National Preparedness Month
Throughout September, CDC and more than 3000 organizations—national, regional, and local governments, as well as private and public organizations—will support emergency preparedness efforts and encourage Americans to take action. For Preparedness Month 2015, the Office of Public Health Preparedness and Response plans to focus on communities of preparedness. Each week, we will focus our messaging and products on the following unique areas:
- Week 1: Family - Disaster preparedness starts with personal preparedness for you and your family. Each family has unique needs that must be accounted for in their preparedness plans. Children, older adults, and individuals with medical conditions and physical disabilities all have unique needs during and after disasters. We will talk about incorporating unique needs into emergency preparedness to ensure that the needs of the entire family are included in preparedness plans.
- Week 2: Neighborhood - Those in closest proximity to you during an emergency are most likely to be the first to offer help. Messages will encourage individuals to meet neighbors and develop emergency preparedness plans with those who live around them--taking into account individuals' unique needs. The focus will be community resilience and preparedness on a neighborhood and community level.
- Week 3: Workplace and School - Whether you are at work or home or your child is in school it is important for individuals to know specific threats and hazards in their area, emergency signals, evacuation routes, and locations of shelters in their community. We will encourage people to maintain an emergency preparedness kit at work and discuss disaster plans with their co-workers.
- Week 4: Global - With the ease of air travel, infectious diseases can spread rapidly. Global health security is an ongoing priority that requires individuals to be aware of their health and safety when they are travelling abroad. Messages will focus on preparing for public health threats before, during, and after travel to protect everyone's health.
- Final 4 Days: Online - We will highlight the importance of sharing preparedness resources with your online social media community (social networks, apps, texting).
For each topic in September, PHPR plans to release Public Health Matters blog posts, social media messages (including a Twitter chat), and graphics. Visit CDC's National Preparedness Month webpage for links to all of our National Preparedness Month content.
- @CDCemergency will host a Twitter Chat on Wednesday, September 16 at 2pm EST on preparedness and community resilience. Use #CDCprep to join the conversation.
- Please support our Thunderclap! Thunderclap is a social media tool that allows supporters to sign up in advance to share a unified message at a specific time via their individual Facebook, Twitter, or Tumblr account. The collective action creates a wave of support – or "thunderclap" – across social media. Our thunderclap will go live on September 30 at 12PM EST and encourages individuals to meet their neighbors and start building a strong, healthy community.
Also in September, all federal agencies will come together to promote the fall PrepareAthon. The PrepareAthon is a nationwide, community-based campaign for action to increase emergency preparedness and resilience through hazard-specific drills, group discussions and national level exercises conducted each fall and spring. The month will culminate in the National Day of Action on September 30.
PrepareAthon messages will focus on specific hazards this fall: winter weather, earthquakes, hurricanes, wildfires, tornadoes, and flooding. For more information, visit www.ready.gov/prepare
Follow us on social media (@CDCemergency on Twitter and CDC Emergency Preparedness and Response on Facebook), bookmark our Public Health Matters blog, and sign up for GovDelivery email updates.
If you would like to partner with us for Preparedness Month, or would like more information, please contact us at email@example.com.
Throughout National Preparedness Month we will be working with multiple organizations across the country to promote our multiple communities of preparedness. To see a full list of our partners and their National Preparedness Month activities visit our partnership resources.

Lightroom has a not-so-obvious feature that sorts your photos in a wide range of orders. Have you used it?
Among other things, you can sort the photos you are looking at by:
- Capture Time
- Edit Order
- Rating
- File Type
- Aspect Ratio
Why would you need to sort your images? This is an invaluable feature for many photographers. Think about events where you have more than one photog, and you want the photos sorted in order of time taken. You might use it for sorting photos from weddings, vacations, parties, school dances, etc.
To sort your photos, follow these steps:
- Type G to enter the Library Grid mode (the Library View with multiple photos visible at the same time).
- Make sure the Tool bar at the bottom of your Grid is visible. If not, type T or go to the View menu.
- Choose your sorting option from the drop down menu.
- Click the A to Z button next to the drop down menu to sort from A to Z or Z to A. If you had chosen Capture Time to sort on, A to Z would order the photos from earliest to latest. Z to A is the opposite.
The settings you assign here don't change unless you change them. I keep mine on Capture Time and A to Z most of the time. I choose Z to A when I'm looking for a recent photo from my mobile phone that I've imported into Lightroom.
The displayed photos that you sort using these selections are based on the folder or collection that you are viewing. You can change this using the Folders or Collections panels from the left side of your Library module.
This is a super easy tip for Lightroom. Go ahead and look at the bottom of your Lightroom workspace now, so that you know where to sort your images when you need to.

You had me at the title of your blog 🙂 Your posts look super useful – looking forward to reading more.
Gary Says :
Thanks, this had been bugging me for some time. I always wondered why I had to change the sorting order from "capture time" to "file name" (my preferred view). I now realise I needed to have the folder (on the left-hand side) itself selected to make the change permanently, rather than just the new imported images each time…

I have to store colors in database.
How could I store a color in a best manner in the database field?, by color name or something else??
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
I have to store colors in database.
How could I store a color in a best manner in the database field?, by color name or something else??
If its for a HTML Page, storing the #RRGGBB tag as a string is probably enough.
If its for .NET , it supports building a color from its ARGB Value
so you could just store that int.
Probably the colour value would be best, e.g. #FFFFFF or #FF0000
Store a colour as a 24 or 32 bit integer, like in HTML/CSS i.e. #FF00CC but converted to an integer not a string.
Integers will take up less space then strings (especially VCHARs).
Store it as an int
Use ToArgb and FromArgb to set and get the values.
I think it depends. If you just need to store the color, then hex notation should be fine. If you need to perform queries against specific color channels, then you'd want smallint fields for each color channel (be it RGB, ARGB, CYMK, etc).
So, for simple storage, keep it simple. If you need to perform analysis, you'll need to consider alternate options as dictated by your problem domain.
The ideal storage format depends on how you plan to use the database.
The simplest solution is of course just storing everything as a 6-byte ASCII hex string of the RGB color, without support for any other format. Though you may run into issues if you later wanted to support additional formats.
For readability, flexibility, and ease of access, using a plain string is a good idea. The difference in storage space between a hex color string and a raw integer is negligible in most cases. For a speed boost you can set the color field to be indexed. And for flexibility, you could add one or more of the following features:
To optimize search and sort speed, as well as disk use, storing as an unsigned integer is the way to go. This is because a single number is faster to search through than a string of characters, can be stored internally as small as a few bits, and you can still filter by color channels in your queries using
A hybrid approach may be worth exploring. For example, consider a table of all possible 8-bit-per-channel RGB values, with fields composed of things like id, rgbhex, cssname, cmyk, hsl, hsv, lab, rgb, etc. You'd need to automate the creation of such a table since it would be so large (16777216 entries). It would add over 16 MB to your table, but the advantage to this solution is that all your color values would just be a single integer id field linked with a foreign key to the color lookup table. Fast sorts and searches, any color data you need without any conversion, and extremely extensible. You could also keep the table in its own database file to be shared by any other database or script in your application. Admittedly this solution is overkill for most cases.
I suggest having a 3 column color lookup table:
ID int; Name varchar(40) null; ColorVal char(8) or int (depending on how you're representing colors)
For unnamed colors just leave the name field null
I'd go for hexadecimal notation if the colors are limited to web colors.
So for example #0000FF for blue.
More info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_colors
What format are you looking to store the colors in? CMTK, RGB, Pantone? It kinda helps to know... the strictly #RGB hex format works great if its for web colors or an application but not so good if you're trying to mix paints.
I store it as a char(9).
To Save Color in database:
and also to retireve it from database use:
Why don't you use both? Table structure would be Int ARGB for the Key and a varchar for the Name.

