TUESDAY, April 10 (HealthDay News) -- Although a colonoscopy is
considered the "gold standard" for colon cancer screening, a new
study finds that many patients are reluctant to have the test.
Patients are more likely to opt for a simple fecal occult blood
test -- a brief part of a medical exam -- that checks for bleeding,
which can be a sign of colon cancer, the researchers said.
"The best test is the one that the patient actually performs," said lead researcher Dr. John Inadomi, a distinguished professor and head of the division of gastroenterology at the University of Washington, in Seattle.
"We should not assume that all patients prefer colonoscopy; therefore, patient preferences should be elicited to determine the test to which they are most likely to adhere," he said.
The main difference between the two tests, Inadomi said, is that
a fecal occult blood test should be done every year, while for most
people a colonoscopy can be done every 10 years starting at age
In addition, any cancerous or precancerous polyps found during a
colonoscopy can be removed during the procedure. If a fecal occult
blood test proves positive, a colonoscopy is the next step.
The downside of a colonoscopy for many patients is the
preparation, which involves fasting and using laxatives the day
before the procedure. Many patients also don't like being sedated,
and there can be complications, particularly a puncture of the
intestine cause by the instrument, Inadomi said.
The report was published in the April 9 issue of the
Archives of Internal Medicine.
For the study, 997 men and women were assigned to or given a
choice of having a colonoscopy or a fecal occult blood test.
Within a year, 58 percent of the participants had the selected
screening test.
Only about 38 percent of those who chose or were assigned to a
colonoscopy actually had one, however, compared with more than 67
percent of those who were assigned to or chose a fecal occult blood
test, the researchers found.
Significant racial/ethnic differences existed in screening, with
whites more likely to have a colonoscopy and nonwhites a fecal
occult blood test, the researchers found.
Blacks had the lowest rate of colon cancer screening at 48
percent. Asians and Latinos -- at about 61 percent and 63 percent,
respectively -- had the highest rates, the study found.
"We have seen benefit from colon cancer screening with fewer people dying from it," said Dr. Theodore Levin, a gastroenterologist at the Kaiser Permanente Medical Center in Walnut Creek, Calif., and the author of an accompanying journal editorial. "If we want to raise our screening rates then we need to offer people choices other than colonoscopy."
Levin said there are many alternatives to colonoscopy, such as a
virtual colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy, and often when people are
given too many choices they end up not doing anything.
"People may become confused and more likely to do nothing, but if you offered them colonoscopy, a test they don't want to do, or another test like a fecal occult blood test, then they are more likely to be screened," he said.

