MINNEAPOLIS, MN March 30, 2014 An estimated 1 in 500 people worldwide suffer from familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH), an inherited condition of extremely high cholesterol that is associated with premature heart disease and death. Despite this high prevalence, recent research funded by the Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation (MHIF) confirms FH is underdiagnosed and undertreated. Thomas Knickelbine, MD, Preventive Cardiology Director at the Minneapolis Heart Institute at Abbott Northwestern Hospital, will present the results of research aimed at identifying just how prevalent FH underdiagnosis is at the American College of Cardiology (ACC) meeting in Washington, DC on March 30.
Dr. Knickelbine and a team of MHIF researchers analyzed the electronic health records (EHRs) of 391,166 consenting ambulatory patients seen at Allina Health locations between 2009 and 2012 to identify individuals who were at least 80% likely to have FH (determined by low-density lipoprotein [LDL or "bad" cholesterol"] levels and age). They discovered 841 patients (0.21% or 1 in ~465) who were likely to have FH only 36 (4.3%) of them had been diagnosed with the condition. "Provider recognition of FH is extremely low," explains Dr. Knickelbine. "Our research shows we can effectively use EHR data to identify asymptomatic FH patients and improve early diagnosis and treatment of this high-risk condition."
In this large, ambulatory patient population, the researchers also found that FH was undertreated. Of the 841 patients likely to have FH, 64.8% were on statin medications, but an additional 25.8% were not currently on a statin nor were they reported to be statin intolerant. In addition, only about one fourth of the identified FH group had achieved their NCEP LDL goal, and only 31% had been seen by a cardiovascular (CV) specialist.

First Trailer For Disney's 'Maleficent' Starring Angelina Jolie & Elle Fanning
The first teaser trailer for Robert Stromberg's upcoming fantasy film Maleficent has been released. This is the untold story of Disney's most beloved villain, Maleficent (Angelina Jolie), from the 1959 classic "Sleeping Beauty." The film reveals the events that hardened her heart and drove her to curse the baby, Aurora. Sharlto Copley, Sam Riley, Imelda Staunton, Miranda Richardson, Juno Temple, and Lesley Manville also star. Maleficent opens in theaters on May 30, 2014.
From Disney comes "Maleficent"—the untold story of Disney's most iconic villain from the 1959 classic "Sleeping Beauty." A beautiful, pure-hearted young woman, Maleficent has an idyllic life growing up in a peaceable forest kingdom, until one day when an invading army threatens the harmony of the land. Maleficent rises to be the land's fiercest protector, but she ultimately suffers a ruthless betrayal—an act that begins to turn her pure heart to stone. Bent on revenge, Maleficent faces an epic battle with the invading king's successor and, as a result, places a curse upon his newborn infant Aurora. As the child grows, Maleficent realizes that Aurora holds the key to peace in the kingdom—and perhaps to Maleficent's true happiness as well.

Union power at issue as Garcetti elected LA mayor
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The next mayor of Los Angeles was able to defeat a fellow Democrat by depicting her as a pawn of utility union bosses in the city long friendly to labor, an outcome expected to echo beyond California as unions nationwide face threats to their clout.
With all precincts reporting Wednesday, city Councilman Eric Garcetti defeated city Controller Wendy Greuel, 54 percent to 46 percent, in the matchup of two occasional allies at City Hall.
Garcetti has his own labor ties, but he said Tuesday the difference in the contest was his grassroots support and "not any power brokers." His TV campaign ads relentlessly pounded Greuel as "DWP's mayor," a reference to the Department of Water and Power, where workers financed ads trying to install Greuel at City Hall.
Garcetti's victory amounted to blowback against an agency often seen as indifferent to customers and with workers who have been criticized for landing generous wages and benefits, even during tough economic times when the city had to make cuts.
"The single biggest issue was who was beholden to the unions the most, and that is the single-biggest reason Wendy Greuel lost," said Republican National Committee member Shawn Steel.
"It becomes a signal that if you become the candidate identified as the government-union candidate, it's going to be hard to get elected," even in heavily Democratic Los Angeles, Steel said.
Greuel's close relations with DWP allowed Garcetti to run against the status quo, making him appealing to conservatives and Republicans who might have otherwise defaulted to Greuel or stayed away, said Raphael Sonenshein, executive director of the Pat Brown Institute of Public Affairs at California State University, Los Angeles.
"Labor is now so strong and successful in Los Angeles that it has the potential to be characterized as the establishment," Sonenshein said. "This is a reflection of the kind of political flip side of labor becoming much more powerful."
Garcetti will take the helm at the troubled City Hall on July 1, replacing outgoing Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa after his two uneven terms.
It will be a sharp shift in style. The mayor-elect has jammed with pop star Moby, was a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford, and can talk urban development or summon up his old break-dance moves with equal aplomb. Actress Salma Hayek, a supporter, said Garcetti "can do it all well."
Though his margin of victory was comfortable, it was not impressive.
Preliminary returns showed he captured the job with a meager 182,000 votes in a city of nearly 4 million people and 1.8 million registered voters.
It ranked among the lower turnouts on record in the city long known to shrug at local politics.
Garcetti sent out a tweet thanking voters and saying he is honored to lead the nation's second-largest city.
In a statement, outgoing Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa said: "I know I am leaving Los Angeles in good hands."
During his campaign, Garcetti, 42, promised to increase jobs and patch up the city's battered streets and sidewalks.
He will be the city's first elected Jewish mayor when he takes office.
Greuel thanked supporters for bringing her tantalizingly close to becoming the city's first woman mayor and urged them to line up with Garcetti.
"I may not have been able to break through the glass ceiling last night, but you sure helped me put a crack in it," she said.
Referring to her defeat, she said, "you pick yourself up and move on."
With Italian and Mexican roots from his father, Garcetti shares a Latino heritage and a command of Spanish with Villaraigosa. But Garcetti has a far different resume than the exiting mayor — the product of a broken home from the tough streets east of downtown, with an outsized personality and never-quit smile.
Garcetti is the son of a former district attorney who grew up in the tony Encino enclave in the San Fernando Valley. He attended Columbia University and enjoys playing jazz piano.
During the campaign, he often envisioned a gentler Los Angeles in which kids bike around neighborhoods and enjoy playing baseball and eating ice cream.
Married with a young daughter, he's promised to be a back-to-basics mayor — an apparent reference to Villaraigosa's playboy reputation.
A steady stream of negative advertising from the campaigns and outside groups helped obscure the candidates' promises about free-flowing traffic, new jobs and better schools.
The lack of public interest came despite the high stakes.
A key issue has been the city's shaky $7.7 billion budget and the prospect of living with less. Spending is projected to outpace revenue for years, and rising pension and retiree health care bills for municipal workers threaten money that could otherwise go to libraries, tree-trimming and street repairs.
Villaraigosa urged his successor to try to block a 5.5 percent pay increase for civilian employees, while new contracts are on the horizon.
Greuel and Garcetti emerged from a March primary in which no candidate secured the majority needed to win outright, leading to Tuesday's runoff. More than $30 million was spent overall in the mayoral contest.

