The Adventures of Beekle: The Unimaginary Friend, illustrated and written by Dan Santat and published by Little, Brown and Company, a division of Hachette Book Group, Inc.
In four delightful "visual chapters," Beekle, an imaginary friend, undergoes an emotional journey looking for his human. Santat uses fine details, kaleidoscopic saturated colors, and exquisite curved and angular lines to masterfully convey the emotional essence of this special childhood relationship.

2015 Honor Books
Nana in the City, written and illustrated by Lauren Castillo and published by Clarion Books, an imprint of Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company

Abstract artist Vasily Kandinsky experienced colors as sounds and sounds as colors; he created work that was bold and groundbreaking using colors from his "noisy paint box." His process is reflected beautifully by GrandPré, whose paint flows across the page in ethereal ribbons of color..
Sam & Dave Dig a Hole, illustrated by Jon Klassen, written by Mac Barnett and published by Candlewick Press
Klassen's use of texture, shape and earth tones in this deceptively simple book invite readers into the experience of two boys, who, accompanied by their dog, set out to dig a hole. Readers will find an unexpected treasure and be challenged to ponder the meaning of "spectacular."
Viva Frida, illustrated and written by Yuyi Morales and published by Roaring Brook Press, a Neal Porter Book
Using a unique variety of media - puppetry, printmaking, painting and photography - combined with an intoxicating use of color and unfailing sense of composition, Morales celebrates the artistic process.
The Right Word: Roget and His Thesaurus, illustrated by Melissa Sweet, written by Jen Bryant and published by Eerdmans Books for Young Readers, an imprint of Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co.
Sweet's inspired mixed media illustrations illuminate the personality and work of a man passionately interested in many things. Her collages combine disparate elements to create a cohesive whole, echoing the ways in which Roget ordered the world into lists that evolved into his groundbreaking thesaurus.
This One Summer, illustrated by Jillian Tamaki, written by Mariko Tamaki and published by First Second
Intricately detailed illustrations in shades of indigo are masterfully layered with the text in this graphic novel. The pacing and strong imagery evoke myriad emotions and ground this poignant and painfully realistic coming-of-age story.

Best sports app
I just have one small detail I would like to address. In the MLB if you click on a player and get to their player bio page, it'll show you their stats from the last game that they played. However, for starting pitchers, or even relievers for that matter, should show their last START, given that they don't play everyday because most of the time it'll show 0's for their last 'game' because they more than likely didn't play the day before. It's a small detail that bugs me from time to time because I use that bio page for my fantasy baseball team and check in on pitchers often.
Great, but not perfect
Awesome app, i use it everyday, but a few things could use updating such as sometimes the top of my screen, usually about the length of one game/matchup, will get locked out of view, which is usually one of my Favorites... so i have to restart the app and it's a bit annoying. Also, occasionally it gets buggy... like getting the count wrong in MLB, like once it said there were 26 balls and 18 strikes in one At Bat... it was pretty funny but i did want to know what the actual count was lol. Besides a few minor things the app is amazing.
Good sports score apps are surprisingly rare.
Either they miss some major sports, or don't offer standings, or are weirdly implemented. Yahoo Sports doesn't suffer from most of these problems. So I wouldn't say it's perfect, but I think it's better than the rest.
My main beef is coverage of the Men's and Women's national soccer teams. Sometimes the games show up, and sometimes they do not. But for MLB, MLS, NHL, NFL, NCAA football and basketball and European league soccer, it's a pretty good one stop shop.
I'd love better coverage of smaller NCAA sports like hockey, soccer, and baseball but understand those are of limited interest to all but the most hardcore of school fans.

RESTON, Va., Oct. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- comScore, Inc. (Nasdaq: SCOR), a leader in measuring the digital world, today released results from its third annual study Online Marketing Effectiveness Benchmarks for the Pharmaceutical Industry, which found that exposure to online media, including a brand's website and online ads, had a significant positive lift on a treatment's awareness and favorability. The results also showed that visitation to a brand's website generated significant levels of incremental new patient starts and refills. The study, performed in conjunction with pharmaceutical marketing consultancy Evolution Road, LLC, is designed to help pharmaceutical marketers better assess the success of their online marketing activities.

The study also found a statistically significant decrease in patients' blood pressure when taking Pycnogenol® in conjunction with Ramipril. When treated exclusively with Ramipril, systolic blood pressure values dropped by more than 30 percent and diastolic blood pressure values dropped approximately eight percent. The addition of Pycnogenol® decreased both systolic and diastolic pressures by an additional three to six percent. Pycnogenol® was also found to lower the patients' elevated levels of inflammatory marker CRP, a blood protein associated with the risk for acute cardiovascular events such as heart attack, reducing values to a healthy level.
"While Ramipril represents an effective treatment for hypertension and its interrelated effects on kidney function, Pycnogenol® as an adjunct to the medication produced significantly greater results, particularly for kidney function restoration," said Dr. Belcaro. "Pycnogenol® continues to demonstrate its abilities as a natural solution for the complete cardiovascular system."
Previous studies have revealed Pycnogenol® to favorably affect the normalization of blood pressure by releasing arterial constriction.

MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Biotel Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: BTEL) announced results for its first quarter ended September 30, 2009 with net earnings of $128,000, or $0.04 per diluted share, on revenues of $3,263,000. This compares to net earnings of $328,000, or $0.11 per diluted share, on revenues of $3,168,000 for the first quarter of last year.
Commenting on the first quarter results, Biotel President and CEO Steve Springrose said: "Biotel enjoyed strong sales and earnings through the first quarter and believes its upcoming new wireless event and MCT products have favorable attributes for the arrhythmia service market. Nevertheless, sales of Braemar wireless arrhythmia monitors are expected to diminish versus fiscal year 2009. Following the announcement of Biotel's planned merger with CardioNet, Inc, many of our customers made other plans for the purchase of wireless products they had intended to purchase from us. We expect that many of these customers will not purchase their future requirements for wireless products from us notwithstanding the termination of the merger agreement by CardioNet. On July 16, 2009, Biotel commenced a lawsuit claiming CardioNet breached and improperly terminated the merger agreement. Biotel is seeking specific performance and damages.
"We are not forecasting major national customers for our Fusion MCT products and will market Fusion and ER920W devices to regional scanning services. Additionally, two major customers issued purchase orders for wireless and event recorder products in the period following announcement of the merger agreement. These orders appear to have been last time buy opportunities for such customers, and the purchases propelled sales revenues through the first quarter just ended. These orders have been substantially filled, revenues are expected to diminish, and Biotel does not project profitability through the remainder of the fiscal year.

'Recovering' Clarke opting to alter travel plans for overseas tour to train at full intensity
Australian Test and ODI team captain Michael Clarke is in race against time for fitness and has said that that he probably needs more time than most in regards to the gap between getting off a plane and training at full intensity.
Clarke might opt to alter his travel plans for future overseas tours as he is in a race against time to recover from a hamstring injury for Monday's first ODI against Zimbabwe.
Clarke, who has had a five-month layoff since leading Australia to a 2-1 Test series triumph in South Africa, experienced pain in his left hamstring during the team's first training session on Friday, Sport24 reported.
The 33-year-old, who has battled a chronic back problem throughout his career, suspected the lack of rest after a 15-hour flight from Sydney to Harare may have caused the injury.
Clarke said that what he has learned through his career is that he needs more time than most in regards to the gap between getting off a plane and training at full intensity. He added that if it means he has to fly a couple of days earlier than the boys on the long trips, then that's what he has got to do.
The skipper said that it's hard because he is a big believer in travelling with the team, and has always liked that.
Clarke will have more time to rest up before being required to play on Australia's next trip, a Pakistan series in the UAE next month, which opens with a Twenty20 match, a format he has given up at international level.
Clarke said that generally when he travels to the UK, there aren't too many times that he has not got injured at the start of the series and he is normally at his most vulnerable at the start of a series.
So, he added that he feels he has got to be smarter with that, or at least try and work out how he can travel with the team but also do what's best to make sure he can play the first game.

TV preview: The Commonwealth Games opening ceremony on BBC 1 at 8pm
Posted: July 23, 2014|
It's sneaked up on us hasn't it? None the less the Commonwealth Games are upon us and excitement is mounting. First of all it's exciting to have an international games in which everything has gone to plan. There have been little to no worries about whether venues will be finished, all the hotels are looking really nice and Glasgow is a city with an incredible human rights record. So we're game on for the opening ceremony tonight on BBC 1 at 8pm.
For the uninitiated the Commonwealth Games are to the Olympics what the Euros are to the World Cup in that one is slightly smaller than the other and only includes countries from certain places. In this case the entrance criteria is having been invaded by the British at some point with the games originally serving as the Empire's own version of the Olympics. The leftie in me would usually jump on the chance to slate something like that but there's something intrinsically likeable about the Commonwealth Games.
After all, nations that don't usually get a look in at other games suddenly come alive. The sports are a little more British as well with things like lawn bowls and rugby getting a look in. Let's see the American's come in a monopolise that.
More than 4,500 athletes from 71 Commonwealth nations and territories will parade during the curtain raiser, rumoured to include around 2000 people, which will be a celebration of everything Commonwealth but also everything Scottish. The nation has a rich history which is expected to make an appearance during the ceremony which will signal the start of 11 days of games featuring 17 sports.
The games are likely to be the final throw of the dice for campaigners on both sides of the independent Scotland debate. Regardless of the success of the games we might all be in for a sharp reminder of just what's at stake when voters go to the polls in September.

