The study findings replicate the outcomes of the influential Well Elderly 1 trial, but extend them to a more ethnically diverse population living in a wide range of community settings, demonstrating the lifestyle program's value for the general public.
The results of the Well Elderly 1 trial, conducted in 1997, were used by the London-and-Manchester-based National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) to develop recommendations for British public health policies.
"Although people are living longer, it is important that they also live better. This intervention results in improved quality of life and provides a vehicle for maintaining health as we age," Clark said.
The Well Elderly 2 trial demonstrated that, compared with other interventions, this lifestyle intervention was cost-effective. For every dollar spent, there was a significant enough gain in health outcomes to justify the expenditure, according to Clark.
"The American public needs to know about this," she said. "Making positive changes in how we live each day, and sustaining those changes over the long term, is critical for maintaining independence and healthy aging."

Early season DL stashes
The last few days before the start of the season can lead to depression. With rosters nearly set, the only thing left for team's to do is officially put injured players on the disabled list. While elite talents, like Mike Minor or Cole Hamels, were still selected in most leagues, injuries can knock some questionable players to undrafted status. If you play in a league that allows for DL spots, or you don't mind biting the roster bullet, a few of these players can come in handy later in the year.
- Aroldis Chapman - Chapman's injury takes him out until at least mid-May, and it's unclear whether he'll need more time to get back into the swing of things. It's pretty tough to justify stashing a closer, but Chapman is an elite talent, so you know you'll get a great performance once he returns.
- A.J. Griffin - Griffin is one of those players who likely would have been selected late in most drafts if not for his injury. His upside isn't all that high, and he allows way too many home runs, but he provides decent strikeout numbers. Elbow injuries are always less worrisome than shoulder issues, so you have to hope he doesn't have any setbacks.
- Josh Johnson - It's no surprise to see Johnson open the year on the disabled list given his history. That said, he performed fairly well during spring training and still calls Petco Park his home. He's worth a speculative add.
- Carlos Quentin - Yes, he's already hurt. Yes, this probably won't be the last time. But you can't argue with Quentin's production when he's healthy. He's one of the few players who has enough power to muscle balls out of Petco. He'll provide cheap power for someone in your league until he gets hurt again.
- Jurickson Profar - There's a chance the owner who drafted Profar will hang on to him. If he's still out there, he's worth waiting on. Profar was the best prospect in baseball last season. Don't judge him on his rookie season stats.
- Derek Holland - This one's looking real deep, as Holland isn't expected back until at least midseason. But he has enough upside to make a huge difference for Fantasy teams in the second half. Holland took a major step forward last season, and likely would have gone around the same time as Homer Bailey in drafts if he had stayed healthy.
- Jesse Crain - It's really hard to stash a speculative closer, so I would actually say don't do this. But if you are really desperate for saves because you missed out on the closer run during your draft, he could provide nice value.

In 2010, after 22 years as manager, Brown-Aiwohi purchased the studio herself and built a new location to house it at the Aiea Town Square. Immediately, she transformed a franchise that had been known for its 1980s-style glitz into a full-service photography studio that captures images of clients just as they are. "After all the glitz and glam, people wanted to look like themselves—they wanted more of a natural look," Brown-Aiwohi told Pacific Business News in 2010, shortly after the move. Today, Headshots Hawaii is the only remaining Headshots franchise of dozens that had opened in the 1980s and 1990s, and Brown-Aiwohi's dream is still going strong. As a partner of the Miss Hawaii Pageant, Headshots Hawaii snaps photos of reigning Miss Hawaiis, drawing on Brown-Aiwohi's experience as a former pageant queen and model. Photographers also shoot images for weddings, businesses, aspiring models, and airtight alibis, tailoring the style to suit the client.

AIDS or Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome is a sort of disease that attacks our system of immunity and weakens it from within. It takes away your capability of fighting other diseases, putting your body at the risk of getting damaged easily. This disease became apparent from the early 1980s and now it has taken the proportion of epidemic in many countries. Both heterosexual and homosexual people get affected by this disease through sexual intercourse and blood transfusion. There is a misconception that only the gay people get inflicted by this disease but this notion is baseless.
