Re: deskjet 1050 j410 problem scanning
I just pulled the product out from package and installed everything as instructed. Operating system is XP 32bit, connected with usb.
I can print and copy, but unable to scan and it seems that this problem is very common.
Your reply is the first possible solution to the problem that i found from HP employee, but are you serious about this?
This problem seems to appear on mac, win 7, xp 32bit, xp 64bit, vista, and you suggest resetting OS? Maybe the solution would be in fixing your product/software???
Can't believe how ridiculous this situation is. When I buy a product i would expect it to work!
It's like buying a car and finding out that you can steer and drive, but you can't brake
Please provide us the means to make our puchases work properly.

Re: deskjet 1050 j410 problem scanning
Solution was found!
I tried different usb-ports, and the ones in the front panel worked.
For some reason scanning was impossible through usb 3.0 port, but in usb 2.0 everything is working ok
Hope this will help others too.
Here is some information about usb in my computer. Let me know if you would need more information. So the device was connected to "USB Composite Device USB\VID_03F0&PID_8911\CN1C813HTK05QT" earlier

Run the following utility, and also check the WIA settings.
Follow the steps below to check the WIA Service:
1. Type services.msc in run or search program and files
2. Scroll down to the WIA Windows Image Acquisition
3. Make sure that this service is running. Click Stop, and then Restart to make sure
4. Restart the computer
Restart the Dependencies services:
1. Click on Start, in Search box type "services" without quotes.
2. Scroll down until you see Windows Image Acquisition (WIA).
3. Double click on it and go to the tab called Dependencies.
4. 2 services should be listed.
5. Exit that window and look for Remote Procedure Call (RPC).
6. Make sure it's on manual or if it is on Auto, just leave it. Make sure the service is started though.
7. Go to Shell Hardware Detection and Double click.
8. Set the Start up Type as Manual and hit Apply.
9. You should be able to Start the service by hitting Start.
10. Now you are done and the Twain Manager should be working and not give you an error. If the error still occurs, make sure you downloaded the new twain_32.dll file and place it in C:Windows>twain_32 replace the new twain_32 with the old. This should fix your problem
Check dependencies or sub dependencies:
Right click on WIA (Windows Imaging Acquisition) selecting first properties and then the dependencies tab. It should list: Remote Procedure Call RPC and Shell Harward Detection
Under RPC it will then list DCOM Service Process Launcher and RPC Endpoint Mapper Go back to the main services.msc list and then right click and start all the items listed as dependencies or sub dependencies under WIA

Marc Dreier Gets His Due
The insane story of the lawyer who bilked hedge funds out of millions.
Marc Dreier was robbed by Bernie Madoff. Not of money, but of attention. The flamboyant Park Avenue lawyer's arrest took place just days before Madoff's confession. Had it happened at any other time, his multi-billion-dollar fraud might have gone down as the largest and ballsiest in New York history. The details of his lifestyle — his pricey art collection, lavish homes, yachts, his penchant for hobnobbing with celebrities, all of which were so much more colorful than Madoff's, with his 6 p.m. dinners — would have been splashed across the tabloids. And you know, we've felt robbed, in a way, not knowing the whole story. But happily, New York's Bob Kolker gives this man his due in next week's magazine, online now. Enjoy!

AES E-Library
Adaptive Noise Cancellation of Speech Signals in a Noise Reduction System Based on a Mircophone Array
The paper presents an adaptive noise reduction system based on a microphone array. An application of the presented system is the hands-free telephone in cars. In the paper the main ideas of the algorithms are outlined, and the results of the tests in realistic conditions are presented. The system works under the assumption that noise in each of the microphone channels is uncorrelated and the desired signal is correlated. It provides a high signal-to-noise ratio enhancement and processed speech that sounds natural.

The 2015 Conference Theme Logo Design was created by Debbie Watson of Christ United Methodist Church, Knoxville, TN (Knoxville District). Debbie's explanation of the logo: This design represents Jesus as the cross and his repeated question to Peter as the heart on the cross. Jesus' directive to Peter and to us all "Feed My Lambs" is at the foot of the cross where all lambs gather.

Outstanding scent it is. The scent is inspired from the sea, with sweetness. Such a compliment it will be to your cologne essentials. Its a no brainer. A must try and buy. Bvlgari Aqua is a welcoming scent we all should have.

Hi there,
After clicking on "older posts" at the bottom left of the page more than twice, (so essentially the 3rd time), my site loses functionality. I used to be redirected to a page that says "oops, this link appears to be broken".
Now the site just freezes and doesn't load anymore on the 3rd click.
Any ideas?

Photo of the Week: Improving Women's Livelihoods in Ghana
October 25, 2013
TechnoServe has helped 4,000 rural women to earn higher incomes by collecting and processing shea nuts.
Damata Shihadu, a member of the Nyebu Be Yoona cooperative, feeds shea nuts into a depulping machine in order to make shea butter. TechnoServe has helped Damata and more than 4,000 poor rural women in northern Ghana earn more sustainable incomes from shea. We worked with women's producer and processing groups to improve their technical, business and money management practices, and to find financing and new market opportunities. With our assistance, the women have increased their productivity and more than tripled their incomes, giving them money to feed their families and send their children to school.

Get a cardigan that doesn't close in the front that you can layer over dresses and blouses, a lightweight tunic and a shift dress—any of them can be cinched with a belt after the pregnancy. Depending on how big you are, you might also go for an Empire-waist dress or a strapless dress with elastic in it (hint: Look in the swim department—some stretchy cover-ups can be worn as dresses!).

