Google pledges 79 more patents to the open source community
More weapons against patent trolls
SOFTWARE DEVELOPER Google has given the open source community 79 patents to help defend against patent trolls.
Under the headline "More patents in the service of open source" the firm spelled out its intentions and its continued campaign against patent claims that slow down and harm innovation.
"Open-source software has accelerated the pace of innovation in computing, leading to better products and services at lower cost. But as the impact of open source software has grown, so too has the number of patent attacks against it," said Duane Valz, senior patent counsel at Google.
"In March, we announced an Open Patent Non-Assertion (OPN) Pledge - committing not to sue any user, distributor or developer of open source software on specified patents, unless first attacked. Our goal was to encourage pro-competitive, defensive uses of patents to support open source innovation."
Carrying this further is the promise to release 79 more patents under the OPN Pledge. Some of the patents come from IBM and they extend to servers.
"Today we are pleased to pledge an additional 79 patents under the OPN [Pledge]. These patents cover software used to efficiently operate data centers, including middleware, distributed storage management, distributed database management, and alarm monitoring," explained Valz.
"We acquired these patents from IBM and CA Technologies, companies that in 2005 were among the first to make open source patent pledges. The goal of the patent system is to foster innovation, and we aim to use patents, whether acquired or developed internally, in support of that goal."
In March Google released 10 patents that relate to its Mapreduce technology, and according to Valz the firm will broaden the releases and add more consumer facing patents to the mix.
"To date, the patents we've included in the Pledge have generally related to 'back-end' technologies: servers, data centers, and the like," he added. "But open source software is also transforming the development of consumer products that people use every day - so stay tuned for additional extensions to patents covering those sorts of technologies." µ

With even Seve Ballesteros faltering, losing his match against Paul Azinger, European success was, by no means, guaranteed. However, James' victory over O'Meara put Europe's first singles points on the board, and rounded off a fantastic Ryder Cup for the Englishman. I played well three points out of four.

If the Reds-Phillies season series in 2010 and the past eight years of games between the two teams are any indication, this will be one wild series. The Phillies won this season's series 5-2, but there were four one-run games, and only one game was decided by more than three runs.
In the four games in Philadelphia from July 8-11, the Phillies had three walk-off wins, including one game that they tied by scoring six runs in the bottom of the ninth inning. Two of the walk-off wins were by 1-0 scores, the first back-to-back 1-0 wins by the Phillies since 1913.
Reds left-hander Travis Wood took a perfect game into the ninth inning but got a no-decision. Reds reliever Arthur Rhodes saw his ERA against the Phillies climb to 27.00 at one point while his ERA against the rest of the major leagues was 0.27. A Reds baserunner scored from second on a strikeout.
The games have been like that for eight years, but a lot has changed since the All-Star break. The Phillies made another charge through September, this time on the strength of sensational starting pitching. This series will be their first step toward trying to return to the World Series for the third year in a row; the last National League team to do that was the 1942 to '44 Cardinals. The Reds are in the way. They're a young, vibrant club that one scout says "grinds it out every day. They're fun to watch."
Indeed they are. But they were 20-33 this season against teams with a winning record.
Here are five questions about the series:
1. How good is the Phillies' rotation?
"I haven't seen three guys throwing this well going into the postseason in a long time," one scout said. "Those three guys never lose."
Indeed. In September, Roy Halladay, Roy Oswalt and Cole Hamels were a combined 13-1. Halladay will win the NL Cy Young, Oswalt's career numbers in August and September are as good as those of anyone else in the game and Hamels has been as good as Halladay or Oswalt down the stretch. (Oswalt allowed nine Reds runs in 12 innings this season while pitching for the Astros, but he is 23-3 in his career against them.) All three pitchers have extra incentive. Halladay's 320 career starts are the most among active pitchers without an appearance in the postseason. Oswalt asked out of Houston to play in the postseason again, and now he has his wish. Hamels is trying to make up for a poor 2009 postseason and reclaim the magic that made him the best pitcher in the 2008 playoffs.
2. How good is the Reds' rotation?
The Reds are taking a risk starting Edinson Volquez in Game 1. Volquez has never pitched in the postseason and has started only 21 games in the past two years because he underwent Tommy John surgery. He has the best stuff on the team, however, and he is the guy most capable of matching up with Halladay in the opener. Volquez also is the hottest pitcher on the Reds; he had a 1.95 ERA in September and has had great success against left-handed hitters (see Chase Utley and Ryan Howard): a .229 batting average against and only one home run allowed this season. After Volquez, the Reds will go with Bronson Arroyo and Johnny Cueto. Manager Dusty Baker will have Wood and another good young starter, Homer Bailey, in a deep, versatile bullpen.
3. What lineup will Phillies manager Charlie Manuel use?
Jimmy Rollins missed 15 games in September with a hamstring injury. Manuel went with Shane Victorino in the leadoff spot, and the Phillies were virtually unbeatable. Now Rollins is back. He started the Phillies' last five games of the regular season and seemed to move relatively well but didn't attempt a stolen base. The Phillies are at their best with Rollins at the top of the order, making things happen, stealing bases, etc. But is he 100 percent? Should he hit leadoff?
4. Is Francisco Cordero up for closing games in pressure situations?
Cordero, the Reds' closer, has the most appearances of any active pitcher without throwing in the postseason. He saved 40 games this year, but he blew eight saves, had a 3.84 ERA and allowed 14 hits in 9 1/3 innings in September. There is no chance that Baker will go with rookie Aroldis Chapman in Cordero's place in the ninth inning, but it will be interesting to see how big a role Chapman plays in this series. If there are left-handed batters to get out late, Chapman, not Cordero, might be a better option in certain situations.
5. How will the Phillies pitch to Joey Votto?
Very carefully. Votto will win the NL MVP in part because of what he did in seven games against the Phillies: 11-for-28 with three home runs and six RBIs. Chances are the Phillies will work around Votto and make the rest of the Reds' lineup, including Scott Rolen and Jay Bruce, beat them. There is a danger in that strategy, however, given that the Reds led the league in runs scored this season. Bruce hit four home runs in the last six games he played.