Human Immunodeficiency Virus is the reason behind AIDS. As this disease is dangerous and spreads through physical intimacy, there are many myths regarding it. Homosexual people practice anal sex for gratification and it is through anal and oral sexual intercourse that they get infected by the HIV. In a homosexual relationship one partner is active and the other is passive. During the anal intercourse the passive partner is the recipient and the active partner penetrates the anal passage. Among the gay people the recipient of anal intercourse or the passive partner is more at risk of getting AIDS. The active partners transmit the virus during ejaculation.
The gay people are victims of social discrimination in many countries. Many have to hide their sexual inclination and they do not get access to health care amenities for preventing the disease from spreading. Condoms are the very basic tool which gay partners can use for preventing AIDS from spreading. Not only sexual intercourse, there are other ways through which a gay person may have got AIDS. Non-sterilized and used needles can easily transmit this disease from one person from another. People who take drugs often get AIDS by using the same needle. Lack of awareness is also a reason why gay people get AIDS.

How to Get Over Anger Caused by Video Games
Three Methods:Calming Down in the MomentAddressing the Cause of AngerIdentifying a More Serious Problem
Playing video games can cause some people to experience feelings of anger and frustration. Anger can be spurred by the content of the game, by the player's skill, or by outside factors. Being able to deal with the anger in the moment and on a longer-term basis can help you have a healthier relationship with your gaming hobby.
Method 1 of 3: Calming Down in the Moment
1Put down your controller. You don't want to break your video game controller in a fit of anger; the prospect of having to buy a new one may make you feel even angrier. If you feel yourself getting very angry, put the controller down and walk away from the game.Ad
2Recognize physical symptoms of anger. Many people show signs of anger in their bodies, even before they realize that they are feeling anger. You may be heading towards an outburst due to your anger towards the game if you are experiencing any of the following symptoms: [1]
- Tense muscles and clenched jaw
- Headache or stomachache
- Increased heart rate
- Sudden sweating or shaking
- A dizzy feeling
3Give yourself a break from the game. If you have become angry, you should take a break from playing the game. Distract yourself from the aspect(s) of the game that made you angry by doing something else for a little while. Taking time to cool down[2] may allow you to return to the game with fresh eyes, and you may find yourself more successful upon returning to the game later. Some ideas of ways to distract yourself from the game are:
- Call a friend (or meet with one in person!)
- Make yourself a meal or snack
- Clean your room, the kitchen, or the bathroom
4Go outdoors. A change of scenery is an effective way to cool down quickly, [3] and being outside often improves people's mood quickly.[4] Give your senses a break from the noise and images of the screen by going outside and enjoying the slower pace of nature. Limiting video game/screen time and increasing outdoor time may be a good idea for your overall temperament. [5]
5Get physical exercise. One of the best ways to get over an angry mood is to experience what psychologists call "the exercise effect." [6] Getting physical exercise can make people feel happier in as few as 5 minutes. [7] The nature of the exercise doesn't matter as much as ensuring that you elevate your heart rate and get some "feel good neurotransmitters" called endorphins[8] flowing through your body, which improves your mood.
6Take deep breaths. Becoming angry can elevate your heart rate, cause you to shake, and make all of your muscles tense. [9] You can counteract these effects with deep breathing. Deep breathing is one of the most important steps in meditation, which can contribute to controlling emotions. [10] Even if you do not fully "meditate," using deep breathing techniques can offer similar benefits. [11]
- Count to three as you inhale, hold the breath in your lungs for three more seconds, and count to three again as you exhale. Focus only on the numbers as you do this.
- Be sure that each breath in fully fills your lungs, causing your chest and belly to expand. Exhale fully each time, and pause between the exhale and the next inhale.
- Keep breathing until you feel that you have regained control.
Method 2 of 3: Addressing the Cause of Anger
1Remember why you play video games. Ostensibly, you play the games for a form of entertainment because you enjoy playing. If you experience chronic anger as a result of the games you're playing, think about taking on a new hobby that you enjoy. If you are not having fun, it's not worth continuing your "relationship" with certain games.
2Play a less violent video game. Studies have linked playing (or even watching) violent video games to increased feelings of anger and aggression.[12] These effects are particularly pronounced in males who already tend to have anger problems.[13] If you feel angry after playing or watching violent games, try switching to different skill-based games without the violence.