What kait said.
I'm constantly amazed at runners who think they are great athletes. For the most part we are bad team sports people who found the track team and got into great shape.
I'd bet that any of our Olympic Distance Runners would prefer to be making $10MM/Year in the NBA, if they had a choice. Running is not a first-choice sport.
Breaking five minutes/mile would not be tough for a representive college age male sample group that trained specifically for the event and had motivation to do so.
It's tougher for sedentary adults whose bodies have changed but not impossible. Most adult-onset runners train for half marathons and marathons. Not 800's and miles.
I can tell you that almost any male who really wanted to run under 5:00 could do it, whether their fat, tall, short, muscular, couch potato, whatever. If they actually trained for it consistantly, they could do it. I would actually predict that over 90% of males could run under 5:00, excluding those who have disabilities disabling them from running.
I know a guy who had little talent. He was naturally a big guy, and not so much in a good way. He ran cross-country and track and played basketball from 7th-11th grade. He was never very serious about it, and often skipped runs or cut them short. His senior year he was a bit more dedicated and lost some weight, but ne never ran more than 40mpw. He ran 5:00 once, and 4:58 in his last meet. This was as an 18 year old too. You can't tell me that if a male dedicated several years to running and trained consistantly and passionately they couldn't break 5:00, especially if they were in their 20s.
Yeah, after thinking about it more, I am upping my % to well OVER 50%. 90% is pretty high, but I would go with that before I would go with 3%... that's loony-speak.
I totally agree this is the relevant question.
Several people have sited how many in their high school/state did break five; as a starting point; and tried to extrapolate based on guys in other sports etc.
So we are talking potential to break 5, not those who actually did. When I think of my high school class which did have a fair number of football, basketball, volleyball and hockey players. No way could a majority of those guys break 5 if they dedicated themselves to it. Maybe you went to a school of gifted athletes!
|distance guy
I don't even know how to start to refute these huge percentages being thrown around. I asssume those of you citing proper motivation would agree that offering a $1 million prize would be sufficient incentive. I'd also guess you'd think 4 years of HS would be enough time, and the ideal time in a guy's life to undertake the sub-5 attempt.
Now I think back to the guys in my HS class. There were probably 4 or 5 of us who actually did break 5. Probably another 5 out there who could have if a season was dedicated to running. Now, I'd be willing to double that 10 to a grand total of 20, if everyone wanted to train knowing there was $1 million on the line, and was given 4 years to do so.
So now we're up to 20 guys in a class of about 150 guys (13%). And this is a total fantasy. Take away that $1 million, and take away everyone dedicating 4 years to this pursuit, and we're down to around 2-3%. This number is a more accurate assessment of how many guys are motivated enough, and train enough to actually break 5:00 for the mile some time in their lives.
I disagree. The football, baseball, lacrosse, hockey players in my school were all more gifted natural athletes than the track geeks. The "leftover" runners by and large all broke 5 minute miles and we did not have a strong high school coach.
You suggesting that Americans are just wayyy more talented than Canadians? Consider if all your HS buddies moved south to better climates, eh? Then, they would've been able to break 5.
Personally, I think few than 5% has the talent to learn how to ice skate.
why would you extrapolate based on guys in other sports? that's not the question. you can't seem to move away from your actual experiences in order to address the question asked: what percentage of male human beings are born with the physical talent to run a sub 5 minute mile?
and on what basis do you say "no way could a majority of those guys break 5 if they dedicated themselves to it"?
didn't you say earlier than you have run 6 consecutive sub-5 miles? and they couldn't even run 1?
most of us on here that ran in college could run at least 3 sub-5 miles consecutively in our sleep. i think it's beyond arrogant to think that other athletes couldn't run one sub-5 mile.
again, it's just not that fast.
ok, so how many guys in your class at your school ran middle distance/distance events all four years and were motivated? it would be pretty unusual for that number to be above 10. if we assume 10, then your numbers show us that 50% is normal, not 13% as you claim.
and the million dollar prize as fantasy? that's the question we've been asked to address - the hypothetical.
|distance guy
I don't know what the percentages are, but a large percentage of guys don't even play one sport in high school. So, now all of a sudden, the guys who aren't even willing or able to participate in anything, will suddenly find the motivation and ability to train sufficiently to run this fast???
Physical ability is one thing, but everyone still has a brain, and most guys' brains will tell them after a while that running sucks and to stop doing it. The suffering and dejection wouldn't take too long to kick in, assuming an injury hasn't already sidelined them. Think of how many runners have a hard time putting together solid blocks of training without getting hurt. It would be worse for the general male population.
And I run a lot, and could never "run at least 3 sub-5 miles consecutively in my sleep". That's just a very conceited statement, which helps to show how far you are from reality.
|distance guy
It was never mentioned in the original post. Hypothetical and fantastical (is that a word?) are two different things.
|W. Mitty
With all due respect, I think that everyone on the board knows the difference between what people COULD do vs. what they ACTUALLY do. The question is how do you go about answering the question of the OP, which Kaitainen restated quite precisely as:
"what percentage of men are born with the talent to be able to run a 5 minute mile under ideal conditions?"
The key thing is, how do you go about answering that question? What counts as evidence?
Mandingo, A-10, the 5:00 female runner, some others, and I all opted for conjectures based on an empirical approach derived from direct experience, observation, anecdote, vo2 max requirements, the relative incidence of sub 5 high schoolers, data from the 5th Ave mile, and some elementary statistical reasoning.
Our estimates ranged from 1% to 14% (ballpark figures), or 1/100, 1/35, 1/20, 1/7. That's still a pretty wide range if you put it in those terms. Could very well be wrong but I don't think it's "loony-speak". It's certainly a long way from the 50% - 80% that you and others advocate.
I'm sorry if it has escaped me but I don't recall any specific evidence that you have brought to bear on this discussion? You might (probably) have perfectly good judgment on this subject; but reasons and evidence are better than appeals to (personal) authority, or subjective memories of what high school classmates could have done. And, to repeat, I am perfectly aware of the distinction between actual and potential.
Which leads me to a possible way out of this impasse. Rather than argue from experience or estimates of innate potential, which can verge on the metaphysical, perhaps we need to identify the physical and physiological attributes that go with running a 5:00 mile. Things like vo2 max, ft/st muscle fibers, running economy, height to weight ratio, etc. I don't know; I'm not a scientist. (For the sake of argument, we can assume ideal motivation, although in real life we know that mental toughness is important.)
Then it becomes a question for the physiologists like Jack Daniels: What attributes are necessary for running a 5 minute mile OR what attributes have been correlated with a sufficiently representative sample of 5 minute milers (different but related).
Once these traits are identified, then simply count the proportion of the population that has them, fit a regression line, and you will have a reasonably close estimate answering the original question.
Surely there is some research out there already. I'm open to changing my mind.
Saying that runners are bad at basketball has nothing to do with how good basketball players would be at running. Distance running and basketball attract people with different physical traits, and unless you're Skuj you should realize that genetics have a lot to do with whether you could ever break 5:00 or not.
I think if you took a group of typical, healthy 20 year old males and had them train consistently and they avoided injuries, between 40-50% would break 5:00 within 3 or 4 years.
1% or 3% as people have mentioned is just ridiculous. I've broken 5:00 thirty pounds overweight and having hardly run in months.
On the other hand, 90% is definitely too high. Some people, including a lot of people who are otherwise very athletic (explosive events), just don't have the genetics for it. There are plenty of people who run several times a week and can't touch 6:00; adding a long run and some intervals would not take over a minute off their mile time.
Among males who are not overweight and reasonably fit, I think the majority of those who are capable of breaking 5:00 would do it within the first 6 months of beginning quality training.
the question asked stated an assumption. it said "if they were motivated". so yes, we are assuming motivation. if you reject the premise of the question, how can you respond to it?
and yes, most division one distance runners can run 3 sub-5 miles consecutively in their sleep. that's what i said, and i believe that it is true. i don't know too many division one distance runners who couldn't run 5:00 pace for a 5k. ok, maybe "in their sleep" is overdoing it. but most of them are able to do it on race day. and many do it during workouts. my point in mentioning that is not to belittle those who cannot do that; my point is that the truly talented slice of runners are running times that aren't even close to the 5 minute mile barrier, and the 5 minute mile barrier is one that is accessible to most male human beings.
good points. another measure that i would suggest would be to look at those who actually were motivated and who actually did the training. what percentage of those males have broken 5 minutes in the mile? can you honestly think of a single person who you know who ran for 3-4 years, did sufficient training, and who could not break 5 minutes in the mile? (again, limiting this to an appropriate age range, around 15 to 25).
sure, plenty of freshmen and sophomores in high school struggle to do so, but how many seniors? how many college mid-distance and distance runners, whether DI or DIII, cannot break 5 minutes in the mile?
surely you will come back and say "that's a self-selected group." i certainly can't deny that. but if the numbers in that group approach 100%, then why would you assume that people self select for sport so well that something that some of you view as nearly impossible for others to accomplish (3% chance, including the track athletes) is accomplished at a rate of close to 100% by those who attempt it?
did you all really know that you had that much talent in running before you even stepped onto a track?
|Coach D
Dr. Daniels' Oxygen Power equations give a VO2max figure of 59.4 for a 5 minute mile, while the typical non-training person has a figure of 40-44, and for people who are not high responders to exercise, gains over 15-20% with training are not commonly seen. This yields a median VO2max value in the 52 range, which is not even close to what is needed do run sub-5.
These figures fit quite well with what we see in road race results, with often only 10% of contestants breaking 20 in a 5K, which is roughly equivalent to a 6 minute mile, and many fewer breaking 18. Keep in mind that about 40 million people in the US (15% of the population) chose to run at all, and less than 10 percent of these chose to race. And of this group (somewhare between 1-2 million from Running USA surveys) still it seems a very small number actually can run sub-5.
The median value in the US would be roughly a 6 minute mile (with training), not 5 minutes.
|A curious observer
My high school had about 600 seniors. 5% of them (30) were in the XC or track (distance) teams, and we only had two sub-5 runners.
Assuming a third of the seniors in the track team were complete slackers, and another third were partial slackers, we have 10 dedicated guys on the team, and only 2 of them broke 5.
That's 20% folks, not the 60-90% range that many people are talking about.
I observed other high schools, and the 20% figure was about right there too.
I thought we agreed that looking at ability (not achievment) in high school was a logical starting point since for many this is their peak or close to peak physical condition. IT really becomes a question of the sample size of guys is x; a small portion of those actually train for running and achieved a 5 min mile, and how many of those who didn't could have. So you start going through the sports and the sedentary people who didnt' but 'could' have. Citing division 1 runners who can do 3 in a row is extremely irrelevant. I know the training I did and can compare against even the running population to know where 6 back to back sub 5's places somebody but it doesn't get us closer. I think the analysis of mvo2 is the most scientific. THe mvo2 needed versus the average and how much people can improve put the percentage much lower than 50%.