Minneapolis is not the "Manliest City" in America
Damn. We're not as manly as Milwaukee, so we'll let you notch one up there, cheese heads. But Minneapolis still broke the Top 30 in Sperling's annual "America's Manliest Cities" survey.
The biggest hunk of American manhood? You can find it in Charlotte, N.C. Here's why: An overabundance of NASCAR and drag racing tracks, NHRA events, bowling, fishing, steak houses, hardware stores and sports bars.
Portland came in a No. 50, evidently emasculated by too many minivans, foreign cars, cafés/coffee shops, sushi restaurants and subscriptions to Martha Stewart Living.
Here's the Top 20:

Really pretty! On a scale of 1-10, I would give the moisturization a 7. The very finly milled bronze colored glitter is mixed it. It gives a slight shimmer. The only real negative- it does transfer to clothes. It's not that bad though. So, don't wear black when using this...or if you do, keep a wet cloth near by to wipe the tranferred shimmer off. I do recommend this lotion...if anything....for the amazing beachy scent.

Reasonable price, nice smell, bit strong at first. Super pretty shimmer, good hydration. I love it for summer time, gives a lovely, non-overwhelming glow. :)

HOLY GLITTERS, this after-sun moisturizer is glittery, not shimmery. I like a healthy glow from my skin, but this product makes your skin look fake. The smell is great and it is moisturizing, but the shimmer doesn't impress me. It's a little too much.

I LOVE THIS! I was a little nervous about the shimmer effect, but its perfect for summer. After going in the summer this brings out highlights in your skin. It makes you look sun kissed in any occasion. The smell is one of the best smelling products ever, I'm obsessed with it, I need a perfume that smells exactly like this!

I didn't find this very moisturizing and there is a strong fragrance, which is actually OK for the summer when I don't wear much perfume most days. But the thing that is is really bothering me is that I've had this only four days and already it is really hard to get the lotion out of the bottle. The bottle is stiff/not easy to squeeze. Bad packaging! I wish this had a little more bronzing affect but that is just personal preference. Might buy this again even though packaging is highly annoying to me.

It has just enough shimmer and not too much, isn't glittery, it has a slight bronze shimmer and glow, made my skin feel very good, smells very good and delicious, and I will stock up on this to wear all year around. The only reason I gave it 5 stars is because I wish that it had just a little more bronze in it like the pink bottle which is what I prefer. Other than the I would def buy again when I am not in the mood for the pink bottle to switch up.

Overall Take: Decent shimmer for legs and body but nothing special. The product's light reflecting particulates are quite large and the fragrance - although moderately pleasant, is quite strong - therefore, I found it irritating to my sensitive skin. Although the bottle's green iridescent plastic is kind of cool, the bottle itself is nothing glamourous or exciting; looks like a generic sunscreen bottle. Would not buy again.

Just purchased this today at wal mart .. i have been using the lime coconut after sun lotion and really liked the smells so decided to try this one .. its coconut papaya scent.... the best part is that is smells delicious... not at all like coconut but more of a fruity sweet smell.. not overpowering at all just a light scent.... Now onto what i dont like it does NOT moisturize it actually made my skin feel very tight also it has a gold tone shimmer which makes my skin look yellow and sick ... i am not a very very pale person but this makes me have yellow jaundice like undertones. Your better off buying the big bottle of lime coconut after sun lotion it is a little better at moisturizing and the bottle is more than twice the size.

I got this because I needed a shimmer product to use on my legs, etc when showing some skin. This has quite a pigmented gold shimmer & a nice subtle scent. Seems to sink in pretty well. I only wish it had a bit on a bronze tone to it since I'm on the pale side and could use a bit more color

I love shimmer so I was eager to get this. I bought this along with the SPF 20 shimmer lotion & they are both wonderful in the shimmer dept.
I wear this when I have no need for sunblock. The mica shimmer is super-fine & extremely subtle. In sunlight the skin glows & sparkles ever so faintly in gorgeous coppery-bronzyness (not tacky pale yellow gold). I love that this shimmer is so micro-fine it really stays put on the skin & doesn't rub off on all my clothes & furniture. Wonderful for glowy summer legs. Brings dull skin to life.
I definitely don't use this for after-sun. For that purpose I like Reviva alpha lipoic acid lotion, which always soothes my skin after a day in the sun. I use this lotion strictly for shimmer purposes.
I absolutely love everything about this product (yummy tropical scent too) except perhaps the clunky packaging. Regardless, will absolutely buy again. My #1 favorite shimmer lotion however is Burt's Bees Radiance (also made with mica). Mica rocks.

Every livestock farmer wants their herds to be as productive as they can be, and one LaRue County man is helping farmers across the nation in meeting those productivity goals.
Gil Myers PhD, of Magnolia is an independent consultant and livestock parasitolosist who owns and operates Myers Parasitology Services, which is a parasite monitoring laboratory that tests parasites in livestock herds. Through his business, Myers said he promotes parasite monitoring as it allows livestock farmers to objectively evaluate their worm control programs.

At one time or another, most people have dreamed of exotic places they would like to visit. For many, the closest they'll come to being at those sites, though, is vicariously through the Internet or pictures in travel books or magazines.
If Faye Puyear were to write about where she has visited and what she has seen since retiring, however, she could compose a book. Among the many locations to which the former LaRue County Schools' educator has traveled are the Vatican, Peru, Egypt, and China.
The boil water advisory has been lifted for all of Hodgenville.