3Consider that you may be frustrated by a lack of success. Another study has found that it's not violence, but a lack of success, that causes feelings of anger.[14] A study that made a version of Tetris more or less difficult based on the configuration of the controller (one was intuitive; the other was difficult to learn) showed that people felt angry and frustrated when they did not do well at the game, despite it having no violent images.[15]
- This suggests that you may feel better if you go back to an easier level or play a game in which you are more likely to be successful to help you break out of your video-game-induced anger.
4Block or avoid another player who is making you angry. If someone is trolling or harassing you on a MMO (massively multiplayer online) game, block or report the other player. It's not worth engaging with someone who is just trying to get a rise out of you. Be sure that you are aware of the game's community or user guidelines before reporting a player so that you are sure that they are acting inappropriately based on the MMO's expectations.
5Realize if outside factors are influencing your emotions. Sometimes people experience anger (towards people or inanimate objects) if they are really experiencing other emotions that are more difficult to deal with. [16] If you find yourself excessively angry about a video game (particularly if it is unusual for you to become angry), assess other aspects of your life that may be bothering you.
- For example, if you have just lost your job or gotten in trouble at school, you may feel frustrated and out of control of your life. Failing to master a new level of a video game on top of the other experiences may lead you to blow up about the video game, even though it is not the primary cause of your feelings of powerlessness.
6Put a game away if it constantly frustrates you. This may not be what you want to hear, but if there is a particular game that causes you chronic anger—whether it is from violence in the game, an inability to master new levels effectively, or even an annoying character—you may want to change to another game. It's okay to put away a game for the sake of your emotional well-being.Ad
Method 3 of 3: Identifying a More Serious Problem
1Diagnose a video game addiction. If video games or your reaction to them are beginning to seep into your everyday life, you may be experiencing a video game addiction. Addressing an addiction is important to maintain a healthy emotional life. You may have a video game addiction if you experience the following:
- You become angry, violent, or depressed when you do not spend time playing video games[17]
- You play in secret and lie to others about how much time you spend playing video games[18]
- Video games have taken over your will to engage in other hobbies, schoolwork, or your job [19]
- Playing video games is increasingly more important to you than spending time with other people in real life [20]
- Note that a video game addiction (internet gaming disorder) is not a formal diagnosis because it is not yet in the DSM V, which is the official guide for psychological diagnosis. More research on the matter is needed before it can become officially diagnosed.[21]
2Don't let your emotions control you. You should be in control of your emotions; they should not control you. If you feel like your anger in response to video games has taken on a life of its own and you are no longer in control of it, then you should seek help with anger management. You may want to see a therapist or take an anger management course. It's likely that your anger is not only in response to video games and is present (or will become present) in other areas of your life as well.
3Ask for help if your anger turns violent. You should seek help for anger management if your feelings of anger are causing you to feel violent towards others. You may want to seek help in the following situations:
- You think about harming yourself or others[22]
- You use physical violence (such as hitting) towards people or objects[23]
- The problem is chronic, happening over and over again[24]
- Anger towards the game seeps into other areas of your life
- You have a record of violent or aggressive behaviors at work or towards a loved one[25]
- You feel unfulfilled in your life[26]

Book, Music and Lyrics by JONATHAN LARSON
Over the course of its groundbreaking 12-year New York run, RENT transformed the definition of musical theatre — and changed Broadway forever. With book, music, and lyrics by Jonathan Larson, RENT is an imaginative retelling of the classic Puccini opera, La Boheme. Set in New York City's gritty East Village, Larson's rock-opera tells the unforgettable story of a group of young artists learning to survive, falling in love, finding their voices and living for today. "Measuring their lives in love," they strive for success and acceptance while enduring the obstacles of poverty, illness and the AIDS epidemic.
With the permission of the Jonathan Larson Estate, this version of RENT has been adapted for use in schools and other producing organizations. While retaining the dramatic intent of this groundbreaking musical, minimal changes have been made to language and one song ["Contact"] has been deleted.
