small obstacle races and felt like I didn't accomplish much. I felt as though I needed something more challenging. So I spoke with a friend who's affiliated with Spartan, and asked if he knew how to get sponsored. I raise all my funds for my races through sponsors or grants. He thankfully had a code! I just want something that will push me to the edge, push my body further then I have ever imagined. Youd think I would have had enough after 28 operations. I love training and working my mind, so what better way than to get in and try a Spartan race? I want to test my limits, I can't imagine how I will feel once I finish. The hardest part for us is convincing our minds that we are capable. Many train the body, but forget the mind."
It's the mental aspect that is currently proving to be the biggest hurdle. Misty is under no illusions what's in store for her. When asked if any part of the idea of a Spartan Race scares her or intimidates her, she laughs.
"Yes, the entire thing! But that's the amazing thing about such an event. Think about that; the fact that we sign up for such events knowing it's going to be hard and take a lot from us to accomplish and yet we are still willing to sign up and train for such an event. That's pretty bad ass! I know I can do this, I'm just going to have to turn on a different type of beast mode!"
Misty's passion for what she does is all too clear when she explains that what she does has now developed further.
"Along my journey I have been able to meet such incredible people, who have been my supporters and cheerleaders. Because of my love for running, I have started my own pending, non-profit, Teamwolfpackfoundation.com."
"My non profit is to help those with Spina Bifida but not limited to, run 50 yard, 100 yard and 5Ks. I want these kids and adults to feel a sense of accomplishment, to be proud, and excited just like I do. I want them to know anything is possible, if you have the will. I want to do what was done for me and give back. The Team Wolf Pack name started when I started running 15Ks to train for half marathons. I would have a team of 2-3 people behind me running with me. They held whatever I needed, carried my meds and water. When I got tired, one of the runners would get in front of me as a pace leader, or along my side and helped me keep my pace. This is what I want to do for these kids, and adults. I hope this encourages you to continue to run, to keep trying, and to help others. After many years, I finally feel a part of something. I can't tell you how much that makes me happy. I'm so grateful to be a part of the running community."
"I leave you with this friends; never ever give up!"
She will know at the finish line. You can too.

Bought it from Dick Smith and returned it. The unit would freeze regularly. Battery life was so poor, after a 24 hour charge, the battrey died midway on the 15 minute drive to Dick Smith for it's return.
I basically attracted to the look and 'claimed functionality' of the unity. I was in two minds and had one last test to see if I could live with it. There was no more power before I even reached Dick Smith.There was not enough battery charge on the unit to conduct a delete of all my stored private information, before the return.
There werre no speed camera updates and customer/technical support was poor for the unit was poor. The map update software was slow and buggy. I lost my prepaid map and traffic camera subscriptions but I was pleased to get rid of that piece of rubbish. Never buy this. Give your money to charity instead and you will feel better for that.

The concept is a year long challenge, a new year's resolution per say, the aim to create one game, every month. I considered doing it, but decided I probably wouldn't have time, or get around to finishing a game each month. Spontaneously two days ago I changed my mind and decided to do it. I realised that the game needn't be of a decent size or something unique, the point is to finish 12 games in a year. So I set to work, and spent a total of around six hours over the next couple of days putting together my January game. The result is balance. A extremely simple game, which nice aesthetics due to box2D and box2Dligths implementation. A great learning experience, and a not so bad result.

The teenager's mom, Mistie Frazier, says they don't normally leave the wheelchair out on their porch, but thought it would be okay until this morning when Austin went to use it for school, it was no where to be found.
Mistie says her son, Austin, an 18-year-old that attends North High School, can walk some of the time with crutches, but has Spinabifida is paralyzed from the knees down.
He uses his wheelchair to get around school. For school on Wednesday, the school lent him their emergency one.
Mistie was very worried about getting a new wheelchair since she says you are only eligible for a new one every five years.
Austin's wheelchair is specifically made for his needs and his size, and cost about $1,000.
"I kind of let things roll, but in reality talking about it, it's just wrong for somebody to do something like that and it upsets me that there are people out there that would do stuff like that," Misty said.
Police say the wheelchair was found abandoned. No one is being charged at this time.