This question regarding IRAs came up the other day: "When do I have to fund the payment for this deduction if I want to take it for this year's taxes?"
The answer is April 15, which is the official filing date for the return.
Do you have a smartphone? If you do, then you can check the status of your IRS refund by looking at an app that is now available. It is IRS2Go ,version 4.0, and it is in English and Spanish.
Let the game(s) begin. No, not the Winter Olympics, but the annual IRST bowl game. Never heard of it? It is a long game, starting in January and officially ending in April. But it has been known to go into overtime, as late as October.
One of the first things I noticed when I opened up my commercial tax program for 2013 to do a return was a question regarding health insurance.
Puff: The IRS has suggested that in order to prevent identity theft, file your return as early as possible. This will enable you to receive your refund before the scammers have an opportunity to try to hack your account.
This time every year it is important to be reminded that when filing your tax return, it is you and only you who is responsible for its content and may be subject to penalties and fines.
Notwithstanding what anyone says, your return could be audited.
So, how are the New Year's resolutions going? Still on track to keep the tax items intact?
After last week's suggestion regarding record responsibility, a reader wanted to know if the Internal Revenue Service requires a formal journal or set of books to record all of the entries regarding travel...
With the new year come new strength and new thoughts. This is a very profound statement and it should make us all aware of our situation as taxpayers.
It might appear that it is hardly the time to discuss taxes, but with families getting together from different parts of the country, it is a good time to do so.
Now that we are in the Christmas mood, along comes something from our friends in Washington that has to deflate our spirit. Even though Congress will not be in session, there is a chance two new taxes will be added for 2014.

First of all, great theme! Three quick questions though:
1. Can you make public the code you use for your "join" page on the demo Frisco installation? It looks amazing, and I'd like to model mine off of that.
2. I know you're limiting the amount of colors available so far, but where in the CSS file is that option if I'd like to change it myself? i.e. what field changes the header color (and I assume the footer text as well)?
3. Is there any way to add a custom logo to the header? If so, how would I do that?
Thanks so much!

How Clean Should We Be?
What You Can Stop Worrying About
Barnes cites studies that show that kids who grow up around pets are less likely to get asthma. Kids in day care who are exposed to kids with colds and other germs are less likely to end up with allergies, asthma, and other health problems.
Sterilizing Everything
You can probably lay off all the antibacterial soaps and cleansers. Even the FDA is skeptical. They are asking antibacterial soap makers to prove that the products are more effective than regular soap. There are also questions about the safety of some of the ingredients, so there may be more risks than benefits. "The vast amount of types of bacteria and viruses and fungi that we see in everyday life don't hurt us at all. They're just there," says Weinstock "Only a handful" are likely to make you sick, he says.
To get rid of germs when washing your hands, encourage your kids to lather up for as long as it takes to sing "Happy Birthday" twice.
When your child is sick, you definitely want to go to the doctor to get him checked out. But many childhood illnesses are caused by viruses. Antibiotics won't fight those or speed your little one's recovery in those cases.
"The first response shouldn't be to demand to put your child on an antibiotic, which will kill the good bacteria in order to fight the bad bacteria," Barnes says. Good bacteria live in our guts, and we need them for digestion.
Also, if you use antibiotics too often, they might not work as well when you really need them.
Germs: Where to Fight
Even if you don't have to stress about everything, there are some key things to focus on to keep your family healthy and happy. You can be "germ smart," say the experts, by sticking to some basics.
- Use separate cutting boards and utensils for produce and for raw meat, poultry, and seafood. Wash countertops, utensils, and cutting boards in hot, soapy water.
- Use a food thermometer. Cook whole meats to 145 F, ground meats to 160 F, and chicken and turkey to 165 F.
- Don't leave out food for more than 2 hours. Keep it to less than 1 hour when it is warm outside.
- Disinfect kitchen counters before and after preparing food. Use paper towels or sanitizing wipes.
- Disinfect bathroom surfaces often -- especially if someone in the house is sick.
Wash your hands often, including before and after preparing food, after going to the bathroom or handling diapers, after handling pets, and whenever they look dirty.

Tigers hold their heads high despite tough loss
Published: Tuesday, September 19, 2006 at 10:09 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, September 19, 2006 at 10:33 a.m.
BATON ROUGE -- The spoils dont always go just to the victor.
In LSUs case, theyve also gone to the Tigers despite their 7-3 loss at Auburn this past Saturday.
For the second consecutive week, junior tackle Glenn Dorsey was named the Southeastern Conference Defensive Lineman of the Week on Monday, although to hear coach Les Miles speak, sophomore linebacker Darry Beckwith was worthy of recognition, too.
Furthermore, Lincoln Financial Sports Television (formerly Jefferson-Pilot) announced it will televise LSUs home game with Mississippi State at 11:30 a.m. on Sept. 30.
The Bulldogs are coming off a 32-29 loss to Tulane (1-1), which will serve as
LSUs homecoming opponent at 7 p.m. Saturday.
For all that, LSU (2-1) still fell four spots to 10th in The Associated Press Top 25 poll.
Despite the drop, Miles remains as enthused as ever about the Tigers, although he stressed the need for improvement during his weekly luncheon on the fifth floor of the athletic administration building.
Probably the most dramatic improvement needs to take place in running the football, Miles said. Weve got to get that fixed.
LSU managed just 43 yards on 23 carries. The Tigers amassed 311 total yards offense to 182 for Auburn, but without the balance that a running attack would have created, LSU sputtered offensively.
If you would have told me that their offense would gain 182 yards and we would gain 311,and there would be one turnover, and I would have told you we won by two touchdowns, Miles said. We didnt. They certainly deserved the victory, and were going to go on and improve. The key is that our football team take from this disappointment the fact that they did give great effort, the fact that they are a strong football team.
Helping make it so is Dorsey, who recorded eight tackles against Auburn.
Three were for losses of minus-17 yards, including 1.5 quarterback sacks. He also had a quarterback hurry.
A junior from Gonzales, recorded eight tackles, three tackles for losses and 1.5 sacks in LSUs 7-3 loss to third-ranked Auburn. Dorseys three tackles behind the line of scrimmage resulted in 17-yards in losses for Auburn. He also added a quarterback hurry.
Dorsey ranks second on the team with 17 tackles, including six for losses. He also has a pair of quarterback sacks.
I felt like our defense was superb (against Auburn), Miles said. Our defense is (the) No. 1 defense in the country overall (170.0 yards per game), No. 2 in pass (96.67 ypg), No. 3 in scoring (4.33 points per game). If they continue to play like theyre playing,and continue to improve, continue to listen to the coaching, this will be a very special defense. Our young guys are meshing very well with the older guys and the leadership of the defense.
One of the emerging newcomers has been Beckwith, who came to LSU with great acclaim from Baton Rouge Parkview Baptist.
Miles said it was only a matter of time before Beckwith made his presence felt.
Beckwith leads LSU with 23 total tackles, including 2.5 for lossss and 1.5 sacks.
If you watch the games, Miles said, he has great speed to the ball and he really has a feel for the play of the game.
Although Beckwith, Dorsey and others should be prepared for the Green Wave, Miles said Tulane has great weapons offensively that will challenge LSU.