The Los Angeles Lakers have been aggressive in free agency so far this summer; however, they've come up empty handed over and over again. There is one "marquee" free agent left on the board. His name in Lance Stephenson.
The Lakers have shown interest in Stephenson, but have been busier trying to land the likes of Carmelo Anthony, LeBron James, Chris Bosh, and apparently Dirk Nowitzki. What the Lakers have to show for free agency right now is contract promises to Jordan Hill (2 years/$18M), the immortal Swaggy P, aka Nick Young (4 years/$21.5M), a trade for Jeremy Lin and a first round pick from the Houston Rockets. It's a sad state of affairs here in Los Angeles.
However, the Lakers can make a minor splash and improve there chances of making the playoffs in the 2014-15 season by trying to sign Indiana Pacers guard Lance Stephenson. While we know that Stephenson is a bit of a misfit, he is also a massively talented 23-year old who led the NBA with five triple doubles last season, NBA guards in rebounds with 7.2 a game, and is one of the best perimeter defenders in the association.
Stephenson famously, or infamously, turned down Indiana's 5-year, $44M deal on July 1st and is one of the last big name free agents left standing. The question remains: Will the Lakers try to sign Lance Stephenson?
The more appropriate question is CAN they sign Lance Stephenson?
Stephenson has been courted by plenty of teams. The Dallas Mavericks were close to offering him a contract before the Houston Rockets decided to not match Chandler Parsons' offer sheet. Michael Jordan and the Charlotte Hornets have been rumored to have interest for some time now; however, they've never extended an offer. The Hawks may be interested. Right now it looks like Larry Bird, the President of the Indiana Pacers, is playing a game of chicken with Stephenson and his representatives. And you know what? He's winning.
Back to our question: Can the Lakers sign Lance Stephenson?
The simple answer is yes. By promising contracts to Jordan Hill and Nick Young, but not actually signing the deals and making them binding, the Lakers still have about $6.8M in cap space to work with after the Jeremy Lin trade. The Lakers can always go over the luxury tax to re-sign their own players, assuming they don't renounce their rights, which the Lakers won't do. Meanwhile, the Lakers can open up another $6M this season by using the stretch provision on Steve Nash. The stretch provision essentially "stretches" Nash's contract out over three years, meaning he would receive $3.1M over the next three years, instead of $9M+ this season.
The Lakers do not want to use the stretch provision on Steve Nash. Their dream scenario, right now, is to trade Nash to another team who wants an expiring contract in return for picks. Is that likely to happen? Not at this point in the offseason. If the Lakers are truly interested in bringing in a player like Lance Stephenson then they're likely going to have to use the stretch provision on Nash in order to clear enough cap space to sign Stephenson.
Let's assume that the Lakers use the stretch provision on Nash. That means that the Lakers will have about $12M in cap space, before signing Hill and Young. Would Stephenson accept a 2-year deal with the Lakers for $22-24M? Would the Lakers be willing to go over the salary cap and potentially go into the luxury tax for Lance Stephenson?
Is Lance Stephenson worth the headache? It's going to be hard enough to convince Stephenson to take a shorter term deal in Los Angeles. It's also going to require a lot of time and effort to make the necessary deals to create space for Stephenson. And then, once you get Stephenson in the door, is he worth $11-12M a season if he's going to act like a petulant child 5-10% of the time. Is it worth it? Is it all worth it?
I can't answer that question. All I know is that if the Lakers have any interest in salvaging their 2014-2015 season they must consider signing Lance Stephenson. If they're not interested in competing next season and they're simply looking to acquire assets for 2015 and 2016 then by all means they should continue doing what they're doing.
Lance Stephenson comes at a cost. But so does losing. It's your choice Mitch. Time to put your cards on the table.

Download Songs From Internet: How Could You Enjoy Music While Saving Money
If you want to save your money while listening to music, then it is recommended to download song from various websites, which offer songs in various formats so that you can hear them in any device. Music is the thing that not only entertains us, but also touches our soul and heart and it is the reason why we loves music. We got a simple solution for this; you can download songs from some good websites that can offer you music at cheaper rates. You can even download music for free, but it is considered illegal and in case you caught downloading illegal files, you can be penalized for this act. To avoid this problem, it is good to go for downloading high quality legal music at low rates. There are many websites that can give you the kind of music you wish, and that too at low prices. You only have to register on a good website, and then start searching for the music to download.
Downloading songs from the Internet is much easier than going to the market and purchasing CDs or DVDs of the same music. There is no need to leave your house and find the music store to get music, you just have to make the payment online and start downloading songs from the registered website. It is much simpler to shop for songs online from websites that are made for this purpose and they can offer you songs at lower costs.
You may also check out for more valuable information about mp3s on youtube.
If you wish to know about any website that can allow you to download songs, you can just look on search engines and find a number of them. But before getting registered to any website, you need to make sure that it has a lot of music in it. You do not want to spend a lot of money on a website that does not even give you enough choices in music.
If you enjoy exploring for more of your favorite music, click at free music downloads.
So it is best to go for a website that offers lots of genres in music that you can play and enjoy, and also share with buddies.

This is a late post.
Thursday night I went into the city for some r&r after my Haematology practical exam. There's lots of sales on at the moment, as its close to EOFY.
First stop was Diva on George St. Lots of nice rings for $3! :D. I bought 3, althought I could have purchased more, I stopped myself. I think the third ring does dwarf my hand though :S
I stopped off at Dymocks and bought a Horoscope book for $5. I like reading about my horoscope :) Dymocks has up to 85% off for a lot of books, I didn't have the time properly browse. But I will after my exams…hopefully the sale isn't over by then!
Then onto Lovisa, where I purchased a bracelet for $5. It wasn't as good as the Diva sale. :( Or maybe most of the good stock was gone?