Is my doctor oppressive when she tells me to lose at least 2 kilos to have hormone blocker therapy? (Ah, I'm transgender) Surely not?
Asked by
Why wouldn't she be oppressive to tell you that?
I'm not a doctor and I don't know the ins and outs of hormone blocker therapy. Is this a dosage issue? I'm befuddled as to why there would be a weight cutoff to get this done. Is it just that the therapy has been tested and developed on thin people exclusively, so it isn't optimal for the body chemistry of a fatter person?
It's either your doctor being oppressive, or the medical research community, who doesn't consider fat bodies worth developing therapies for. So yes, definitely oppression. Perhaps someone with greater knowledge of the therapy can state exactly how.
Yep, flat out oppressive. I'm cis, but my wife is trans. I'm guessing that since you're on blockers, you're a trans woman (trans men don't take them, AFAIK), and we're talking about spironolactone or one of the other anti-androgens.
Here's what my wife wants people to know about this:
The single biggest risk of death for trans people is suicide, even more so for people who cannot or have not transitioned. Among trans people who survive long enough to be surveyed about these things, something like 41% of them have attempted suicide at least once.
The most prominent health risks for going on blockers are <I>low</I> blood pressure, and that some of them can cause buildup of one or another minerals in the system (spiro is a potassium-sparing diuretic; potassium is not washed out of the system in urine).
The risk that a trans person will commit suicide for being denied transition treatments is far, far higher. So are risky behaviors and drug use.
This is straight up body policing, and part of a long tradition of policing the bodies, not only of fat people, but of trans people. Trans people, especially trans women, have been denied access to transition because they are too fat, or not pretty enough, or just not attractive to the doctor. Standards of treatment are moving away from this, but there are absolutely still doctors out there doing it.
Yes, HRT can cause weight gain in both men and women. Denying them HRT can be deadly, though. Denying people HRT is incredibly dangerous, and is nothing but bigotry, or bigotry combined with paternalism and possible fear of legal risk.
We strongly, strongly recommend you find a new doctor. There may be a local organization of trans people who can recommend you a better one, although you may have to travel to reach them. Do not trust any doctor who places more importance on your weight than on your life and health. It is very common to have to try several doctors and therapists before you find one who knows all of the above and is willing to give you the hormone prescriptions. Keep trying.
Good luck. It's rough out there, but it can get better.