Bone Marrow Custard: Nutrient Dense DelightBreakfast, Main Course, Recipes
A casual scan of the shelves of your local bookstore quickly reveals an overwhelming array of cookbooks. For one interested in truly healthy cooking, the choice can be overwhelming – which to choose, what recipes are best?
I don't recommend many modern cookbooks on this blog for the simple reason that few are authentic from cover to cover from a traditional cooking perspective. Most are only partially accurate with excellent recipes here and there with the remainder promoting faddish, misleading, or incorrect information to the detriment of those earnestly seeking a wholesome, balanced cooking style.
I am pleased to say that in recent weeks, a giant among cookbooks has joined the ranks and it contains recipes and information that I can get behind 100% and wholeheartedly recommend for anyone interested in a time tested cooking approach that is worthy of learning yourself, but also priceless knowledge to pass along to your children and grandchildren.
This cookbook was created by longtime food blogger and friend Jenny McGruther and is aptly named The Nourished Kitchen: Farm-to-Table Recipes for the Traditional Foods Lifestyle. The cookbook is nothing short of a work of art and features recipes using bone broths, fermented vegetables, grass-fed meats, wholesome fats, raw dairy and kombuchas in a wondrous variety of visually tantalizing recipes that promises to please the palate as well as preserve youthful health and vigor.
To demonstrate the creativity, breadth and depth of this cookbook, I asked Jenny if I could feature her recipe for Bone Marrow Custard on The Healthy Home Economist.
Benefits of Bone Marrow in the Diet
During the early 1900's and for centuries prior, bone marrow was an important sacred food for the preindustrialized Indian cultures living in the Rocky Mountain range far into the Canadian north country. Dr. Weston A . Price studied these cultures firsthand documenting that bone marrow was provided as a special dietary ration for growing children and also served as a substitute for milk when necessary.
Bone marrow is not a typical food in the Western diet, but it should be. Bone marrow is not only one of the most delicious of all the sacred foods, it's also one of the most inexpensive! My local butcher offers large bags of marrow for just a few dollars per pound!
In old cookbooks, bone marrow is often used for sweet custards and desserts as it is comprised primarily of fat and tastes like browned butter. Cream and eggs complement roasted marrow in this simple savory custard recipe featured below, while the fresh flat-leaf parsley adds a clean, bright flavor to balance the richness. Jenny often serves this custard for a late but substantial breakfast with sliced fruit, though it pairs nicely with a crisp green salad at lunchtime.
Bone Marrow Custard With Black Pepper And Parsley
Used with permission from The Nourished Kitchen: Farm-to-Table Recipes for the Traditional Foods Lifestyle
Serves 4 or 6
5 pounds beef marrow bones, cut about 1 inch thick
5 eggs
2 cups heavy cream
1 teaspoon finely ground unrefined sea salt
1 teaspoon finely ground black pepper
1 tablespoon minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
Preheat the oven to 425°F/218 °C
Put the bones in a single layer in a roasting pan and roast for 30 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and let the bones cool until they are comfortable to handle.
Decrease the oven temperature to 325°F/163 °C and grease six 4-ounce or four 6-ounce ramekins with a bit of butter.
Extract the marrow from the bones with a spoon and drop it into a bowl, discarding the bones. Whisk the eggs and cream into the marrow, then pass the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve set over a bowl to remove any coagulated bits of marrow or lumps of egg. Whisk in the salt, pepper, and parsley.
Pour the mixture into the buttered ramekins and place the ramekins in a large baking dish. Fill the dish with enough hot water to reach halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the sides of the custards are set but the centers remain a touch wobbly. Serve warm.

Wen you say your local butcher offers marrow bones for a few dollars,are these organic or at least natural gmo free bones.If not you are consuming a lot of toxins from CAFO animals bones and marrow.
My son has problems digesting fats; they show up excessively in his urine. I use L-Carnitine to supplement him. Do you think a high healthy fat recipe like this one would be OK for him?
Please advise,

I have read that bone marrow is a magnet for heavy metals. Which leaves me with a sense of caution regarding this. Grass fed would be cleaner, but even in those animals, if the water source is fluoridated, it would be bringing heavy metals to the body as well– though the animals should be more able to resist the onslaught, with the detoxifying aspect of the grasses.