RENT was originally produced in New York by New York Theatre Workshop and on Broadway

The story integrates contemporary music and dance to tell an emotional tale about a community of young artists who celebrate life while struggling to make it in New York's East Village. Based on Puccini's La Bohème, RENT is a modern day story of love and loyalty that utilizes pop, rock 'n roll, R&B and Latin, to single-handedly reinvigorate Broadway. It focuses on the lives of Mark, a film-maker, whose girlfriend, Maureen, a drama queen performance-artist-turned-lesbian, leaves him for another woman, Joanne who is an attorney. Mark lives with his roommate Roger, a struggling musician who just wants to write "one great song" before he dies of AIDS. One day he meets Mimi, an S&M dancer also with AIDS, and who is addicted to heroin. They fall in love. Mark and Roger's ex-roommate Tom Collins, a philosopher, who has just returned from M.I.T meets and falls in love with Angel, a Latino street-drummer/drag queen. They also have AIDS. Mark and Roger are continuously hounded by their ex-roommate Benny, who is now their extremely wealthy landlord begging them for the rent. It focuses on a year in their lives, and their struggles of paying the rent, eviction, death, drugs, and living one day at a time.
List of Characters:
Mark Cohen: A struggling Jewish-American documentary filmmaker and the narrator of the show. He is Roger's roommate (and also once Collins', Maureen's, and Benny's); at the start of the show, he was recently dumped by Maureen.
Roger Davis: A once-successful but now struggling musician and ex-lead singer and rock guitarist who is HIV positive and an ex-junkie. He hopes to write one last meaningful song before he dies. He is having a hard time coping with the fact that he, along with many others around him, knows that he is going to die. His girlfriend, April, killed herself after finding out that she was HIV positive. He is roommates with Mark.
Mimi Márquez: A Hispanic-American club dancer and drug addict. She lives downstairs from Mark and Roger, is Roger's love interest, and, like him, has HIV. She is also Benny's ex-lover.
Tom Collins: An anarchist professor with AIDS. He is described by Mark as a "computer genius, teacher, and vagabond anarchist who ran naked through the Parthenon." Collins dreams of opening a restaurant in Santa Fe, where the problems in New York will not affect him and his friends. He was formerly a roommate of Roger, Mark, Benny, and Maureen, then just Roger and Mark, until he moves out.
Angel Dumott Schunard: A young transgender woman and street percussionist with a generous disposition, who has AIDS; Collins' love interest.
Maureen Johnson: A performance artist who is Mark's ex-girlfriend and Joanne's current girlfriend. She is very flirtatious and cheated on Mark (presumably with Joanne). Larson considered Maureen a lesbian, despite her relationships with men, and he specifically identified her as "lesbian" in the script itself.[17]
Joanne Jefferson: An Ivy League-educated public interest lawyer and a lesbian. Joanne is the woman for whom Maureen left Mark. Joanne has very politically powerful parents (one is undergoing confirmation to be a judge, the other is a government official).
Benjamin "Benny" Coffin III: Landlord of Mark, Roger, and Mimi's apartment building and ex-roommate of Mark, Collins, Roger, and Maureen. Now married to Alison Grey of the Westport Greys, a very wealthy family involved in real estate, and he is considered a yuppie scum and a sell-out by his ex-roommates. He at one time had a relationship with Mimi.
Mrs. Cohen: Mark's stereotypical Jewish mother.
Alexi Darling: The producer of Buzzline, a sleazy tabloid company that tries to employ Mark after his footage of the riot makes primetime.
Mr. and Mrs. Jefferson: The wealthy parents of Joanne Jefferson
Mrs. Davis: Roger's confused mother
Mrs. Marquez: Mimi's Spanish-speaking mother
Mr. Grey: Benny's father-in-law who wants to buy out the lot.
The Man: The local drug dealer whom Mimi buys from and Roger used to buy from.
Paul: The man in charge of the Life Support group.
Gordon: One of the Life Support members.
Steve: One of the Life Support members.
Ali: One of the Life Support members
Pam: One of the Life Support members
Sue: One of the Life Support members. As notated in the script by Larson, the roles of all of the Life Support members are encouraged to take on the name that someone in the cast (or production) knows or has known to have succumbed to AIDS. In the final Broadway performance, Sue is renamed Lisa.