About 100 girls wearing full veils and praying are shown in
an undisclosed location in the 17-minute video in which Boko
Haram leader Abubakar Shekau speaks.
Boko Haram militants, who are fighting for an Islamist state,
stormed a secondary school in the northeastern village of
Chibok on April 14 and seized 276 girls who were taking
exams. Some managed to escape but about 200 remain missing.
A government official said "all options" were being
considered to secure the girls' release.
Nigeria has deployed two army divisions to hunt for the girls
while several nations including the United States, Britain,
Israel and France have offered help or sent experts.
In a 1.25 minute clip of the video on YouTube, scores of
girls in black and grey veils sit on the ground and chant,
before Shekau, wearing military fatigues and holding an
AK-47, addresses the camera. He appears confident and at one
point laughs.
"All I am saying is that if you want us to release the girls
that we have kidnapped, those who have not accepted Islam
will be treated as the Prophet (Mohammed) treated infidels
and they will stay with us," he said, according to a
translation of his words originally spoken in a Nigerian
"We will not release them while you detain our brothers," he
said, before naming a series of cities in Nigeria. It was not
clear whether he was in the same location as the girls.
The government has seen the latest video, Mike Omeri, a
senior official in the Ministry of Information, told a news
"The government of Nigeria is considering all options towards
freeing the girls and reuniting them with their parents," he
Authorities are holding hundreds of suspected Boko Haram
militants and there have been several jail break attempts.
Suspected militants overpowered guards at a prison near the
presidential villa in Abuja in March, triggering a gun battle
that killed 21 people.
In another incident the same month, insurgents attempting to
free captured comrades fought a two-hour battle in March at
Giwa barracks in the northeastern city of Maiduguri.
Human rights groups have said previously that Giwa barracks
has been used to illegally detain and torture suspects,
something the military denies.
The Nigerian government has been criticised for its response
to the abductions but President Goodluck Jonathan said on
Sunday that international military and intelligence
assistance made him optimistic about finding the girls.
A Nigerian military source told Reuters on Monday in
Maiduguri that two foreign counter-terrorism units were
already on the ground.
"They have visited Chibok on Sunday for preliminary
investigation with our troops and experts before fully
kick-starting the rescue mission," the source said.
Jonathan will attend a summit in Paris on Saturday to discuss
security in the region.
"The objective is to deepen the cooperation and partnership
between Nigeria and her neighbours," Jonathan's spokesman
Reuben Abati said.
Leaders from Chad, Benin, Cameroon and Niger are also due to
attend along with representatives from the European Union,
Britain and the United States, likely to be at foreign
minister level.
The mass abduction of schoolgirls has touched a chord around
the world, and triggered a support campaign using the Twitter
hashtag #BringBackOurGirls.
Boko Haram has killed thousands since 2009 and destabilised
parts of northeast Nigeria, the country with Africa's largest
population and biggest economy.

In Sacrifice, about a father who loses his son to the power of the state, it is difficult to miss the parallels with Chen's own life.
Ultimately, the film works because the doctor's relationship with the general - and both of their relationships with the doctor's young boy - is just as complicated as the action-packed coup.
Chen can't seem to decide whether he's making a fable or something more down-to-earth, but Sacrifice works either way, if not both at once.
Sacrifice is practically a chamber piece, and duly draws its strength from its performances, especially those of Ge and Wang.
A historical melodrama that retains an ancient, elemental pull even as it insufficiently charts motivation and the self-denying values of antiquity.

"Grillo played a seminal role in the San Francisco branch of a movement that would revolutionize American art. Today, Grillo is acknowledged as perhaps the first and purest 'action painter' on the West Coast and one of the most influential painters of San Francisco's school of Abstract Expressionism." —Thomas Albright, Art in the San Francisco Bay Area
"A collage of spiraling forms, dazzling color chords, dynamic diagonals, and jump-cut spatial locations, fast rhythms, fleeting fragmentary shapes . . . as hedonistic and full of joy as the best Hoffmans of the sixties, and even more sensuous." —April Kingsley, art critic on Grillo's work