"Forests and furniture" Kronobergs Län by Sjalen
Kronobergs Län Travel Guide: 162 reviews and 581 photos
I would rather have made a page about the whole province of Smĺland but since VT is split according to counties, I will slowly try to create a page for each of the three Smĺland counties. Who knows if it will be just in time for the counties to merge into one "County Smĺland" as Swedish counties are currently merging like never before due to economy. Then VT will have to change things, and so will I :-)))
County Kronoberg is the most forested county in Sweden, with more spruce (Christmas trees to those of you not into coniferous forests) than even the counties in the north of Sweden! It hasn't always been so, since spruce spread from the north, but Kronoberg has simply showed to be great for the forestry industry. A person who certainly wouldn't recognise himself today is Linneaus (Carl von Linné) - the Flower king, who categorised the world's flowers and plants. In his days there must have been more meadows than today, although even then it was a forested landscape, but still had enough flowers to capture young Linnaeus and inspire him to become a world famous botanist. So as you can see, this is a place for those of you who enjoy nature. Everywhere you go, you will find places where you can go fishing, birdwatching, rent a canoe or cycle along quiet country lanes.
The forest is also what has bought prosperity to Kronoberg these days as a place for world famous furniture from for instance Lammhult.
Because of the forests and also the rocky meadows (in stark contrast if you drive north from Skĺne), life was hard here up until modern times and nowhere is this better illustrated than in Vilhelm Moberg's "The Emigrant" triology, showing how hundreds of thousands of Swedes, many from Kronoberg, left Sweden for a better life in America. This you can see more of in the county capital Växjö, which houses and excellent research institute and museum, especially helpful if you have Swedish ancestry you want to trace.
The hardship of course made Kronoberg people industrious, and amongst the more well known entrepreneurs is Ingvar Kamprad from Älmhult, who founded IKEA there in the 50s after spending his youth selling pens and matches to local farmers. The Swedish glass making is also centred here and in neighbouring County Kalmar...
Still today, Smĺland as a whole is a bit of "Sweden's Yorkshire" as others say Smĺlanders are economic and hold on to their wallets - now you know why! This however, doesn't mean that you cannot make a bargain - on the contrary, the forests are full of clothes outlets and factory shops to rummage around in during rainy days.
8 January 2005 saw the worst storm to hit the south of Sweden for a century. County Kronoberg was one of the worst hit areas and it lost an awful lot of the forest I have mentioned above. Nevertheless, the spruce is fast growing and there are still many forests left. I have some photos of the disaster here and there on other pages.
What I wrote above should be true, but isn't all over Kronoberg anymore since it was the worst hit Swedish county in the worst storm to hit Sweden since 1921 if not ever in modern times. The 8-9 January 2005, two YEARS worth of forestry fellings fell all on its own. My aunt got trapped in our family cottage her last day there after Christmas, as the road out to the main road was cut off by fallen trees and she could only listen to the cracking around her all night whilst they also lost electricity. The day after, she woke up and wondered why it was so bright around her. Turns out we had lost ALL the spruce forest behind our house. The landscape is totally different, a new topography appears and old people who have lived in their own cottages all their life have got lost just yards from their houses as everything looks totally different!
It will take years to clear it all. Electricity companies have had to hire people from Germany, Norway and other countries and the army is everywhere with their special vehicles. As many people have died clearing up fallen trees (trapped under their root systems or hit) as died in the storm and as I type this in mid February, 4000 households still lack electricity (companies could have done more preventive work...). The last bit of the Gothenburg to Kalmar railway only opened last week, and even the main Malmö to Stockholm line didn't run for weeks past the province...
Spruce is however a fast growing tree (hence it is used in forestry here although its roots are far too shallow to stand storms and leafy trees would be much better) but it will still take time for it all to grow back. The logging companies have no time to deal with it all and some foresters have committed suicide since they've lost everything they'd give to their children.
These days, tourists from all over nothern Europe come to look at kilometre of kilometre of timber piles as the most famous ones outside Varnamo and Ljungby. I personally, have to make to with this "little" pile outside our house for some months!
- Pros:peaceful, forests full of elks and mushrooms, countryside shopping
- Cons:crap public transport, a bit dark with all that spruce
- In a nutshell:All them red houses you've been looking for!

Reviews for Bess The Book Bus Inc
Bess the Book Bus came to our town and had event at the Boys and Girls Club--after a darling little girl got off the bus, she asked very timidly--"Can I really keep these books?" The kids were thrilled to get the books and Jennifer helping them pick out just the right book to interest them. She isprovidint such a wonder resourse to area without book mobiles or easy access for these kids to get to a library. All the children and parents are grinning from ear to ear-it's like Christmas for them! And the parents are thrilled to see their children get a book of their own. Cannot say enough great things about this organization--I just hope she continues her outreach!!!

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
My 13 year old son was given a Gift Certificate through Bess the Book Bus and Transitions for an eye exam and glasses. As a parent, you want your child to succeed and exceed in school and eye sight and literacy go hand in hand. Because of the G.C my son was able to get glasses and confidence. In return for the G.C my son wanted to volunteer with Bess The Book Bus and give back in some way for the glasses. He went out to the Transitions Golf Tournament in Tampa and volunteered. He came home a changed boy! He said to me," mom seeing those kids so excited about getting a book to read was overwhelming! I saw myself in each one of those kids, and to be able to put a smile on all those faces was the most amazing feeling I've ever had! Bess The Book Bus is way more than just a bus or a person giving books away. It's touching each and every spirit in those kids and giving them happiness that maybe they haven't had in a while." I've never seen my son so moved. He wants to volunteer as much as possible through the summer. Thank You Bess for touching my life and my son's life in a way that neither of us had experienced!