Does anyone know what the official position is on OFSTED requiring the school to keep a copy of your passport on file if you were employed after 1996?
Our school are chasing staff up for copies of their passport at the moment, and a number of us aren't overly happy about the school keeping a copy of this on file!
Can anyone point to any specific information on whether the school are legally required to have a copy, or if they just need to show they've seen a copy/proved right-to-work in another way?
Surely the fact we have an NI number is proof enough?

Justin Bieber is about to score a very sweet plea deal in his Miami Beach DUI case ... TMZ has learned.
Sources familiar with the case tell TMZ ... prosecutors have backed off the DUI, resisting arrest and driving without a license charges, and they are working out a deal with Bieber's lawyers for the singer to plead no contest to reckless driving. The 3 charges will be dropped.
And this is the critical part ... prosecutors have backed off their demand for random drug testing ... something Bieber's lawyers would NEVER agree to for obvious reasons.
Bieber would not be entirely out of the woods ... he would be placed on probation -- it appears for 1 year -- which means he'd have to keep his nose clean.
We're told the deal could be finalized in days.
What? They think they still have a case? lol
once again celebs showing cops,prosecutors and judges .you do not **** with them when they break the law.the justice system is a flat out joke.
Hey! Don't cut that little lesbian any slack! What a joke.
F*ck you, you silly little talentless b*tch.. your days are numbered, your money will run out and eventually you will kill yourself, or at least we can dream...
this is why the **** wad does the things he does..surrounds himself with yes men, attacks paps with no reprocutions because his guards step in and protect him,breaks the law non stop because he knows as does everyone else he will get a slap on the wrist for doing so.due to money and fame
I wish this snotty boy was a bug and I'd step on him putting the entire world out of it's misery. He's just a pest.
guess they would have to drop the charges because of the mess that cop caused. if that cop really did lie about him drinking and driving and speeding, Bieber could sue big time. and I heard he never even got that first plea deal. tmz you should get better sources lol
The State is lucky they are getting anything. The whole case stunk because instead of waiting till Bieber actually did something the cops bare faced lied to make the stop and exaggerated the state Bieber was in. A set up is wrong regardless of who it is. Hopefully this whole thing taught the brat something. He has kept himself out of sight and out of trouble since.
Oh I get it: sounds like the prosecutor came to the Biebs and said, "oh ummm I've always wanted to be a singer, will you listen to my demo tape?" And Biebs is all like, "yes you can be the opening act on my tour dude." And the prosecutor is all like, "charges dropped!" The corruption and preferential justice is so obvious.
keep acting like thug, Justin because in about 10 years you'll be flipping burgers asking "would you like fries with that?"
Justin beiber is justa joke
Don't accept the plea deal Justin. Take them down in court. Money, power, respect. These crooked cops are about to get a life lesson 101.
He won't get in any trouble, he's white!
The only deal should be they'll drop all charges if he leaves the US and never comes back.
This little Douche!

Jeff is a letter carrier and volunteering to head up Colorado's Branch 47 for the National Letter Carriers Association (NALC) Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive. Helping to fight hunger is important to Jeff and his enthusiam for the drive is delightful!

Please leave a can or two or ten by your mailbox, Saturday, May 10 or make a secure contribution online - every $1 = five pounds of food for the drive! Stamp Out Hunger is the nation's largest food drive and we're hoping to make this year the best every!