Those of you who have been visiting this site for a while, will already be familiar with Mark Getty's work as I've featured previous artwork by Mark featuring Anthony Kiedis in the past. Mark is about to launch a new solo exhibition in Scotland and one of his paintings on display will be his latest portrait of Anthony.
The Lemond Gallery – Mark Getty SOLO SHOW
Saturday 17th August – Sunday 25th August 2013 11.00am to 5.00pm daily
Summer solo show of around 50 new paintings by realist artist Mark Getty.
There is also a chance to meet Mark:
MEET THE ARTIST – Saturday 17th August 2013, between 1.00pm and 4.00pm www.lemondgallery.com
There's a two hour RHCP online show tonight by Bram van Splunteren who many of you will know already from his documentary work on RHCP. He's interviewing fans from around the world and there might just be a few people you recognise! (yes, he has my number so who knows?!)
As we've been reporting, Anthony's father, Blackie Dammett, has been writing his autobiography and I'm really happy to be able to say it's now finished and online! It's called 'Lords of the Sunset Strip' -obviously referring to the time when Blackie and the young Anthony were involved in the club scene on Sunset Blvd in Los Angeles (as also mentioned in AK's own autobiography, 'Scar Tissue.')
Clearly, as it's Blackie's autobiography, it contains stories and mention of his son, Anthony Kiedis, but it also mentions the Red Hot Chili Peppers so it's a great read for fans of Anthony himself and the band as a whole.
It's available to download from Amazon (I won't give links as you have to download from the Amazon website for the country you are in; just search for the book and it's really easy to find!). Blackie has given so much to the RHCP community over the years so please support him in this venture and download it; the book has been a real labour of love to him. Enjoy everyone!
And on a personal note:
Thank you so much Blackie for the mention in the acknowledgements; it means so much to me. It's been an honour to have helped support you in any way I could. I'm so delighted this book is now published after all of your hard work and efforts. Congratulations! Rebecca Billingham <3
Many thanks to Ines Hrkać Perković for help with this!
'The Boys Go to America' talk about going to Anthony's house in Malibu and there are shots of both the inside and the outside of the house.
Many thanks to Simona Morisi and Luna for sourcing this!