A large-scale trial has found that apixaban, a new anticoagulant drug, is superior to the standard drug warfarin for preventing stroke and systemic embolism in patients with atrial fibrillation.
Moreover, the study found, use of apixaban results in substantially less bleeding and lower mortality.
The results were presented Aug. 28 by Duke University Medical Center researchers at the European Society of Cardiology in Paris and published simultaneously on the website of the New England Journal of Medicine.
"These are important findings because they show that, when compared to warfarin, [which is]a very effective treatment to prevent stroke, apixaban resulted in an additional 21% relative reduction in stroke or systemic embolism," said Christopher B. Granger, MD, the study's lead author and professor of medicine at Duke. "It also resulted in a 31% relative reduction in major bleeding, as well as an 11% relative reduction in overall mortality."
The randomized, double-blind clinical trial known as ARISTOTLE recruited 18,201 patients with atrial fibrillation at 1,034 clinical sites in 39 countries, giving them either five milligrams twice daily of apixaban or warfarin for an average of 1.8 years.
Apixaban has several major practical advantages over warfarin in addition to the therapeutic benefits, said John Alexander, MD, a study co-author and Duke cardiologist. "It does not require monitoring and has few interactions with other medications or food. Apixaban was better tolerated than warfarin, with fewer discontinuations."
The benefits of reducing stroke and lower rates of bleeding were consistent across all major subgroups — despite the heterogeneity that exists in the quality of warfarin use across the world, Alexander said.
The number of events prevented per 1,000 people, which indicate absolute risk reduction, was also impressive, he said. Apixaban prevented six patients from having a stroke, 15 patients from having major bleeding and eight patients from dying. The major effect on stroke prevention was on hemorrhagic stroke. Apixaban prevented four patients from having hemorrhagic stroke and two patients from having an ischemic or uncertain type of stroke.
Warfarin is a vitamin K antagonist that is well documented for its ability to prevent blood clots. Previous studies indicate that long-term use of warfarin in patients with atrial fibrillation and other stroke risk factors can reduce stroke by up to 70%. But only about half of patients who could benefit from warfarin actually do. Patients on warfarin must have regular blood tests to monitor and adjust the dose and avoid certain foods and medications that interfere with warfarin's effect.
"There is an enormous unmet need for treatment of patients at risk for stroke associated with atrial fibrillation," Granger said. "Only about half of patients who should be treated are being treated. The disparity exists because warfarin treatment has several limitations."
Apixaban is an oral direct factor Xa inhibitor that showed promise last year when trial findings presented at the European Society of Cardiology showed apixaban patients were 54% less likely to have a stroke or blood clot than those who took aspirin. Apixaban and aspirin showed similar risks of major bleeding.

Diabetes Health Center
Antioxidant Soothes Diabetic Neuropathy
Dyck, who conducted the study with Russian researchers, says that alpha lipoic acid offered several benefits to his patients with diabetes. "It is a very strong antioxidant and it is assumed that oxidation plays a role in the development of diabetes," he tells WebMD. This means the substance -- produced in very small amounts by the body and also found in foods such as potatoes and red meat -- protects against damage by cell-ravaging "free radicals." This oxidation process is implicated in various diseases, including heart disease, cancer, and neurologic conditions including Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.
"Besides that, alpha lipoic acid also seems to promote better blood flow and oxygen to the nerves and may also promote the entry of glucose and the breakdown of it into cells," he says.
Passwater says this is because alpha lipoic acid improves the function of cell "transporters" that carry and distribute glucose. "This helps insulin do its role," he tells WebMD. "It also has a specific effect on nerves that we don't know too much about but have noted. Overall, it has universal benefits, affecting various body sites, and works with other antioxidants to help them protect the body."
Though hundreds of studies have been done on alpha lipoic acid -- including several that suggest a benefit in treating diabetic neuropathy in patients with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes -- few large trials have been conducted in the U.S. In several foreign studies on mice and people, dosages ranging from 60 mg to 800 mg seemed to produce improvements in blood sugar levels and insulin production and decrease diabetic neuropathy pain.
Diabetic neuropathy is currently treated with painkillers, including narcotics -- which can be habit-forming -- and antiepileptic drugs, which can cause sedation. Alpha lipoic acid, meanwhile, appears to be safe and has few side effects, says Dyck.
But he isn't suggesting that people with diabetes self-medicate themselves with alpha lipoic acid. "We're not quite at that stage; we first need to complete studies using the oral capsules. If you have diabetes, the first line of treatment is glucose control," Dyck tells WebMD. "But the reality is that some people cannot or will not get desired control of blood sugar. And if further research proves conclusive, it looks as though alpha lipoic acid might be one of the ways they can do it."

CrossFit and Travel Combined
How can you choose a CrossFit box to train at if you don't know what you should be looking for? And how can you judge the quality of your CrossFit box if you've never experienced another one?
CrossFit. Travel. Two passions combined.
From the snow covered mountains of New Zealand´s South Island, to Dubai´s dusty desert and Spain´s stunning beaches I´ve wandered. And I´ve boxed jumped. I´ve visited as many CrossFit boxes as time, logistics and priorities have allowed. Following the CrossFit.com affilitate finder map, I've kept off the tourist trail as much as possible, been to some amazing places, met inspiring people, kept relatively (?!) fit and had room for that self-exploration that so many travellers seem to crave.
And now you reap the benefits. Check out the straight-talking, honest reviews about the boxes I've visited for more of an idea of what you can expect from your box. These reviews are entirely from my point of view and experience. It has been interesting to see how every box is run slightly differently. What I look for and like will be different to you, so the summaries are as factual as possible.
There are a few other Bits 'n' pieces also worth a read, like why weightlifting is so important for girls, why we should stop obsessing so much about being skinny and a piece about an endurance swimmer who turned to CrossFit for increased gains.
The Travel section in Box Jumping offers an alternative insight to a range of travel destinations. This is a CrossFit-free section of the website, with information on local favourties, food and festivals, and how to get the most out of random destinations.