It's National Volunteer Week!
11:23 AM on Tuesday, April 8th, 2014No Comments
Food Bank of the Rockies celebrates National Volunteer Week every third week in April. It's one of my favorite times at the food bank and a small way of saying "thank you" for these generous gifts of time. Volunteers make such a big difference, not only to FBR, but also to our partner agencies and neighbors in need. Even though we take this special week to recognize our volunteers, for me and our staff, every day we operate is a day to be grateful for their contributions.
Can we put a price on the value of volunteering? According to Independent Sector's most recent valuation, in Colorado, it's $22.43 an hour. Multiply that by the 143,617 hours volunteers contributed last year, and FBR volunteers are worth more than $3.22 million to our organization! Their hard work allows us to accomplish so much more than we could ever do on our own. To us, volunteers are priceless!
One of the best parts of my day is visiting with our "regulars". Day after day, week after week, year after year, we can depend on them to lend a hand. They pull orders, sort food, fill boxes, pack totes, help our drivers with USDA, Mobile Pantry and Nutrition Network distributions, assist in the office and prepare meals in our Community Kitchen. They are truly part of the FBR family and are some of the most wonderful people I've had the privilege of knowing.
In addition to our regulars, we work with many kind-hearted individuals and groups who just want to help out for a short time. From students earning community service to corporate groups coming to give back while building camaraderie, we appreciate and welcome each and every one of them.
If you've never volunteered at FBR, we encourage you to give it a try. Visit our website or give us a call to learn how you might be able to help. For everyone who has dedicated time to help us fight hunger, thank you. We salute your efforts!
Fighting Hunger is Disc-y Business!
4:55 PM on Monday, April 7th, 2014No Comments
Wonderful friends of the food bank for many years, Mile High Disc Golf Club visited FBR to tour our warehouse and share contributions raised over the past disc golf season. This generous organization and its players have been giving to the food bank for a very long time, helping to fight hunger in a big way.
This year, we were surprised to see their contribution more than double what it's been in years past. They stepped up their fundraising efforts, raising more than $18,000 and had one generous player kick in the remainder to write us a check for an even $20,000, enough to provide 80,000 more meals to our community!
Ray Woodruff, Mile High Disc Golf President said they wanted to give back after the holiday season, when school meals end with spring and summer breaks and many families struggle to find enough to eat. We are so grateful for the generosity of this terrific group and we know many families in our community will have a better spring and summer because of their kindness. Thank you Mile High Disc Golf Club members; you're all winners with our team!
Dawn's Story and Hungry Kids
2:22 PM on Thursday, April 3rd, 2014No Comments
Colorado weather is full of surprises. Spring break in Colorado could mean fun in the sun or playing in the snow. It could also mean hunger. Imagine not having the energy to run and play because you didn't have any food to eat today. Sadly, there are children right here in our community who don't have to imagine. School breaks and weekends should be a time for kids to make happy childhood memories, but for 1 in 4 Colorado kids, it's a time to worry when and where they'll find their next meal.
Dawn volunteered with us along with her work group from Sage Hospitality. She shared her powerful story about growing up in a struggling family where she often received food from shelters and through the generosity of programs like Totes of Hope™ and our partner agencies. She was excited to be able to give back and wanted people to know their gifts really do matter. "As a kid, you do remember the kindness and you do remember having something to eat."
Listen to her story and make a contribution if you can.
Success stories like Dawn's are only made possible through the kindness of our community. Thank you!
Ag Day is Awesome!
3:03 PM on Thursday, March 27th, 2014No Comments
Yesterday, we had the pleasure of representing Feeding Colorado to celebrate Colorado Agriculture Day, aka "Ag" Day. Colorado's diverse agriculture and food industry contributes greatly to our way of life and they are generous friends to food banks across the state. Our CEO, Kevin had the pleasure of speaking during the press conference, judging amazing culinary creations and celebrating the wonderful contributions made all year long to Feeding Colorado food banks and their partner agencies throughout the state.
"On behalf of Feeding Colorado, we are grateful for the generosity of the Colorado Agriculture Council and their continued support over the years," said Kevin Seggelke, president and CEO of Food Bank of the Rockies, the largest of five Feeding America member food banks that make up Feeding Colorado. "Feeding Colorado is dedicated to nourishing communities throughout Colorado by distributing food through our direct service programs and partner agencies. Far too many Coloradans struggle to put food on their tables and today's donation will make a big difference for them."
Because of their generosity last year, $973,000 in cash and in-kind contributions went a long way to help our hungry neighbors! Thank you to everyone in the agricultural community for your continued support of our efforts to fight hunger and feed hope!
22 Tons of Spuds!
2:44 PM on Thursday, March 27th, 2014No Comments
While we're still sad the Broncos lost the Super Bowl to the Seahawks a few months ago, we do know it's a good thing for the hungry people in the Pacific Northwest. Making good on a lost Super Bowl bet between Colorado Potato Administrative Committee and Washington State Potato Commission, a truckload of fresh Colorado potatoes is headed to our sister food bank in Seattle. And win or lose, our Colorado potato growers decided it would be a wonderful thing to also feed the hungry right here at home. What a treat to receive 44,000 lbs of Colorado potatoes freshly harvested from the San Luis Valley!
Produce is an important part of a healthy diet and potatoes are packed with nutrition. We know these spectacular spuds won't be in our warehouse long and soon will be part of a hearty meal for someone in need.
Thanks to both the Washington and Colorado potato growers for caring about hungry people in the community and a BIG thank you to our Colorado Potato Administrative Committee for sending over some of your bounty to help us feed our neighbors in need.
Arrow Electronics: A Bright Spark in the Fight Against Hunger!
2:12 PM on Monday, March 24th, 2014No Comments
