Here you'll find API-like documentation about all resource plugins
available by default in
Zend_Application_Resource_Cachemanager may be
utilised to configure a set of
Zend_Cache option
bundles for use when lazy loading caches using
As the Cache Manager is a lazy loading mechanism, the options are translated to option templates used to instantiate a cache object on request.
Example #1 Sample Cachemanager resource configuration
Below is a sample INI file showing how
Zend_Cache_Manager may be configured. The format
is the Cachemanager resource prefix (resources.cachemanager)
followed be the name to assign to an option cache template or bundle (e.g.
resources.cachemanager.database) and finally followed by a
Zend_Cache option.
resources.cachemanager.database.frontend.name = Core resources.cachemanager.database.frontend.customFrontendNaming = false resources.cachemanager.database.frontend.options.lifetime = 7200 resources.cachemanager.database.frontend.options.automatic_serialization = true resources.cachemanager.database.backend.name = File resources.cachemanager.database.backend.customBackendNaming = false resources.cachemanager.database.backend.options.cache_dir = "/path/to/cache" resources.cachemanager.database.frontendBackendAutoload = false
Actually retrieving this cache from the Cache Manager is as simple as
accessing an instance of the Manager (
retrieved from
Zend_Application_Resource_Cachemanager and
calling Zend_Cache_Manager::getCache('database'). The example
below is taken from a controller where the bootstrap class can be accessed as
a Front Controller parameter (which is automatically assigned during bootstrapping).
As you can see, the Cache Manager Resource implements a
getCacheManager() method to retrieve the bootstrapped instance
$manager = $this->getFrontController() ->getParam('bootstrap') ->getPluginResource('cachemanager') ->getCacheManager(); $dbCache = $manager->getCache('database');
See Zend_Cache::factory() method to get a description of the default values you can assign when configuring a cache via a configuration file such as out example INI file above.
Zend_Application_Resource_Db will initialize a
Zend_Db adapter based on the options passed to it. By
default, it also sets the adapter as the default adapter for use with
Zend_Db_Table. If you want to use mutliple databases
simultaneously, you can use the Multidb Resource
The following configuration keys are recognized:
adapter type.
params: associative array of configuration parameters to use when retrieving the adapter instance.
isDefaultTableAdapter: whether or not to establish this adapter as the default table adapter.
defaultMetadataCache: the name of the
cache template or an instance of
Zend_Cache_Core to use as
metadata cache for
Example #2 Sample DB adapter resource configuration
Below is an example INI configuration that can be used to initialize the DB resource.
[production] resources.db.adapter = "pdo_mysql" resources.db.params.host = "localhost" resources.db.params.username = "webuser" resources.db.params.password = "XXXXXXX" resources.db.params.dbname = "test" resources.db.isDefaultTableAdapter = true ; Optionally you can also the cache template to use for metadata caching: resources.db.defaultMetadataCache = "database"
Note: Retrieving the Adapter instance
If you choose not to make the adapter instantiated with this resource the default table adapter, how do you retrieve the adapter instance?
As with any resource plugin, you can fetch the DB resource plugin from your bootstrap:$resource = $bootstrap->getPluginResource('db');
Once you have the resource object, you can fetch the DB adapter using the getDbAdapter() method:$db = $resource->getDbAdapter();
Zend_Application_Resource_Dojo can be used
to configure the
Zend_Dojo viewhelpers.
Example #3 Sample Dojo resource configuration
Below is a sample INI file showing how
Zend_Dojo can be enabled.
Zend_Dojo resource plugin utilises the options for the
Zend_Dojo_View_Helper_Dojo_Container::setOptions() to
configure the viewhelpers. Please see the Zend_Dojo
chapter for full descriptions and available options.
Probably the most common resource you will load with
Zend_Application will be the Front Controller resource,
which provides the ability to configure
Zend_Controller_Front. This resource provides the ability
to set arbitrary front controller parameters, specify plugins to
initialize, and much more.
Once initialized, the resource assigns the $frontController
property of the bootstrap to the
Available configuration keys include the following, and are case insensitive:
controllerDirectory: either a string value specifying a single controller directory, or an array of module to controller directory pairs.
moduleControllerDirectoryName: a string value indicating the subdirectory under a module that contains controllers.
moduleDirectory: directory under which modules may be found.
defaultControllerName: base name of the default controller (normally "index").
defaultAction: base name of the default action (normally "index").
defaultModule: base name of the default module (normally "default").
baseUrl: explicit base URL to the application (normally auto-detected).
plugins: array of front controller plugin class names. The resource will instantiate each class (with no constructor arguments) and then register the instance with the front controller. If you want to register a plugin with a particular stack index, you need to provide an array with two keys class and stackIndex.
params: array of key to value pairs to register with the front controller.
returnresponse: whether or not to return the response object after dispatching the front controller. Value should be a boolean; by default, this is disabled.
If an unrecognized key is provided, it is registered as a front controller parameter by passing it to setParam().
Example #4 Sample Front Controller resource configuration
Below is a sample INI snippet showing how to configure the front controller resource.
[production] resources.frontController.controllerDirectory = APPLICATION_PATH "/controllers" resources.frontController.moduleControllerDirectoryName = "actions" resources.frontController.moduleDirectory = APPLICATION_PATH "/modules" resources.frontController.defaultControllerName = "site" resources.frontController.defaultAction = "home" resources.frontController.defaultModule = "static" resources.frontController.baseUrl = "/subdir" resources.frontController.plugins.foo = "My_Plugin_Foo" resources.frontController.plugins.bar = "My_Plugin_Bar" resources.frontController.plugins.baz.class = "My_Plugin_Baz" resources.frontController.plugins.baz.stackIndex = 123 resources.frontController.returnresponse = 1 resources.frontController.env = APPLICATION_ENV ; The following proxies to: ; Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::addPath('Helper_Path', $helperPrefix); resources.frontController.actionHelperPaths.HELPER_Prefix = "My/Helper/Path"
Example #5 Retrieving the Front Controller in your bootstrap
Once your Front Controller resource has been initialized, you can fetch the Front Controller instance via the $frontController property of your bootstrap.
$bootstrap->bootstrap('frontController'); $front = $bootstrap->frontController;
Zend_Application_Resource_Layout can be used to
Zend_Layout. Configuration options are
per the
Example #6 Sample Layout configuration
Below is a sample INI snippet showing how to configure the layout resource.
resources.layout.layout = "NameOfDefaultLayout" resources.layout.layoutPath = "/path/to/layouts"
Zend_Application_Resource_Locale can be used to
set an application-wide locale which is then used in all classes and components
which work with localization or internationalization. By default the locale is
saved in a
Zend_Registry entry with key
There are basically three usecases for the Locale Resource Plugin. Each of them should be used depending on the applications need.
Without specifying any options for
Zend_Locale will detect the locale, which your application will
use, automatically.
This detection works because your client sends the wished language within his
HTTP request. Normally the clients browser sends the languages he
wants to see, and
Zend_Locale uses this information for
But there are 2 problems with this approach:
The browser could be setup to send no language
The user could have manually set a locale which does not exist
In both cases
Zend_Locale will fallback to other mechanism to
detect the locale:
When a locale has been set which does not exist,
Zend_Locale tries to downgrade this string.
When, for example, en_ZZ is set it will automatically be degraded to en. In this case en will be used as locale for your application.
When the locale could also not be detected by downgrading, the locale of your environment (web server) will be used. Most available environments from Web Hosters use en as locale.
When the systems locale could not be detected
will use it's default locale, which is set to en per
For more informations about locale detection take a look into this chapter on Zend_Locale's automatic detection.
The above autodetection could lead to problems when the locale could not be detected and
you want to have another default locale than en. To prevent this,
Zend_Application_Resource_Locale allows you to set a own locale
which will be used in the case that the locale could not be detected.
Example #7 Autodetect locale and setting a fallback
The following snippet shows how to set a own default locale which will be used when the client does not send a locale himself.
; Try to determine automatically first, ; if unsuccessful, use nl_NL as fallback. resources.locale.default = "nl_NL"
Sometimes it is useful to define a single locale which has to be used. This can be done by using the force option.
In this case this single locale will be used and the automatic detection is turned off.
Example #8 Defining a single locale to use
The following snippet shows how to set a single locale for your entire application.
; No matter what, the nl_NL locale will be used. resources.locale.default = "nl_NL" resources.locale.force = true
When you have set no cache,
Zend_Locale will set itself a cache
with the file backend by default. But if you want to choose the backend or others
options, you can use the name of a cache template or an instance of
For more informations look into Speed up Zend_Locale and its subclasses.
Example #9 Defining a cache template to use
; Optionally you can also the cache template to use for caching: resources.locale.cache = "locale"
Zend_Application_Resource_Log to instantiate a
Zend_Log instance with an arbitrary number of log writers.
Configuration will be passed to the Zend_Log::factory() method,
allowing you to specify combinations of log writers and filters. The log instance may then
be retrieved from the bootstrap later in order to log events.
Example #10 Sample Log Resource Configuration
Below is a sample INI snippet showing how to configure the log resource.
resources.log.stream.writerName = "Stream" resources.log.stream.writerParams.stream = APPLICATION_PATH "/../data/logs/application.log" resources.log.stream.writerParams.mode = "a" resources.log.stream.filterName = "Priority" resources.log.stream.filterParams.priority = 4
For more information on available options, please review the Zend_Log::factory() documentation.
Zend_Application_Resource_Mail can be used
to instantiate a transport for
Zend_Mail or set
the default name and address, as well as the default replyto- name and address.
When instantiating a transport, it's registered automatically to
Zend_Mail. Though, by setting the
transport.register directive to FALSE, this
behaviour does no more occur.
Example #11 Sample Mail Resource Configuration
Below is a sample INI snippet showing how to configure the mail resource plugin.