I scoop out the marrow with a spoon, add lemon and salt and give it to my children. Not so sure about the custard tho.
Perfect. My daughter goes through phases where she likes egg yolk, then doesn't. I have been meaning to make her a pâté or custard or something that she can enjoy on a daily basis because the egg yolk is very important. She is 9 months old, teething, walking and talking. She eats her liver. Sometimes she likes FCLO, sometimes she doesn't, same goes for her shrimp. And the fortified formula sometimes doesn't work with her stomach. We eat fermentables, but I think we may need a trusted brand of probiotic…
I just had roasted bone marrow last week I love it straight on zucchini slice. I cannot imagine toning it down with anything.
Sounds yummy, except for the part about "discarding the bones" Should read "set aside bones for your next batch of stock."
I had no idea this was possible. *homermoment*

I live near you and would like to know who your local butcher is… I looked on some of the recommended websites like eatwild.com and I am having a hard time finding economically priced pastured pork and chicken also. Marrow bones sound like they will fit my budget.

Infusion-Related Reactions And Hypersensitivity Reactions
In UC Trials I and II and CD Trials I and III, hypersensitivity reactions occurred including a case of anaphylaxis (one out of 1434 patients [0.07%]) [see ADVERSE REACTIONS]. Allergic reactions including dyspnea, bronchospasm, urticaria, flushing, rash, and increased blood pressure and heart rate have also been observed. The majority were mild to moderate in severity as assessed by the investigator. Experience with other biologic medications suggests that hypersensitivity reactions and anaphylaxis to ENTYVIO may vary in their time of onset from during infusion or immediately post-infusion to occurring up to several hours post-infusion.
If anaphylaxis or other serious allergic reactions occur, discontinue administration of ENTYVIO immediately and initiate appropriate treatment (e.g., epinephrine and antihistamines).
Patients treated with ENTYVIO are at increased risk for developing infections [see ADVERSE REACTIONS]. The most commonly reported infections in clinical trials occurring at a rate greater on ENTYVIO than placebo involved the upper respiratory and nasal mucosa (e.g., nasopharyngitis, upper respiratory tract infection). Serious infections have also been reported in patients treated with ENTYVIO, including anal abscess, sepsis (some fatal), tuberculosis, salmonella sepsis, Listeria meningitis, giardiasis and cytomegaloviral colitis.
ENTYVIO is not recommended in patients with active, severe infections until the infections are controlled. Consider withholding treatment in patients who develop a severe infection while on treatment with ENTYVIO. Exercise caution when considering the use of ENTYVIO in patients with a history of recurring severe infections. Consider screening for tuberculosis (TB) according to the local practice. For progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), see Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy.
Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy
Another integrin receptor antagonist has been associated with progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), a rare and often fatal opportunistic infection of the central nervous system (CNS). PML is caused by the John Cunningham (JC) virus and typically only occurs in patients who are immunocompromised.
In ENTYVIO clinical trials, patients were actively monitored for PML with frequent and regular screenings, and evaluations of any new, unexplained neurological symptoms, as necessary. While zero cases of PML were identified among patients with at least 24 months of exposure, a risk of PML cannot be ruled out. No claims of comparative safety to other integrin receptor antagonists can be made based on this data.
Monitor patients on ENTYVIO for any new onset, or worsening, of neurological signs and symptoms. Typical signs and symptoms associated with PML are diverse, progress over days to weeks, and include progressive weakness on one side of the body or clumsiness of limbs, disturbance of vision, and changes in thinking, memory, and orientation leading to confusion and personality changes. The progression of deficits usually leads to death or severe disability over weeks or months. If PML is suspected, withhold dosing with ENTYVIO and refer to a neurologist; if confirmed, discontinue dosing permanently.
Liver Injury
There have been reports of elevations of transaminase and/or bilirubin in patients receiving ENTYVIO. In general, the combination of transaminase elevations and elevated bilirubin without evidence of obstruction is generally recognized as an important predictor of severe liver injury that may lead to death or the need for a liver transplant in some patients. ENTYVIO should be discontinued in patients with jaundice or other evidence of significant liver injury [see ADVERSE REACTIONS].
Live And Oral Vaccines
Prior to initiating treatment with ENTYVIO, all patients should be brought up to date with all immunizations according to current immunization guidelines [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION]. Patients receiving ENTYVIO may receive non-live vaccines (e.g., influenza vaccine injection) and may receive live vaccines if the benefits outweigh the risks. There are no data on the secondary transmission of infection by live vaccines in patients receiving ENTYVIO [see ADVERSE REACTIONS].
Patient Counseling Information
See FDA-approved patient labeling (Medication Guide).
Hypersensitivity Reactions
Instruct patients to report immediately if they experience symptoms consistent with a hypersensitivity reaction during or following an infusion of ENTYVIO [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
Inform patients that they may be more likely to develop infections when taking ENTYVIO. Instruct patients to tell their healthcare provider if they develop any signs or symptoms of an infection [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy
Inform patients that progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) has occurred in patients who received a different integrin receptor antagonist product. Instruct patients to report if they experience any new onset or worsening of neurological signs and symptoms immediately, as these could be indicative of PML [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
Liver Injury
Inform patients that elevated transaminase levels with or without elevated bilirubin has occurred in patients who received ENTYVIO. Instruct patients to report promptly any symptoms that may indicate liver injury, including fatigue, anorexia, right upper abdominal discomfort, dark urine or jaundice [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
Nonclinical Toxicology
Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment Of Fertility
Long-term studies in animals have not been performed to evaluate the carcinogenic potential of vedolizumab. Studies to evaluate the possible impairment of fertility or mutagenic potential of vedolizumab have not been performed.
Use In Specific Populations
Pregnancy Exposure Registry
There is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to ENTYVIO during pregnancy. Information about the registry can be obtained by calling 1877-TAKEDA7 (1-877-825-3327).
Pregnancy Category B
Risk Summary
There are no studies with ENTYVIO in pregnant women. No fetal harm was observed in animal reproduction studies with intravenous administration of vedolizumab to rabbits and monkeys at dose levels 20 times the recommended human dosage. Because animal reproduction studies are not always predictive of human response, this drug should be used during pregnancy only if the benefits to the mother outweigh the risk to the unborn child.
Clinical Considerations
Any adverse pregnancy effect from ENTYVIO would likely be greater during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy. Monoclonal antibodies are transported across the placenta in a linear fashion as pregnancy progresses, with the largest amount transferred during the third trimester.
Animal Data
A reproduction study has been performed in pregnant rabbits at single intravenous doses up to 100 mg/kg administered on gestation Day 7 (about 20 times the recommended human dosage) and has revealed no evidence of impaired fertility or harm to the fetus due to vedolizumab. A pre- and post-natal development study in monkeys showed no evidence of any adverse effect on pre- and post-natal development at intravenous doses up to 100 mg/kg (about 20 times the recommended human dosage).
Nursing Mothers
It is unknown whether vedolizumab is present in human milk. Vedolizumab was detected in the milk of lactating monkeys. Exercise caution when administering vedolizumab to a nursing woman.
Pediatric Use
Safety and effectiveness of ENTYVIO in pediatric patients have not been established.
Geriatric Use
Clinical trials of ENTYVIO did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and over (46 Crohn's and ulcerative colitis patients aged 65 and over were treated with ENTYVIO during controlled Phase 3 trials) to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects. However, no overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between these patients and younger patients, and other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients.This monograph has been modified to include the generic and brand name in many instances.