Squeegee Man: A homeless person who chants "Honest living!" over and over during "Christmas Bells".
The Waiter: A waiter at Life Cafe.
The Woman with Bags or Homeless Woman: A woman who attacks Mark for trying to help her during "On the Street".
The Preacher or The Pastor: The Preacher kicks Collins out of the church because he can't pay for Angel's funeral.
Junkies, Leap of Faith Back-ups, Homeless, Bohemians and Vendors

January 26, 2015

The days are getting shorter, the nights are getting colder, and the holidays
are just around the corner. In other words, it's almost winter time
in the Bay Area. Before the really cold weather sets in, it's important
that your furnace is prepared for the demanding winter season ahead. Making
sure your furnace is in tip-top shape will help keep your family comfortable
during the coldest days and nights ahead, and can even help save you quite
a bit of money on your heating bills and
furnace repair costs. Here are some professional tips on how to prepare your furnace
for winter.
Change the Furnace Filter
The easiest thing you can do to prepare your furnace for the upcoming winter
months is to
change out the furnace filter. A dirty, clogged filter can cause your furnace to work harder than usual,
which can increase your utility bills and also lower the working lifespan
of your heater.
Inspect the Exhaust Flue
If you are familiar with the layout of your heating system, you should
be able to locate the exhaust flue. It's important that you inspect
the exhaust flue before the furnace kicks on for the winter season to
ensure your family's safety. Leaves, sticks, bird's nests,
and other debris can cause a dangerous build-up of carbon dioxide in your
home if you use a gas-burning furnace.
Schedule a Furnace Inspection
If you want total confidence and peace of mind in your furnace this winter,
schedule a season inspection with a furnace repair company in Berkeley.
In addition to inspecting your furnace for any issues and problems, a
technician can also perform a tune-up to make sure that your heating system
is running at peak efficiency this winter.
The heating repair experts at
Albert Nahman Plumbing & Heating of Berkeley can make sure your furnace is good to go for the winter season.
Call us today at (510) 843-6904 to schedule a furnace inspection and seasonal
tune-up. We also provide 24/7 emergency furnace repair services for your
comfort and convenience.
A clogged drain in and of itself might not be much of a plumbing emergency,
but the fact that something is causing your pipes to drain slowly is concerning
and can lead to much bigger problems in the future if not addressed. Although
some minor drain clogs can be cleared with DIY techniques, other cases
may require
professional drain cleaning services. If you're the do-it-yourself type, try these easy drain clearing
techniques before you call a plumber in Berkeley to clean your drains.
Reach for the Plunger
If you have a plunger behind the toilet, under the sink, or inside your
broom closet, go ahead and take it out at the first sign of a clogged
drain. Plunger can clear most minor clogs from sinks, tubs, and toilets.
For bathroom sinks, stuff a wet rag into the overflow hole while plunging
to help deliver pressure directly to the clog.
Use a Plumbing Snake
If plunging doesn't work, your next most viable option is to use
a plumbing snake, or plumbing auger. You can rent or buy a plumbing snake
from your local hardware store if you don't already own one. Plumbing
augers work by twisting a cable through the pipe to break up clogs.
Check the Plumbing Vent
Believe it or not, the answer to a stubborn clog may be found on your roof.
A clog in the plumbing vent can cause your fixtures to drain more slowly,
which may lead you to believe that the problem lies inside the pipes.
If plungers and plumbing snakes don't work, climb on top of your roof and
inspect the plumbing vent for any visible blockages.
If these methods don't work, call
Albert Nahman Plumbing & Heating. We provide hydro-jetting services that are guaranteed to cut through
mineral and rust buildup, soap scum, grease, and even tree roots. For
additional information on our plumbing repair services, including professional
drain cleaning, call us at (510) 843-6904. We are proud to serve Berkeley,
Alameda, Contra Costa, and the surrounding counties.
Over time, most piping develops a certain level of buildup. Minerals, rust,
soap scum, pollutants, and plant particles such as tree roots find their
way into the piping, which can lead to a severe clog. One of the best
ways to fix the clog is to hire a
plumber near Berkeley who offers hydro jetting. This chemical-free process uses nothing but
water and pressure to clear the plumbing line, which spares your pipes
as well as the environment from harmful chemicals. Hydro jetting can be
used to clear a clog or simply improve the flow of your pipes.