resources.mail.transport.type = smtp resources.mail.transport.host = "smtp.example.com" resources.mail.transport.auth = login resources.mail.transport.username = myUsername resources.mail.transport.password = myPassword resources.mail.transport.register = true ; True by default resources.mail.defaultFrom.email = firstname.lastname@example.com resources.mail.defaultFrom.name = "John Doe" resources.mail.defaultReplyTo.email = email@example.com resources.mail.defaultReplyTo.name = "Jane Doe"
Zend_Application_Resource_Modules is used to initialize
your application modules. If your module has a
Bootstrap.php file in its root, and it contains a class
Module_Bootstrap (where "Module" is the module name),
then it will use that class to bootstrap the module.
By default, an instance of
Zend_Application_Module_Autoloader will be created for the
module, using the module name and directory to initialize it.
Since the Modules resource does not take any arguments by default, in order to enable it via configuration, you need to create it as an empty array. In INI style configuration, this looks like:
resources.modules[] =
In XML style configuration, this looks like:
Using a standard PHP array, simply create it as an empty array:
$options = array( 'resources' => array( 'modules' => array(), ), );
Note: Front Controller Resource Dependency
The Modules resource has a dependency on the Front Controller resource. You can, of course, provide your own replacement for that resource via a custom Front Controller resource class or a class initializer method -- so long as the resource plugin class ends in "Frontcontroller" or the initializer method is named "_initFrontController" (case insensitive).
Example #12 Configuring Modules
You can specify module-specific configuration using the module name as a prefix or sub-section in your configuration file.
For example, let's assume that your application has a "news" module. The following are INI and XML examples showing configuration of resources in that module.
[production] news.resources.db.adapter = "pdo_mysql" news.resources.db.params.host = "localhost" news.resources.db.params.username = "webuser" news.resources.db.params.password = "XXXXXXX" news.resources.db.params.dbname = "news"
pdo_mysql localhost webuser XXXXXXX news true
Example #13 Retrieving a specific module bootstrap
On occasion, you may need to retrieve the bootstrap object for a specific module -- perhaps to run discrete bootstrap methods, or to fetch the autoloader in order to configure it. This can be done using the Modules resource's getExecutedBootstraps() method.
$resource = $bootstrap->getPluginResource('modules'); $moduleBootstraps = $resource->getExecutedBootstraps(); $newsBootstrap = $moduleBootstraps['news'];
Zend_Application_Resource_Multidb is used to initialize
multiple Database connections. You can use the same options as you can with
the Db Resource Plugin.
However, for specifying a default connection, you can also use the 'default' directive.
Example #14 Setting up multiple Db Connections
Below is an example INI configuration that can be used to initialize two Db Connections.
[production] resources.multidb.db1.adapter = "pdo_mysql" resources.multidb.db1.host = "localhost" resources.multidb.db1.username = "webuser" resources.multidb.db1.password = "XXXX" resources.multidb.db1.dbname = "db1" resources.multidb.db2.adapter = "pdo_pgsql" resources.multidb.db2.host = "example.com" resources.multidb.db2.username = "dba" resources.multidb.db2.password = "notthatpublic" resources.multidb.db2.dbname = "db2" resources.multidb.db2.default = true
Example #15 Retrieving a specific database adapter
When using this resource plugin you usually will want to retrieve
a specific database. This can be done by using the resource's
getDb(). The method
getDb() returns an instance of a class that
Zend_Db_Adapter_Abstract. If you have not
set a default database, an exception will be thrown when this method
is called without specifying a parameter.
$resource = $bootstrap->getPluginResource('multidb'); $db1 = $resource->getDb('db1'); $db2 = $resource->getDb('db2'); $defaultDb = $resource->getDb();
Example #16 Retrieving the default database adapter
Additionally, you can retrieve the default database adapter by using the method getDefaultDb(). If you have not set a default adapter, the first configured db adapter will be returned. Unless you specify FALSE as first parameter, then NULL will be returned when no default database adapter was set.
Below is an example that assumes the Multidb resource plugin has been configured with the INI sample above:
$resource = $bootstrap->getPluginResource('multidb'); $db2 = $resource->getDefaultDb(); // Same config, but now without a default db: $db1 = $resource->getDefaultDb(); $null = $resource->getDefaultDb(false); // null
Zend_Application_Resource_Navigation can be used to configure
Zend_Navigation instance. Configuration options are per the
Zend_Navigation options.
Once done configuring the navigation instance, it assigns the instance to
Zend_View_Helper_Navigation by default
-- from which you may retrieve it later.
Example #17 Sample Navigation resource configuration
Below is a sample INI snippet showing how to configure the navigation resource.
resources.navigation.pages.page1.label = "Label of the first page" resources.navigation.pages.page1.route = "Route that belongs to the first page" ; Page 2 is a subpage of page 1 resources.navigation.pages.page1.pages.page2.type = "Zend_Navigation_Page_Uri" resources.navigation.pages.page1.pages.page2.label = "Label of the second page" resources.navigation.pages.page1.pages.page2.uri = "/url/to/page/2"
Zend_Application_Resource_Router can be used to
configure the router as it is registered with the Front Controller.
Configuration options are per the
Zend_Controller_Router_Route options.
Example #18 Sample Router Resource configuration
Below is a sample INI snippet showing how to configure the router resource.
resources.router.routes.route_id.route = "/login" resources.router.routes.route_id.defaults.module = "user" resources.router.routes.route_id.defaults.controller = "login" resources.router.routes.route_id.defaults.action = "index" ; Optionally you can also set a Chain Name Separator: resources.router.chainNameSeparator = "_"
For more information on the Chain Name Separator, please see its section.
Zend_Application_Resource_Session allows you to configure
Zend_Session as well as optionally initialize a session
To set a session save handler, simply pass the saveHandler (case insensitive) option key to the resource. The value of this option may be one of the following:
String: A string indicating a class implementing
Zend_Session_SaveHandler_Interface that should be
Array: An array with the keys "class" and, optionally,
"options", indicating a class implementing
Zend_Session_SaveHandler_Interface that should be
instantiated and an array of options to provide to its constructor.
Zend_Session_SaveHandler_Interface: an object
implementing this interface.
Any other option keys passed will be passed to
Zend_Session::setOptions() to configure
Example #19 Sample Session resource configuration
Below is a sample INI snippet showing how to configure the session
resource. It sets several
Zend_Session options, as well
as configures a
Zend_Session_SaveHandler_DbTable instance.
resources.session.save_path = APPLICATION_PATH "/../data/session" resources.session.use_only_cookies = true resources.session.remember_me_seconds = 864000 resources.session.saveHandler.class = "Zend_Session_SaveHandler_DbTable" resources.session.saveHandler.options.name = "session" resources.session.saveHandler.options.primary[] = "session_id" resources.session.saveHandler.options.primary[] = "save_path" resources.session.saveHandler.options.primary[] = "name" resources.session.saveHandler.options.primaryAssignment[] = "sessionId" resources.session.saveHandler.options.primaryAssignment[] = "sessionSavePath" resources.session.saveHandler.options.primaryAssignment[] = "sessionName" resources.session.saveHandler.options.modifiedColumn = "modified" resources.session.saveHandler.options.dataColumn = "session_data" resources.session.saveHandler.options.lifetimeColumn = "lifetime"
Note: Bootstrap your database first!
If you are configuring the
Zend_Session_SaveHandler_DbTablesession save handler, you must first configure your database connection for it to work. Do this by either using the Db resource -- and make sure the "resources.db" key comes prior to the "resources.session" key -- or by writing your own resource that initializes the database, and specifically sets the default
Zend_Application_Resource_Translate will initialize a
Zend_Translate adapter based on the options passed to it.
The following configuration keys are recognized:
adapter :
adapter type. The default adapter is array if not specified.
data : path to translation.
locale : defining the locale to be used
in translation. By default, the locale can be detected automatically or forcing
with a
Zend_Locale instance store in
Zend_Registry with a single locale.
options : the options are different for each adapter. See the section Options for adapters for more details.
registry : the custom key to store the
Zend_Translate instance in the registry. By default, the
key is Zend_Translate.
cache : the name of the cache template
or an instance of
Zend_Cache_Core to use as cache for
Zend_Translate_Adapter. The goal is to accelerate the
loading specialy for the XML based files.
Example #20 Sample translate adapter resource configuration
Below is an example INI configuration that can be used to initialize the translate resource.
resources.translate.adapter = tmx resources.translate.content = APPLICATION_PATH "/../data/locales" resources.translate.scan = Zend_Translate::LOCALE_DIRECTORY ; Optionally you can also the cache template to use for caching: resources.translate.cache = "languages"
This resource provides the ability to configure and instantiate Zend_Http_UserAgent for use within your application.
Zend_Http_UserAgent, including usage of the application
resource, is covered in the UserAgent quick start. Below is a
quick summary of typical options you might provide.
resources.useragent.wurflapi.wurfl_api_version = "1.1" resources.useragent.wurflapi.wurfl_lib_dir = APPLICATION_PATH "/../library/Wurfl/1.1" resources.useragent.wurflapi.wurfl_config_file = APPLICATION_PATH "/../library/Wurfl/1.1/resources/wurfl-config.php"
Please see the UserAgent options section for details on available options.
Called by the bootstrap object to initialize the resource. Calls the
getUserAgent() method first (and returns the instance
returned by that method); then, if the "view" resource is available, retrieves
it and injects the
UserAgent instance into the
UserAgent view helper.
Instantiates a
Zend_Http_UserAgent instance, using the
configuration options provided in the application configuration.
Zend_Application_Resource_View can be used to configure
Zend_View instance. Configuration options are per the
Once done configuring the view instance, it creates an instance of
Zend_Controller_Action_Helper_ViewRenderer and registers
the ViewRenderer with
-- from which you may retrieve it later.
Example #21 Sample View resource configuration
Below is a sample INI snippet showing how to configure the view resource.
resources.view.encoding = "UTF-8" resources.view.basePath = APPLICATION_PATH "/views/"
If you want to obtain more information about values, see Doctype Helper .
Example #22 Sample doctype configuration
The following snippet shows how to set a doctype.
resources.view.doctype = "HTML5"
If you want to obtain more information about values, see HeadMeta Helper .
Example #23 Sample content type and encoding configuration
The following snippet shows how to set a meta Content-Type.
resources.view.contentType = "text/html; charset=UTF-8"
Example #24 Sample encoding configuration for a HTML5 document
The following snippet shows how to set a meta charset in HTML5-style.
resources.view.doctype = "HTML5" resources.view.charset = "UTF-8"