From what I can see, Business Directory appears well laid out with flexibility for its use - love the google maps and headings so that all entries have a standard approach. Having investigated other plugins and struggled enormously with the functionality of wpdirectory (which doesn't have google maps or even a basic heading layout), I am now considering buying Business Directory.
My question is - is it possible to give it a visual index similar to this: so that aesthetically is looks a little better (IMHO). I'd like it to be on a stand alone page, not within a sidebar.
Can a developer help me with this please?

Today, October 5, 2011 a group of opponents of the Islamic Republic of Iran were arrested in Copenhagen, Denmark. Peaceful protesters were only displaying placard in objection to recent arrest of labour activists in Iran when they themselves were arrested.
The police have refused information regarding the whereabouts and charges against the Iranian activists, three of whom are female.
Names of detainees:

So far there is no information on the other four.
The Worker-communist Party of Iran (WPI) condemns the outrageously unjust arrest of Iranian protestors; it is a clear violation of the right to protest. The WPI demands the immediate release of all detainees as they have not committed any crime! They were merely objecting to the crimes of the Islamic regime of Iran in a peaceful action.
Please send protest letters to the Danish police at email@example.com demanding the immediate release of the detainees.

27 September 2011: According to reports, a Saudi woman has been sentenced to flogging for driving a car in Jeddah. The woman, who does not want to be identified out of fear for her safety, was sentenced to ten lashes by a Jeddah court on 27 September 2011 and has appealed the sentence. Reportedly, two other Saudi women are also facing charges for driving. Please write to the Saudi government to repeal the sentence and release this woman and any others in a similar situation. Please continue to express support for the women involved in the Women2Drive campaign and call on the government to lift the ban on women driving.

We have previously reported that the workers of Bandar Imam Petrochemical Complex in Mahshahr have been on strike, and have been gathered in protest in front of the headquarters of the petrochemical complex since Sunday morning, 3rd of Mehr (25 Sept 2011).
According to another report published by the Iranian Workers' Free Union, workers from Arvand, Amirkabir, and Tondguyan Petrochemicals started their own strike simultaneously with Bandar Imam workers in the early hours of Sunday 25 September.
According to this report, 6000 workers from different shifts participated in the Bandar Imam protest, gathering in front of the headquarters of the complex, marching and chanting their demands.
The main demand of the petrochemical workers in Mahshahr's Special Economic Zone is to eliminate the role of contractors as intermediaries between the workers and the employers. Recall that during the great workers' strike in Farvardin (April) this year, it was officially agreed that within three months, this demand would be fulfilled. But the workers have been continually put off.
The Worker-communist Party of Iran unequivocally supports the united strikes of Mahshahr's petrochemical workers and their just demand, and calls workers in all other work centers to join this struggle for eliminating the role of contractors throughout the entire country, and for other just demands.