Our friends at Arrow Electronics are no strangers to Fighting Hunger, Feeding Hope! They've been volunteering since 2011, sharing more than 1100 hours! And they've contributed funds for nearly 222,000 meals! It's exciting to know this dedicated company now has corporate headquarters in Colorado. We have a group that volunteers on a regular basis and last week we had the pleasure of meeting another team from the company headquarters, who joined us to pack USDA boxes for seniors. Their smiles and muscle power will help us pack close to 9,000 boxes to distribute to hungry seniors this month.
The food bank needs about 500 volunteers every week in our warehouse to help us fill orders, sort food, pack boxes, prepare Totes of Hope™ and cook meals for Kids Cafe. Financial gifts keep our refrigerators cold, our shelves full and our trucks on the road picking up food. We couldn't distribute more than 46.5 million pounds of food to feed hope in our community without help from generous individuals and corporations like Arrow Electronics. A big thank you goes out to the Arrow Electronics team for sharing your time, talents and contributions with Food Bank of the Rockies. You are appreciated more than you can imagine!
Do you have an organization who would like to volunteer? Learn more here!
Spring Break Can Be Heartbreaking for Hungry Kids
11:45 AM on Thursday, March 20th, 2014No Comments
The clock springs forward and the days get longer. Green shoots pop up in the flower beds and the birds chirp a little louder, signaling a change in season. Today is the first day of spring and for most of us, it's a happy shift to warmer weather. For many kids, it means a week off from school and a vacation from studies.
But for 1 in 4 Colorado kids, it can also mean a vacation from school meals and after school feeding programs, which is no vacation at all. Having nourishment is critical for developing and growing kids. A child going hungry in this land of plenty is simply unacceptable, yet every day, there are too many children who don't have enough food, especially during the breaks from school.
One of our volunteers recently shared her story with us. She said her parent made "bad choices" when she was a child, forcing her and her siblings to live in shelters and always wonder if they'd have a meal. She remembers dreading school breaks because that could mean going hungry. She also remembers getting food through programs like Totes of Hope™ - Children, After School Snacks and Kids Cafe. "I was too little to really know where the food came from but I was always so happy to be able to eat a good meal or bring something home to share with my family. Now I know it come from places like Food Bank of the Rockies and I want to give back because I know how important those programs were to helping me succeed in life."
You can help make sure Colorado kids have enough to eat this spring break and all year long by making a gift to our children's programs and Fighting Hunger Feeding Hope. Thank you for caring about our hungry kids and their families. Hunger knows no season. We appreciate your support!
A Presidents' Day Message from our President and CEO
5:55 AM on Wednesday, February 12th, 2014No Comments
We honor our Presidents this month because they've been charged with leading our country and regardless of your political persuasion; we can all agree this is no easy task. As President and CEO of Food Bank of the Rockies, I have the task of leading our organization to mission accomplished. Our mission states, "We will end hunger by efficiently procuring and distributing food and essentials to the hungry, through our programs and partner agencies." And we know this also is no easy task.
When we look back over the years, Food Bank of the Rockies can proudly say we've grown to distribute more pounds and feed more people today than ever before, more than doubling what we distributed just six years ago. We know this is due to the generous contributions of funds, food and time from our community and the mission driven work of our team at the food bank. For everyone's efforts, we are truly grateful!
But we also know this is still not enough to accomplish our mission. 1 in 7 Coloradans are struggling to put food on the table. Nearly 1 in 4 kids live in homes where they don't have enough to eat. And during these cold winter months, almost half the clients receiving food through our programs and partner agencies are deciding whether to heat their homes or eat a meal. These heartbreaking statistics mean our work is not done. And with more cuts coming to SNAP, we anticipate even more clients turning to food pantries in their time of need. We'll continue to fight hunger we need you to stay in the battle with us.
How can you make a difference? I like to bring up the visual of a three-legged stool. If any legs are missing or shorter than another, the stool can't stand. Our stool's legs are funds, food and time. We need all three to keep standing strong. Funds come from individuals, corporations, foundations, grants and estates. Every dollar we receive becomes 4 meals or 5 pounds of food. Food comes from our retailers, farmers, ranchers, wholesalers and community. And time can come in the form of volunteering at the warehouse, making a call to your congressperson, participating in our events, "liking" our Facebook page, following us on Twitter and LinkedIn, signing up for our emails and even reading our blog posts.
With continued contributions of funds, food and time, we'll keep on fighting and we thank you for being one of our soldiers! Every effort means kids like Jeff will have a warm dinner at a Kids Cafe. Seniors like Marjorie won't have to choose between taking medicine and having enough to eat. And pantries, soup kitchens, shelters, and other programs will continue to feed those who walk humbly through their doors, asking for something to eat.
We're glad you're thinking about us and reading this message. We appreciate you!
Warm regards and Happy Presidents' Day,
First Graders Help the Food Bank Provide 828 Meals!
10:45 AM on Saturday, February 1st, 2014No Comments
Peabody Elementary first grade classes greeted us with a warm welcome last week. Over the holidays, the three classes participated in the Kung Food Fighters Kids Club's Quarters for Kids campaign. The students raised $207.05 which translates to 828 meals!
We visited the school to pick up the coins and had a chance to talk with the students. When asked if they had to do anything special for their quarters, many said they cleaned their rooms, raked leaves, helped with the dishes, walked the dog and even helped out their neighbors! These bright kids were quick to say what it feels like to be hungry and shared how tummies growl and it's just "terrible"! They learned that many people can be hungry and it's hard to tell if someone is struggling to find food just by looking at them.
We appreciate the wonderful team of teachers who decided to team up with Food Bank of the Rockies and were moved to see everyone's enthusiasm about the project. Thank you Peabody Elementary for your warm welcome and big hearts. We appreciate your efforts to help us Fight Hunger and Feed Hope!