Did you know supplements can help diabetics control blood sugar, save eyesight and lower the risk of heart disease? Which ones should you take, and how much? LifeScript's Nutrition Expert Rob Wildman has the answers… 1. Can supplements help manage my blood sugar?Absolutely. One of the more promising supplements is a common household spice: cinnamon (Cinnamomum cassia). Some research studies suggest that supplements of cinnamon extract can lower blood glucose levels in people with type 2 diabetes. Chromium (in the form of chromium picolinate) and/or American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) may also help women manage blood sugar levels. Of course, you should talk to your doctor before taking any supplements.
2. I'm diabetic and want to have a baby. What vitamins/supplements should I be taking?Pregnancy presents special health challenges to diabetic women, especially during the first six weeks when the fetus's organs and extremities are forming. When blood sugar isn't under control, extra blood glucose and ketones pass through the placenta to the baby, which raises the risk of complications and birth defects. Taking folate, calcium, vitamin D and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) can lower the risk of preeclampsia (high blood pressure in pregnancy) and birth defects, plus support the baby's health.
Many women start taking prenatal supplements a couple weeks before trying to conceive. But pregnancy isn't the time to also start using herbal supplements to help control blood sugar. If you are already taking supplements and prenatal vitamins, talk to your OB/GYN about what is best for you and your baby. Always check with your doctor before taking any nutritional supplements while pregnant.
3. Are there any supplements that can save my eyesight?Diabetes increases the risk of degenerative eye disorders because uncontrolled blood glucose can damage small blood vessels and nerves in the eyes. Antioxidants, such as vitamins E and C, may help protect eye health. And the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin are associated with a decreased risk of degenerative eye disorders. Consult your doctor before taking supplements and eat lots of fruits, vegetables and whole grains.
4. As a diabetic, what supplements can I take to protect my heart?Diabetes doubles a woman's risk of developing heart disease, a result of years of damage to blood vessel walls. Along with prescribed medications, supplements and functional foods (foods with health-promoting properties) can also protect your heart. Phytosterols (found in plants, nuts and legumes), psyllium fiber (found in Metamucil and some cereals) and oat and barley bran can all help lower cholesterol.
Omega-3 fat (from fish and algae) is another friend of the heart. It can lower triglyceride levels, which decreases inflammation and keeps your blood vessels healthy. A good multivitamin/mineral for diabetic women should contain folate, calcium, potassium, copper, manganese, selenium, iron, zinc, and vitamins E, C, B6 and B12. Also look for policosinol, which may lower cholesterol. Extracts of pomegranate, grape seeds and grape skins can help, too, by preventing hardening of the arteries and reducing blood pressure.
5. I have diabetes and struggle with my weight. What supplements help with both?Most women diagnosed with type 2 diabetes are also overweight. And the two are linked: Once weight is lost, blood sugar levels tend to improve.
Some supplements may help you lose weight, such as glucomannan and psyllium. When taken before meals, these soluble fibers make you feel full by expanding in the stomach, slowing digestion and improving blood sugar levels.
Protein can also control hunger. When substituted for carbs, it helps lower blood glucose levels. Green tea extract is another pound-shaver. It can provide metabolism-boosting caffeine and catechins − antioxidants that may support weight loss. But it's always best to stick with a reduced calorie diet and regular exercise.
7. Women with diabetes are prone to depression. What can I do to prevent or manage that?It's true. Most women with diabetes are at greater risk for mental disorders. It's not clear why, but the stress of managing the disease is a likely cause. Omega 3 fatty acids and DHA may help with depression symptoms. If you don't eat seafood regularly, try a fish oil supplement or algal (algae) if you are a vegetarian.
Talk to your doctor, especially if you suspect that your medications may be the source of depression. Your doctor will also be able to diagnose whether another medical issue, such as hypothyroidism, could be causing the problem. At the very least, he or she can refer you to a qualified mental health professional.
8. What supplements can help with numbness and tingling in my feet (diabetic neuropathy)?Diabetic neuropathy is usually caused by blood glucose levels that have been elevated for years. This damages nerve endings in fingers and toes. B vitamins may help prevent nerve and blood-vessel damage. Benfotiamine, a form of thiamin (vitamin B1) found in garlic, onions, leeks, and shallots, has shown promise. (It can also minimize sexual problems associated with diabetes. See Tip No. 9). Make sure your multivitamin and mineral supplement has 100% of the daily B's, including thiamin, vitamin B6 and B12.
Alpha lipoic acid, an antioxidant, may also minimize the symptoms of diabetic neuropathy, according to several studies. Spinach, broccoli, beef and brewer's yeast are good food sources of alpha lipoic acid; it's also available in supplement form.
9. Diabetes has affected my sex life. Which supplements can bring back my libido? Diabetes can impact blood flow and nerve activity in a woman's sexual organs, resulting in a loss of sensation and decreased satisfaction. This condition is probably the result of years of uncontrolled blood sugar levels, which causes glucose to stick to proteins and damage blood vessels and nerves. Supplements that may increase blood flow and arousal include benfotiamine (vitamin B1) and the amino acids arginine or citrulline.
If you think the issue is more "upstairs" than "downstairs," talk to your doctor about DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone), theanine and tryptophan, which target the brain and can impact sexual desire and focus.
10. How do I know a supplement will work for diabetes? It's hard to choose the right supplement from the hundreds on your health food store's shelves. Tip: Many supplements are similar and even use the same ingredients from the same suppliers!
Look for reputable brands with trusted reputations, such as GNC and Barleans. Check the label for statements about Good Manufacturing Practices. This means the product was made under approved conditions.
Some vitamins and supplements contain unique and/or patented ingredients not available in most other products. Be sure to research these extra ingredients before assuming they're worth taking. For more information, check out our Diabetes Health Center. Got a Question? Ask Dr. Wildman.Plus, meet Dr. Wildman.
Myth vs. Fact: How Much Do You Know about Diabetes?In the United States alone, 23.6 million people have diabetes. And 5.6 million of them don't even know it. Unfortunately, misinformation about diabetes is rampant – and mixing up the facts about this disease can have dire consequences. Are you confused about diabetes? Test your knowledge with our diabetes quiz.