Dear friend
Arbitration and Mediation (Equality) Bill
We recently wrote to you about the Arbitration and Mediation (Equality) Bill which has been introduced to the House of Lords by Baroness Caroline Cox. Baroness Cox has welcomed us on to her team and we will work together – with various other groups – to promote the passage of the Bill and to persuade members of Parliament to back it. Unfortunately, whilst the Government acknowledged our recent debate and having received numerous letters on this issue, it has already confirmed that it will not support the Bill. We are currently working on a response to this and will share it with you when we can. Baroness Cox has highly praised the work of One Law for All and regularly states that she was 'inspired' by us. Here is more information on the Bill.
New Resources
We have recently completed a detailed guide of the family law rights of women living in Britain with regard to divorce, domestic violence, child custody and other issues. In it, we make comparisons with sharia law and inform women that they are not obliged to attend or accept the rulings of any sharia tribunal or council. The book is accompanied by two guidance videos where the law is outlined both for women and lawyers advising them. You can see them here.
Upcoming Events
To see our upcoming events, including talks in Denmark and Lymington, UK, click here.
Children Act
Under sharia law, child custody is awarded to fathers regardless of the circumstances. Under the Children Act, judges and courts of British law are legally obliged to act only in the best interests of the child or children when making decisions on custody, contact etc. One Law for All will soon release our research on the effect that sharia councils and tribunals are having on the well being of children in Britain. On November 22nd, we will hold a seminar which will include legal experts and personal testimony.
Art Festival
Don't forget our annual art festival, Passion for Freedom , which will run from October 29th to November 5th. More details here.

Maryam Namazie will be speaking at a fringe meeting at the LibDem Federal Conference in Birmingham at 7pm. The discussion entitled the 'Liberal response to Sharia' is organised by the LibDem Humanist and Secularist group. Other speakers include LibDem Peer Baroness Kishwer Falkner. Venue of conference.
The British Humanist Association's debate on Islam in a Secular Europe reminded me of yet another BBC* sponsored programme.
Every 'Muslim' on the panel claimed to represent 'Muslims' worldwide as if there are no differences of opinion amongst Muslims or those labelled as such. They had no trouble excusing and trivialising Sharia law, the burka, child veiling, sex apartheid [Maleiha Malik even spoke of fatwa shopping as if women's desperation to secure justice is a joke].
They deemed universal rights and secularism western concepts and asked for people to mind their own business quoting Shirin Ebadi no less.
And no matter how many times you said your opposition was with Islamism and a defence in fact of Muslims, they still branded you a racist and took on a form of victim status in order to help pave the way for reaction.
Humeira Iqtida (author of Secularising Islamists) and Maleiha Malik (professor of law) are textbook cases of this sort of strategy; Aina Khan (Sharia lawyer) is another example.
Frankly, give me an Islamist any day. At least they are honest.
Algerian sociologist and founder of Women Living Under Muslims Laws Marieme Hélie-Lucas rightly says Islamists always start with women, which is part of their broader agenda, because many (including the likes of Humeira, Malieha and Aina) are always prepared to trade women's rights. Malieha says no one is being stoned as if denial of women's rights in the family is any less scandalous.
Sadly for them, though, there are still many of us – Muslims and non – who are unwilling to make such a trade and who continue to give precedence to real live human beings rather than religion and medievalism.

Frequently Asked Questions About Colorectal Cancer
In this article
Print out these questions and answers to discuss with your doctor.
1. I'm a 45 year-old man with no family history of colorectal cancer or polyps. Should I start getting tested for colon cancer? What are the different types of tests for this cancer?
Because you don't have a family history of colorectal cancer or polyps, you are considered at average risk for colorectal cancer. Men with average risk should begin prevention examinations at age 50. The recommended screening tests to detect early-stage lesions and polyps for men at average risk include:
- Fecal occult blood test This test examines the stool for blood not easily noticed by the naked eye. For men at average risk of colorectal cancer, this test should be performed every year starting at age 50.
- Flexible sigmoidoscopy Flexible sigmoidoscopy is a routine outpatient procedure in which a physician uses a sigmoidoscope (a long, flexible instrument about a 1/2-inch in diameter) to view the lining of the rectum and the lower third of the colon (called the sigmoid and descending colon). This test is usually done every 5 years and can be used in combination with the yearly fecal occult blood test.
- Colonoscopy This is an outpatient procedure in which the rectum and the inside of the entire colon are examined. During a colonoscopy, a doctor uses a long, flexible instrument about a 1/2-inch in diameter to view the lining of the colon. This test is recommended every 10 years, starting at age 50.
Other screening tests that are not as commonly used include:
- Air contrast barium enema Sometimes, a doctor will use a test called air contrast barium enema. This test is an X-ray examination of the entire colon and rectum in which barium and air are introduced gradually into the colon by a rectal tube to improve visualization. Doctors typically recommend this test (sometimes in combination with flexible sigmoidoscopy) every five years, starting at age 50.
- Virtual Colonoscopy This test uses a CT scanner to make images of the inside of the colon and rectum. Though it appears to be as accurate as a colonoscopy, studies are underway to see how this test compares to the other recommended screening tools.
Ask you doctor which of these tests or combination of tests is right for you.