Knowledge Base
The VMware Knowledge Base provides support solutions, error messages and troubleshooting guides
VMware vCenter Server IP address change causes VMware ESX hosts to disconnect (1001493)
After changing the IP of vCenter Server, all ESXi/ESX hosts are showing as disconnected from VMware Infrastructure/vSphere Client.
The ESXi/ESX hosts disconnect because they store the IP address of the vCenter Server in configuration files on each of the individual servers. This incorrect address continues to be used for heartbeat packets to vCenter Server.
There are two methods to get the ESXi/ESX hosts connected again. Try each one in the order specified, testing your results each time.
Before performing either method, ensure that the Managed IP Address of the vCenter Server is updated to reflect the new IP address being used. For more information, see Verifying the vCenter Server Managed IP Address (1008030).
Method 1
- Log in as root to the ESXi/ESX host with an SSH client. For more information, see Using Tech Support Mode in ESXi 4.1 and ESXi 5.x (1017910).
- Open the
/etc/opt/vmware/vpxa/vpxa.cfgfile using a text editor and change the
serverIpparameter to the new IP of the vCenter Server.
ESXi 5.x/6.0: The
vpxa.cfgfile is located at
- Save your changes and exit.
- Restart the management agents on the ESXi/ESX. For more information, see Restarting the Management agents on an ESX Server (1003490).
- Restart the VMware VirtualCenter Server service. For more information, see Stopping, starting, or restarting the vCenter Server service (1003895).
Method 2
- From the vSphere Client, right-click the ESXi/ESX host and click Disconnect.
- From the vSphere Client, right-click the ESXi/ESX host and click Reconnect. If the IP is still not correct, go to step 3.
- From the vSphere Client, right-click the ESXi/ESX host and click Remove.
Caution: After removing the host from vCenter Server, all the performance data for the virtual machines and the performance data for the host is lost.
- Reinstall the VMware vCenter Server agent. For more information, see Verifying and reinstalling the correct version of VMware VirtualCenter Server agent (1003714).
- Click New > Add Host.
- Enter the information used for connecting to the host.

Ok, I'm missing something obvious here, but here goes:
I created a user with Devise
I created a
user_goals model with four goals
I created a
user_goal_id field in the users table.
In my user registration form I want to present a
collection_select of the four possible goals, and put the id of the selected goal into the users table when the user is created.
I can't figure out how to do this. Specifically, I can't figure out how to write the
user_goals selected id to the
user_goal_id field in the users table.
Do I need to create a user_goals controller, or can I just put the controller logic in the users_controller?

Sheryl Crow is back in the dating scene – and calls it "terrifying."
In an interview with CNN's Larry King, to air Aug. 23, Crow, 44, says she has found someone she likes, admitting, "It is good news, you know."
The singer, who split with fianc Lance Armstrong in February, is keeping mum about her love life. But a source confirms to PEOPLE that she is seeing an L.A.-based film director.
"They've been dating for a few months now," the source says. "But it's not serious. They are taking it very slowly." As for how the couple met, "It was a setup by her friend Courteney Cox," says the source.
Asked by King if she wants to be married, Crow answered: "Yeah, I would love to be married. I love the idea of it. My parents have been married 51 years and they're great people and happy and they enjoy each other, so ideally, yes, I would love to be married."
Crow also said she'd love to have children. Asked whether she'd adopt, she said, "Absolutely. Obviously, scientifically I'm getting older (but) I don't feel my age. If I were to adopt, I could love a child that came through somebody else's womb as easily as I could my own."
On how a potential boyfriend could meet her, Crow said, "Well, I go to the grocery store like everybody else."

"A place of wonder" Top 5 Page for this destination Etosha National Park by magor65
Etosha National Park Travel Guide: 179 reviews and 514 photos
Visiting Africa for the first time and not going on a safari? Of course it was out of question for me. So I included Etosha as one of the 'must see' places in my very first plans. But I had never expected it to be so captivating and engaging as it was. Seeing animals in their natural habitat was for sure one of the highlights of my stay in Africa. Although I haven't seen all of the BIG FIVE ( for those who are not familiar - big five includes a lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard and black rhino) it was a truly enchanting experience. We stayed there two full days - I wish it had been longer.
- In a nutshell:An absolutely amazing experience

To the Editor Dr Ogden and colleagues1 concluded that there have been no significant changes in the prevalence of obesity over the past decade. The authors also reported that the prevalence of obesity in children ages 2 through 5 years declined significantly. However, the data on the prevalence of obesity in this age group were unstable (13.9% in 2003-2004, 10.7% in 2005-2006, 10.1% in 2007-2008, 12.1% in 2009-2010, and 8.4% in 2011-2012, from Table 6 in the article).

Boliden Second-Quarter Profit Rises; Ramps Up Aitik Output
Boliden AB, a Swedish copper and zinc producer, said it raised second-quarter profit 6.5 percent on higher prices, while ramping up output at its largest mine.
Net income grew to 803 million kronor ($123 million) from 754 million kronor a year earlier, the Stockholm-based company said today in a statement. That missed the 899 million-kronor average estimate of nine analysts surveyed by Bloomberg. Sales advanced 11 percent to 9.89 billion kronor.
Boliden achieved a 32 million-metric-ton annual output rate at its Aitik mine in the second quarter, Chief Executive Officer Lennart Evrell said on a conference call. The company has solved issues with crushers at the mine, its biggest, and is set to achieve a 36 million ton capacity by 2014, he said.
Boliden also benefited from a recovery in demand for metals and higher prices. Copper averaged $9,137 a metric ton in the quarter on the London Metal Exchange, up 30 percent from a year earlier, it said. Zinc prices rose 12 percent to $2,250 a ton.
The company gained 4.5 percent to 113 kronor by the 5:30 p.m. close of trade in Stockholm, reversing an initial decline of as much as 4.4 percent.

I'm a huge Broadway fan, but not a big TV fan. I go twice a year to NYC and try and see everything that might win a Tony. I thought I wouldn't like this show because simply, I thought it would be lame. But a director friend of mine recommended it to me and told me to read the NY Times review of it. I did both and now I'm hooked. I find the story line a bit too Dallas for my liking but the cast is awesome and totally full of A-listers. Lots of appearances by Tony award-winning actors. Great talent everywhere. The musical numbers are authentic. And the behind the scenes drama feels real-ish. No homophobia, real producers, ideas based on fact - what's not to like?! I don't think the show is perfect but I want to give it my support. I appreciate singing with believable lip synching and that the actors in the show can actually sing and dance! More! More! More!