It is two weeks from the first game of the regular season and the Arizona Diamondbacks are no closer than they were a month ago to choosing a starting shortstop. Both Chris Owings and Didi Gregorius have not done anything worthy to consider themselves the leader in the clubhouse. Owings has a couple of extra base hits with two errors while Gregorius has three hits in 15 at-bats with some solid, if not unspectacular plays in the field. But don't take it from me. The manager sure seems like he hasn't made up his mind yet as this quote via Nick Piecoro at azcentral will attest:
"Defensively, I think you'd give Didi an edge, offensively give Owings an edge," manager Kirk Gibson said, speaking more generally than in specifics about their Cactus League performance. "We knew that going in. Didi's probably got a little more range, a little more athletic with his arm. C.O. is probably a little more vanilla fielding, but then again, offensively, I would say C.O. probably has a little more in there."
Shocking, right? Then again, Gibby could have already made up his mind and is being coy about his true feelings. After all, the general belief is that one of these guys could easily be traded by the time April rolls around. Why give even the slightest knock on either Owings or Gregorius? Any small negative connotation brings down their trade value.
At this rate, we may not know who is the starting shortstop until the plane departs Sky Harbor International Airport for Australia. Unless Owings hits for the cycle or Gregorius backflips like Ozzie Smith, these guys will be even for the next ten days. Bold prediction: with management emphasizing on more than one occasion the importance of defense, a need to balance out the lineup and the fact Kevin Towers traded Trevor Bauer for him, Gregorius will be the man at short. What's your prediction?

The picture above encapsulates the first 7 games of the Bears season pretty well. Jay Culter is getting hit and hit on a regular basis. Bears offensive linemen can't keep the opposition out of the backfield and therefore, our franchise quarterback is taking a pounding. It's getting a little scary, so we need to lighten the mood a bit.
This is the way it's going to be, so we might as well have a laugh about it. Bear Goggles surely did as they compiled a list of the "Top 10 Ways to Protect Jay Cutler." Enjoy this. It's well done. My favorite is probably their idea to "Dig a Moat at the Line of Scrimmage." I'm pretty sure even that wouldn't save Orlando Pace from epic failure, but hey, it couldn't hurt at this point.
Post your comments below. Which suggestion from the list is your favorite? I'm sure Jay Cutler is appreciative that we're thinking of him. Somebody needs to look out for the guy, right?

So your joints are stiff, as evidenced by the cracking sounds they always make. A slight movement will cause you tremendous pain. Something's wrong, terribly wrong. You know it's time to seek an orthopedic doctor, but where do you start?
Your best bet would be to head over to your local GP and to ask whether he knows of a good orthopedic surgeon, chances are that he's got a handy list of them. Get his opinions as to which is better and the reasons why, he might have heard back from patients he's referred in the past, and he'll be a rather reliable information source. You could also ask relatives or friends who have had to seek the help of an orthopedic surgeon in the past, they would be able to tell you from first-hand experience whether the doctor was good. Ask as many people as you can, so that you can filter out irrelevant or else false information. Be sure to ask around and get informed opinions, as a wrong choice can cause you an awful lot of pain. If all else fails, you could always surf review sites and browse through the opinions of the general community, so as to have a good idea of which doctor would be most suitable for you. Do be aware that some reviewers would deliberately upload misleading information, therefore be sure to check on the credentials of the reviewer before deciding on the orthopedic.
Credentials / Experience
Now that you've got a few doctors in mind, look up their qualifications. Was it board certified and does it adhere to the state guidelines? It would also be useful to know how long they've been in the field, and how satisfied his patients were with their treatment. The larger the number of happy patients, the more likely you'll not have a bad experience. If you needed to have surgery done, look up the success rates of the surgeon, it'll be a reliable measure of his competence.
Meet the doctor once to find out whether he's the correct one for you. Sit down and explain your symptoms.
Does he listen carefully and run the necessary tests to determine your exact condition, or does he simply prescribe generic treatment and medication? If you aren't sure whether you'll be able to make a sound judgment, bring a chaperone along. Although professionalism and being detail-oriented are important factors in picking the right orthopedic doctor, it's all a matter of personal preference as to which is the perfect doctor for you. Go with your gut instincts, if you dislike a particular doctor although he has higher credentials and a better reputation than another doctor you had in mind, go with the latter. It will make you feel more at ease.
How much are you willing to fork out? Are the treatment and prescription fees commensurate to your budget? Find a local surgeon whose fees match those that you are going to pay. It would also be good to agree on a predetermined figure beforehand, to ensure that the final payment does not exceed your financial budget. Ask friends and relatives who had seen an orthopedic doctor before, so as to get an idea as to the approximate fees and costs.
There you go. You're well on your way to pick a orthopedic doctor that will meet your needs perfectly.