Albert Nahman Plumbing & Heating is a family-owned company with more
than 30 years of experience. Trust us with your hydro jetting needs by
calling us at (510) 843-6904. All of our work is guaranteed, and we are
available 24/7 for emergency plumbing needs. Visit our website to learn
more about the plumbing services we provide the Berkeley area.
Tankless water heaters offer hot water on-demand, which means you would
not need to match your water needs with the right size tank. That said,
conventional water heaters are less expensive upfront. Whether you are
considering a
tankless water heater in Berkeley or a conventional water heater, this article will help you find the right
water heater for your needs.
To ensure efficiency and an adequate supply of hot water, your water heater
must be appropriately sized.
Sizing a water heater involves listing the number of hot water devices you anticipate using
and adding up their flow rates. The resulting number is the flow rate
you need in a water heater. Investing in low-flow water fixtures is an
effective way to reduce your total flow demand, which subsequently reduces
the size of the water heater you would need.
Fuel Type
The type of fuel you use to heat water will affect the total operation
costs, the size of the water heater, and the level of efficiency it achieves.
Electric water heaters are a popular choice because of the widespread
availability of electricity. Natural gas and propane are also widely available
sources of energy. Compare the prices of these energy sources to determine
which would be the most cost-effective option. Look for an Energy Star
certified water heater to ensure that it is energy-efficient.
Total Costs
Factor in the cost of water heater repair, upfront cost, installation,
and operating cost as you shop for a new water heater. Tankless water
heaters require more money than conventional water heaters for the initial
purchase, but are more energy-efficient. Tankless water heaters also last
much longer than conventional water heaters. Many estimates say that tankless
water heaters last twice as long as conventional water heaters.
To learn more about choosing a new water heater, call Albert Nahman Plumbing
& Heating at (510) 843-6904. We can help you choose a water heater
and even install it for you. Visit our website to see what other plumbing
services we offer.
If you are using
AC near Berkeley this summer, there are many ways to improve the energy efficiency of your
unit while staying cool. First, do not turn the air conditioner off when
you leave the house; instead, use a programmable thermostat to set a higher
temperature when you are not home. An AC or furnace repair technician
can install a programmable thermostat if you do not already have one.
Keep blinds and curtains closed during the day to prevent sunlight from
heating the home.
For AC maintenance and repair services, contact Albert Nahman Plumbing
& Heating at (510) 843-6904. Visit us online to see all of the plumbing
and HVAC services we offer.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Pens Have $10 Million to Spend
by Paul on 08/01/05 at 02:30 AM ET
Comments (0)
With contracts offered to every previous regular except Matt Bradley and Michal Rozsival, with Sidney Crosby and apparently Evgeni Malkin on the way once deals are completed, the Penguins and general manager Craig Patrick wade into the NHL's flooded free-agent market at noon today with cash to spend. Probably at least $10 million, if you figure into the new salary-cap mix the projected values of the two rookie centers and a certain part-owner/player, Mario Lemieux. "We have a plan in mind," Patrick said last night, when qualifying offers had to be extended to unsigned players whose rights a team wanted to retain. "Whether we can execute it ... we'll see what happens."

By now, it should come as no surprise to you that factory farmed cattle and poultry live in some unsavory conditions, are fed some pretty disgusting things, and the resulting meat products are generally processed in a way that would make your stomach turn.
Despite the growing awareness about how conventional meat is produced and handled, we're eating more of it than ever before. This can only mean one thing: the average consumer couldn't care less what's in their meat. Maybe that's because we have trouble visualizing the harm done by GMO corn feed or chemical baths. After all, we can't see how that affects the meat, or by extension, our bodies.
One thing we can visualize, however, is poop. Yeah, feces, that smelly emission that represents everything we fed our bodies that couldn't be used. There's a reason why both people and animals try to keep their living and pooping environments as separate as possible: feces is laden with bacteria that can make us sick. This makes it hard to understand why the U.S. Food and Drug Administration wants people to eat it.