My program requires several floats to be set to a default number when the program launches. As the program runs these integers will be set to their true values. These true values however can be any real number. My program will be consistently be checking these numbers to see if their value has been changed from the default.
For example lets say I have integers A,B,C. All these integers will be set to a default value at the start (lets say -1). Then as the program progresses, lets say A and B are set to 3 and 2 respectfully. Since C is still at the default value, the program can conclude than C hasn't been assigned a non-default value yet.
The problem arises when trying to find a unique default value. Since the values of the numbers can be set to anything, if the value its set to is identical to the default value, my program won't know if a float still has the default value or its true value is just identical to the default value.
I considered NULL as a default value, but NULL is equal to 0 in C++, leading to the same problem!
I could create a whole object consisting of an bool and a float as members, where the bool indicates whether the float has been assigned its own value yet or not. This however seems like an overkill. Is there a default value I can set my floats to such that the value isn't identical to any other value? (Examples include infinity or i)
I am asking for C/C++ solutions.

COLLEGE STATION, TX -- Friday night will be a historic evening for the College Station Cougars as they play their first football game at Cougar Stadium against Waco Reicher.
Steve Huff and Cougars opened up the season last week on the road and suffered a 35-8 loss to Schulenburg.
Turnovers was the biggest problem, but Huff liked the effort his young team demonstrated against the Shorthorns.
Obviously there is lots of excitement surrounding the program this week leading up to the home opener on Friday.
"It's a big time at College Station High School," said campus athletic coordinator and head football coach Steve Huff. "The kids are excited about it. We had a meet the Cougar night on Monday and will have a pep rally on Friday. We have a lot of first right now, but we're really looking forward to it."
Kickoff is set for 7:30 at Cougar Stadium in College Station.
News 3 Sports will be live during our 6pm newscast on Friday to talk more with coach Huff about the first home game for the Cougars and have highlights on Taco Bell's Friday Football Fever which kicks off at 11:35 on the regions news leader KBTX News 3.

Released: Sep 01st, 2004
Running Time: 110
Director: Jackson Rubio
Company: Blue Pictures
Distribution Companies: Caballero
Cast: Paulo (I), Catiane, Ryan (IV), Rocco Brazil, Matisen, Brunno, Gina Jolie, Gabriella (I), Ken Rios, Leticia, Jemes Bom, Dana (I)
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Gay Specialty
A slick still gallery with some great shots accompanies a strong bisexual release featuring attractive performers touching each other with sincerity, sometimes within some creative scenarios. Especially nice are scenes showing wholesomely and youthfully fit friends meeting and sharing fresh fruit along a hiking path, two slim studs sliding out of a swimming pool in order to pull an anal train on a nicely dressed lady friend, and two decidedly adult businessmen in suits formalizing a professional agreement by having a perfectly civilized bisexual threesome with an attractive female companion. The range of performers' ages gives this release a wider and more convincing picture of human bisexuality. Plus, it's just hot.

I went to Camelback resort on Monday, March 16, 2009. It was my first trip to CB and I was impressed with the snow coverage this late in the year. The conditions were perfect corn/spring conditions which is what I was hoping for. They only had two lifts running on the main hill, plus the beginner lift. But that didn't matter because there were no lift lines and all trails are accessible by the two lifts. Those two lifts are high-speed quads so that made it even better because you could make more runs in less time. I was actually wore out at the end of my four-hour session because I think I took more runs than I do normally on a six-hour day at Seven Springs. So in short, the good about this place is the lifts and the snow coverage being open 100% this late in the season. Another good thing was the $39 lift ticket. I felt that was very reasonable with the entire resort still open.
The bad would have to be the food. I ate in the Coconut Cafe (I think that's what it was called) and it was terrible. At most resorts I get the Chicken Finger & Fries basket. I except to pay about $6.00-$8.00 for that combo, so the price at $7.50 was on the higher end, but still not out of touch with other resorts (out of touch with reality of what it's worth...maybe -lol). But the problem was it was for three burnt and dried out chicken finger and some soggy fries. I was very disappointed. Then to top it off they didn't have ketchup! I had to find a bottle sitting on someones table and ask them to use it.
One other bad thing, and maybe this is a bit on the nit-picky side...but the high speed lift on the left as you look at the resort from the bottom of the hill is very bumpy when you go over pole supports.
Something I'm not sure about is the "Terrain Park Pass." I saw on the website that you need to watch a video, fill out a waiver and pay an extra $5 to be allowed in the terrain parks. I'm not sure if that is just for the weekends or what, but I was not presented with the $5 option when I bought my lift ticket. I saw a sign at the entrance of the park saying you'd be kicked out if you didn't have a park pass, but no one there to stop you. Beyond the confusion about the extra $5. I would say I see the concept or the idea behind doing that, but if they're going to charge extra I think they need to have a nicer park. The two jumps I was continually hitting (the second two jumps in the large park area) were designed wrong; the lips threw your nose in the air instead of allowing you to float smoothly off the lip. If I were forced to pay extra and take the time to watch a video, I would have been disappointed. But, to keep the park less crowed or with less "I don't belong here" riders, I see the concept.
Overall I would go back and I would recommend this place to a friend. Especially if I'm thinking of a late season outing when some other resorts have packed it up for the season or are only open on weekends.

Health & Parenting
Couch Potatoes May Start as Tater Tots
Jan. 15, 2004 -- The couch potato lifestyle now associated with scores of diseases may begin with being a tater tot. A new study shows sedentary habits that boost the risk of obesity can be apparent in children as young as age 3.
After randomly recruiting 78 children, Scottish researchers noted that these 3 year olds typically spent only about 20 minutes a day in light or moderate activity -- only one-third the time recommended in the United Kingdom for kids that age. When they were re-evaluated at age 5, their activity patterns barely improved.
"There is a widespread perception among parents and health and education professionals that young children are spontaneously active," says researcher John J. Reilly, PhD, of the University of Glasgow. "We have provided objective evidence that present recommendations for physical activity are not being met by many young children."
More importantly, when Reilly and his colleagues measured the kids' energy expenditure, they found that these kids burned off 200 calories a day less than what is recommended. That means that unless they eat that much less in food, they're more likely to join the ever-expanding ranks of the obese years before their time.
As a general rule, people gain one pound for every 3,500 calories consumed that they don't burn off. Conversely, we lose about a pound for each 3,500 calories lost in exercise or other activity. "Weight gain could occur from as little as 20 to 50 calories a day ingested in excess of energy expanded," write the researchers in this week's issue of The Lancet.
While this doesn't show that all preschoolers are en route to obesity, it does offer an explanation as to why childhood obesity is on the increase in U.K., as it is in the U.S.
That's why this study has important implications, says James Hill, PhD, of the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, who wasn't involved in Reilly's study but wrote an accompanying editorial to it.
"As people get older, they become less active. It's very unlikely that sedentary children will become active adults," Hill tells WebMD. "When kids start off at a lower level of physical activity, it's probably going to only further decline over their lifetime. From everything we know, this study suggests that these kids will be sedentary adults."