Podolak, Kuhn to play side by side
Mike Podolak and RickKuhn have gone head-to-head over many a golf course over the years. This weekend, though, it will be a side-by-side configuration for the North America Cup competition at Hawktree Golf Course.
Today and Sunday eight top North Dakota golfers take on eight of their Manitoba counterparts in an international showdown at Hawktree. The opening ceremony is scheduled for 8 a.m. Sunday's action begins at 9 a.m.
"It's just like the Ryder Cup format with one point if you win a match and half a point if you tie," said Steve Bain, executive director of the North Dakota Golf Association. "It could be 8-0 on Saturday and Sunday there will be eight more points."
Manitoba and North Dakota field eight-man teams.
The North Dakota team includes three Bismarck golfers – Rick Kuhn,Mike Huber and Parker Dire. Kuhn was the 2007 NDGAgolfer of the year.
This morning four foursomes will play four best ball matches with four points at stake. The afternoon event consists of four alternating-shot matches with four more points up for grabs.
Sunday's schedule calls for eight singles matches, each worth a point.
North Dakota's team, which also includes Podolak, Greg Melhus,Clint Nelson,Jeff Lamp and Chad Skarperud, was selected on the basis of a point formula applied to the 2007 NDGAtournaments.
"They have different criteria (for team selection) up there than we do,"Bain said. "… Ours is based on a point system in (NDGA)tournaments we sponsor in North Dakota.
"We probably have 150 golfers with points and whoever comes out on top is on the team. TomHoge from Fargo is one of the top collegiate golfers and he was invited but because of a schedule conflict he couldn't participate."
Bain said one name jumped off the Manitoba roster. "Irecognized Garth Collings…. He's one of the top golfers in Manitoba," he said.
Several of the North Dakota golfers have previously played together in a team format.
"Rick Kuhn has played on at least one team and Mike Podolak has been the captain four or five years,"Bain said. "Melhus and Nelson have played on the team before."
North America Cup play occurs in even years. In odd years the NDGAsends a three-man team to the USGA state team event. Podolak, Nelson and Melhus are all three-time veterans of the USGAteam event.
Bain said making a team of golfers who are normally opponents makes for a positive situation.
"These guys all compete against each other all year long and for one tournament they get together as teammates and it's a different atmosphere," Bain said. "… You've got the same pride associated with it that you do on the national level with the Ryder Cup. The guys really go after it.It's a lot of fun, and we have a good weekend."
This is the 12th North American Cup matchup, the first in Bismarck. North Dakota has won six of the first 11 with one draw, but Manitoba has won two of the last three matches.
Manitoba:GarthCollings, Winnipeg; Jesse Skelton,St. Francois Xavier; Scott Markham,WInnipeg; Brad Kirton,Winnipeg; Peter More, Winnipeg; Tyler Mancini, Winnipeg; Stewart Bannatyne, Winnipeg; Scott Borsa,Selkirk; DonCook (non-playing captain), Winnipeg.
NorthDakota:RickKuhn (captain),Bismarck, Mike Podolak,Oxbow; Mike Huber, Bismarck; Greg Melhus, Oxbow; Parker Dire, Bismarck; Clint Nelson, Fargo; Jeff Lamp, Fargo;Chad Skarperud, Fargo

Honeywell India Technology Centre helps Haryana School with Science education
Honeywell (NYSE:HON) last month announced its Honeywell India Technology Center (HITC) is helping more than 600 local students learn about science and technology though a partnership with a local school.
10 volunteers from the center, backed by a $10,000 (INR 620,825) contribution from Honeywell, are participating in a program to provide experiential learning opportunities through interaction with technologists and engineers. The program is part of Honeywell Hometown Solutions, the company's corporate citizenship initiative, which seeks to address certain needs in the communities it serves.
"Honeywell is committed to promote science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education worldwide through a series of unique programs designed to inspire the next generation of innovators ," said Simon Hobbs, senior director for HITC. "This program affords students an opportunity to work with some of Honeywell's top technologists and engineers to learn more about potential careers."
The program is being run in partnership with Sanskriti School, a Haryana government funded school in Gurgaon, to impact class IX students before they choose their subject streams. Students participate in workshops and exhibitions and use science lab kits specifically designed to suit the school's academic curriculum.
"At Sanskriti, we aim to provide the best education to our students with experiential trainings and hands-on workshops. We welcome such initiatives and are delighted to have Honeywell employees volunteering to enhance the STEM program," said Surender Mehndiratta, principal of Sanskriti School, Gurgaon. "Their hard work and dedication to the project is visible and I am sure that the batch will benefit from these workshops and contributions."

Rams Struggle to Improve in Second Game
by Rams Nation's Don Ackerman
As you know, pre-season is the NFL's version of make-believe. Even though tickets are regularly priced, what you see means nothing. Players will be evaluated but it'll be tough because either they are going through the motion to get their reps or they are facing 2nd- or 3rd-string backups on the other team. In either case, the Rams primarily looking to fill some spots and evaluate their backups.
Friday's pre-season game showed me a team that is struggling to improve. On of the low-lights was that right tackle John St. Clair (#70) is not quite ready to protect the franchise, Kurt Warner. It also showed us that fumble-itis is still lingering on the Rams squad. The wish was that fumble-itis would leave with it's host, Az-Zahir Hakim who over the last couple years suffered from the ailment. It was bad to see the ball loose even though the Rams took some solid hits that should have knocked the ball loose.
Another bad sign I noticed were wasted timeouts in the first half. Last year, the Rams often ran out of timeouts long before the half was over. What this costs the Rams is a potential official review (there are plenty of opportunities there!) or valuable stoppage of time. In this pre-season game, Warner burned two timeouts in one drive in the 1st quarter. Timeouts have their purpose and you don't want to use all of them too early in a game. You never know when you might need the.
Don't think I make this "wasting timeouts" judgment lightly. There's a fine line between making a mistake, a misread, or a wasted opportunity and using a timeout wisely. If things go back, hindsight would say "you shoulda took the timeout." However, I don't like seeing the quarterback calling timeout for no obvious reason. Hopefully, this is simply dealing with the new personnel on the field and not a continuation of last year's problems.
But it wasn't all bad. On a good note, the Rams in the second half saved their timeouts. They took their 2nd timeout with 17 seconds left in the game. There was not wasting later in the game.
Also, on another good note, Mitch Berger (#17), the free-agent punter, looked great! Though he only averaged 40.4 yards on seven kicks, Berger boomed kicks of 51, 61 (which was called back), 54, and two for 45 years. That's great! He average was killed by two kicks under 30 yards (27 and 26 yards) and one 35-yarder. He showed great promise and though we hope not to need him, it'll be great to have that weapon ready!
In the improving department, running backs Trung Candidate (#24) and Lamar Gordon (#34) both showed great speed as did Terrence Wilkins (#82). The Rams continue to show great speed and should cause fits for any team trying to defend them.
Overall, game 2 was a mixed bag of good and bad. The Rams have high expectations for 2002 too but I know Mike Martz wants to see a lot of improvement in game 3 of the pre-season. I'll be watching that game carefully to see if the Rams can iron out the wrinkles I've seen thus far.
Ram on,