Top Ohio Republicans Ask Why Party Lost
Failed Voter Turnout, a Surge of African-Americans at the Polls and a Lack of Love for the Candidate Cited as Explanations
Top Ohio Republicans and aides to Mitt Romney's presidential campaign remain flabbergasted over what went wrong Tuesday in a do-or-die state they thought they would win all the way up to the final hours.
Was it a failed voter-turnout operation? An unforeseen surge in African-American voters? A lack of real love for the candidate?
Ohio Republicans see evidence for all those explanations, a surprise after their polls and...

I am very pleased and satisfied with my tractor in many ways...The most satisfication I get with my tractor is when me and my friend, Porter which has a 70 hp 3010 John Deere, tries to out proform my 54 HP Mahindra with his 70 HP 3010 John Deere but he finally admitted to me that my 54 hp Mahindra will do anything that his 70 hp 3010 John Deere will do. The Truth and whole truth and nothing but the truth.
This tractor is the best value on the market to date it is easy to run powerfull.The paint could be better but don't that hold you back.My wife has never run a tractor and just one day she cutting the back 40 running the front end loader like she had been doing it her entire life.it's not green or orange it's better!
I currently have 230 hrs on my tractor and it has really stood the test. I'm from Hawthorne, CA and I never would have thought that I would ever own a tractor. I'm glad the Mahindra was my first. My previous job required me to project manage 80 chicken houses and the majority of the farmers had big John Deere tractors. Since I was new to the tractor world, I would sit and watch the farmers work their Deere's and I would ask a gang of questions.
I can honestly say that I have been able to do just about everything that they were doing with their 65hp, 75hp and 80hp tractors. I have a MACHINE! I even like the way it sounds.
This tractor has given great service. 0 hours down time. Has been worked with a cutter, box blade, tiller, hay rake, and has a ML260 loader used on it.
The loader can be taken off and put back on in minutes. With no problems.
Fine little tractor
Purchased the tractor with front end loader and mower deck.
The tractor has surpassed all expectation I had or anyone around me had of what the 20 HP tractor would do.
I've ran heavy and farm equipment equipment most of my life. My wife and I purchased a new home on 1 1/4 acre. We had a lot of clearing and landscape work to do. Rental equipment wasn't really an option for us. So we started looking at compact tractors. I was so impressed with the Mahindra tractors; build more rugged, lifting capacity is much more than all of the other compact tractors. Once I started using the 1815, I could not believe what a work horse it truely is. It has been able to handle anything I've asked it to do and more. The most impressive feature about this tractor is, you can spread rock, dirt and take to a finish grade that is better than larger more expensive machines can not do. I have ran all of the other brands of compact tractors....none compare to this little work horse.
I purchased my tractor to work my 45 acre farm. Mowing, tilling, and moving dirt. So Far everything had been done with ease and satistaction. After 6 months of sitting in my open barn, i hit the starter this spring and the tractor roared to a start. I only used it 22 hours last year, but so far she is a work horse so to speak. I did have the bucket added and should have had fluid in the rear tires, extra weight when lifting large amounts of dirt. I will have this done. Obviously i am very hapy so far with the Mahindra performance.
this tractor will easily meet all my needs here. For the money it's the best value i could find..
My father and I bought the Mahindra 5530 4WD for use on our 40 Acre hobby farm in Northern Idaho. After doing months of research on "comparable" tractors (New Holland, John Deere, Kubota, Case/IH, Montana etc...), we found that for the most bang for our buck the Mahindra was the way to go. First, the Mahindra is a heavier duty tractor. It came with the front loader and ready to work. All of the others, we would have had to "add" the extras. The only thing we added was the dual spindles for rear hydraulics. We also bought the Bison NHVH-242-XHD Rear Blade. One of the strongest rear hydraulic blades on the market. My dad grew up on John Deere equipment on a diary farm in Minnesota, I grew up using the same equipment...as hard as it was to go with another manufacturer, I do not regret it one bit! The warranty is awesome, the Buck at EFC was and still is the best salesman I have ever worked with. I had a John Deere 2010 and upgraded to my Mahindra 5530 4WD. Another plus, is that Mahindra is made in the U.S.A. it maybe owned by India, but they put them together in Georgia and Texas. JD tractors that are less than 100 horse are made in India and shipped here...You pay a lot of money for that infamous green and yellow paint...the paint doesn't do the work...save yourself the time and go with a Mahindra! If you are like me and strong minded and want to do the research, look at the specs of all comparable tractors, Mahindra will beat them all almost every time! I am getting a Kodiak 10' Pull Type Mower next and a Skidsteer Fork system...looking forward to making short order of my projects!!! I have used the snot out of my tractor and I am VERY PLEASED!!! Several larger ranch owners have come by to see my tractor and cannot believe how strong of a tractor it is and how well built everything is...to quote one of them, "This front loader makes mine look like it was built out of toothpicks...wanna trade?" I have used my tractor for grading my long road, pulling stumps, moving gravel, moving dirt for a road widening project, mowing, tilling, moving brush...you name it, I have probably done it. If you want to ask me any questions about my experience with my Mahindra, feel free to email me at email@example.com. Trust me, after you waste your time doing all the research like my dad and I, you will end up seeing the Mahindra is the way to go. Why pay extra for the paint, when you can put that money towards attachments or a bigger tractor?!!