COLLECTOR'S CHEMTRAIL 4-DVD SET $30Great set of DVDs to presentto skeptics!Order here
 A contrail is a contrail is a contrail ...
CONTRAILS typically form behind high-flying jets in a low-humidity environment. Cold, dry conditions -- exactly those found in the upper atmosphere -- are prerequisites to contrail formation. The humidity level of the upper atmosphere is LOW, which is the reason clouds form in the troposphere -- the lower portion of our atmosphere. Jet contrails, which occur at high altitudes (e.g., 40,000 feet) disappear quickly -- much like your breath on a cold winter day. They are simply made of water vapor. (Why do contrails disappear? They evaporate in the dryness, helped along by solar radiation.)
Clouds need moisture to form
Now, boys and girls, CLOUDS need two elements in order to form -- particles and moisture. They require condensation nuclei (small particulates) for water vapor to adhere to. The size of these nuclei is about seven microns (picture a red blood cell). Clouds also need conditions of about 70% humidity before they amass at various levels of our troposphere. Clouds hang around for a long time, and come in basic varieties: cirrus (high altitude, feathery looking), cumulus (puffy and fat, with noticeable vertical dimension), and stratus (low-hanging ... those sheets of gray that create an overcast day).
The lesson: Clouds and contrails require opposite conditions to form! Don't forget this.
Today's news: We don't get to see a lot of natural clouds any more! ... So, what DO we see up there in the sky?
All over the world today, we are seeing "clouds" formed by "contrails" left by high-flying jet planes. For some reason, as of 1998 or so, the white lines behind jets stopped going away. (This would be like your breath staying in the air for hours on a winter day, forming big swaths of whiteness all around you as you walked.) For some reason, after 1998, there were SO MANY jets leaving white trails in the sky that lasted all day, making THE WHOLE SKY OVERCAST, that NASA decided we now had a phenomenon called "persistent jet contrails." But they cannot explain why they are persistent ...
REMEMBER THE RULES: Clouds need 70% moisture to form. Contrails need low humidity (moisture) to form.
Oddly enough ...Somehow, "contrails" are now forming in high humidity -- all over New Jersey, the humid Midwest, tropical Florida, the sticky South ... dozens and dozens of contrails ... every day! In fact, so many contrails form that they create grids in the sky that baffle people standing on the ground below. It\'s like an air show!
What happens after the "air show"? People who are not spending their time shopping and dialing on their cell phones have noticed this:
The "contrails" continue to enlarge, swallowing the sky! Places like Phoenix, Arizona (in the middle of the desert) are completely overcast by the end of each day. Now, we learned that clouds need humidity to form, and the desert typically HAS NO HUMIDITY, so how do clouds form in the desert day after day?As top-notch researcher Clifford Carnicom notes, "If "contrails" by appearance transform into "clouds," it can be concluded that the material of composition is not water vapor." What this means: If what looks like a contrail then becomes a cloud, it isn\'t made of water vapor.Let's review: We now have "contrails" forming in very humid conditions and clouds forming in very dry conditions ... What could that possibly mean? Nature isn't doing what it's supposed to. (Hmmm ... oh, of course! It's global warming, for sure. Everything has changed because of global warming. In fact, take a look at the third article on our Global Warming page. Global warming can now be blamed for EVERYTHING!)If you enjoy math and science, read this post by Carnicom and this one. If you want the simple translation, there is no such thing as a persistent contrail. (Visualize "persistent breath.") If what comes out of a plane is staying in the air and filling up the sky, it's not water-based. The "clouds" shown in the three pictures above are not clouds. They are compositions of something else. Why are airplanes crisscrossing the sky over populated areas, leaving this material?Start looking. Take a few photos. Watch the trails over time. Ask your friends if they see them. Teach another person to look with different eyes.
 A little matter of ... VISIBILITYIn 1997, the FAA standard for "good visibility" dropped from 40+ miles down to 10 miles. Question #1: Why?
Question #2: Isn't it a big deal that we can't see more than 10 miles? There has been no explanation for why the FAA standard suddenly changed. Read Clifford Carnicom's paper on the visibility standard here.
FACTS ABOUT VISIBILITY: Visibility diminishes because of lack of light (e.g., you can\'t see in the dark) or because there's something between your eyes and what you're looking at. Particulate content (i.e., stuff in the air) lowers visibility. If you used to be able to see a mountain 20 miles away in years past and you can no longer see it today, it's because the air is occluded with something -- "pollution" is what most people like to call it. Some use the word "haze." The hard reality of diminished visibility due to particulate content is that it goes along with a rise in mortality. Simply put, if you can't see because the air isn't clear, you're breathing what's in the air. At the most elementary physical/mechanical level -- just breathing particulates of a certain size will have a damaging effect on human life. This is data based. See graph here.So, no matter what's in the air that's making us unable to see (whether it's suspicious aerosols or dust or WHATEVER), it's compromising our health. An increased particulate count means increased mortality. Tell that to the weatherman -- and ask him what's in the air!Read this meteorologist's reply to a citizen asking for an explanation.
See the particle storm for yourself ...
Needed: An 18-inch UV tubular blacklight and a little courage. From one tester: "You are looking for tiny filaments ... they glow bright blue. You may be astonished to find them ALL OVER -- your skin, your rug, your mirrors (they seem 'attracted' to mirrors!) They're in the air, swirling and floating on the slightest currents. Check your hair -- it can host hundreds! Your clothes glow like galaxies of miniature stars. Dust on every flat surface of your home can be filled with them."