Surfboards given to peace effort
JERUSALEM — An 86-year-old Jewish surfing guru from Hawaii is bringing good vibrations to the impoverished Gaza Strip.
Dorian Paskowitz, a retired doctor, donated 12 surfboards to Gaza's small surfing community yesterday in a novel gesture to promote peace between Israelis and Palestinians.
"God will surf with the devil if the waves are good," Dr. Paskowitz said. "When a surfer sees another surfer with a board, he can't help but say something that brings them together."
Arthur Rashkovan, a 28-year-old surfer from Tel Aviv, said Dr. Paskowitz's project was part of a larger effort called "Surfing for Peace," aimed at bringing surfers closer together in the Middle East. He said eight-time world surfing champion Kelly Slater, who is of Syrian descent, is expected to arrive in Israel in October to take part in the drive.
U.S. paves way for renewed ties
TRIPOLI — U.S. Middle East envoy David Welch was in Libya yesterday on a trip designed to lay the groundwork for a visit by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, a further sign of the country's return to the international fold.
During his two-day trip, the assistant secretary of state for Near Eastern affairs will meet with Foreign Minister Abdelrahman Shalgham and other officials, a Libyan Foreign Ministry official said.
Miss Rice expressed willingness to visit the oil-rich North African state after the release of six foreign medics who had been on death row in Libya after being convicted of infecting hundreds of children with the AIDS virus.
Cell phones banned at Cabinet meetings
JERUSALEM — Ministers in Israel — where little news remains secret for long — were notified yesterday that they would no longer be allowed to bring their cell phones to Cabinet meetings, army radio reported.
After directives issued by Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, ministers will have to leave their cell phones with security guards before entering the Cabinet room.

You know, I realize Red was blameless this time around, but, really, a guy who used to be a cartoon mouse should probably think twice before trying to date a wolf . . . .
P.S. What do the OUAT writers have against CINDERELLA anyway? So far we've had the Fairy Godmother blown to pieces by Rumple and Gus the Mouse gorily cut in twain. If I was a Wicked Stepsister, I'd be watching my back!

The great judge Learned Hand once said, "The spirit of liberty is the spirit which is not too sure that it is right." If so, the tobacco regulation bill recently passed by Congress indicates that the spirit of liberty is even scarcer than usual in the halls of government.
What motivates advocates of stricter tobacco regulation is the unassailable assurance that they are not only completely right but that their opponents are a) wrong and b) evil. This invigorating certitude makes it possible to justify almost anything that punishes cigarette companies, even if it does no actual good -- or does actual harm.
One of the main purposes of the new law is to reduce the number of smokers in the name of improving "public health." This is a skillful use of language to confuse rather than enlighten.
An individual decision to take up cigarettes is a private event, not a public one, and its health effects are almost entirely confined to the individual making the choice. Swine flu warrants government intervention because it is transmitted to people without their consent. Not so with tobacco addiction.
That's not the only Orwellian touch in this measure. It is called the "Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act," which raises the obvious question: What does "family" have to do with it? Answer: nothing, but doesn't it sound sweet?
Like many intrusive government actions, this law is supposed to protect children. That's the pretext for telling tobacco companies, in exhaustive detail, how and where they can communicate with consumers, actual and potential -- allegedly to prevent the contamination of young minds.
So: Cigarette makers are forbidden to use color in ads in any publication whose readership is less than 85 percent adult. They are barred from using music in audio ads. They are not allowed to use pictures in video ads. They may not put product names on race cars, lighters, caps or T-shirts. From all this, you almost forget the fleeting passage in the Constitution that says "Congress shall make no law … abridging the freedom of speech."
When it gets in a mood to regulate, Congress doesn't like to trouble itself with nuisances like the First Amendment. In 2001, the Supreme Court ruled it was unconstitutional for Massachusetts to ban outdoor ads within 1,000 feet of any schools and playgrounds. So what does this law do? It bans outdoor ads within 1,000 feet of schools and playgrounds.