TEAFEST Mug£6.00
Coffee mornings? Pah!
We all know that brain tumour support is built on TEA, not coffee. That's why every year, around March time, we hold an event called TEAFEST.
It's a week long party where people pop tea cosies on their heads, take on the office tea round, read tea leaves and much much more. This is all in a bid to get tea back up the agenda, and to squeeze a few pennies into brainstrust's pot in the process.
No TEAFEST event is complete without an official TEAFEST mug. Pick yours up here today. And don't forget once it lands on your mat, snap a #SELFTEA (seflie, but with a cuppa tea!) and share it via twitter and wotnot to get tea back where it belongs.
About Us
Welcome to the brainstrust charity shop. No fusty old trews on rails here, just nice shiny new things that you can get your hands on at a reasonable price to show your support for brain tumour support.
We raise a small amount of money each year for brain tumour patients and their carers by selling things online. And this is where we do it. Well here, and from our cosy office on the Isle of Wight.
Once you place an order, it zips through the ether and lands on Kim's desk. Kim then picks and packs your order and runs your stuff down to the post office. If you're lucky you may get some other nice bits and bobs in your package, it depends what we have hanging around at the time.
So thanks for visiting, and thank you for getting behind our work - we're breaking new ground here, getting properly useful support for brain tumour patients and carers up the agenda. If you're on the Isle of Wight, pop in for a cuppa - +44 (0)1983 292405, firstname.lastname@example.com
Thank you x

America's Most Compassionate Doctors
Best of Boulder Award

Whether for medical or aesthetic reasons, our comprehensive Medical Team works closely to provide innovative treatment options for virtually all vein problems.

Boulder Vein Center is committed to excellence in the treatment of various venous disorders. We hope you find our website informative. Please do not hesitate to call us if you have any questions or concerns. We are here for you.
Richard Fox, MD, FACS
Dr. Richard Fox has provided full-spectrum general surgical care to the Boulder community for over nine years. In that time, he cultivated a special interest in thoracic and vascular procedures, including state-of-the-art treatments for varicose veins. As a Board Certified General Surgeon, he aims to provide his patients minimally invasive alternatives to surgery. Utilizing the latest techniques, Dr. Fox keeps his patients out of the hospital; thus, allowing less recovery time following vein procedures.
Dr. Richard Fox, Board Certified by the American Board of Surgery in 2002, opened Alpine Surgical in 2007 and Boulder Vein Center in 2010. He created Boulder Vein Center as an extention of his surgical practice to address the increased need for comprehensive vein care in our community. Dr. Fox has been practicing General Surgery at Boulder Community Hopstial (BCH) and Avista Adventis Hospital since 2002, also serving as the Medical Director for Trauma Services at BCH for the last seven years. He is a Fellow of the Amercian College of Surgeons as well as the American Society of Breast Surgeons. He is also a member of the BCH Ethics Team and the Boulder Medical Society.
Dr. Fox earned his Bachelor's Degree in Biology with Honors from Indiana University in 1993. He returned to his home state of Illinois to pursue Master's Degrees in Applied Physiology and Pathology, as well as his MD degree, at the Chicago Medical School in North Chicago. While there, he was elected a member of Alpha Omega Alpha honor society. Dr. Fox completed his Surgery internship and residency in General Surgery at Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood, Illinois, in 2002.
Matthew Gawart, MD
Dr. Gawart brings impressive medical skills to our community. He has extensive training in all aspects of general surgery, including the latest in procedures for venous disease.
Dr. Gawart has published several articles and has received a plethora of awards for his academic pursuits. Such accolades include:

State of the Art Treatment Options
Whether your problem is a simple cosmetic issue or a more serious one such as a life or limb threatening ulceration, Boulder Vein Center is your trusted source for total vein care. We offer state-of-the-art solutions that do not require surgery. Below are state of the art procedures provided at Boulder Vein Center:
Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT)
Varicose veins produce significant symptoms and can lead to serious medical conditions. It's hard to believe that it was just a few years ago that the only remedy for varicose veins was through surgical stripping. This process involved surgery followed by a lengthy recovery period. The good news is those days are over. Boulder Vein Center is pleased to offer state-of-the-art procedures that will eliminate varicose veins. VenacureTM Endovenous Laser Treatment is a clinically proven in-office procedure that takes about one hour. There is minimal to no scarring and no general anesthesia or hospitalization is required. Our patients can return to their normal routine quickly and the procedure is covered by most insurance carriers.
Microphlebectomy is a procedure that removes sections of a superficial vein that has swelled and bulged from the surface of the leg. Microphlebectomy is often recommended in combination with EVLT; however, there are some cases where the presribed treatment is microphlebectomy alone. This procedure is completed in the office under a local anesthetic medication. The patient is able to return home shortly after the procedure.
Sclerotherapy, or injection therapy, is a minimally-invasive method for addressing spider and some larger veins. It is frequently done with the use of a Vein-light or Ultrasound-guidance. The vein is injected with a diluted "sclerosant" medicine, most frequently Sodium Tetradecyl Sulfate (SotradecolTM) or Polidocanol (AscleraTM). The lining of the vein is irritated causing it to swell and stick together. The blood clots and the vessel becomes a scar that fades from view over time. This type of clot is not dangerous and does not migrate into the larger veins of the body. This technology has actually been in use since the early 1900's.
Vein Gogh Spider Vein Treatment
VeinGogh is a fast, new treatment technology that uses special thermal energy to eliminate spider veins on the face or extremities.
Compression Therapy
Gradient compression stockings and hosiery provide pressure that is strongest around the foot and ankle and looser as it moves up the leg. The steady pressure provided by compression stockings assists the leg muscles and veins in moving blood more efficiently and quickly up the leg to the heart. We provide a comprehensive selection of graded compressions stockings.
In 2010, Dr. Richard Fox opened Boulder Vein Center, which is designed to utilize state-of-the-art technology to meet the increasing demands for total vein care.

There is no easy solution to the gun violence problem in America, but I feel that we have let that paralyze us for far too long now.
Here's one way to get started. It may not be the fastest or the most efficient way, but at least it's better than the big fat nothing I've been doing up until this point.
Lets stop whining and start acting.

Joe-kun, you're such a good writer. If you don't mind my asking, how old are you? Your avatar makes me think that you may be pretty young, but you write so well. I have a tendency to be rather boring in my writing and I'm in college, but your writing is the opposite... so I'm pretty curious.
There has only been one other piece of written-hentai which interested me about as much as this did. It was about some chick from megaman masturbating. I believe that was on Fakku too. Hell, lol, you may have been the author.
Anyway good work. Keep it up. Glad I came across this thread.