The Upgrade
Generally, I think the upgrade has improved performance, usability and some features, however you have also removed key functions that really undermine the upgrade. For example:
1) Removed the Analysis
No longer able to view the total spend per month comparing it to the avarage spend over a year
2) No ability to filter transactions quickly
I can't see how much I have spent in total for a particularly category. The check/uncheck boxes are cumbersome, there is no 'check/uncheck all' feature, and do not actually work when certain categories are unselected. A drop down filter on the transaction page would have been far much better.
3) The application generally works on an iPad, but many features no longer work as they did before.
4) No ability to export transactions
This would have been ok if point 2 didn't exist - but I can't find the transaction I am looking for anymore - this is a real show-stopper.
5) No ability to drill down into budget spend
I can view budgets, but I can't see what the money was spent on without going through the entire transaction history and adding it up myself
Overall, I believe the above removal of functionality is far greater than the benefit of the upgrade - and this is bad product management. An upgrade should not remove key functionality that prevents the tool from functioning the way it did prior - especially when the removed functionality are show-stoppers.

WEDNESDAY, April 23, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- More than 400 mutations were found in the healthy white blood cells of a 115-year-old woman, according to a new study that may advance what is known about limits of the human life span.
Genetic mutations have been linked to diseases such as cancer, but these findings suggest that mutations in white blood cells are largely harmless over a lifetime, the researchers said.
Blood is continually replenished by hematopoietic (meaning "to make blood") stem cells that are inside the bone marrow and divide to produce different types of blood cells.
Cell division can lead to genetic mutations and hundreds of mutations have been found in patients with blood cancers. However, little was known about white blood cells and mutations.
The woman in the study was the oldest person in the world when she died in 2005. She is thought to be the oldest person ever to donate her body to science. The hundreds of mutations identified in her white blood cells appeared to be tolerated by the body and did not cause disease.
The researchers also found possible new insight into the limits of human longevity, according to the authors of the study published online April 23 in the journal Genome Research.
"To our great surprise we found that, at the time of her death, the peripheral blood was derived from only two active hematopoietic stem cells (in contrast to an estimated 1,300 simultaneously active stem cells), which were related to each other," lead author Dr. Henne Holstege said in a journal news release.
The researchers also found that the woman's white blood cells' telomeres were extremely short. Telomeres, which are at the ends of chromosomes and protect them from damage, get a bit shorter each time a cell divides.
"Because these blood cells had extremely short telomeres, we speculate that most hematopoietic stem cells may have died from 'stem cell exhaustion,' reaching the upper limit of stem cell divisions," Holstege said.
Further research is needed to learn whether such stem cell exhaustion is a cause of death in extremely old people.