No, they're not suggesting we serve up turds on a plate, but it's pretty close. You might be surprised to learn that many in the conventional agricultural industry feed farmed cattle something known as "poultry litter." This feed additive is nothing more than chicken feces, feathers and uneaten chicken feed collected from the floor of crowded chicken cages and broiler houses. Because it's cheaper than even GMO corn and soy, cattle operations purchase around 2 billion pounds of poultry litter each year.
Sure that's gross, but as we mentioned earlier, most people don't care how "gross" their meat is. The truly shocking thing about the FDA's approval of this practice is that it's a direct violation of laws meant to protect American beef eaters from a deadly disease known as Bovine Spongiform Encepholopathy, or Mad Cow Disease.
See, both the chicken poop and uneaten pellets of chicken feed found in poultry litter are likely to contain beef protein, including ground-up meat and bone meal, something that's perfectly legal to feed to chickens but completely illegal to feed to cows.
"The primary source of infection is feed contaminated with the infectious prion agent, such as meat-and-bone meal containing protein derived from rendered infected cattle," explains the USDA's own website. "Regulations from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have prohibited the inclusion of mammalian protein in feed for cattle and other ruminants since 1997 and have also prohibited high risk tissue materials in all animal feed since 2009."
Although the "US Food and Drug Administration wisely banned the practice of feeding the remains of dead cows to living ones back in 1997…the agency has never prohibited feeding those same remains to chickens and other poultry, nor does it currently prohibit feeding poultry litter to cattle," explains Mother Jones.
Regardless of your feelings about organic meat versus conventional meat, or omnivorous diets versus plant-based ones, this obvious loophole in the FDA's policies should ruffle your feathers. This is about more than the twisted fact that we eat animals fed poop. It's about the fact that an agency charged with protecting American consumers is failing to enforce its own policies, most likely because it's a big money saver for the all powerful beef industry. In doing so, the FDA is putting millions of meat eaters in the path of a documented fatal disease — one that spells disaster for public health as well as industry.
Take Action
Please sign and share the petition below to demand that the Federal Drug Administration ban the use of chicken poop in cow feed.

thanks for the article.
Thank you
signed, thanks for sharing :)
As someone who raises chickens, your article is not accurate and why I do not sign petitions like this. Chicken feed no longer contains any animal product (except fish but only two companies I know of and private mills sell) because of mad cow disease. Instead of trying to stop something that will do nothing perhaps those who want to eat meat should raise their own and know exactly what is being put in their bodies instead of eating from farms that abuse and inhumanely treat their animals. Make a petition of this nature and I will sign it.
This is gross, I keep telling myself to go vegetarian, but my spouse won't, so it makes it more difficult to do.
Don't buy fish from China, they put the chicken cages over the fish tanks, so the fish eat the chicken poop & feathers. Their laws allow them to do this. I buy American. China is sending us no much toxic food, toys, plastics, lead. You need to check your packaging manufacturing & shipping on the packages. Also look up your favor foods re:
Tyson- gets their meats in China, India, Mexico, Brazil, all disgusting dirty Countries.
Purdue- Upstate New York south to Florida, west to Kentucky. Pennsylvania
Ohio, New York State, Washington State, Idaho, Texas, Indiana, buys grains from 5,500 farmers in the U.S. Chickens & Turkeys in cage-free humane treated. USDA approved.
So its not to hard to guess which one is more healthy for us. I am sick & tired of companies that do not support our local farmers in the U.S. Time to start weeding out the companies who don't support the U.S. keep the money in the Country. It will open more jobs, & bring back reasonable wages. AN FOR A HEALTHY AMERICA.
I signed the petition. I really did not know that cattle and poultry were being fed these digusting "foods". So glad that I am vegetarian, But I still eat dairy products, so I guess I am consuming what the dairy cows eat.
"most people dont care how gross their meat is" You can say that again. Not only do they not care what the poor animals are fed but they don't care how they're treated. Kyle, you don't know what your talking about. Chickens are not vegetarians, feeding them a vegetarian diet may make them lay more eggs but it doesn't mean healthy chickens. Free range chickens (at least mine) don't eat their own feces but they do eat the bugs in my yard and the worms in the compost. They are also not fed growth hormones that get them mature enough to lay in only 6 weeks rather than the 16 weeks it takes them naturally.