Software for better performance
Computer Programs for Better Racing and Engine Building
Story Larry Jewett - Images courtesy of COMP Cams - May 01, 2011 09:00 AM
The trial-and-error method can get pretty expensive. When you're doing track testing or building engines, you really don't want to spend a lot of time and money correcting mistakes.
We are fortunate enough to have the technology that is quickly taking the "error" part of the trial-and-error equation out of the mix. The nice thing about it is that you no longer need elaborate, complicated computer equipment to get what you need. A simple laptop or desktop and a little common sense will go a long way.
There are several computer programs offered through the COMP Cams family of companies, including Powerhouse Products and Pro Racing SIM that will give you the winner's edge without expending money on parts that didn't get the results you were seeking.
We recently encountered an up-and-coming road racing team that was looking for ways to step up the program. Track testing was cost-prohibitive due to the team's home base. Limited resources could be better used for equipment and logistics of the season.
A simple and immediate solution was the FastLapSIM5. This program gives the racing team a chance to simulate conditions that can produce an ideal lap, allowing the team to begin with attainable targets.
The program was developed with ease of operation in mind. Pull-down menus allow the user to set parameters before launching into a real-time data procurement. A main program screen allows the user to select vehicle components, dimensions and specifications. Track data, vehicle performance data curves and simulated numerical data are displayed in either chart of graphical form. Selections are made from the program menu bar. Component status boxes offer the choice of pre-selected options or allow the user to create custom information specific to an individual program. To input information, just fill in the areas with asterisks to reflect the values like engine and drivetrain. You can also use the pull-down menus provided by the PopUp DirectClick choices that allow you to choose from pre-selected defaults.
Once all of the parameters have been set, you simply hit "run" and let the program do its work. The calculations will work to develop an ideal race line, starting by approximating a series of points. Once the path is computed, a theoretical speed through each point will be determined, focusing on elements like tire grip and braking. The program will also add factors that may determine a more optimal path and calculate accordingly. When the simulation ends, you receive your data in graph or table form.
Those with decades of engine building experience may not need it, but they use it too. The Desktop Dyno program arrived on the scene a few years ago and gained immediate acceptance. It offers the chance to develop a power combination for the right application before ordering the first part.
The Windows-based program features simple operation to move easily toward the objective. It is capable of testing any four-cycle engine from single cylinder to 12 cylinder. You can plug in your own values or select from a wide variety of common engine aspects. Starting with a blank screen (similar to starting with a blank sheet of paper for any engine project), you begin input of the values for the combinations you would like to test. There are several calculators to aid you with detailed engine analysis. One of these is the CamMath quick calculator to get you through proper selection and set you onto the path to bring the moving parts into harmony.
Ease of operation becomes the main focus as you work through the aspects. DirectClick menus will offer the common combinations as a starting point or a way to familiarize yourself with the program's function. The calculators aid the process in each section to build the virtual engine.
When you are ready to see how your engine will perform, it's a simple click of the mouse. Results are displayed in 500 rpm increments from 1,000 to 14,500 rpm (user selected range). Combustion chamber modeling is included to get you within a reasonable variance from actual dyno cell results, which tend to vary by dyno manufacturer.
The results are displayed in table or graph form for analysis. Perhaps the best part is that if you don't get the results you want, just change values and watch what happens. A little engine knowledge is necessary, but the program is designed to keep those values in balance.

Vitamin C to Stave off Arthritis
By Celia Shatzman
Eating vitamin C–rich foods may protect your knees from osteoarthritis, reports a recent study in Arthritis Research & Therapy. Here's why: They're packed with antioxidants, which protect cells from oxidative damage, and oxidative damage breaks down cartilage—the "shock absorber" in the knee joint. Vitamin C slows down deterioration by strengthening cartilage and reducing inflammation in the joint. "To get the full benefits, eat food with lots of vitamin C on a daily basis," says Marissa Lippert, MS, a dietitian in New York City. But oranges have stolen the vitamin C spotlight for far too long. Here's how to sneak the top five runner-ups into your diet:
Papaya. Boasting 300 percent of the daily recommendation per serving, this vitamin C superstar is delicious in a smoothie: Blend papaya chunks with a frozen banana, ice, and 1/3 cup of 100 percent pineapple juice.
Red, yellow, and orange bell peppers. Cut into strips and dip in hummus for a healthy snack; or roast the peppers and use them as a colorful topping for grilled chicken or salmon.
Broccoli. Sauté for 10 minutes with olive oil and garlic, and toss with whole-wheat pasta.
Brussels Sprouts. Drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper and roast at 400 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes for an easy side dish.
Strawberries. Toss into cereal, salads, or smoothies. Or drizzle strawberries with balsamic vinegar for a dessert.