Olly Murs performs live at Kemton Park on August 17th
Olly Murs, one of the most successful male singers of the past decade, will be performing live at Kempton Park Racecourse on Friday, 17 August as part of the Kempton Live summer of music and racing events.
Olly's career took off with jet fuelled propulsion following his appearance on X Factor in 2009 where he sang a duet with Robbie Williams. Williams then subsequently invited Murs to participate in the upcoming Soccer Aid that he was organising, an annual event that Olly took part in again at Old Trafford in May. Olly's career never faltered with his first single 'Please Don't Let Me Go' reaching number one in September 2010. Murs second album 'In Case You Didn't Know' reached number one in the UK album charts featuring two No.1 singles 'Heart Skips a Beat' and 'Dance with Me Tonight'.
Not content with three number one singles, and two double platinum albums, Olly Murs also co-presented The X Factor spin-off show The Xtra Factor with Caroline Flack and had a twenty date Arena Tour throughout the UK and Ireland in February 2012 with every venue selling out, including two nights at London's O2 arena.
Olly loves performing live and is looking forward to performing for his fans at Kempton Park Racecourse once again following a fantastic finale to the Kempton Live music nights in 2011, in front of a crowd of 7,000 fans. "I really enjoy playing live and just want people to enjoy my music. The atmosphere at Kempton is always amazing and I enjoy backing a few horses too." commented Olly in his famous easygoing banter.
Olly is looking forward to performing many of his hit's including the single 'Dance With Me Tonight', co written with Steve Robson and Claude Kelly. "The song just popped out of nowhere," laughs Olly. "It's a really hooky, happy song that you can't help dancing to. I love its Showaddywaddy doo-wop feel, and I defy anyone not to tap their feet to it when they hear it."
Phil White, General Manager of Kempton Park Racecourse, said: "We are thrilled to welcome Olly back to Kempton for a third consecutive year, tickets to the concert are selling like hot cakes so we are looking forward to a great night".
"Olly always performs a fantastic show for his fans which leaves everybody buzzing when they see him live. He has a unique feel good style of music which is perfect for a summer's evening at Kempton Park." Phil continued.
Kempton Park, within easy reach of the capital, is London's premier horse racing and entertainment venue and Olly Murs performing is going to be one of the highlights of Kempton Live this summer. Fans can enjoy live horse racing under the floodlights before the action on the stage kicks off. Cheering home some winners will really put you in the mood for the non-stop action on the stage from Olly.
With Olly's first tour selling out completely you won't want to miss out on seeing him live in 2012. Tickets for Olly's concert at Kempton Park are selling FAST so don't miss out and book now!
Tickets to see Olly Murs live are fantastic value for money! Adult (18 and over) admission costs £20, if booked in advance (by midday on the day of racing) or £25 on the gate for a top night of racing and entertainment!

LUBBOCK, Texas (Texas Tech Press Release) – Texas Tech, backed by its victory at then-No. 11 Notre Dame last Friday, moved into the top 10 of all three major collegiate soccer polls Tuesday for the first time in program history.
The Red Raiders (3-0), who used two quick second-half goals to score a road victory against the Fighting Irish, jumped to No. 10 in both the NSCAA/Continental Tire and Top Drawer Soccer polls and No. 8 in the Soccer America rankings.
This is the highest Tech has ever appeared in the NSCAA poll, breaking the previous mark of 11th that the Red Raiders received on Nov. 5 last year heading into the Big 12 Championship. The Red Raiders have now been ranked in the NSCAA poll for a school record 13-consecutive weeks dating back to the 2013 season, their longest streak in any of the three polls.
Tech is the highest-ranked program of three Big 12 schools in the NSCAA top-25, topping No. 20 Oklahoma and No. 21 West Virginia. Fellow conference counterparts Kansas, Baylor and Texas are all receiving votes in the poll as well.
The Red Raiders will return to the John Walker Soccer Complex this weekend, hosting Sam Houston State in a 7 p.m. kickoff Friday evening before facing Portland State at 1 p.m. Sunday afternoon.