These sorts of decisions are made with HEALTH in mind? NOT!!!
Thank you :)
exactly why I will not buy free range chickens.. free range chickens do eat their own droppings while caged eat strictly clean feed of ground soy meal, soybeans, ground corn, cracked wheat, millet and waste egg shells if egg laying chickens.

Mr. 600 Kevin Harvick needs to become Mr. Fall at Charlotte
Kevin Harvick won the Coca-Cola 600 this past Memorial Day weekend and in 2011. He also won last week end at Kansas putting himself back into contention for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship. Harvick needs to continue wining in order to really put on a charge. This week NASCAR returns to Charlotte Motor Speedway for the Bank of America 500.
The Charlotte Motor Speedway is one of the 1.5 mile staple tracks of NASCAR. It is sometimes referred to as one of the cookie cutter tracks but in reality each and every one of them is different. Last week Kansas was 1.5 miles but its banking is much less than Charlotte and therefore races slower. Charlotte has 24 degrees of banking in the corners and five degrees on the straights. The race is actually short compared to the other races at 1.5 mile speedways. It is 334 laps or 501 miles.
Driver ratings have been used to show who is good at any one particular track. Make no mistake about it Kevin Harvick's rating is not good at all. His rating of 77.8 is second to last of the drivers in the Chase. Jimmie Johnson leads all of them with a rating of 110. Understandably this track used to be called Jimmie's house, he hasn't won in over three years and had an over three year drought before that.
Kevin Harvick used the long length of the race and pit strategy last spring to win; hopefully the shorter race won't change that.
"Good pit strategy, that's what we hit on last time we were at Charlotte Motor Speedway." Harvick added, "We had a decent car in May, but Gil (Martin, crew chief) made the right call at the end to put us in position to have a good restart. Once we were in the right spot, we were able to hold the lead once we got there and were able to pick up the win."
Kevin Harvick and his team need to repeat that success otherwise Jimmie Johnson will just put them and everyone else in the dust.
If you can't get to Charlotte Motor Speedway for the Bank of America 500 it will be broadcast on national TV, ABC 7 PM ET Saturday October 12th.

Measuring Current, Voltage and Power
- K. Iwansson, European Patent Office, r. 1813, Patentlaan 2, NL-2280 HV Rijswijk, The Netherlands
- G. Sinapius, r. 6414, Rschorrhöfe, Europäisches Patentamt, Erhardtstrasse 27, D-80298 München, Germany

The measurement of voltages and currents is a common task in the field of electricity and electronics. From a technical point of view it is useful to identify schematically different steps of such a measurement. In a first step a voltage or a current is sensed, intermediate steps such as amplification, transmission and further treatment may follow to yield the result in the final step. Today in most cases microprocessors perform the final steps of such measurements. Analog-to digital converters digitise a voltage that is proportional to the value to be measured and a processor performs further computations and handles the storage and the display of the results. The prerequisite for such measurements are sensors or transducers that respond in a known way to the voltage or current to be measured. The emphasis of this book is put on recent developments of the instrumentation for sensing voltages and currents.
Aside from the general trend towards smaller, cheaper and more reliable instrumentation, new demands have arisen. New applications, like measurements of biocurrents, ask for higher sensitivities. Computers and integrated circuits pose new challenges. To exploit the increased speed of the components for data taking, suitable sensors are required. The accuracy that can be achieved depends more than ever on the first step, the acquisition of the raw data. The influence of the measurement process on the results becomes more crucial. Testing of integrated circuits themselves is a completely new application. For such tests one has to measure rapid voltage and current variations on very small geometrical scales. Here, as well as in the traditional high voltage applications, contactless measurements play an important role.The organisation of this book is as follows: In the first chapter different methods to sense voltages and currents are described. For the sake of completeness most commonly used methods are mentioned, we concentrate, however, on those developed recently. The chapters address the subject from the side of different applications in which voltages and currents are sensed.Since the main purpose of this publication is to illustrate commonly employed techniques rather than to track the scientific evolution and merits in particular fields, in general those publications that illustrate a particular measurement principle best have been cited. The citation of a particular reference does therefore not imply that this is the first or most pertinent publication in the respective field.