Book Reviews
unhappy shortcoming is the laborious style in which the book is
written. The reader must wade painfully through page after page
of sluggish sentences befitting a dull, academic textbook rather
than a narrative of a cavalry operation intrinsically colorful and
exciting. Moreover, in evaluating the "valor," the "heroic endur-
ance," the " unfaltering courage" of Texas troops at Valverde, the
author is afflicted with irritating flourishes of rhetoric which
nearly match the grandiloquence of the Confederate commanders.
There are some factual errors too. The most inexcusable one is
calling Tom Green, the real colonel of the Fifth Texas Cavalry,
Thomas Jefferson Green, who was in North Carolina during the
time of Sibley's invasion.
Despite these faults, Hall's book is, on the whole, accurate and
objectively written. And it is not totally lacking in humane and
humorous incidents. An example of the humor is the anecdote
about a company of Texans in dress review who failed to hear the
order to "file left" and kept on marching until they had tramped
over a nearby mountain and disappeared. Watching them pass out
of sight, Sibley grunted, "Gone to Hell."
The work is painstakingly done. The inclusion of the muster
rolls of the Army of New Mexico and an adequate bibliog-
raphy will be quite helpful to the interested student. Because it
illuminates one chapter of a little known theater of the war,
Sibley's New Mexico Campaign is a valuable addition to the
growing list of Civil War histories.

Dropbox is the place for your photos, docs, videos, and other files. Files you keep in Dropbox are safely backed up and you can get to them from all your devices. It's easy to send large files to anyone, even if they don't have a Dropbox account.
• Edit Microsoft Office files from your phone or tablet

Terms of Service: https://www.dropbox.com/terms?mobile=1
Shortcut not working Ugh. Why can't I learn not to update. After creating a shortcut to folder the shortcut just opens to main app. Please fix and for Christ sake validate before you release.
Why switch from .mov to .qt? I am unable to export videos from Dropbox to my Note 5. It won't let me upload to Google Photos or Instagram. Says it's a .mov and then when I export it changes to a .qt it doesn't go to my gallery. Only place I can find the file is in downloads, and I can't even open the file because of an error.
This could be really useful but its 69MB and it LACKS APP -> SD SUPPORT which is essential due to all of Google's bloatware on un-rooted phones. App to SD would be an easy feature to add if DropBox cared about the user experience.
Bloatware More bloatware shoved down users throats by Samsung. Here's a tip: If you don't want people to hate your app, don't do stupid deals with manufacturers to force your crap on us.
Finally Finally I can select multiple files! Been waiting for this for the longest time. It's live developers deliberately put things in iOS and leave them out on android
You can select multiple files now!!!! Excellent! Fully functional, fast and stable!

About 25 percent of the patients with metastatic kidney cancer achieved long-term responses five to 15 year survivals from their therapy, Belldegrun said. Less than 5 percent of metastatic kidney cancer patient typically achieve long term survivals or a cure when treated with conventional treatments.
"This is by far the best survival data in such a difficult group of patients," Belldegrun said. "This can be achieved today only in kidney cancer centers of excellence like we are operating at UCLA, where we have all the expertise at hand, the best scientists, clinicians and surgeons working together."
The results of the study come as new targeted therapies are being introduced specifically for kidney cancer. The U.S. Food & Drug Administration has recently approved three such drugs. Belldegrun said the survival rates detailed in their paper should be used as a benchmark to which these new therapies should be compared.
"While the field of kidney cancer is undergoing dramatic changes it is as yet still unclear how these changes are affecting patient outcome," the study states. "A critical assessment of the potential improvement in the new treatment era necessitates a comparison to a known benchmark. We present long-term, single institution data to provide a thorough understanding of the results that have been achieved until now using a consistent, aggressive approach for localized and metastatic disease. For future patient care, it will be important to select patients that will do best using existing therapies, and those who should be treated using the newly approved treatments."

Everest Base Camp Trek: Tucker and Team Visit Lama Geshe
Posted by: Mark Tucker | March 27, 2012
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Everest BC Trek
Elevation: 13,950'
We woke to a bluebird day and enjoyed a view of Ama Dablam while we ate breakfast. But bluebird often comes at the cost of warmth, so after a breakfast of (oh, you already know what we ate) we bundled up and hit the trail. The first part of the trail lead us through a forest of evergreen and rhododendron and sloped downward to a bridge across the Imja Khola. Once across the bridge the forest gave way to scrub and the trail started up. It was easy to overlook the effort of climbing with stunning peaks vying with chortens and Buddhist memorials for our attention.
Mid-morning found us in the village of Pangboche. Our plan was to visit the Lama Geshe for a blessing and we arrived just as he was finishing up his morning clean-up and relaxing in the sun. We spent the next hour with him. He performed the blessing ceremony and we shared a cup of yak butter tea with him. I would gladly experience the ceremony again; but once is enough for yak butter tea. I should have taken Mark's advice.
Personal note: I have been accused of being a Buddhist shaman in another life and I swear the Lama Geshe and I had a connection.
Leaving the Lama, we wound our way through the village with views of walled fields below us. The trail was punctuated by many memorials for climbers and Sherpa. It was a reminder that the mountains belong to no one and that we are here as their guests. It is with respect and caution that we must undertake this trek and climb.
We stopped for lunch in Orso at a small place with a delightful sun room overlooking the valley. It was there that we met a man who was apparently suffering from AMS that was waiting for a helicopter to take him to a lower elevation. He said he had been waiting for about four hours already and his local guide was off trying to sort things out. It was impressive to see Mark assess the situation and take action. He had the guy drinking electrolytes, pressure breathing and forcing food down in no time. Within 20-30 minutes he was sitting up saying how much better he felt and talking to us. The helicopter showed up a couple minutes later which was impressive on a whole other level. In either case, both Kim and I feel lucky to have such a competent team leader.
As has been the pattern in the afternoons, the weather rolled in so we beat feet out towards Pheriche. It was a short hike, but included an appropriate amount of up before we rolled down into town. Not long after we arrived the other RMI team rolled in. We're now one big happy RMI family - if only for the night. —John