Review: MyLeo CrossFit. Berlin
MyLeo CrossFit in Berlin was such a solid box that I walked out absolutely raving about the place. Whether this was because I had been gagging for a CrossFit session after 10 days of cheese in Holland, or because the coaching and box itself really were that good I don't know, but I loved my session there.
With my creative travel itinerary [read: non-existent] and priorities to catch up with old friends in the fascinating city of Berlin, organising CrossFit sessions had become a last-minute task. All the same, I got a quick reply to my drop-in request from MyLeo CrossFit's Lea, who said she would fit me into any of the classes, despite the website saying they were full. Now that's welcoming!
In true Berlin style, I jumped on a funky old bike and rode from the east to the west of the city, past funky wall art and welcoming cafes, the House of Parliament, and the beautiful green expanse that is the Tiergarten Park. The ride was a good warm up for a body that had become more accustomed to beer than burpees. I stuck my head through the door and into the massive, black warehouse that is MyLeo CrossFit. Leo himself was taking a PT session at the time, but took a moment to say hi and tell me where things were. Also very welcoming! Read the rest of this entry
Dry July: The perfect excuse to abstain without feeling left out
Dry July may have turned into another campaign to raise funds for cancer sufferers, but fundraising was not behind the creation of this teetotaling month, and nor is it the prime motivation for most people signing up to this entire month without booze.
Kiwis are big drinkers, and that's a fact. It's a fact we're usually quite proud of too, with it not being uncommon to hear people (even grown-up professionals) laughing about their weekend benders. Curiously, we're not the only nation of people ready to stick their chests out and detail their drinking efforts – the Argentines will tell you how they love their beer, the Russians have vodka for breakfast and even the ever-healthy Norwegians will pull out their aquavit at the oddest of occasions. Ensuing debates about who actually does drink the most are as amusing as they are curious and pointless.
Review: CrossFit Trondheim. Norway
Given that Oslo, Norway's capital, had surprised me with its small size, green suburbs and quiet atmosphere, I hadn't expected much from a CrossFit box 500km to its north in a random town called, Trondheim, especially given that the only reason I was there was to visit an amazing friend.
I better straighten out my misconceptions quickly. For starters, Trondheim is beautiful. It has bars, restaurants and quirky streets hugging the long arm of one of Norway's 1,190 fjords. Secondly, this is no sleepy hollow; but a city bursting with students and many tourists. And thirdly, the CrossFit box up that way is totally legit.
Review: CrossFit Twente. Holland
When the owner of a gym looks around himself with pride, and says that he's standing there as a result of a hobby that got out of control, you can be sure of a few things – he's going to be a passionate coach, the gym will have a good vibe, and he'll do all he can for his athletes.
Jan, the energetic but "mature" owner of CrossFit Twente, still holds down his normal day job and started out as a rowing coach. When he discovered and began to dabble in CrossFit, his strength and fitness gains spoke for themselves. He noticed that this new sport helped to reduce injuries and improve weaknesses, and so decided to use the training method as part of his rowers' training programme. Read the rest of this entry
7 Reasons Why CrossFit Makes You a Bad Employee
Yes, being a CrossFitter has its carryover benefits for many an employee, but at times a CrossFitter's habits can be a distraction at work. Any of these sound familiar?
1. All CrossFitters talk about is CrossFit.
Water cooler conversations are likely to be drawn out as a CrossFitter tries to impart the benefits of the sport on a colleague, or shares WOD stories with a fellow athlete.
2. CrossFitters are restless. Read the rest of this entry
10 Reasons Why CrossFit Makes You A Better Employee
As published on the Tabata Times
I was in a job interview the other day, talking through my skills and strengths, doing my best to sell myself as a hard worker who would fit into the team. After going through various questions, the interviewer suddenly says, "And I see you do CrossFit?" "Oh, yes!" I beam, with that unbridled enthusiasm common to most CrossFitters. I'd forgotten that I'd slipped in "CrossFit L1 instructor" at the top of my list of qualifications (obviously where it belongs). As it turned out, my interviewer also did CrossFit, and he proceeded to tell me (also with that unbridled enthusiasm) about how it had changed his life. Ten minutes later, I walked out with a job and having promised them that we'd all be doing lunges down the hallways by the end of my first week. Of course, I wasn't hired just because my new boss also did CrossFit, but because he knows that CrossFitters make good employees. Here's why:
1. Doing CrossFit makes you generally awesome.
Ok, that one's a joke. Kind of.
2. It helps you make connections in the office.
We've all heard the joke: "How do you know if someone does CrossFit? They'll tell you." Well, let's be honest, this is quite true – I even got it on my CV, for Pete's sake! Discovering that you have a hobby in common with someone at work, especially one as widespread and popular as CrossFit, makes it much easier to start conversations and create connections with colleagues. You'll be regarded as a better employee because you'll quickly integrate yourself in to your new team. Read the rest of this entry
An Argentine Job Interview, For a Kiwi
Jorge never asks to see my CV. Apparently it's good enough to know that I am from New Zealand and have four years' experience in the country's biggest market research company (probably a fact one shouldn't be too proud of). After only a brief chat about who I am he seems satisfied and promptly offers me an interviewee position in his call centre. He promises that I will be made supervisor should the other candidate pull out. It appears that my being recommended by a friend of a friend of my boyfriend was sufficient for me to not only be offered an interview, but also a job.
Tired of talking about his soon-to-be new employee, I find that I am about to learn some personalised facts about Argentina's history. "You see Josie, I fought in the war of the Islas Malvinas" (go around Argentina calling these the Falkland Islands and you won't be making any friends fast). Read the rest of this entry
Review: CrossFit La Forja. Sevilla, Spain.
The reality of trying to combine travel and CrossFit was starting to hit home. Getting to the gym frequently was a piece of paleo-approved cake when I was swanning around Madrid for a week and cruising Alicante for over a month. But hitting the road with a friend in tow proved to be a whole different kettle of deep-fried fish. Spontaneous travel, stays of only one night in cities and the desire to actually see the places I was visiting required some reprioritisation on my part. Was mine a CrossFit journey? No. Mine was a personal journey, which combined both CrossFit and travel. I had to push CrossFit sessions aside (shocking, I know) and went six days without seeing the inside of a box. And then I started to go crazy. It was time to find me a box.
Review: Reebok CrossFit BCN. Barcelona, Spain.
Reebok CrossFit BCN is a good example of how a box can be decked out with all the bells and whistles but, if the vital factor of good, focussed coaching is missing, the whole work out experience can be compromised.
Let's start with appearances (because the first ones count, right?) and work our way down. CrossFit BCN, a big, light, clean box right in the center of Barcelona, was the first air-conditioned box I'd been to, and thank God for that – Spain's late-July heat was a killer. Motivational phrases, CrossFit rules and the box's name bombing made for awesome wall art, although more personal touches, including a post-WOD score board, were missing. There were couches, a reception area, showers and large changing rooms. In fact, this box had all the style and trimmings of a "normal" gym, and that made a nice change. So far, all good!
My initial welcome to the gym was hurried. I must have interrupted something at the reception desk. I was directed to the bathrooms and left to my own devices. "To my own devices"…no, I don't mean that I wanted help in the bathroom, but more that I felt that I had been diverted there quickly, merely to "occupy" me. Read the rest of this entry
Review: Entreno Cruzado CrossFit. Mallorca, Spain.
There wasn't much hope of Entreno Cruzado being a decent CrossFit box. Not only was it in Spain – where people tend to choose beer, tapas and sunbathing over exercise – it's also on the paradisical island of Mallorca. Mallorca might be Ibiza's beautiful and more subdued neighbour, but the nightlife is still a huge attraction; sun-roasted, permanently-drunk 18-year-old English boys dominate the streets during summer; and locals tend to have an "island mentality". The Entreno Cruzado box was small, had started out as an unaffiliated gym and, on top of all this, day-time temperatures were reaching 30 degrees, plus humidity. My expectations were low.
On the short bus ride to the box from Palma, Mallorca's capital, I consoled myself that any work out would be better than none, and at least I'd be forced away from tapas for a while.
Forget about the deep-fried food, I was soon eating humble pie. Read the rest of this entry