In this nested menu, the UL's list elements are floated left to create css based flyout menus. However, when the parent container (header) is not wide enough to fit them all on the same line, they get bumped down to the next row.
However, since this is a flyout menu, that screws up the vertical alignment of the elements.
How can I force the floated elements to not wrap to the next line (and optionally force the layout to expand horizontally when the width of menu.top.cat exceeds the header div's stated 977px?
This screenshot shows the correct display (when top row elements total width does not exceed container width of header element - 977px)
This shot shows what happens when more elements are added to the top row of list items. The last list item is wrapping under the first.

Line 1 el 1

Line 1 el 2

Blue Cameras under $100

Red Cameras Under $100

Line 1 el 3

Line 1 el 4

Line 1 el 5 (wraps to next line)

Slim Cameras Pocket Sized

best black cameras under $200

stuff here below menus

.header {width:977px;}
.menu.top.cat {overflow:visible;}
.menu.top ul { position: relative; list-style: none; z-index: 50;}
.menu.top ul li { position: relative; float: left;}
.menu.top ul ul { position: absolute; visibility: hidden; list-style: none; z-index: 9999; }
.menu.top ul ul li {display:block;width:100%}
.menu.top ul ul ul {left:150px;}
.menu.top ul ul li { clear: both;}
.menu.top ul a { display: block; }
.menu.top ul ul ul { position: absolute; top: 0; }
.menu.top ul li:hover ul, .menu.top ul a:hover ul, .menu.top ul :hover ul :hover ul, .menu.top ul :hover ul :hover ul :hover ul { visibility: visible;}

.menu.top ul.children li.current-cat a {color:#333;}
First thing I see looking at that - there's sometimes an apostrophe in Camera's (but only about half the time).
Second, 977px is going to be too wide for some people. You should aim to have your site no wider than 770px so that it fits onto the vast majority of screens/windows/setups.
Third, making your site even wider to accommodate additional list items will guarantee that some people never see those menu items off to the right, and is a really bad idea.
I'm not aware of any way to force the floats to stay on the same row, even if it was the right way to go about it. A better solution would be to ensure that your menu doesn't get that big. For a start, how big is the text? Could it be reduced without compromising readability/accessibility? Then consider how many categories you actually need, and keep that to a minimum.
I'm wondering, "Why not use jQuery to make a drop down list."
Put all best cameras in one list have the prices drop down. Seems more user friendly to me. I really don't think whether they are blue or red is a big user concern. Then in your Cameras by review have "top rated, Amazon top-rated.
To Stevie D: If the best size for templates was 720, there wouldn't be so many developers using the 960 grid. Moreover, if you look at many high-profile e-commerce sites, the pages are scalable (probably spelled wrong) and may take up the whole screen.
I do think that 977 is too wide since you have to accommodate browser scroll bars and such, but 720 on sites with many products often results in a cramped looking page with a sea of background on either side of the template.
Scott, I know none of this answers your question. However, on sites with scalable (there's that iffy word again) pages, those floats generally do move down. I think that's part of the "float" idea.
I don't see your apostrophe after cameras. Did you already fix it? It was good that Steve pointed it out, although he could have done it in a kinder, gentler way. Sometimes it does take a second pair of eyes to zero in on a mistake.
If you mean you want the top main menu to be as long as the number of entries then float the element without a width but add a negative right margin.
.header {
That will stop the floats from wrapping but it will look a bit odd as they will poke out of the side of any main container that you may have. You'd then need to ensure that the following content is set to clear:both.
I'm not really sure of the dynamics you need but it's not really feasible to make the menu stretch the whole page if its wider. I'd probably need to see working example of the page to fully understand the implications.
I don't think Stevie was having a go at you but rather pointing at the pitfalls of wide layouts and of course it's ultimately your choice to go the way you think best.
I believe Stevie means starting from 720px, with a flexible layout, extensible up to 1120px or more, rather than using a fixed 960px.
With the mobile market these days, there's a bit of a change in the way you look to start laying out the page. Some say you should start with a basic layout most devices understand and work your way up, rather than starting from the top and add media queries for "lesser" devices, since media queries proved to be not so helpful in their case.
Why not just give the menu or it's container a min-width to prevent it for dropping the floats?
All you need to do is put a fixed width on the UL to prevent it wrapping if the viewport width is narrower than with width of the menu. Or at least a min-width.
Generally, as I understand it, most desktop browsers can now easily accommodate a wrapper width of 1000px and more. I wouldn't worry about the width of the current design.
EDIT: Whoah, three more responses in the time it took me to answer. Better answers above.
Thanks Paul, I think this is the best solution.
Some background: This is an exception handling situation. The example pics are just that, examples that I threw together pretty quickly. Its a localhost test bed.
In this case the code will be used in a shipping WordPress theme in which I can't know beforehand how many top level menus the end user's site will have. And although my usage instructions for this menu will state words to the effect: "Ideally, the number of top level menu items should not exceed the width of the container menu", I'm trying to gracefully handle the exceptions.
I always appreciate your clever and helpful solutions Paul.
~ s
OK, I understand a bit more now
Thanks Ralph, I agree. My actual width is 967, not 977 (made more than one typo on the opening thread but the edit window's closed).
I find that 967 is optimal to support 1024 pixel width screen resolutions.
Common practice ≠ good practice. IMX most of the sites that use a 960-grid (or any template grid) are not ones that I would take advice from over the best way to build a website that is fully accessible and usable. As noonnope correctly surmised, I'm not in favour of a fixed width at all, but prefer a fluid layout with min/max constraints. The bottom line is that if you design your site to require a maximised window with no sidebars on a 1024px display to avoid getting horizontal scrollbars then you will be causing problems for a significant minority of visitors, and those problems might include them never even finding the right-most menu item.
Nope, the apostrophes are still there in the screenshot, but not used consistently. Sometimes they're there, sometimes they're not.
Another thing that needs to be tightened up is capitalisation. Unlike the apostrophes, you can choose your own house style here, as to whether you want to use capital letters or not. One is not necessarily right and the other wrong (in this context), but you have to be consistent throughout.
This isn't just me being a nasty anal-retentive pedant. People will, consciously or subconsciously, judge the presentation and quality of writing on your site. If it is badly written and has lots of typos, spelling mistakes, missing or erroneous punctuation etc, they are less likely to believe it to be trustworthy. If you're not going to take care over the details when writing the website, why would they trust you to take care over the details of any other aspect of the business? You owe it to your customers and your business to proof-read everything carefully, and to make sure that you haven't got that kind of glaring mistake or inconsistency as the first thing people see. No, the occasional typo is unlikely to turn people away ... but mistakes on that level will lose you business.
That's all very well if you know how wide it needs to be. But in the case of a menu that can have sections added, changed or removed, or one where the text is not set in px and so can be resized, you can easily find situations where what you think ought to be enough width suddenly isn't. A method like Paul's that doesn't rely on knowing the exact dimensions of all its child elements is better, although to have it sticking out potentially beyond the page design and even beyond the viewport is not an ideal solution ... which is why I think the OP is actually trying to solve the wrong problem.
Ah, I didn't realize it needed to be a fluid width layout.
Jiminy Cricket, I can't see a single apostrophe on the word camera in that screen shot. Could you be looking at a cached version?[/ot]
Aha, yes ... I've reloaded the images and they have now disappeared![/ot]