With its "CHOSERA" brand Naniwa offers a high-tech line of sharpening stones. The Chosera stones are markedly harder than the Superstones from the same manufacturer. Naniwa designed these stones for professional woodworkers and carvers, who put the highest daily demands on their tools. Overall, these stones are best for those who don't have a lot of time to spend and need to quickly and cleanly sharpen their tools.
Chosera stones are harder than the Naniwa Superstones and so take much longer to develop a hollow in use. These stones also cut faster, especially in the rougher stones -- 3000 grit and larger. The 400-grit Chosera stone, for instance, works faster than the 220-grit Superstone, and is only marginally slower than the Shapton 120-grit. Normally the Chosera stones only need to have their surfaces moistened a bit with water.
A flat stone is vital to a good sharpening job and flattening stones takes time. Have a look at the flattening blocks and supplies we offer.
A note on the packaging: The box is marked "with Stand", that is to say with a holder glued to the back of the stone. Normally these stones are delivered with a plastic holder. But we prefer, and most users of these stones agree, not to have a holder glued to the back of the stone because if one finds that the stone needs flattening in the middle of a job, one can simply flip the stone over to use the other side without interrupting work and then flatten the stone at one's leisure. So we asked Naniwa to deliver the stones without the holder, despite what the packaging says.
IMPORTANT NOTE on storage and lubrication: Chosera sharpening stones are bound with magnesium and so have more cutting particles per unit of surface than resin-bound stones. But magnesium-bound stones are much more sensitive to prolonged exposure to water as other types of stones. So Chosera stones should NOT be left to soak in water for prolonged periods and must be stored dry. If this advice is not followed the stones can develop hairline cracks or the binding material can be leached out of the stone. It is more than enough to pour a little water on the surface or briefly dip the stones in water, they do not need to be soaked. If you are not sure that you can keep this always in mind, perhaps because you have a number of different kinds of sharpening stones, it may be better to opt for the more tolerant Super Stones.
Every Chosera sharpening stone is delivered with a special Nagura stone (67 x 49 x 25 mm) to put a fine sharpening paste on the surface of the Chosera stones during use.

To perform a search, enter a keyword, phrase or item number in the search field and click "search."
We offer two ways to locate information:
Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
A blend of 60% Syrah, 35% Mourvedre and 5% Grenache.
The 2005 vintage for Domaine de Nizas was dry and warm. Rain fell at the beginning of September, followed by good weather, which made the grapes mature perfectly. Cool nights produced balanced acidity, adding freshness to the wine.
This wine is deep garnet in color, with fragrant aromas of blackberries, bilberries (European blueberries) and spices. The distinctive herbal notes commonly found in wines around the Mediterranean called garrigue—lavendar, sage, rosemary and wild thyme—speak to the wine's regionality and terroir. The palate is well-balanced and clean, becoming round and full-bodied, with soft, ripe tannins and a long finish. Enjoyable now or age for up to five years in a cool cellar.
This powerful and elegant wine is an ideal partner to Mediterranean dishes such as a lamb tangine with candied grapes and almonds of braised duck with mushrooms. Serve at cellar temperature and open one hour before tasting.
"A refined red from the south of
France, with a core of concentrated
raspberry, red plum and kirschlike
flavors. There's plenty of fresh acidity
as well, with a bright finish of pepper
and spice. Should open up with time
in the cellar. Syrah, Mourvèdre and
Grenache. Drink now through 2015."

Domaine de Nizas is the new winemaking collaboration from John Goelet and Bernard Portet, co-founders in 1972 of Clos du Val in Napa Valley, California. John Goelet is also the owner of Taltarni Vineyards (Victoria, Australia) and Clover Hill (Tasmania).
On a manually tended 200 acre vineyard, they've created handcrafted limited-production wines since 1998. Their goal is to serve as a model in terms of elegance, complexity, balance and aging ability among Mediterranean wines.