your whole life photoshopped .. bye
So……. From these shots, it looks as if this era is looking like it's going to be a 2012 cross-section/revamp of her 'Christina Aguilera/Stripped' era's. 'Innocently-s***' tes is what I'm recieving.
"Your Body" was her 'Come on Over (All I Want Is You/Dirty' and "Blank Page" is her 'I Turn To You/Beautiful'.
I see you Tina. I see you.
BUT – HURRY THE f*** UP WITH THAT PROMO b**** OR ELSE I WILL DRAG YOU AND YOUR STANS IF YOU FLOP!!!
She looks great, specially in the last 2 pictures, good luck with the album.
TGJ Wants to slam Britney and Mariah in thier promo's yet Xtina is photoshopped more than anyone….Especially her refurbished perfume ads….they dropped her 5 dress sizes in a single click!!! Such a fake…Shes says shes proud of her "curves" yet she does this s***…!!!

I assume you're talking about that 'recent' picture of her in the pink dress with the bob sitting in the chair. Guess you didn't notice that that picture is her perfume ad from 2010 and the idiot press (a couple outlets) idiotically posted that it was new and acted like it was photoshopped. Some website literally pulled that old ad out of their ass and made an article about it and tried to make a 'photoshop' scandal about it, when really, it 's old as hell and is in no way relevant to her new perfume campaign (which has been posted and she is at the weight she is now). Research, sis, and don't believe every single thing you read online.
I think this is her worst era in terms of photography. The album cover is beyond cheesy and ridiculous. She should've picked the last one as the cover. She doesn't look good in the first two pics with the pink hair either. But as long as the music is good I'll be happy. "Back To Basics" is her best era in terms of EVERYTHING. The album packaging was on point as well everything else!
why does she have no neck in the 4th pic?? apart from the floating head, i love them!

This looks brilliant as far as photography. & her promo has been going, just because she hasn't perform doesn't mean she hasn't been promoting. There are various forms of promo, do your research. She's been doing national interviews talking about her album & she did do an acapella of "Your Body" on Jimmy Fallon, which now has multiple hundreds of thousands of views on YouTube, on Fallon's official channel,

L.A. is the ultimate anonymous city: except when you choose not to be, you are generally alone. New Yorkers are never alone. It's surprising that street crime happens here at all, since muggings and rapes require solitude for the proper intimacy between criminal and victim, and in New York you have to go looking for a genuinely deserted block of street. Furthermore, whereas at night it can get dark in some parts of L.A., New Yorkers are never without light, at least the artificial kind.David Klinghoffer

real time
Occurring immediately. The term is used to describe a number of different computer features. For example, real-time operating systems are systems that respond to input immediately. They are used for such tasks as navigation, in which the computer must react to a steady flow of new information without interruption. Most general-purpose operating systems are not real-time because they can take a few seconds, or even minutes, to react.
Real time can also refer to events simulated by a computer at the same speed that they would occur in real life. In graphics animation, for example, a real-time program would display objects moving across the screen at the same speed that they would actually move.

Summertime snowball fight
Grouse Mountain, Vancouver, BC.
Grouse Mountain, Vancouver, BC.

Treelines "Get Grown" - www.streamingcafe.net (by StreamingCafe)
I think of us when we're older when I hear this.
"No man should go through life without once experiencing healthy, even bored solitude in the wilderness, finding himself depending solely on himself and thereby learning his true and hidden strength."
-Jack Kerouac, "Lonesome Traveler"
It was my father who first got me into camping, hiking, and general backwoods awesomeness. I spent part of my childhood making tents, huts, and clubhouses out of whatever I could find. Sometimes they would inflate to full-blown villages, and all my siblings and cousins would help me pave the roads, cook the mud-food, collect the weed-grains and the sand-salt.
Much later in life I came upon an amazing show called "Survivorman". I immediately became addicted to the adventures of Les Stroud as he trekked for weeks in foreign back country, a modern Indiana Jones as far as I was concerned. I was hungry for a backpacking experience of my own, and yet I didn't even have experience in camping alone.
It wasn't until last night that I finally decided, "Jack was right. This is something I have to do."
Now that I've done it, I suppose I should sum up what it's like:
When you're out there alone, something changes in you. You accept everything as it is, and in the quiet dark of the night, your camp fire crackling as the coals dim to nothing, the sound of distant interstates intertwined with the call of the wild and the sighs of the trees dancing in the wind…that's when you start finding yourself.
You come back with the assurance that you can survive.
Derek glides his hands across the backs of the books. "I was taking a look at your book shelf here earlier and I have to admit, I was tempted to steal a couple." I look up from the shelf. "Oh?" "Lots of great writers here, some fine stories. I've been meaning to write down some of my own, eh." He gulps the last half of his wine glass. "You write?" I ask curiously while looking out the corner of my eye at his stained mouth. After licking his lips, he rubs the corners of his mouth with his sleeve, looks up and says, "Sure, I got stories. Man, you wouldn't believe the shit I been through. I've had knives pulled on me, transvestites fucking jumping me… yeah, man-oh, I got stories."
Walking back to the kitchen to refill his glass, he continues, "Ever since I was 16, I wanted to travel to South America. I started learning the Espanola in high school. Got pretty good at it. Saved up a pile of dough waitering here and there, then caught a plane down south with nothing but a backpack, a little map book and a camera. Spent 8 months travelling from country to country, province to province, living in hostels - some real shit holes." He walks back into the living room with a full glass in hand. "Got by pretty well - ya know, considering I was just a kid, only had 'bout $3000 in US on me. Went all the way from Mexico City down through Venezuela and Chile to…" He pauses and looks at his wine glass. "…and Panama. Once I got back to Toronto, I knew I had to get back down as soon as possible. I tell ya I been working in the hospitality industry for years, eh? I got lots of experience. So I spent the next few years saving up. Moved over here to Vancouver 10 years ago. Had some problems back home I had to get away from." He takes a mouthful of wine and briefly looks at the floor. "But I saved up a lot of dough over the years. I'm real good at saving money. I just always had the big picture in my head. Gotta save up. Gotta get back down to Panama City. Gotta hit the road. I'm just not built for this concrete jungle, ya know? Man, I walk around this city and all I see is people running around flustered and pissed off with their jobs, their girlfriends, just their life. I can't live like that. I gotta get the hell outta Dodge, you know what I'm saying?" He raises his shoulders and laughs unabashedly. When he smiles he uncovers his grisly brown-stained teeth, a sight that had made me uneasy since I met him. "So I saved up about $15,000 in US — my life savings. Went down to Mexico, got a job in the hospitality industry. Actually, I plan to start my own business down there." He looks down at his empty glass and heads back to the kitchen.
Spanish Sahara is exquisite.