PHOTO: Kim Zolciak shows off HUGE bare belly bump
Kim Zolciak is huge — in the best way possible.
On Sunday, the nine-months pregnant star posted an Instagram pic showing off her giant baby bump.
As Gossip Cop previously reported, Zolciak was shocked to find out over the summer that she and husband Kroy Biermann are expecting twins.
She later showed off her growing belly in a bikini in September, but she's grown quite a bit since then.
And, it seems, is now more than ready to pop.
"The twins will here this month and we are soooo excited and I'm soooo over being pregnant! #countingdownthedays," wrote Zolciak alongside the new pic.
Zolciak and Biermann already have two sons together; she also has two daughters from a previous marriage, whom he adopted.

Connie Britton Dishes on How She Keeps Her Auburn Locks Shiny + Fabulous
Wondering how 'Nashville' star Connie Britton keeps her long, auburn locks looking so fab? We've got her secrets right here!
-Lucia Peters
Raise your hand if you're just a tiny bit jealous of Nashville star Connie Britton's flowing, auburn locks! The actress' mane has become her signature—and with good reason: It always looks healthy, shiny, and positively luscious! So how does she keep it looking so fabulous? We've got the answer right here—and it's rather surprising.
Connie was recently in New York to hand out care packages with Curel and Direct Relief International (love!). Styelist caught up with her while she was there and got her to dish on a few of her hair and beauty secrets.The actress is quick to give credit where it's due, especially when it comes to her looks on Nashville. "Here's the deal," she says, "I have fantastic people that I work with on the show who do their thing."
When she's left to her own devices, though, her hair care routine is surprisingly low-maintenance. "True confession: I don't wash my hair very much," Connie admits. "My hair's so dry when I wash it, it gets fluffy and hard to handle. I will get out of the shower and let my hair dry on its own. Then, as the days go on, it actually gets better." She adds, "I don't need to use products in between because it doesn't get greasy. But I do have some products that I love like Wen shampoo, which is amazing and helps a lot too." Would that we could all be so lucky!
Read Emma Stone's Skincare + Makeup Secrets… Revealed!
Connie loves having long hair. She's had short hair a few times in her life—"I got a Dorothy Hamill haircut when I was growing up, and then when I went to college I got a really, really short haircut"—but now, she says, "I don't think I'm ever going to cut it."
When it comes to skincare, Connie is a little more careful. "I'm not a big believer in plastic surgery for myself, therefore I do think it's important to take care of your skin." Her biggest secrets? Staying hydrated and drinking veggie juices. She notes, "I think a lot of it is what you put in your body. It sounds really cheesy, but water is so key. And fresh vegetable juices every day because I feel like that really makes an impact in terms of being glowy and fresh." She's also a big believer in moisturizer: "Particular as I get older that's the thing that helps keep the wrinkles at bay. At least a little bit," she says.
Well, Connie, whatever you're doing, it's working—you look fabulous!

Signs of Richard Bailey remain scattered throughout Glendale Middle School.
A life-size, handcrafted Santa sleigh he built. A bookshelf he constructed. A repaired stool. A coat rack. A cabinet.
But Bailey's biggest legacy, say those who knew him, are the thousands of kids whose lives he changed over his 41 years as an educator in the Salt Lake City School District. It's a legacy his daughter hopes to continue with a new scholarship for Glendale students named in honor of her father, who passed away in October at the age of 67 from pancreatic cancer.
Bailey died just months after retiring as an industrial education teacher at Glendale, where he taught for most of his career.
"It was just something he really felt so passionate about," said Bailey's 29-year-old daughter, Ginger Bailey. "I wanted to be able to kind of give something back to him."
Ginger Bailey plans to call it the Richard Bailey Commitment to Excellence Scholarship. It will be awarded this school year to a Glendale student who will be chosen based on letters of recommendation, grade-point average and essays about career plans.
Her plan is to announce the award recipient this year and then pay the money directly to the student's college of choice after he or she finishes high school. If the winner does not finish high school, the award would go to a runner-up.
Ginger Bailey will announce the size of the scholarship at the end of the school year. But she said she's already collected about $1,100 from family, friends and Glendale faculty.
She said a scholarship simply seemed a fitting way to honor her dad, who took joy in pushing students to reach their full potential. He wanted kids to think about their futures, no matter their circumstances.
Many of Glendale's students face challenges, with about 96 percent coming from low-income families and 40 percent learning to speak English. About 25 languages are spoken in Glendale's hallways.
She said her father displayed in his classroom graduation caps from colleges throughout the state, bought classroom dictionaries in dozens of languages and held career days.
He especially enjoyed the challenge of teaching refugee children.
"He just loved seeing the kids, the light bulbs turn on in their heads," she said. "He was always trying to come up with new projects to make things fun for the students."
It was an attitude that extended beyond just his students. He was often an impromptu fix-it man around the school. His daughter called him a sort-of "real life MacGyver," saving the school countless dollars with his projects.
"It was never-ending what he did," said Dorrie Hamik, a Glendale teacher who worked with Bailey for 15 years. "He was a helper to teachers who needed his help for anything."
Principal Chris Gesteland called Bailey "a remarkable man."
"I guess I'd call him somewhat of a Renaissance Man," Gesteland said. "There wasn't much he couldn't do around the school and there wasn't much he wouldn't do to help someone out."
Late last week, amid a stage filled with students cradling instruments, Hamik awarded Ginger Bailey a plaque in honor of her late father.
"He believed in you guys," Hamik told the hundreds of students gathered for a school concert. "He dedicated himself to helping others, to being a teacher. He took pride in everything he did."
She then handed his daughter the plaque on the stage where her father had worked for all those years managing stage crews for the school's productions. When Ginger Bailey returned to her seat, she sat only feet from the life-size, red, green and gold Santa sleigh her father also built for the school.