Epidemiologic studies have indicated an inverse association between increased intake of omega-3 fatty acids and Alzheimer's disease risk, but whether this is a cause or an effect of the disease has been a matter of speculation. For the current study, the UCLA team used mice bred to have the human version of a mutant amyloid precursor protein which produces the brain plaques characteristic of Alzheimer's disease. Older animals who were already showing evidence of the Alzheimer's lesions were fed omega-3 fatty acid depleted diets while another group of the same age was given the diet supplemented with DHA derived from algae. Two additional groups of mice who did not have the Alzheimer's gene were provided with regimens identical to those of the treatment groups. When the animals were examined after five months, the researchers found significant damage to the synapses of the nerve cells in the brains of the mice with Alzheimer's disease who were on DHA deficient diet. (Synapses are the connections between nerve cells through which the cells communicate.) The changes were similar to those observed in the brains of human Alzheimer's disease patients. Supplementation with DHA helped prevent this damage, as well as providing protection against oxidative stress in the mice who received it. In studies in which behavior was examined, the mutant mice who received low-DHA diets showed deficits in memory and learning that did not occur in mice supplemented with DHA. The authors explained their findings by noting that oxidative stress is the probable cause of the loss of DHA, which can be controlled by increased intake of the fatty acid and should be reduced by dietary or supplementary antioxidants. Dr Cole commented, "This is the first proof that our diets affect how our brain cells communicate with each other under the duress of Alzheimer's disease. We saw that a diet rich in DHA, or docosahexaenoic acid, dramatically reduces the impact of the Alzheimer's gene. Consuming more DHA is something the average person can easily control. Anyone can buy DHA in its purified form, fish-oil capsules, high-fat fish or DHA-supplemented eggs." Dr Cole and colleagues conclude that the results of their research, "support the idea that increased DHA intake should be considered as a potential neuroprotective strategy for AD." (Calon F, L GP, Yang F et al, "Docosahexaenoic acid protects from dendritic pathology in an Alzheimer's disease mouse model," Neuron, vol 43, 633-645.) Protocol Alzheimer's diseaseThe most characteristic features of Alzheimer's disease are senile plaques of beta-amyloid peptide, neurofibrillary tangles involving tau protein, loss of synapses, and (ultimately) the death of neurons. Although neurofibrillary tangles are more closely associated with neuronal death than beta-amyloid, the evidence is becoming convincing that beta-amyloid is the factor most responsible for starting the degenerative processes of Alzheimer's disease. Free-radical damage (oxidative stress) is a significant cause of biological aging. It is well-known that neurons are extremely sensitive to attacks by destructive free radicals. The following evidence supports the hypothesis of free-radical damage being a central cause in Alzheimer's disease (Christen 2000): The brain lesions present in the brains of Alzheimer's disease patients are typically associated with attacks by free radicals (for example, damage to DNA, protein oxidation, lipid peroxidation, and advanced glycosylation end products). Metals (such as iron, copper, zinc, and aluminum) are often present. These metals have a catalytic activity which produces free radicals. Beta-amyloid is aggregated and produces more free radicals in the presence of free radicals. Beta-amyloid toxicity is eliminated by free radical scavengers. Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) is subject to attacks by free radicals, and apolipoprotein E peroxidation has been correlated with Alzheimer's disease. In contrast, apolipoprotein E can act as a free radical scavenger. Alzheimer's disease has been linked to mitochondrial anomalies affecting cytochrome c oxidase. These anomalies may contribute to the abnormal production of free radicals. Free radical scavengers (such as vitamin E, selegeline, and ginkgo biloba extract) have produced promising results in Alzheimer's disease. http://www.lef.org/protocols/prtcl-006.shtml Featured Products Mega EPA/DHA capsules Omega-3 fatty acids that are found in cold water fish (and fish oil) and perilla and flaxseed oils, have the ability to suppress the production of inflammatory mediators. Omega-3 oils contain the essential fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which can be lacking in the typical Western diet that includes a high amount of omega-6 fats. http://www.lef.org/newshop/items/item00625.html PC-Ginkgo capsules Phosphatidylcholine (PC), a major structural component of brain cells, is important for intelligence and memory. Ginkgo functions via many mechanisms to maintain healthy neurological function. This supplement combines these two widely documented brain-boosting nutrients into one capsule. Also included, are medium chain triglycerides (MCT) —saturated fatty acids that do not induce cholesterol formation, are burned as fuel, and have shown significant health benefits.