Chump Change (Paperback)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
A blackout brought on by a Mad Dog binge that ended with a self-inflicted steak knife wound bought Bruno Dante another stint in the nuthouse, no different from all the rest. Now it's done, and his wife, Agnes taking time off from her personal-trainer lover has come to pick Bruno up and to deliver a message from the West Coast: his screenwriter father is in the hospital in a coma and is not expected to live. So Bruno heads back to Los Angeles for a fraught family reunion, where the tension and stress force him to dull the pain the only way he knows how with alcohol. And when he wakes up naked in a stolen car with an underage hooker whose pimp has stolen his wallet, Bruno realizes the trip has just begun.

Game 3 Recap: Cubs 11, Astros 6
W - Ted Lilly (1-0)
L - Brian Moehler (0-1)
In the spirit of Passover, we begin tonight's recap by asking, why is this night different from all other nights?
The answer:
Tonight the Cubs sent nine men to the plate in each of the first two innings, building a lead so large, it allowed Ted Lilly to throw his own personal game of Home Run Derby and still win his first game of the season.
Details after the jump.
The Good:
- The hits just kept on coming—Fukudome had four safeties (including a 2B and HR); Ramirez had four (including a 2B); and Soriano, Fontenot, and Theriot had two each
- Did I mention that Kosuke "First Pitch" Fukudome had four hits? The first three all resulted from first-pitch swings, an interesting shift in approach from a guy who ranked second in the NL last season in pitches seen per plate appearance (4.29)
- Anthony Michael Hall lookalike David Patton made his Major League debut and after serving up a home run ball to Hunter Pence, the 23-year-old Patton mowed down six Astros in a row, including Lance Berkman on a three-pitch strikeout that featured a 95 mph fastball, an 82-mph breaking ball, and an 85-mph curveball for the kill
- Still looking for his first Cub hit, Milton Bradley nonetheless managed to reach base four times, via 3 walks and an HBP
- Carlos Marmol and Angel Guzman each delivered another strong inning in relief
The Bad:
- Lilly gave up 4 HR in just 5 IP; this spring he gave up 5 HR in just 11 IP. Yes, the wind was howling to centerfield tonight and Arizona has thin air, but that's a damn lot of home runs
- Derrek Lee went 1-for-6 with three strikeouts
- Alfonso Soriano got thrown out at first on a play in which Miguel Tejada double-clutched not once, but twice (four clutches total); somebody's wheels just aren't what they used to be
- The Cubs will not get to hit against Brian Moehler and Russ Ortiz every night for the rest of the season
Completely Off-Topic
Any chance anyone has decent tickets for the April 19th Sunday night game against the Cardinals? I am profoundly sorry if I am violating protocol, but I have come up with bupkus in all my other attempts to get tix.
It will be part of my Honeymoon, and I am hoping to secure some tickets before I get to Chicago.
Thanks for tolerating this post.
Re: Completely Off-Topic
Don't have tix for you but others have posted requests before, so it shouldn't be any problem for you to ask.
Re: Game 3 Recap: Cubs 11, Astros 6
Milton Bradley is going for the Guiness Book of World Records for most runs scored by a guy with a .000 batting average.
Re: Game 3 Recap: Cubs 11, Astros 6
"Lilly gave up 4 HR in just 5 IP; this spring he gave up 5 HR in just 11 IP. Yes, the wind was howling to centerfield tonight and Arizona has thin air, but that's a damn lot of home runs"
Did Houston move to Arizona and I missed it? :D
Re: Game 3 Recap: Cubs 11, Astros 6
(He's talking about Spring Training games as well as last night's game in Houston.)
Re: Game 3 Recap: Cubs 11, Astros 6
I did.
He had nothing except it might be a trip to the dl or day to day. He said the Cubs can survive Hill for awhile and it's still early.
Looking at the picture of Milo, I want to punch him in his face.
Re: Game 3 Recap: Cubs 11, Astros 6
It is early and the division is weak and the Cubs have good offensive support around him, but hope we don't have to live with Hill for very long. I think by the end of the year, we will be hoping for the days of having a backup catcher as "good" as Paul Bako. I hope the Cubs are cautious with Soto and maybe sit him out the 3 games in MIL this weekend, but just don't make this a thing where he is out for a month due to pushing him.
Re: Game 3 Recap: Cubs 11, Astros 6
hill will be lucky to get 200-250ab. if that hurts the team in any way hill would have to run into an unreal stretch of bad luck.
and what can bako do that hill cant...maybe hit a couple more homers or a few more doubles?
Re: Game 3 Recap: Cubs 11, Astros 6