We are about to take our forty-eighth flight over the Bible from 30,000 Feet. Join us as we soar over the entire book of Romans, Paul's letter to the church in Rome. This letter primarily focuses on the basic gospel message along with God's plan of salvation and righteousness for all humankind, Jew and Gentile alike. In our broad overview, we'll take a look at Paul's strong emphasis of Christian doctrine and his concern for Israel. The key chapters to review are 1, 3, 4, and 9-11.
DESTINATION: Romans
Paul wrote this letter to the church at Rome to prepare the way for a visit he hoped to make. He presented the basic system of salvation to a church that had not received the teaching of an apostle before. He also explained the relationship between Jew and Gentile in God's overall plan of redemption, because the Jewish Christians in Rome were being rejected by the larger Gentile group because the Jewish believers still felt constrained to observe dietary laws and sacred days.
Nero becomes ruler of the Roman Empire
c. 53-57
Paul's third missionary journey
c. 57 A.D.
Writing of the book of Romans
Paul's primary theme in Romans is the basic gospel, God's plan of salvation and righteousness for all humankind, Jew and Gentile alike. Its theme can be stated broadly as "righteousness from God," which includes justification by faith, and also such related ideas as guilt, sanctification and security.
Romans is most systematic of Paul's letters; it reads more like an elaborate theological essay than a letter. It strongly emphasizes Christian doctrine, including sin and death, salvation, grace, faith, righteousness, justification, sanctification, redemption, resurrection and glorification. Paul makes widespread use of Old Testament quotations, sometimes using them to carry along his argument. He expresses a deep concern for Israel, its present status, relationship to the Gentiles and final salvation.
Rome -- The capital of the ancient world, with over a million people. Christians in the city were numerous, as the Roman historian Tacitus calls them "an immense multitude" by 64 A.D.
Corinth -- A major city in Greece where Paul probably wrote the book of Romans.
Paul -- An apostle of Jesus Christ and the preeminent theologian of the early church. Paul wrote much of the New Testament.
Tertius -- Secretary who wrote down Paul's words. He makes some greetings at the end of the letter.
Gaius -- Paul's host; Paul wrote Romans in his home.
When Paul wrote this letter, he was probably on his third missionary journey.
Since Paul had not yet been to Rome when he wrote the book of Romans, he was not acquainted directly with the church, and he says little about its problems.
Paul did not immediately to go Rome because he felt he must personally deliver the money given by the Gentile churches for the poverty-stricken Christians of Jerusalem.


description: October 4, 2010—The Census of Marine Life has released its findings of ten years of research and exploration of the world's oceans. The first-ever study of its kind, involving 2,700 scientists from 80 nations, identified more than 6,000 potentially new species. The effort will help researchers observe how marine populations change in response to events such as oil spills and climate change.

transcript:
Breathe in.
Now, breathe in again.
Every second breath you take, comes from the ocean.
No matter who you are, or where you live, your life depends on the ocean and the creatures that live there.
From the tiniest organisms, to the biggest.
But for something so important to our lives, we know surprisingly little about it.
In 2000, The Census of Marine Life embarked on a mission to change that.
This 10-year effort used the latest technologies as well as time-tested techniques to explore and monitor life in the oceans,
It was a landmark collaboration that involved more than:
2700 scientists
80 nations
600 institutions
500 expeditions
And 9000 days at sea.
Census scientists recorded the locations of tens of millions of individual marine organisms.
Some finds were thrilling.
In the waters off Australia, researchers found a species of shrimp thought to have gone extinct 50 million years ago.
Other discoveries, however, were not as encouraging.
Off the coast of northern Europe, Atlantic bluefin tuna were scarce in waters where they once thrived.
In many areas, scientists found species that are completely new to science.
In all, researchers found more than 6000 potentially new marine species, and formally described 1200 of them.
And for the first time, scientists created a digital "address book" of what lives in the oceans.
Made up of nearly 30 million records, this resource is accessible for free to researchers and the public worldwide.
Thanks to this unprecedented effort, now there's a baseline -- a snapshot of what lives in the sea and where it was found, against which future change can be measured.
We can see how populations change over time, what stays the same, and what's at stake for our ocean's future.
And hopefully because of the Census of Marine Life, we can all ...breathe a little easier.

String Case
You need to convert a string to all uppercase or all lowercase.
For ASCII, you can do it yourself in this simple manner:
to_upper(S) -> lists:map(fun char_to_upper/1, S). to_lower(S) -> lists:map(fun char_to_lower/1, S). char_to_upper(C) when C >= $a, C =< $z -> C bxor $\s; char_to_upper(C) -> C. char_to_lower(C) when C >= $A, C =< $Z -> C bxor $\s; char_to_lower(C) -> C.
For many other languages where case-change makes sense, you can extend the above in a simple manner by adding new ranges or specific characters to the char_to_*/1 functions. For some, you may need extra processing in to_upper/1 or to_lower/1.
Erlang doesn't have a nice unicode-respectful way of doing this. If you'd like to prototype such a way, you might start with:
-module(unicode). -record(unicode_string,{encoding,language,data}).

New drugs for Alzheimer's: NIA boosts translational researchMay 1, 2009
Dr. Roberta Diaz Brinton of the University of Southern California (USC) in Los Angeles knew she needed to take the next step. Her studies showed that allopregnanolone, one of the most common steroids in the brain, boosted the brain's regenerative abilities and reversed the cognitive deficits in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Thanks to the NIA's commitment to translational research, she could begin the preclinical development of allopregnanolone as an AD therapeutic.
In 2008, Dr. Brinton, a professor of pharmacology and a chair in therapeutic discovery and development at USC, received funding for her project through the NIA's AD Drug Development cooperative agreement (U01) program. This funding initiative provides up to 5 years of support at $500,000 to $1 million per year for preclinical development of novel drugs for AD, mild cognitive impairment, and age-related cognitive decline.
In addition, the program supports the development of biologics and natural compounds and the repurposing of existing drugs used to treat other diseases. This support enables researchers to gather sufficient data to secure Investigational New Drug (IND) status for their candidate therapeutic from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Once a therapeutic has an IND designation, it can be tested in humans.
"The ability to pursue the translational aspect of 20 years of basic science discovery is a dream come true," says Dr. Brinton. "The U01 program is phenomenal—it provides the support we need to be successful."
Dr. Brinton is one of a growing number of academic investigators tapping into the NIA's support of translational Alzheimer's research. The NIA's Division of Neuroscience (DN) issued its first Request for Applications for Alzheimer's drug discovery in 1991. In 2004, the division kicked its support for translational research into high gear by creating funding opportunities directed at drug discovery and preclinical drug development.
"[The] NIA has supported translational research for AD since the beginning of the 1990s, but these special funding initiatives enable the science of drug discovery to flourish," says Dr. Suzana Petanceska, a DN program director. "The NIH is in a unique position to support the initial translation of basic research into new therapies since academic research is a fertile ground for the discovery of potential therapeutic targets.
"These translational research programs have been supported through set-aside funds, which enabled us to build a sizable portfolio of projects in a difficult budget climate," Dr. Petanceska continues. In addition, special review panels of experts in drug discovery for neurodegenerative diseases, and Alzheimer's disease in particular, evaluate the applications. "This is key to bringing as many of the best projects forward as we can," she says.
Starting with the basics: preclinical programs
The U01 grant program, which funds Dr. Brinton, currently supports 11 other projects. In addition, NIA has a funding initiative of early AD drug discovery that uses the Exploratory/Developmental grant mechanism (R21). This initiative, a collaboration with the New York City-based nonprofit Alzheimer's Drug Discovery Foundation, provides up to $275,000 over 2 years to researchers involved in the earliest steps of drug discovery.
Before approaching the NIA about translational research funding, Dr. D. Martin Watterson, co-director of Northwestern University's Center for Drug Discovery and Chemical Biology in Chicago, and colleagues had NIA grants that allowed them to spend about 2 years studying the basics of the neuroinflammatory cycle that characterizes AD.
"Once we had the data on how to intervene in that cycle, we said, okay, we want to make a drug-like molecule, and we went back to NIA in 2005 and submitted a U01 proposal," he explains. With the U01 grant, Dr. Watterson's team was able to work out the chemistry of a potential therapeutic compound that penetrates the brain. The end result was a lead compound called Minozac and a family of related compounds that bring the brain's cytokine levels back into homeostasis. The drug has been licensed to a Canadian biotechnology company, which is doing further preclinical development.
Dr. Watterson says, "It took us about 2 years from when we had the concept written in a lab notebook to when we actually had a group of molecules work in vivo and a potential production scheme that could be transferred to industry."
He credits good luck for the quick turnaround time but adds, "There's no opportunity to pursue serendipity without NIA funding."
Making research work, together
Before any potential compound is ready for the next big step of clinical development—human testing—it must undergo rigorous toxicology testing to ensure that it is safe. Here, too, NIA programs can extend a helping hand. Since its inception in 1994, the NIA's toxicology services program has tested more than a dozen therapeutic and imaging compounds, including the breakthrough imaging agent, Pittsburgh Compound B (PiB). Developed at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, PiB binds to amyloid in senile plaques, allowing fibrillar amyloid to show up on PET scans in the living brain.
When a compound has passed these initial safety tests and received IND status from the FDA, it's time for researchers to step outside their labs and work with pharmaceutical companies, request further support from the NIA or other funding sources, or both. The NIA's two large clinical trials programs are the Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study (ADCS), supported by NIA through a cooperative agreement grant to the University of California, San Diego, and the Alzheimer's Pilot Clinical Trials Program.
The Institute began these programs in part to support the development of drugs that industry might not be willing to invest in, including those already used for other conditions. For example, through a partnership between the ADCS and Baxter Pharmaceuticals, researchers at centers across the country are testing the effectiveness of infusions of immune globulin intravenous (IGIV) for reducing beta-amyloid in the brain. IGIV is often prescribed to patients with immunodeficiency and autoimmune disorders, but this trial will test its ability to treat AD.
"More often than in the past, when it comes to large phase III trials, investigators are partnering with pharmaceutical companies, such as Baxter, because it is very expensive to do these trials," says Dr. Laurie Ryan, a DN program director. "While the academic investigators have full control over running the trials, companies supply the drug to patients and may provide funds to expand the trial, for example, by adding an imaging component," she explains.
Dr. Ryan concludes, "It is becoming necessary for everyone to work together to accomplish our goal of getting better treatments out to the patients and families who desperately need them."