-- Robert Preidt
TUESDAY, March 15 (HealthDay News) -- Efforts to refer surgical
patients to hospitals that handle a large number of such procedures
did not improve patient outcomes, according to the results of a
study in Washington state.
Previous research has suggested that surgical patients have
better outcomes if they're referred to hospitals that perform a
large number of operations. This has caused a push for volume-based
referrals to hospitals, an idea led by the Leapfrog Group's
Evidence-Based Hospital Referral (EBHR) program in the United
States, the researchers explained.
However, the new study, which looked at what happened when a
greater percentage of pancreatic and esophageal surgeries were
performed at higher-volume hospitals, found that the impact on
patient outcomes across the state was minimal.
Although rates of adverse events were lower at hospitals that
met a given high-volume standard, rates of complications, death and
hospital readmission did not improve in the seven years after the
introduction of the EBHR program.
The study was published in the February issue of the
Journal of the American College of Surgeons.
"This statewide analysis suggests Leapfrog's EBHR initiative has not had the intended impact of lowering the rate of adverse outcomes for all surgical patients having higher-risk surgical procedures. Although there are many potential reasons for this finding, it may be the result of higher-risk surgical patients not seeking care at higher-volume centers," lead author Dr. Nader N. Massarweh, a surgical resident at the University of Washington School of Medicine in Seattle, said in a journal news release.

Ecommerce Integration
A great ecommerce ecosystem should never be limited to just one vendor. That's why we make it easy to connect Elastic Path to a wide range of commercial and open source software, with a choice of Cortex mediation or conventional integration.
Content Management Systems (CMS, WCM, CEM, WEM)
These applications are the key to an amazing customer experience. That's why we treat them differently than a conventional CMS commerce integration. Commerce Engine provides headless services that are specifically designed to work in parallel with content management software, unlike other CMS ecommerce platforms that require complex, inefficient ETL integrations and data replication to produce a unified experience. Instead, Elastic Path uses high-performance Cortex resource mediation to dynamically link resources and capabilities from both ecommerce CMS platforms together in real time -– producing seamless, beautiful digital experiences that engage customers and drive revenue.
Enterprise Management (CRM ecommerce, ERP, SCM)
These systems are often used by our customers to manage master data or other enterprise-wide capabilities. Elastic Path's ecommerce CRM integration plays well with these leading platforms to handle fulfillment, inventory, licensing, and post-transaction support. In situations where digital experiences require CRM commerce resources from these applications in real time, Cortex mediation can also be used to generate the unified business APIs that power them.
Middleware and Enterprise Service Bus (ESB)
In many deployments, Elastic Path capabilities have been integrated with the existing client infrastructure through an enterprise service bus, portal application, or other middleware technology. This creates a truly integrated ecommerce system.
Elastic Path has been successfully deployed with almost every leading payment provider. In addition, customers choosing to generate recurring revenue with our cloud Subscriptions solution now have even greater flexibility in this space – including the exclusive ability to hot-swap between processors to maximize redundancy and minimize transaction fees.
Analytics and Testing
We provide our customers with choice in analytics and optimization platforms. With the unprecedented data collection and aggregation capabilities of Cortex, we can also generate a single view of the customer that can be provided to MDM platforms, business intelligence applications, or even next-best-action systems to facilitate real-time, automated marketing.

We've got a love/hate relationship with vintage sweatshirts. Namely, we love the way they look and hate the way they fit. And just so you know, rolling up the sleeves isn't fooling anyone. So that's why we like this Acne dusty blue sweatshirt – it's got the vintage look mixed with an updated cut. This shade of blue may be a little too summery for right now, but it'd be perfect when the weather decided to perk up again. (Opening Ceremony)
Take that leap, see those images.

Based on a true story, this tele-movie stars Cameron Daddo as a father desperate to get his daughter back and Jacqueline Bisset as a manipulative grandmother with an interest in the occult.
In 1971, author Clifford Irving is feeling cheated when his latest manuscript, which looked sure to be published by McGraw-Hill, is ultimately rejected. After that rejection, his primary contact at the publishing house, Andrea Tate, seems ready to place him on her do not call list. As such, Clifford tells her that he is working on the most important book of the twentieth century, which in reality is a total fabrication, as is his ultimate idea for the book: that he has been asked by billionaire recluse Howard Hughes to write his autobiography. Clifford, who has never met Hughes and has never been contacted by Hughes, is banking on past history of Hughes not coming out in public to decry Clifford's book as being a fake, as is the situation with a current case involving TWA which could cost Hughes monetarily if the case goes against him and which Hughes has not come out publicly to defend. If Clifford's assertions of the book are indeed true, Andrea and her colleagues at McGraw-Hill are highly interested. Along for the ride with Clifford are his long time friend and researcher, Dick Suskind, who likes the idea when it seems to be working, but seems ready to fold under the pressure whenever they are close to being caught; and Clifford's artist wife, Edith Irving, who takes on the pseudonym Helga R. Hughes to be able to cash the checks made out to H.R. Hughes. Clifford and Dick luck into personal information about Hughes which would assist in writing an accurate autobiography. They also mysteriously come into possession of some information which if included in the book would entirely change its focus but have the potential for far reaching political consequences. But Clifford's personal life, which includes an affair with actress Nina Van Pallandt, and his own grip on what is true and isn't may ultimately be his downfall.
The intriguing and comedic account of how the bogus Howard Hughes autobiography by Clifford Irving (Richard Gere) sparked a huge literary flimflam. Lasse Hallstrom directs.