With negative it's all relative, there is no specific point that can be defined as the absolute middle gray point. This is because print exposure is set in the enlarger, and in the enlarger you can place any tone you please from the film at middle gray on the paper.
Proper metering allows you to set the camera in a way that allows you to get good shadow and highlight detail around middle gray. It gives you a reference point to make your work easier.
If for example you used TMY which has a 14 stop range you could pick an EI that might put your intended middle gray 7 stops above the film's toe. 1 or 7 stops to the toe, it's your choice.

"MitoQ selectively accumulates in the mitochondria," said McManus, who is now studying mitochondrial genetics and dysfunction as a postdoctoral researcher at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
"It is more effective for the treatment to go straight to the mitochondria, rather than being present in the cell in general," she said.
Although he had not previously conducted research on Alzheimer's disease, Franklin was moved to approve McManus' research proposal to take his laboratory research in a more clinical direction in part because of her family's history with the disease.
"Two of my grandparents had Alzheimer's disease, but they presented with it very differently. While my granddad often couldn't remember who we were, he was still the same soulful funnyman I'd always loved. But the disease changed my grandmother's mind in a different way, and turned her into someone we'd never known," said McManus.
"So the complexity of the disease was most intriguing to me. I wanted to know how and why it was happening, and more importantly, how to stop it from happening to other people," she said.
In their study, mice engineered to carry three genes associated with familial Alzheimer's were tested for cognitive impairment using the Morris Water Maze, a common test for memory retention. The mice that had received MitoQ in their drinking water performed significantly better than those that didn't. Additionally, the treated mice tested negative for the oxidative stress, amyloid burden, neural death and synaptic loss associated with Alzheimer's.

Assuming capital gain/loss was not triggered becaue of the takeover (because it was an all-share affair), you would only contemplate selling now to trigger a loss or gain (depending on your tax situation). Mind you, in canada at least, you must not buy back the shares for something like 30 days.
best advice though is to talk to somebody who actually knows and not listening to somebody like me who is words like "assume".