Leading up to the 2013 U.S. Solar Decathlon in Irvine, Calif., Ecobuildingpulse.com is keeping tabs on the progress of several teams. In a regular blog series, the teams will shed light on the experience of putting together their submissions for this year's Solar Decathlon. The teams will go up against 18 other teams from Oct. 3–13., to see which one designed the best solar-powered house. This week's blog entry is from Team Capitol DC—representing Catholic University, George Washington University, and American University—and chronicles the team's work from mid-February to mid-March.
Currently, Team Capitol DC is working on completing the building enclosure. We are also creating our interior wall studs in preparation for the rough electrical and plumbing work. We completed the rough mechanical last week. Additionally, we are pushing to complete the interior framing before our SIP panels arrive to complete the thermal barrier.
Our team's current challenge is coordinating all of these tasks that the students are performing alongside coordinating with the subcontractors who are assisting the team. We haven't had any major issues affect our overall timeline, but we do have time built in to account for issues if they arise. Keeping the construction schedule up to date is another challenge we are facing right now. An updated schedule ensures all team members and consultants have an idea when we are expecting to start different tasks.
Team Capitol DC is also currently focusing on the documentation of the project. We recently set up a camera onsite so that we can create a time lapse of the construction on HARVEST HOME. We hope to have a live webcam feed available soon.
We also face an additional challenge working with three universities. As new students join the project and our team grows in size, we have to ensure new teammates know how to communicate with other members from different universities. However, this is a challenge we are willing to accept since new students with different academic interests bring new ideas and fresh thinking to Team Capitol DC.
Keep visiting ecobuildingpulse.com for updates on the progress of the teams competing in the 2013 U.S. Solar Decathlon.

pneumonia vaccination
My daughter used to be under our family's Pedia. Now, we transferred to a different city and so I got a new doctor. Her new doctor got surprised that she was not given a pneumonia vaccination as early as 2 months. She is now turning 2 on September. My question is, is this okay? Should I worry? Is there any other available pneumonia vaccination that I can give her? If yes, what age? How can I possible protect her without that vaccine??
Thank you

She should be able to get the pneumonia vaccine now. From what I understand, babies are given so many boosters because their bodies are constantly growing and changing. At this point I would imagine that the vaccine would be even more effective than it would have been at two months.
As for protecting her from illness, just make sure you provide her a healthy, vitamin-rich diet. If you are particularly concerned, consider adding a probiotic to her diet. The human immune system is an amazing thing, it fights off illness all on its own, when allowed to do so. The human race survived for quite a long time without any immunizations at all.

Thank you so much for your advise. I was able to give her the shot. The doctor said there is this shot that compromises all she missed. Good thing I was able to ask before she turns two in two weeks time.
I am very protective with my eldest daughter as she is really a treasure to me. I will keep all these in mind. Again, thank you.

I am currently studying a Masters of Design at COFA and completing my final assignment for this semester. I am interested in ways in which design can help pneumonia suffers, especially children. I am also interested in finding out ways in which pneumonia sufferers live day-to-day. I would like to hear about your experiences and the ways in which you coped. I don't have pneumonia but I have had grandparents that have suffered from this disease.

My wife is frequently cold. The low level warmth is right for her. We both have been looking for a low voltage electric blanket for several years.Unlike a high voltage (115V) blanket, this doesn't get hot. We also found that a top blanket directed the warmth down.Then to supplement an unexpected cold body part, the temporary use of a heating pad is sufficient.

Austin, Republic of Texas
"We're the Free Texican Airforce, and we're flying tonight…" (Peter Rowan)
Okay, first off, I'm not in Austin yet.
I'm in Reno… but I'm preparing for flying into Austin Monday by keeping the oven on in the kitchen, while boiling four pans of water on the stove. Cuz it's hotttttttt down there.
I'm a dry-heat kinda desert rat. We're a mile up here in the biggest little city, and the idea of walking out onto the broiling tarmac of Bergstrom International — where it's rumored to be topping 107 this time o' year — is not fitting easily into my brain.
Now, I've spent months in the Florida Keys, on full-tilt boil, back when Gary Halbert insisted on moving down there (first to Marathon — or "Cleveland in the Keys" — and then to Key West — or "Key West", which is another concept hard to fathom for anyone who's never experienced it first-hand). (Trust me on that.)
But, like childbirth, you forget the details once the ordeal is behind you. (Or so I hear. Never been pregnant myself.)
So, the closest I've been to that kind of super-heat in the past few years… has been during a long, soothing shower. While it's snowing outside here in the bosom of the Sierra Nevadas.
Whatever. I'm going, because I'm speaking at an event alongside the likes of Joe Sugarman, Joe Polish, Bill Phillips, Chris Guerrero and other notables at a very nice event hosted by our pal Josh Bezoni.
And it's gonna be fun hanging out with those nutballs.
I'll also collapse and die at some point in the heat, of course, but I'll have a smile on my mug.

Three games, three wins via the mercy rule, one District 6 championship for the Chiefland 13-15 year-old Babe Ruth All-Stars.
It was almost too easy for manager Kyle Parnell?s boys, who outscored their opponents by a combined 34-3 margin in the tournament played at Strickland Park.
Chiefland opened with an 11-1 victory over Gainesville on Friday. Then on Saturday morning, Chiefland mauled Bradford A, 11-0.
That set up the final Saturday evening against Bradford B.
It was more of the same, as Chiefland ran awy with a 12-2 decision.