Re: Game 3 Recap: Cubs 11, Astros 6
Man, as much of a cockgobbler as he is, I just can't even imagine myself punching a frail old man in the face. He looks like he would just shatter like he was frozen in liquid nitrogen or something.
Re: Game 3 Recap: Cubs 11, Astros 6
I have 4 for 4/19, upper deck box. I'm going Saturday. Let me know!
Re: Game 3 Recap: Cubs 11, Astros 6
I wish mlb.tv would get the kinks out. I only caught the last half of the game last night and wanted to catch the highlights from the first part, but the links to the archived game and the video highlights bring you to nothing. I opened gameday and tried to watch the video highlights in that and the only one they have is, get this, Pence's home run. Just dumb.
Re: Game 3 Recap: Cubs 11, Astros 6
It's pretty tough to deliver archived games, condensed games, and highlights when whole innings are missing from the video streams. I wonder how much of these problems are due to lack of cooperation from Microsoft. MLB.com switched their media streaming contract from Silverlight to Flash and now I understand both sides are in court.
Re: Game 3 Recap: Cubs 11, Astros 6
3 seasons in a row it has been that way. First 2 weeks or so they work the new stuff in, with all the new subscribers jamming the servers as well. I had a 85% good view last night. I figured the requirements would be higher so I bought a new computer to watch the games, and the picture quality is already 100% better/bigger than last year. But the jumping at times and freezing, just have to be patient while the nerd herd works on it since this is the first year almost everything is available high def. Len and Bob were good!
Normally I'm blacked out from all Astros games (doesn't bother me unless they play the Cubs) but for some reason they let me watch. Also surprised they didn't raise the price of MLB TV. All in all, a good deal since I get to watch our division opponents as well and "scout."
Re: Game 3 Recap: Cubs 11, Astros 6
I am using a 6 yr old laptop, and was able to follow the Cards/Pirates game while in Parachat with no problems. Are those of you having trouble watching multiple games?
Re: Game 3 Recap: Cubs 11, Astros 6
I have been completely fine in games so far. I have a fast internet connection and new laptop. I've also been able to select the away feed for games even though I haven't paid for premium. My only problems are the day after the games, I can't access any highlights or archived games on the website.
Re: Game 3 Recap: Cubs 11, Astros 6
If I remember correctly, MLB.com is run by a former Golden Gopher...no BADgers are going to get a good mlb.tv experience (insert villainous laughter)
Re: Game 3 Recap: Cubs 11, Astros 6
most cable/sat providers are running the free MLB package this week so if you can't get online to watch there you go.
Re: Game 3 Recap: Cubs 11, Astros 6
Loved the pop off Aramis' bat. Loved seeing Fukudome being aggressive in his zone, patient outside it. Loved Bradley contributing despite not getting a hit.
Re: Game 3 Recap: Cubs 11, Astros 6
Boy - lots of new faces coming here. Wondering if the rainbows and roses at Al's site is just too much to take? Oh, and the constant chatter of non-baseball-related crap.
Re: Game 3 Recap: Cubs 11, Astros 6
Not sure if I'm among the perceived new faces, but I've been lurking these parts since before MVP, John Hill, Alec and the all-baseball days. Back when Ruz got excited about baseball again.
Anyway, I like to only chime in when I can improve on the current conversation. Though I'm not usually successful at that. : )
I think I'm just a little excited as I've started paying for my television service for the first time in many years. So I can actually see all the games now. Crazy. I'll miss the radio guys, but I can't deny my enthusiasm.
Re: Game 3 Recap: Cubs 11, Astros 6
Sad news the Angels SP Nick Adenhart was killed in a car crash hours after he pitched.
Angels Pitcher Killed After Game
Nick Adenhart killed in car crash after game.
He was 22.
Re: Angels Pitcher Killed After Game
This is truly sad...
Re: Angels Pitcher Killed After Game
Utter fucking waste. What a downer.
Re: Angels Pitcher Killed After Game
There were two other people in the car with Adenhart that are also dead. I hope for the sake of the Angels it's no one else associated with the team.
Who else would he be hanging out with after a game, though? How many people can he know in Orange County in his very short time there?
Fingers crossed.
Very, very sad news for the Angels and the Adenhart family.
Re: Angels Pitcher Killed After Game
This article has a picture of the car, completely fucked up.
And not surprising, fucking drunk driver who was driving with a suspended license for driving drunk before.
Re: Angels Pitcher Killed After Game
what the hell...oh man.
dude was a 14th round pick who OMG'd his way up the system. this spring he showed enough command over his stuff to break with the team as a starter...the 2 injuries helped a bit, too.
just wow...
Re: Game 3 Recap: Cubs 11, Astros 6
is harden actually starting tomorrow? I thought they were going to wait a while
At this rate...
On pace for...
Theriot - .615 BA
Bradley - 0 hits, 216 BB
Ramirez - 270 RBI
Soriano - 108 HR, 108 RBI
Lilly - 32 - 0, 9.00 ERA, 130 HR
Re: At this rate...
Re: Game 3 Recap: Cubs 11, Astros 6
It seemed to me that Moehler actually had decent stuff, at least in the first inning.
Silverlight is a hideous technology.
Recent comments
Some perspective (mostly for my own benefit): Dan Straily beat MadBum 2-1 today as the Reds took 2 of 3 in SF. Giants are 2-9 since the break and their lead over LA is down to 2.5 games. So, yeah...baseball. It'll drive ya nuts.
McNutt / Archer didn't work out well for us.
The floor is more valuable than the ceiling. It's the same reason we drafted Kris Bryant instead of Jon Gray.
Apparently the Yankees had the choice of either Gleyber Torres or Eloy Jimenez in the Chapman deal, and they chose Torres.
Chapman shouldn't be reserved anymore on 40 man.
Interesting split on Heyward according to ESPN. As a CF, his slash line .292/.363/.375/.738. At RF: .212/.204/.300/.604. 21/72 as a CF, 58/273 as a RF.
He's also been better when batting 2nd, but he had a nice start in the 6 hole, but has slumped ever since. He was heating up before the All Star break, but is only hitting .108 in the 2nd half.
When we played the Reds with Chapman, I always thought of it as an eight-inning game. So now other teams have eight innings to try to get a lead against the Cubs. Should be a challenge, assuming three or four Cubs ever start hitting again.
I don't really try to get to know and like these players personally. I'm rooting for laundry, for the most part. Exceptions might be when a player makes trouble in the clubhouse or in the dugout. (Zambrano and Bradley come to mind. Also Papelbon.) But I don't think Chapman is one of those jerks.
Unfortunately, a pretty good summary. It looks like next year Heyward will be getting yet another batting stance adjustment.
The recent good news has been Baez. I'm afraid about the next league adjustment on him, though, which is probably right around the corner.
Bryant I don't worry about too much. Just not seeing the ball well right now. He'll turn it around. Russell's been good with men in scoring position all year and he's 22ish. He'll be fine but next year is likely to be his breakout year.
If Travis' back-to-back-to-back walks cost Hendricks the ERA title, that would really suck.
Edit: "A lifeless loss to a lousy Sox team."
This place is a real downer after a loss to the Sox.
I expect they will go 5-9 games above .500 the rest of the year. 96-98 wins will win the Division.
They should have one more 2-3 week hot streak in them.
However, several players are just "average" for the last month: Zobrist, Ross, Russell, Ceasar. Montero is terrible, plus he cannot throw anyone out. -WAR. Heyward is abysmal at the plate, but a plus in the OF. Still with RISP he has been terrible. KB has not been driving in runs as of late. But Apparently the team is still above average with RISP according to S Sahadev.
I came to that realization tonight. I kept expecting them to play better, but now I realize they aren't going to. They are a .500 team now.
- They have one reliable starting pitcher. Jake's magic is gone, and it doesn't look like it's coming back. Lester has been lousy recently. Lackey's ERA goes up every time he pitches.
- Heyward has been dead weight all year. I can't remember a single series where he was a significant offensive contributor. Not one. Great defense, but but if he were hitting .270 with 10 HR and played average defense, the Cubs would be better off.
new rule...no one's allowed to throw k.bryant a changeup
Team is .500 since early May and is playing like a .500 team. Lack of offense seems to be putting a lot of pressure on the pitchers...and they aren't handling it terribly well.
.500 the rest of the way still may win the division though.
...i hate espn.
nothing like settling into a cubs game to get a few minutes cutaway for an ortiz AB in the 6th inning of the det/bos game.
oh, at least they're doing split screen now...i guess.