Filed under: Diet
It's the New Year! If you're already despairing about resolutions, keep in mind that making small changes in behavior that fit easily into your lifestyle are good options for family health and weight loss over time. For one month, try choosing three small habits to focus on changing that you can apply to any situation, whether you're at home, overseas, or travelling. Try setting up email or calendar reminders if that helps you, or put up tangible reminders such as sticky notes around your house. To get you started, here are some ideas:
- Keep unhealthy foods such as potato chips, cookies, etc. out of sight so they are less tempting.
- Put down your fork and knife between bites.
- Portion out "snackable" foods that come in large bags/containers into smaller one-serving containers, so you don't keep dipping in.
- Choose water over soda.
- Keep fresh fruit on hand to replace fatty, high-calorie snacks.
For more help, Military OneSource has a Health and Wellness Coaching Program that can help you lose weight and improve your overall fitness. Finally, for more information on making healthy food choices for you and your family, visit HPRC's Family Nutrition section.
A Military Times article reports on a recent study of more than 30 of the most popular dietary supplements (in capsule form) sold on military bases analyzed to determine their caffeine content. Of the 20 supplements that listed caffeine as an ingredient on their labels, six did not specify the amount. These same six contained high amounts of caffeine (210-310 mg per serving)—three or more times the amount permitted by law in soft drinks. Five others revealed significantly different amounts—some more, some less—than the quantity stated on the product label.
Consuming too much caffeine can result in health issues. And if you don't know how much is in the supplement you're taking, it could be easy to overdo it if you also drink coffee or energy drinks. Visit the Operation Supplement Safety (OPSS) FAQ on caffeine for additional information.
Do you think nutritious foods are expensive? Think again. A cost-per-calorie comparison of the prices of fat- and sugar-laden convenience foods to the prices of nutritious whole foods showed the convenience foods coming up short.
A study conducted in a low-income area of Baltimore, Maryland, revealed that a diet based primarily on convenience foods from fast-food restaurants cost 24% more than a diet based on whole foods purchased in a grocery store. Of course, prices vary between seasons and geographic locations, but the message was clear: Don't be fooled by "dollar menus" and "meal deals."
Here are some more tips to stretch your food dollars:
- Meats: Buy lean cuts of meat, poultry, and fish on sale and freeze for later use. (Use freezer wrap for long-term storage.)
- Fruits and vegetables: Not only are fruits and vegetables less expensive when they are in season, the ones in season are freshest and have the best flavor. Take advantage of lower prices on apples in autumn, kale in winter, peas in spring, and strawberries in summer, for example.
- Processed foods: Cereal, low-fat pasta sauces, and other slightly processed foods can be healthful choices, but name brands can be expensive. Store brands are often excellent quality and typically cost less.
- Snacks and beverages: Opt for inexpensive (and healthy) snack choices such as popcorn, dried fruit, or peanuts. Milk and juice provide needed nutrients without the "empty" calories found in sodas and beer.
- Coupons, coupons, coupons: They're like free money.
With a little time and planning you can provide your family with healthy, nutritious meals and save money.
About half of all military personnel use some dietary supplements, and military women most commonly use weight-loss supplements. But is there a place for dietary supplements in enhancing women's health? Dietary supplements, by definition, are intended to "supplement the diet" and can contain a dietary ingredient such as a vitamin, mineral, herb or other botanical, amino acid, or combinations of these and/or other substances or constituents intended to be consumed by mouth.
Active women may require more nutrients, but vitamin and mineral needs normally can be met by eating a variety of nutrient-rich foods. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans focus largely on the recommendation that nutrient-dense foods and beverages—such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low-fat dairy products, lean meats and poultry, eggs, nuts and seeds—can provide all the nutrients needed by most everyone. These recommendations are based on research that shows a varied, healthy diet lowers the risk of most diseases.
Some dietary supplements have been found to be beneficial for women's health, such as folic acid, iron, and calcium. Folic acid, a B vitamin involved in the production of new cells in the body, has been shown to help prevent birth defects. Women who are thinking of becoming pregnant or are pregnant should take a supplement that includes 400 micrograms of folic acid per day. Fortified foods such as green, leafy vegetables, enriched whole grain breads, flour, pasta, rice, and most ready-to-eat cereals also contain folic acid. Adolescent girls, women of childbearing age, and especially pregnant women also need more iron, which is a mineral involved in the transport of oxygen in the body. Women in these groups should choose iron-rich foods, particularly red meat, fish, and poultry, as well as iron-fortified foods. When iron levels are low, symptoms may include feeling extra tired and weak, along with a decrease in immune function. A healthcare provider or dietitian can determine the need for supplementation if diet alone cannot maintain iron levels or for those who have iron-deficiency anemia. Calcium is an important mineral that helps maintain strong bones, healthy teeth, and proper functioning of the heart, muscles, and nerves. All women should strive to get their calcium from foods such as low-fat milk, yogurt, cheese, dark-green, leafy vegetables, and foods such as orange juice and soy milk that have been calcium-fortified. Those who may need more should discuss calcium supplement options with a dietitian, since there are many forms available and it is important to determine how much and which kind is suitable for your particular needs.
Some dietary supplement products marketed for weight loss are targeted toward women. Do they work? According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), some weight-loss supplements contain hidden prescription drug ingredients. For additional information, see Operation Supplement Safety's (OPSS) "Are there any safe supplements to help me lose weight?" Furthermore, women looking to enhance their performance may turn to dietary supplement products. OPSS has additional resources for competitive athletes to search for particular products that are certified, as well as helpful red flags on what to avoid.
Some women's nutrient needs differ from those of men, and they can vary over the course of a lifetime. From adolescent girls, to women of childbearing age, to women over 50, these needs change based on the demands of the physiological changes that occur in the body. One thing is certain: A variety of nutritious food is really the spice of life and should be the basis for fueling all of life's stages.
The first anniversary of the MyPlate food icon is being celebrated during the month of June, hoping to remind consumers to make healthy food choices. Users can download these one-page printable sheets, each with 10 tips to help get started with and maintain a healthy diet. To access these tips, go to this page of MyPlate, and then post them on your refrigerator or locker.
If you are eating good-quality foods in a well-balanced diet, then supplements aren't necessary to achieve optimal performance. However, if you think you need to take supplements, make sure that you are well informed about the effectiveness and safety of the supplements you are taking or considering adding to your diet. Visit HPRC's Dietary Supplements Classification System and the Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database to learn more about performance supplements. In addition, check out our introduction to Operation Supplement Safety (OPSS), the new Department of Defense educational campaign about to be launched to help determine the relative safety of a dietary supplement product.
Good cholesterol, or high-density lipoprotein (HDL), helps prevent fat and cholesterol from clogging your arteries. A higher HDL number (> 60 mg/dl of blood) is better. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is considered bad cholesterol. It carries cholesterol to your arteries and can cause them to become blocked. A lower LDL number (< 100 mg/dl) is better. High-LDL or low-HDL cholesterol levels are major risk factors for heart disease and stroke. Visit this American Hearth Association web page for more information.
The latest news on DMAA includes the New Zealand government's ban just placed on DMAA-containing products. DMAA has already been declared a drug in Canada and is banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency, the United States Anti-doping Agency (USADA), collegiate sports teams, and most professional sports teams.
HPRC has again updated its list of DMAA-containing dietary supplements, including a number of additions as well as some products that have been discontinued or reformulated. The additions mostly represent lesser-known products that have been around a while, but surprisingly there are a couple new products too. And we have added two new "aliases" to the list of other names for DMAA. To download the list, click on this link to "Dietary Supplement Products Containing DMAA."
The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons defines a stress fracture as a tiny crack in a bone that occurs when fatigued muscles lose their ability to absorb shock and then transfer stresses to the bone. Most stress fractures occur in the lower extremities, and more than half occur in the lower leg and foot.
A stress fracture is an overuse—sometimes referred to as chronic—injury, which means that it develops over a long period of time—from weeks to months. According to a 2011 systematic review published in Military Medicine, stress fracture incidence is high among U.S. military recruits, ranging anywhere from 3% for men to 9.2% for women.
Since it can take several weeks or months for a stress fracture to heal, the best approach is to avoid getting one. Here are some tips for prevention:
- Apply the progression principle of training—gradually increase your training intensity. Slowly incorporate higher-stress activities such as jumping and interval training into your workout. Setting incremental goals can be helpful in carrying out your training routine in a gradual way. And check out HPRC's Physical Fitness Resources for more information on training and ways to avoid injury.
- Check your footwear and make sure it matches your training. Replace footwear that is old or worn.
- Pay attention to the surface where you train, since some are easier on the bones and joints of the lower extremities. For example, it is better to jog on softer surfaces such as rubber track or grass rather than on concrete. Also, it's better to begin training on a flat surface and then progress to hills.
- Monitor your diet, specifically calcium and vitamin D intake, and read the National Institute of Health's Dietary Supplement Fact Sheet on calcium. To learn more about nutrition take a look at HPRC's Nutrition Resources.
It is important to recognize a stress fracture and seek medical advice early, as discussed in Clinics in Sports Medicine. The Mayo Clinic provides information on the symptoms of a stress fracture.
What do you put in your body to boost your performance, increase your energy, shed pounds, build muscle, or otherwise supplement your diet? What's in that drink, pill, or powder? What will it do for you? What will it do to you? Is it worth the risk?
More and more Warfighters are taking dietary supplements, most without being fully informed that some of the ingredients could have harmful side effects. HPRC has just unveiled its Dietary Supplement Classification System to provide this kind of information and help you make informed decisions about a particular supplement. To start exploring this new resource, visit HPRC's new web pages. If you have a question, contact us via "Ask the Expert."