City has grown abundance of good eateries
Published: Sunday, October 23, 2005 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, October 23, 2005 at 12:00 a.m.
Years ago, my mother-in-law gave me my favorite refrigerator magnet. It says: "The way to a woman's heart is through the door of a good restaurant."
How nice it is to drop this hint on a daily basis.
Speaking of restaurants, when we moved here in 1976, Hendersonville was more of a sleepy town and the list of restaurants shorter. Spartanburg Highway was a two-lane road, and some chain restaurants were built shortly after we arrived.
There were good independent restaurants, among them Pro's, Home Food Shop and Clifton's. Blue Ridge Mall was not even a concept and the fast food boom on Four Seasons Boulevard had not started. On the grocery store scene, Winn-Dixie was hot. There were at least four or five of them doing a booming business, as did the A&P at the current Fresh Market location.
For folks who have located here in recent years, it might be a surprise to know that JC Penney and Belk used to be downtown anchor stores. The newspaper was a weekday afternoon affair. Now a morning paper with Sunday edition, it runs articles on area eating establishments.
Hendersonville has changed a lot the past 30 years. In 1975, downtown went through a redesign, changing from four lanes to the two-lane arrangement we enjoy today. The initial cost was $235,000, hard to believe by today's standards. Downtown Hendersonville Inc. was formed to stimulate business and it worked.
There are many restaurants about these days and I encourage you to sample their delights. For the moment, let me focus on one restaurant from a historic point of view. A significant year was 1982, when the dining scene expanded.
Two dining pioneers of Main Street were Robin Bennett and Tom Young. They brought their cuisine act to the mountains from Hilton Head Island and took a leap by opening Expressions Restaurant. (Franco Valsecchi, an initial partner, departed for Asheville.)
Robin, who grew up in Canton, is the backbone of the restaurant with her management skills and operation of the dining room. A colleague says, "She is a mainstay as far as I am concerned." He describes her as persistent, reliable, generous and sympathetic.
Tom and wife, Kimberly, control the chef and beverage domain. All have been equally generous in sharing time and talents with the community. Two examples are fund-raisers for an inn that burned in Hickory Nut Gorge and sponsorships of plays at the Flat Rock Playhouse.
Friend and co-worker Keith Dalbec refers to Tom as "the godfather of fine dining in Hendersonville." People may not know that Tom grew up here, attended local schools and was in the first graduating class in the Asheville-Buncombe Technical College Culinary Program. There is even a Tom Young Scholarship honoring him. Expressions also won the first Wine Spectator Award in Hendersonville, and Tom has continued to rack up culinary awards over the years. Some are displayed in the restaurant foyer. Young took another chance, opening a gourmet cooking store and wine cellar down the street.
Young also helps young people get started in the food business, and acts as a consultant. "He lets the chips fall where they may as far as competition goes," says Dalbec. He practices peaceful co-existence with neighboring restaurants.
In more recent years the downtown focus has expanded from antiques and shops to include eating establishments. Certainly this is due in part to those who risked new approaches.
Let's do a quick downtown review. Sample some tea at Savannah's on Main, and coffee at Black Bear Coffee Shop. Tease your taste buds with some baked goods at McFarlan's and Terra Nova Café and Bakery on Fourth Avenue. Need an ice cream fix? Check out Kilwin's, Doc's, and Mike's on Main. For a wrap, there's NY Burrito.
For a sit-down meal, among my favorite spots are Cypress Cellar and Sinbad. A listing of downtown restaurants include: Flight, Gypsy Cab Co., Café Laurie, Inn on Church, Sparacino's, Café Calabria, Kosta's Kitchen II, Hannah's and Black Rose Pubs, and The Peddler É and my apologies for not being able to include them all in this limited space.
For a community this size, we're luck to have so many shopping districts and restaurants to explore. Nowadays we're an attraction for folks from surrounding counties. They come here for weekend entertainment.
Other downtown trends have been historic preservation, the banking boom and the delightful bears that lend a festive air. These days, folks are so taken with the downtown scene they are establishing residences. On a personal note, I am particularly proud each time I see the peace sign at the city entrance.
There's been a bit of a stir lately with some businesses departing or relocating. It's good to take a moment and recall our history. It takes local support as well as tourism to keep our city and surrounding communities thriving and attractive.
Spread your shopping and eating patronage around.

This is just one question out of many! View the full listing of FAQs here.
Are High Reps For Endurance And Low Reps For Mass?
I'm a senior in high school and for the longest time my coaches have told me that the more reps you do per set, the more definition you get. In other words, more reps means more endurance, and less reps mean more muscle gain, or mass. But just today I was talking to our new head coach, who used to be the weight training coach at some big university up north, and he told me different. He said that higher reps mean more mass and less reps are used strictly for gains in your max. So, now I'm kinda confused as what to do. Which is it? Any help or opinion you might have would be much appreciated.
Your new coach seems to be much closer to the truth than what you have been told previously. Somehow this theory of more reps is for definition and less reps for mass fallacy became promoted throughout many gyms and weightrooms. In reality, because muscle mass gains have more to do with the overall amount of work done, the individual performing more reps has more of a chance of gaining mass.
For those that would like to argue otherwise, yes, you can find those that become more "defined" (an inaccurate term for body fat loss) through higher reps because they burn a lot of calories. If they also keep the loads low enough they won't have a great ability to do anything than build some low forms of strength. The higher repetitions do work on strength-endurance, but I find there to be a more effective way of building strength-endurance and that is by incorporating many sets of low reps with short rest intervals. This way you maintain higher power outputs and still maintain strength-endurance capabilities.
Lower repetition ranges (usually 1-5) are more for building maximal strength and power. This is dependant upon the loads used by the individual. The reason that many will not see great size gains by using these repetition ranges is because they usually do not allow one to obtain the same volume of work, which is a key we already determined to adding size. However, there are some that will put on some size and many will put on a little of what we call functional muscle mass from using these repetition ranges. Functional in the fact that your gain in muscle size will correspond positively with strength gains.
The low rep brackets and ranges should be used by all people, but the amount of time spent with these different rep/set schemes is again dependant upon one's goals. I would say to listen to your new coach, he sounds a little more educated.