20s. Female. Candidate for Chin Reduction and Nasal Tip Rhinoplasty – Ohio
After many years of contemplating whether or not...
After many years of contemplating whether or not to get chin reduction surgery, I've decided it's finally time to get it done. I'd also like to correct my boxy tip nose and a small bump that I have on the bridge of my nose. Right now I'm on the search to find a skilled and board certified plastic surgeon/ dentist. I have been chatting with one doctor in particular who seems promising and skilled enough that I'd trust him to give the results that I'm looking for. I will be updating after I get further information from his office and then again after my consultation.

Congrats on your decision! Rhinoplasties are very intricate, so make sure you research your doctors carefully. Here's a list of questions to ask at your consultations. Please keep us posted on your progress!
Thank YOU for the information! I will continue to post and keep you updated :)

God is in the Details: A Survey of the Greatest Automotive Features
A car is certainly more than the sum of its parts, but sometimes it's the little details that make an otherwise good car iconic. These details can be subtle as the Mona Lisa's smile or bold as the LED spire on the new Freedom Tower, or, more often, somewhere in between. We've assembled a list of some of the best automotive features — both innovative and artistic, groundbreaking and evolutionary — to ever see the light of day.
Octane Icon: Lancia Stratos
Looking like the combination of a duck's bill and a chisel, the Lancia Stratos was developed as an homologation car (production numbers to justify its rally racing intentions) a year after the revolutionary Lancia Stratos HF Zero car debuted. It was a car with virtually limitless rallying potential based on its design and performance. The Stratos did want it was meant to do — devour dirty, twisty, bumpy closed roads with an insatiable appetite.
Orange Slice
1970 Lancia Stratos HF Zero
At the 1970 Turin Motor Show, Italian design house, Bertone, revealed to the world an automotive design so radical that it marked a new era in exotic automotive design, taking risks that seemed borderline insane. The 1970 Lancia Stratos HF Zero, or just "Zero" rocked automotive circles like practically nothing else before it. Bertone did…