Excellent Co Enzyme for Energy for M.E
16 명의 이용자께서 다음의 상품평이 유용함을 확인하셨습니다.
Reviewer3208252님께서 Oct 06, 2012 에 작성하셨습니다.
I use this product in conjunction with other Co Enzymes and it a fantastic treatment for M.E. NADH is involved in the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the body's primary intracellular energy source. When NADH is oxidized in cellular energy-producing organelles called mitochondria, it forms water and energy. This energy is preserved as ATP. Every energy-consuming reaction requires ATP, so the more NADH a cell has available, the more energy it can produce. To keep up with the cellular demand for energy, the body continuously synthesizes NADH (a process that involves niacin, a B-complex vitamin). Some believe M.E is nothing more than lack of chemical Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP-cellular energy), which provides power to the body. Chronic infections, stress, and other ailments tend to deplete the chemical. NADH is the chemical that jumpstarts the production of ATP in the body's cells. NADH is known to trigger energy production through ATP generation and is also a great oxidator.
Great Product

I've created some Java classes, is not a "product" nor a "program" which you can download and run it, is more like a library, not sure which is the proper name.
And I would like to know which are the steps to make it open-source.
I want to distribute it under the New BSD license.
Should I put the license inside of every Java class file that I want to distribute?
or should I put it into a text file named LICENSE.txt? if not, what should I do?
a question about the template:
Copyright (c) < YEAR>, < OWNER> <-- (there, should I include the '<','>') ?
All rights reserved.
is there something else I need to do?
After the licensing is done, when someone else use it for commercial purpose, it will be released as a product, how are they going to retain the copyright notice? will it be only inside of their codes? or should they somehow state which part or files are under the New BSD license?