Personal reflections on Plutopia
By Margaret Harris
As Physics World's reviews editor, I come across a lot of books that interest me intellectually. But with Kate Brown's book Plutopia – the subject of this month's Physics World podcast – my interest is personal, too.
Brown's book tells the story of two cities, Richland in the US and Ozersk in the former Soviet Union, that were built to house workers at the nearby Hanford and Maiak plutonium plants. Brown calls these cities "plutopias" because high wages and subsidies meant that residents enjoyed a better standard of living than their neighbours outside the secure zones. Such benefits, in turn, fostered an atmosphere of loyalty and solidarity that helped keep the plants' horrendous environmental records under wraps.
This sounded familiar to me because my childhood had a decidedly "plutopian" flavour. Although I didn't grow up in an "atomic city" like Richland or Ozersk, my father worked for a defence contractor for 39 years, and his plant's generous vacation allowance meant that we took longer holidays than most American families. We had good health insurance, too, which may have saved my life as a teenager. But after reading Plutopia and speaking to Brown for the podcast, I found myself wondering whether such benefits were a fair trade for working, as my father and thousands of others did, in a mostly windowless building that was surrounded by razor wire and contaminated with beryllium dust.
The cost of stereotypes
By Margaret Harris
When a 2012 study showed that scientists subconsciously favour male students over females when assessing their employability as early-career researchers, it generated plenty of debate – not least among women, who were, according to the study, just as likely to be biased as the men were.
Some of these discussions got rather overheated, but one cogent criticism of the study did emerge. Roughly, it was this: might the scientists' preference for men over equally well-qualified women be a rational response to the fact that, because of various barriers, women in science often need to be better than their male counterparts in order to have an equal chance of success?
The question was an awkward one, since it implied that women in science could be caught in a vicious circle, with the negative effects of bias in the workplace making it "rational" to be biased in hiring (and, in turn, making such workplace bias more likely to persist). However, a new study appears to rule out this argument by finding similar patterns of hiring bias against women even when the "job" is an arithmetical task that, on average, women and men perform equally well.