The emergence of open educational resources and the implications for learning
Students can have a range of physical, cognitive, sensory, and learning disabilities that affect their entire lives. Any of these might pose unique academic challenges, particularly when learning mathematics. The good news is that technology is removing barriers for the education of students with disabilities in regular classrooms. Unfortunately, not all software is based on principles of universal design.
While the technologies collectively known as Web 2.0 have penetrated the consumer sector rapidly over the last four years or so, the process has been much slower and more measured in education. There were some breakthroughs in 2007, with upward trends in the adoption--or at least availability--of Web 2.0 technologies in the areas of teacher professional development and supplemental instructional technologies, such as podcasting, streaming media, and blogging.
I began this three-part investigation on using biometrics in K-12 after reading The Truth about Biometric Devices in Schools. In part 1, I defined biometrics and indicated that they are creeping into nearly every market in our society, particularly since the tragedy of September 11. There are applications used in education to authenticate transactions; control entry into various facilities; monitor time and attendance; secure access to laptops, PCs, and networks; and more. I introduced you to the most commonly used biometrics in schools, which are fingerprints and handprints, provided resources for you to make your own investigation into the nature of those technologies and products available, and left you with concerns to think about. Now I'll delve more into those issues that have been raised by parents, students, and civil liberties groups. All of this is intended to help you better decide to ban its use or buy into biometrics. Stay with me, for in part 3 we'll look at vendor claims and a sound business plan of action that leads to a security solution you really need.
If I still taught in K-12, would I use a blog? It's one of those new technology tools that some of us digital immigrants might struggle to appreciate. Knowing what I do now, I probably would at least try one because blogs can support the collaborative element so important for peer to peer learning. While some blogs serve personal agendas, in education they can be used for student journals and portfolios, communication with parents and community members, faculty coaching, classroom management (e.g., posting assignments), and other knowledge management tools (Long, 2002) and enhancing classroom discussion.
While there is quite a lot being written about Web 2.0 tools and how they can increase opportunities for students to engage with content, their peers, and teachers, more must be explored in terms of the skill benefits to students when these tools are used effectively.
As social media becomes ubiquitous, schools and districts should shift from trying to control its use and toward teaching faculty and students how to build successful learning communities.
With the right tools, students can experience science in a meaningful way, while being challenged and engaged. Erika Fosgreen, accelerated program coordinator at Imagine Rosefield and Imagine Prep Surprise in Arizona, shares her experience doing just that.
The federal government lately has been passing out lots of money through competitive programs by way of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). Together, the grants represent a huge investment in education, while providing one more example of the golden rule: He who has the gold makes the rules. What will those rules be going forward?
In the first segment in this series, we covered the pedagogy behind student videogame development. We addressed how learning as doing, collaborative & peer learning, tutoring, ownership, and publication are critical components to game development. We also addressed benefits of videogame making, including content area knowledge acquisition, students as producers of information, and the potential of game-making for encouraging STEM-related careers for women and minorities.

Five banks bidding on Algerian airport project
Algeria's seemingly never-ending airport project is on the go again, and five European banks are reportedly bidding to finance the venture. The five include Germany's Deutsche Bank, Britain's Sterling Merchant Bank, and France's BNP-Paribas, Societe Generale, and Caisse de Depot et de Consignation.
Work on the new airport started in 1986, but it has been dogged by a lack of funding and has virtually been frozen over the past year.
Passengers flying into Algiers these days arrive at the Houari Boumediène International Airport, located 20 kilometers east of the Algerian capital. It is the home base of the national carrier Air Algérie, and is also serving Air France, Alitalia, Balkan, Egyptair, Jamahirya Libyan Arab Airlines, Royal Air Maroc, Saudia, Syrian Arab Airlines and Tunis Air. — (Albawaba-MEBG)

Beyonce's "I woke up like this, flawless" will forever be my self-love mantra, but Kendrick Lamar's new single "I" is a worthy addition to the list of awesome personal empowerment anthems. Lamar, who was robbbbbbbbed of the Best Rap Album award at the Grammys, finally dropped the song today — a precursor to the release of his hugely anticipated sophomore album, due later this year — and damn will it have you bopping your head and shaking your booty. Featuring a sample from the Isley Brothers' "That Lady" — Buzzfeed notes that the '60s band was also sampled on rap classic like Ice Cube's "It Was A Good Day" and Biggie's "Big Poppa" — "i" is fun and joyful, while still full of Kendrick's conscious lyricism and distinctive flow: Keep reading »

Mahendra Singh Dhoni, sometimes abbreviated as MS Dhoni and poularly known as Mahi or Captain Cool by many former Indian players,(born July 7, 1981 in Lavali Village Almora, Uttarakhand) is an Indian cricketer and the current captain of the Indian team. Initially recognized as an extravagantly flamboyant and destructive batsman, Dhoni has come to be regarded as one of the coolest heads to captain the Indian ODI side. Under his captaincy, India won the 2007 ICC World Twenty20, CB Series of 2007-08 and IDEA Cup India-Sri Lanka ODI Series of 2008, the first ever bilateral ODI series win of India in Sri Lanka and the Border-Gavaskar trophy 2008 in which they beat Australia 2-0. Currently Dhoni is the top ODI batsman in the ICC ODI rankings. Mahendra Singh Dhoni was awarded the ODI Player of the Year award in 2008, the first Indian player to achieve this feat. He led India in a streak of 9 ODI wins, an Indian record. He was conferred the Padma Shri, India's fourth highest civilian honour, in 2009.