The Ballad of Pete Rose has been sung so often and in such a shrill manner that I expect Carly Smithson to tackle it this week on American Idol. Yes, he played in an appealing manner. Yes, he collected more hits than any other (though isn't he lucky Ichiro Suzuki started in America so late?).
Also, he broke the cardinal sin (no, not that one) by betting on baseball (including his own team) when that very action nearly tore down the sport 65 years earlier. As it turns out, though, all of his alleged insider knowledge may not have helped him a trifle. An academic paper recently released claims Pete Rose lost nearly $50,000 on baseball.
Of course, it's not the success rate that matters. Beyond the completely valid reason that an appearance of impropriety creates fissures in the baseball body politic, Rose's actions may have been influenced by his delusional beliefs. Tom Browning doesn't have it today in warmups? Bet against him and maybe leave him out an inning too long.
However, it adds to the growing feeling that Pete Rose has never succeeded at any human task outside his long-past ability to slap hits into right field and slide into second head first. Of course, that's all Cincinnati ever asked him to do. Well, that and not gamble on baseball.

The Monterosa slopes offer an attractive mix of woodland runs low-down, particularly at Gressoney, and open slopes higher up; but the latter dominate, and the top lifts can be closed by wind. Run classification generally exaggerates difficulty. Signposting is excellent ('impossible to get lost' says one reporter).
The slopes span vast distances, but don't add up to a huge amount of piste skiing. In earlier editions we suggested that the resort's piste kilometres were exaggerated, roughly by a factor of two – and now the lift company has quietly halved its claims for the linked area from a major 135km to a modest 73km. Amazing; but anyone can make mistakes.
The main three-valley network is very simple, with few variations. Starting from Frachey, up the valley from Champoluc, or from Alagna at the opposite end, you ride two or three lifts up to the first ridge, ski down to Stafal, ride two or three lifts up to the second ridge, ski down. All the descents are gloriously long; the run down to Alagna is 1760m vertical and 7km (previously 13.5km!). Champoluc and Gressoney have worthwhile local areas of slopes, but Alagna does not.
The gondola from Champoluc goes up to Crest, a mid-mountain nursery area with a further gondola and chairlift going on to Colle Sarezza. This area is linked to the runs above Frachey via a steep, narrow, bumpy red run; timid intermediates are better off starting at Frachey. At Gressoney, a pair of chairlifts go up from two points serving wooded runs of 400m/500m vertical, with piste links across the mountainside to Gabiet where you can join the three-valley system.
The main lift system is vulnerable to bad weather, so it is worth noting that both Champoluc and Gressoney have decent sheltered alternatives down-valley, at Antagnod and Bieltschocke. Both small areas offer some good off-piste.
The lifts are virtually all chairs and gondolas; most of the important chairs are fast, the ones out of Gressoney being an exception.
Problems arise mainly on sunny weekends and at peak periods, when the pistes can get busy. The Alpe Mandria chair above the Frachey funicular is a bottleneck. Also at Frachey there may be serious queues for the old double chair to Champoluc. The gondola and (particularly) the cable car at Alagna can build queues. The queue-prone gondola from Stafal to Gabiet has been upgraded, but the one above it gets busy at times.
Gressoney has a boardercross and there's now an 'excellent' park at Gabiet. Big air jumps are sometimes built near the top of the gondola from Champoluc.
The attraction is the off-piste (the black pistes are not steep), with great runs from the high points of the lift system and some excellent heli-drops. Among the adventures we've enjoyed here was a heli-drop on Monte Rosa, skiing down to Zermatt and returning off-piste from Cervinia. But guides can take you to plenty of places lower down too, including the excellent Mandria forest area above Frachey. There is good, shady, easily accessible off-piste beside the long run from Passo Salati towards Alagna.
There are excellent, long cruising runs from the ridges down into the valleys. Down towards Alagna, the black Olen piste (originally and rightly classified red) is a great blast, as is the tough red Alagna piste below it. Confident intermediates should take a guide and explore the gentler off-piste. The area is not ideal for timid intermediates, who should beware the run from Colle Sarezza mentioned under 'Slopes' above, and the red descent to Champoluc. Antagnod suits some people better.
The high nursery slopes at Crest above Champoluc, served by two moving carpets, are better than the lower ones at Gressoney. But neither has ideal gentle runs to progress to. Antagnod is better in this respect. Forget Alagna.
There's a boardercross at Gressoney and great freeriding. A reporter points out that a few important links involve flat trails.
There are long trails: 25km around Gressoney St Jean, 17km in Champoluc; Brusson, down-valley from Champoluc, has the best trails in the area (38km) – 'fantastic', says a downhiller who gave it a go on a bad-weather day.