Use of Strontium as a Treatment Method for Osteoporosis

* Final gross prices may vary according to local VAT.Get Access
Given its increasing incidence and serious complications, osteoporosis requires safe and effective long-term treatment. Strontium ranelate (SR), a new anti-osteoporotic treatment with a unique mode of action, has been investigated in the SOTI (Spinal Osteoporosis Therapeutic Intervention) and the TROPOS (Treatment of Peripheral Osteoporosis) trials, two major 3-year multinational placebo-controlled phase 3 randomized clinical trials. Unlike antiresorptive agents, SR produced steady and significant bone mineral density increases that correlated directly with decreases in vertebral and hip fracture risk. The safety profile of SR was almost similar to placebo in both trials. A slight but significant increased risk of thromboembolism events was noted from the pooled phase 3 studies data. However, this increased was not found in a large retrospective observational study. Thus, SR demonstrates broad spectrum safety and efficacy in reducing the risks of both vertebral and nonvertebral (including hip) fractures in a wide variety of patients, and should be considered as a first-line option to treat women at risk of osteoporotic fractures, whatever their age, the severity of the disease, and their risk factors.

Airline Industry:
Potential Mergers and Acquisitions Driven by Financial and Competitive Pressures
GAO-08-845: Published: Jul 31, 2008. Publicly Released: Jul 31, 2008.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The airline industry is vital to the U.S. economy, generating operating revenues of nearly $172 billion in 2007, amounting to over 1 percent of the U.S. gross domestic product. It serves as an important engine for economic growth and a critical link in the nation's transportation infrastructure, carrying more than 700 million passengers in 2007. Airline deregulation in 1978, led, at least in part, to increasingly volatile airline profitability, resulting in periods of significant losses and bankruptcies. In response, some airlines have proposed or are considering merging with or acquiring another airline. GAO was asked to help prepare Congress for possible airline mergers or acquisitions. This report describes (1) the financial condition of the U.S. passenger airline industry, (2) whether the industry is becoming more or less competitive, (3) why airlines seek to merge with or acquire other airlines, and (4) the role of federal authorities in reviewing proposed airline mergers and acquisitions. To answer these objectives, we analyzed Department of Transportation (DOT) financial and operating data; interviewed agency officials, airline managers, and industry experts; and reviewed Horizontal Merger Guidelines and spoke with antitrust experts. DOT and the Department of Justice (DOJ) provided technical comments, which were incorporated as appropriate.
The U.S. passenger airline industry was profitable in 2006 and 2007 for the first time since 2000, but this recovery appears short-lived because of rapidly increasing fuel costs. Legacy airlines (airlines that predate deregulation in 1978) generally returned to modest profitability in 2006 and 2007 by reducing domestic capacity, focusing on more profitable markets, and reducing long-term debt. Low-cost airlines (airlines that entered after deregulation), meanwhile, continued to be profitable. Airlines, particularly legacy airlines, were also able to reduce costs, especially through bankruptcy- and near-bankruptcy-related employee contract, pay, and pension plan changes. Recent industry forecasts indicate that the industry is likely to incur substantial losses in 2008 owing to high fuel prices. Competition within the U.S. domestic airline industry increased from 1998 through 2006, as reflected by an increase in the number of competitors in city-to-city (city-pair) markets, the presence of low-cost airlines in more of those markets, lower air fares, fewer dominated markets, and a shrinking dominance by a single airline at some of the nation's largest airports. The average number of competitors in the largest 5,000 city-pair markets rose to 3.3 in 2006 from 2.9 in 1998. This growth is attributable to the increased presence of low-cost airlines, which increased nearly 60 percent. In addition, the number of largest 5,000 markets dominated by a single airline declined by 15 percent. Airlines seek to merge with or acquire other airlines with the intention of increasing their profitability and financial sustainability, but must weigh these potential benefits against operational and regulatory costs and challenges. The principal benefits airlines consider are cost reductions--by combining complementary assets, eliminating duplicate activities, and reducing capacity--and increased revenues from higher fares in existing markets and increased demand for more seamless travel to more destinations. Balanced against these potential benefits are operational costs of integrating workforces, aircraft fleets, and systems. In addition, because most airline mergers and acquisitions are reviewed by DOJ, the relevant antitrust enforcement agency, airlines must consider the risks of DOJ opposition. Both DOJ and DOT play a role in reviewing airline mergers and acquisitions, but DOJ's determination as to whether a proposed merger is likely substantially to lessen competition is key. DOJ uses an integrated analytical framework set forth in the Horizontal Merger Guidelines to make its determination. Under that process, DOJ assesses the extent of likely anticompetitive effects in the relevant markets, in this case, airline city-pair markets. DOJ further considers the likelihood that airlines entering these markets would counteract any anticompetitive effects. It also considers any efficiencies that a merger or acquisition could bring--for example, consumer benefits from an expanded route network. Our analysis of changes in the airline industry, such as increased competition and the growth of low-cost airlines, indicates that airline entry may be more likely now than in the past provided recent increases in fuel costs do not reverse these conditions. Additionally, the Horizontal Merger Guidelines have evolved to provide clarity as to the consideration of efficiencies, an important factor in airline mergers.