Even if your everyday reality requires you to drive a 'practical,' four-door sedan, you can now own a really fun, high-performance car that meets that criterion too. Case in point, the Lexus IS-F. To paraphrase another automaker's slogan, This isn't your mother's Lexus. The IS-F is almost the antithesis of a Lexus. Yes, it has numerous technological and luxury features, but the ride and performance are more sports car than smooth-riding sedan. Other than a small rear spoiler, subtle fender flares and an air outlet behind the front wheels, the IS-F looks like a normal IS. But this is a true sleeper car. Pull up next to a Mustang or even a BMW M3, and you can shock the heck out of the driver when you pull away with a throaty roar.
Even the interior is geared toward performance. The highly bolstered, front-heated leather seats hold you tightly in place during spirited driving. The two rear seats are well bolstered to keep the cheap seat occupants in place, as well. Back seat passengers will be more comfortable if they're not too tall, as head room and leg room are what you'd expect in a small sedan. The trunk, however, is surprisingly large, with a long-object pass-through in the rear seat, even though the opening is small because of the sharp rake of the rear window.
As a Lexus, the IS-F offers all the luxury goodies you'd expect, including a sunroof, keyless entry with push-button start, carbon fiber trim, and a navigation system that doubles as a back-up camera, really useful for reversing. The audio and dual automatic climate controls are also operated through the navigation screen, but fortunately it's by touch screen, which I find easier to use than a remote scroll knob. My tech-savvy teenage son co-piloted these systems during the test drive and declared them easy and efficient.
As nice as the interior is, however, performance and handling are where this car really shines. The 416 horsepower, 5.0 liter V-8 drives the rear wheels with a nice even torque curve via an 8-speed automatic transmission with manual shift mode. Unfortunately, a true manual transmission is not offered. Even with the automatic, it can sprint from zero to 60 in 4.6 seconds. Gas mileage is 16 city, 23 highway on premium gas.
Handling is superb. Both the steering and suspension are nice and tight, which combine to deliver excellent road feel. When the optional sport mode is engaged, these attributes are enhanced even more, reaching true enthusiast levels. The car stays flat as a pancake during hard cornering. Large Brembo brakes combine with ABS, traction control and stability control to bring the IS-F back to earth and keep it pointed in the right direction.
According to Dennis Breheny, sales manager at Plaza Lexus, "The IS-F offers speed and comfort in an ultra luxury sedan. It has great handling ability, yet can be driven like a normal luxury sedan as well." The IS-F starts about $57,000 and goes for about $61,000 with options, which is competitive with cars in its class.
Another fun-to-drive sedan is the Honda Civic Si. Finally available as a four-door, the Si was one of the original 'pocket rockets' that started the import tuner craze. Wrapped in sporty, if not aggressive, styling, the Si at least has a rear spoiler to let people know it's a serious driving machine.
On the inside, well-bolstered fabric seats have Alcantara® on the side bolsters to further help hold you in place during vigorous driving. The dash is different, with a tachometer front-and-center in the gauge cluster, but the digital speedometer in a recessed panel near the coolant temp and fuel gauges. Similarly, the parking brake moves fore and aft instead of up and down. Radio and climate control switches are all straightforward and easy to use. A sunroof adds an airy feeling to the cabin, and the rear seat is unusually roomy for such a small car. The trunk is also surprisingly large, and cargo carrying capacity can be increased by folding down the rear seat.
Driving the Si is a blast. With plenty of power, especially at higher RPM, quick steering and decent brakes, this light, small car is a lot of fun to toss around. The 2.0 liter, 16 valve DOHC i-VTEC 4 cylinder engine pumps out 197 horses to the front wheels with almost no torque steer, thanks in part to a limited slip differential. Appropriately, a 6-speed manual is the only transmission offered. The clutch is light and easy to use, and the short throw shifter is a pleasure. Mileage is 21 city, 29 highway. Steering response and handling are both top notch. ABS, stability control and traction control are all nice safety features.
According to Beth Guard, Internet sales manager at Huey's Honda, "The Si offers the best of both worlds: It's fun and sporty, yet offers the practicality of a four-door sedan, which makes it great for families or singles." And all this fun and practicality is available at the very reasonable starting price of around $23,000.
Robert W. Paster is also an attorney in private practice, concentrating in estate planning and probate.

We've been noticing that on one of our development servers that the Authentication settings has been mysteriously been changing from Anonymous to Windows Authentication and the "Execute Permissions" has been changing from Scripts Only to None without anyone admitting it and having only a small number of people who have the access to do it.
Short of intentional sabotage, which I doubt, has anyone ever seen anything like this?
Could it be the automated application of a group policy?

Career counseling is non existent. I've begged for help to find a job, as well as housing (which they claim to help with)- to no avail. My children and I had to move to another location due to not having resources for employment and housing.

I have not had the opportunity to check out any of these things yet.

Genetics of Colorectal Cancer (PDQ®): Genetics - Health Professional Information [NCI] - Psychosocial Issues in Hereditary Colon Cancer Syndromes
Table 19. Studies Measuring Quality-of-Life Variables in Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP) continued...
Studies of risk-reducing surgery for FAP have found that general measures of quality of life have been within normal range, and the majority reported no negative impact on their body image. However, these studies suggest that risk-reducing surgery for FAP may have negative quality-of-life effects for at least some proportion of those affected.
Chemoprevention trials are currently under way to evaluate the effectiveness of various therapies for persons at risk of LS and FAP.[64,65] In a sample of persons diagnosed with FAP who were invited to take part in a 5-year trial to evaluate the effects of vitamins and fiber on the development of adenomatous polyps, 55% agreed to participate.[66] Participants were more likely to be younger, to have been more recently diagnosed with FAP, and to live farther from the trial center, but did not differ from nonparticipants on any other psychosocial variables.
Family communication
Family communication about genetic testing for hereditary CRC susceptibility, and specifically about the results of such testing, is complex. It is generally accepted that communication about genetic risk information within families is largely the responsibility of family members themselves. A few studies have examined communication patterns in families who had been offered LS genetic counseling and testing. Studies have focused on whether individuals disclosed information about LS genetic testing to their family members, to whom they disclosed this information, and family-based characteristics or issues that might facilitate or inhibit such communication. These studies examined communication and disclosure processes in families after notification by health care professionals about a LS predisposition and have comprised relatively small samples.
Research findings indicate that persons generally are willing to share information about the presence of a LS-predisposing mutation within their families.[67,68,69,70] Motivations for sharing genetic risk information include a desire to increase family awareness about personal risk, health promotion options and predictive genetic testing, a desire for emotional support, and a perceived moral obligation and responsibility to help others in the family.[68,69,70] Findings across studies suggest that most study participants believed that LS genetic risk information is shared openly within families; however, such communication is more likely to occur with first-degree relatives (e.g., siblings, children) than with more distant relatives.[67,68,69,70]