Young Plants Must Be Protected
The fortunate lack of early season plant disease in Western cotton is likely a result of cropping techniques and warm weather, but that doesn't mean producers need not be aware of problems that may arise.
Rainfall in the cotton-growing regions of California, Arizona and New Mexico ranges from three to 14 inches annually. Low moisture and the ability to irrigate only when needed is one of the major factors related to the low impact of plant disease.
The great majority of cotton ground in the West is irrigated prior to plant-ing. Seed is then planted while the ground is still moist but not saturated. Depending on the density of the soil, the new crop may not be irrigated for several weeks. Because the ground is not saturated when the seed is germinating, many of the fungi generally associated with plant disease do not thrive on the seed during the early stages of cotton development.
Disease Problems
However, Western cotton is not disease-free.
In all elevations of New Mexico, Arizona and California, cool temperatures and increased moisture influence early fungal development and plant disease. Elevations over 3,000 feet are generally about 12 degrees cooler than lower elevations. Cotton is planted several weeks later in those higher areas.
Lower elevations of Arizona and along the Colorado River where heat units accumulate early are also at risk for fungal plant infection. Lack of crop rotation, cool weather planting, improper seed depth and poor seed bed preparation can influence fungal growth on seedling cotton as well.
"Crop rotation is one of the standard practices to prevent pressure and reduce build up of the inoculum in the soil," says Randy Norton, regional Extension Specialist with the Univer-sity of Arizona.
Factor In Temperature
He also states that planting in soil 65 degrees and higher, as well as using a seed variety with good seedling vigor, is key to giving the plant an advantage as it emerges.
Bob Hutmacher, Cooperative Extension Service for the University of California, agrees that a cold, wet spring will help facilitate early season plant disease.
"Warmer temperatures without rain and cycles of cold nights will help seedlings power through, in general," he says.
Rhizoctonia solani is responsible for post emergence damping-off of cotton seedlings. Infected seedlings dry up and die.
Hutmacher sees a few incidents of Rhizoctonia solani infestation in land on which tomatoes were previously grown and relates the disease to rotating cotton into the field too early to get a jump on a long growing season.
Thielaviopsis basicola or black root rot is responsible for a black cortical decay of the tap root. Seedlings can recover from black root rot, but plants will not be as productive as those without the infection.
Best Practices Deliver
Once thought to be a fungi, Pythium, a plant parasite, also can be controlled by best practices used to control fungi. Fungicides are useful against Pythium and usually do a good job unless there is an extended period of "lousy, cold weather," according to Hutmacher.
California cotton producers and researchers are currently working to prevent further infestation of the fungus, Fusarium Race 4 (FOV 4), another early season seedling pathogen that affects plant growth, often killing the infected plant.
Survey Confirms Fungus Status
At this point, there is no evidence of Race 4 cotton infestation in areas other than the San Joaquin Valley.
A cooperative survey of Arizona cotton by the University of Arizona Cooperative Extension, Arizona Crop Improvement Association, Arizona Cotton Growers Association and Arizona Cotton Research and Protection Council in 2012 indicated that no Arizona cotton ground has been infected with the fungus.
Brent Murphree is the Cotton Board's Regional Communication Manager for the West. He resides in Maricopa, Ariz.