There was a breakage on the windshield window. The service man did not point out when renting. But they acknowldge it was there before. But it make me really worried when I noticed while driving on the road.
Customer service has horrible. The woman at the counter was really rude. Since we were in a hurry, we didn't bother to talk sense to her. We have used U-HAUL before. This location is the worst.
Everything was good. Return was easy and quick.
They charged me 30$ when i returned the truck as i picked it up at 1/4 and they argued with me that its not on the line where it was clear on the 1/4 center line. I will never go back to this location and will not recommend this location do to its poor service
The attendant said she would be at the location until 5pm. When I arrived at 4:30pm she was not there. I called the number available and she showed up 5 minutes later. However, she was not polite. Her customer service skills could be drastically improved.
Give dollies as complimentary option
Lady was very nice friendly and kind , great job !
Your tire tread separated from the tire.
You endangered me, and other drivers on the road and caused countless dollars in damage as cars hit the tread down the freeway.
I would only recommend U-Haul to the risk prone annoying youth whose survival is of no significance to me.... that or you have no other options.
I rented the van to pickup some furniture. I was suppose to pick my stuff at 3:30pm but unfortunately i got the van at 3:48 pm which I was suppose to get at 3:00 pm. I have to be halted there because of the POS system as it was not working properly and because of that I couldn't get the delivery as the person left.
The vendor was not well prepared and quite frankly, pretty rude.
I would start with cleaner trucks.
ask if there is anything they could do to make person more comfortable with driving the rental ( ie questions about controls or driving tips for example ).
overall, the rental process was easy and efficient, as was the return. The truck was clean and ran well, and the 2 people I interacted with were friendly, helpful and efficient.
I would use this UHaul rental again,and would recommend it to friends.
The mileage fee is too much.

Nate Silver has a fun and entertaining post about the best ballparks in the nation. I have only been to two ballparks in my life: 1) The Astrodome, where I got to see a roided up Mark McGuire on his homerun streak with great seats down the first base line; and 2) The Ballpark in Arlington, where I got to see the Rangers play the Red Sox at a time when neither team was very good. Of the two, I enjoyed the Ballpark, and I still haven't been to Minute Maid Park - the new home of the Astros. However, the day I get to go to Fenway is the day I have died and gone to heaven.

Lawmakers worried about toxic byproducts from natural gas drilling wells in other states convinced the legislature's Judiciary Committee Monday to approve a ban on "fracking" waste coming into Connecticut for storage or treatment.
The bill has yet to go through the state House or Senate, and faces competition from other legislation backed by Gov. Dannel Malloy for more state regulation of fracking waste. A third bill would put a two-year moratorium on allowing natural gas drilling byproducts to enter this state.
While it was clear the anti-fracking waste easily passed the committee, a final vote total won't be available until later this afternoon.
Malloy has been promoting natural gas as a cheaper, cleaner alternative fuel for Connecticut than oil or gas.
Some opponents of the fracking ban charge that it's hypocritical for this state to benefit from the increase in natural gas production because of fracking while prohibiting its treatment or storage here.
But lawmakers from both parties warned Wednesday that the waste products from fracking or "hydraulic fracturing" are now unregulated by the federal government and can be highly dangerous.
State Sen. Edward Meyer, D-Guilford, said fracking waste can be "highly radioactive and full of toxic metals." State Sen. John Kissel, R-Enfield, said what he's seen happen around the U.S. as a result of natural gas fracking "has been deplorable."
"There are communities that have just been laid waste," Kissel said in support of the ban.
Fracking is a process by which millions of gallons of water and chemicals are pumped at high pressure deep into natural gas and oil shale deposits deep within the earth. Connecticut doesn't have any of the right type of shale for natural gas or oil, but there are massive deposits beneath Pennsylvania and New York. State officials say they don't believe any of the three privately owned Connecticut companies capable of processing fracking waste are now receiving any of those toxic materials for storage or disposal.
Some studies have indicated those wells have caused pollution problems and earthquakes for nearby communities. Fracking critics say disposal or treatment of the waste is a major environmental problem.
State Sen. Michael McLaughlan, R-Danbury, has his doubts and argued that a ban now would "jumping the gun." McLaughlan said the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is now in the middle of a detailed study of fracking and its waste products.
Other Republicans on the committee said they would prefer to support a moratorium or Malloy's proposal to give state environmental regulators far more control over what can come into Connecticut from fracking wells.
State Rep. Rosa Rebimbas, R-Naugatuck, said she doesn't like the idea of a total ban because it would prevent Connecticut researchers and high-tech companies from doing research on the best way to clean up and process fracking waste. "We're kind of putting the cart before the horse," she said.