A question of responsibility
By Margaret Harris in Chicago
The first 45 minutes of Amy Smithson's talk here at the 2014 AAAS meeting were interesting but not especially controversial. Smithson, a senior fellow at the Center for Nonproliferation Studies in Washington, DC, began by speaking about her role in combating the spread of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons over the past two decades, and how this made her persona non grata for both conservative Republicans and the Clinton White House during the 1990s. After drawing parallels between Iraq in the late 1980s and Syria today, she outlined some of the tactics that "bad guys" like Saddam Hussein and Bashar al-Assad have used to circumvent international weapons treaties and delay their enforcement.
At that point, Smithson changed tack. Warning that she was about to become "the skunk at the party", Smithson turned her fire on the scientific community. Policy-makers, she observed, can't make weapons of mass destruction on their own. For that, they need scientists, and over the past 60 years, "hundreds of thousands of scientists" have obliged by working on nuclear, chemical or biological weapons.
Bad weather? Blame Santa
By Margaret Harris in Chicago
If you're fed up with floods in England, sick of snow in the US or mystified by mild temperatures in Scandinavia, blame it on Santa Claus. That's the message coming from atmospheric scientist Jennifer Francis, whose "Santa's revenge" hypothesis suggests that the weather weirdness that we're currently seeing at middle latitudes could be linked to recent warming in the Arctic.
Francis' theory begins with the polar jet stream, the high-altitude "river of air" that flows over parts of the northern hemisphere. This jet stream owes its existence to the temperature differential between the Arctic region and middle latitudes: because warm air expands, that temperature differential produces a "hill" of air with (for example) England at the top and Greenland at the bottom. The Earth's rotation means that air doesn't flow straight down this hill; instead, it curves around, producing the west–east flow seen in animations like the one in this video from the NASA Goddard Science Visualization Studio.
Burning the midnight gas
By Margaret Harris in Chicago
The environmental risks of shale-gas production are real, but the things people worry about most aren't necessarily the ones that cause the most damage. That was the message of this morning's AAAS symposium on "Hydraulic Fracturing: Science, Technology, Myths and Challenges", which featured talks on the social implications of hydraulic fracturing as well as the risks of water and air contamination.
Hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking", involves drilling a well and filling it with a high-pressure mixture of water and other chemicals. These high pressures cause nearby rock formations to fracture, releasing trapped oil and gas. According to the first speaker, energy consultant David Alleman, fracking and horizontal drilling have "revolutionized the energy picture in the US": a few years ago, the country imported 60% of the oil it consumed, but today the figure is just 30%.
Cold city, hot science
By Margaret Harris in Chicago
It's ice cold outside (–16 °C the last time I checked), but Chicago is still a hot ticket for scientists this week as the capital of the American Midwest prepares to host the 2014 meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).
As usual, there are plenty of fascinating talks planned for the meeting, which runs from today through Monday. Looking through the schedule just now, I'm pretty sure I could fill all five days with seminars on scientific entrepreneurship, policy and communication – although if I did, I'd miss out on some great physics topics such as dark-matter detection, quantum cryptography and next-generation materials for batteries. Which would be a shame.
I'll be posting regular updates throughout the conference here on the physicsworld.com blog, and I'll also be live-tweeting a few of the talks (only the really interesting ones, I promise) as @DrMLHarris on Twitter. So check back soon for more on the 2014 AAAS meeting.
100 leading British scientists
By Margaret Harris
Earlier this week, the UK's Science Council – an umbrella group for learned societies and professional bodies – published a list of the country's 100 leading practising scientists. The rationale behind the list is interesting: according to the Council's press release, it's meant to "highlight a collective blind spot" in our attitudes towards scientists, which tend to "reference dead people or to regard only academics and researchers as scientists".
I gave a quiet cheer when I read this. As I've noted before, fully 96% of the UK's science PhD graduates make their careers in something other than academic research, yet their contributions often go unrecognized. There are many reasons for this, including commercial confidentiality and poor visibility (almost every academic scientist has their own webpage; most industry scientists don't) along with the aforementioned "blind spot". But whatever the reasons, a list honouring non-academic scientists seems long overdue.
Unfortunately, I'm not sure the Science Council's list fits that description.

Lateral Thoughts: some things never change
By Margaret Harris
This is the second in a series of blog posts about "Lateral Thoughts", Physics World's long-running humour column. You can read the first one here.
The Lateral Thoughts column of humorous, off-beat or otherwise "lateral" essays has been part of Physics World ever since the magazine was launched in October 1988. In my previous post about the column's history, I described some ways that Lateral Thoughts have changed since the early days (tl;dr version: loads of sexism, side order of class conflict). But in my trawl through the archive, I've also discovered that some things haven't changed very much at all over the past quarter-century.
Lateral Thoughts: a foreign country
By Margaret Harris
"The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there."
I've been re-learning this lesson recently thanks to "Lateral Thoughts", the column of humorous, off-beat or otherwise "lateral" essays that appears on the back page of Physics World each month. These articles are written by our readers and they have been part of the magazine ever since it was launched in October 1988. In fact, Lateral Thoughts is the only section of Physics World that has remained unaltered in its 25-year history.
Unaltered in its format, that is. But what about the actual content of the essays? Lateral Thoughts are not normally commissioned by members of the editorial team; instead, they're selected from a pool of submissions sent in, unsolicited, by Physics World readers. Any shifts in style or subject matter should, therefore, tell us something about the way that the physics community has evolved over the years.
With this in mind, I began trawling through the archive of past Lateral Thoughts, looking for evidence of change. And boy, did I ever find it.
Quiz of the year 2013
By Margaret Harris
Physics World's light-hearted quiz about the year in physics has occupied the back page of the December print edition every year since 2004 and this year, as we did last year, we've created an interactive online version. The 2013 quiz can be found here and although there's no prize for getting a high score, you'll be able to check your results once you've completed all of the 25 questions. Each question is based on an event or story that the magazine has reported on this year.

This is a brilliant first book in a very promising series. While I will concede that some of the other reviewers do have a point re: actual quality of the writing, the sheer scope of imagination more than makes up for this (very minor) deficiency. Utilising the best ideas that have been explored elswhere, Eragon creates a fantastic world, mythology and folklore that is a treasure to behold.

Eragon is...okay. It's by no means a great book but isn't so mind-joltingly terrible that you'll be wanting to gouge your eyeballs out with a spork. If you've got absolutely nothing better to do it's a pretty decent read. I did find myself getting bored with it rather a lot, but it doesn't jump out to me and scream 'terrible book.'

A plotline that's almost identical to Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. Material that's been ripped off from Tolkien and McCaffrey. And basically the most immature writing I've ever seen in the twenty years that I've been literate. What we have here is someone's attempt to make a superhero Mary Sue like character based on himself. Kid finds a egg and gets his own pet dragon, goes off adventuring, rescues and falls for an elf maiden, joins the resistance against an evil empire, and saves the day. Can anyone name a fantasy setting where none of these things ever happened? So not only is it a total hackjob, but it's also a very boring version of what we've seen before all slapped together and published by the parents of someone who likes to boast that he's "the next J.R.R. Tolkien." Um, sorry kid, but you're not even on the same level as Tolkien's toenail fungus, even today.
