Kernel logging: APIs and implementation
From the kernel to user space logs
The use of logs for debugging is as old as computing itself. Logs are useful not only for understanding the internal operation of a system but also the timing and relationships of activities within the system through the time-ordered messages within a time-stamped log.
This article begins its exploration of logging in the kernel by looking at
the application programming interfaces (APIs) used to configure and
collect the log information (see Figure 1 for a view of the overall
framework and components). It then looks at movement of log data from the
kernel into user space. Finally, the article explores the target of
kernel-based log data: the log management framework in user space with
Figure 1. Kernel logging ecosystem and major components
Kernel API
Logging within the kernel is performed using the
function, which shares similarity with
its user space counterpart, printf
formatted). The printf
command has a long
history in languages, most recently in the C
language but going much farther back into the 1950s and 1960s in the
Fortran (PRINT
statements), BCPL
function; BCPL was a precursor of
), and ALGOL 68 languages
, putf
Within the kernel, printk
(print kernel) is used
to write formatted messages into a buffer using a format almost identical
to the printf
function. You can find the format
of printk
in ./linux/include/linux/kernel.h
(and its implementation in ./linux/kernel/printk.c):
int printk( const char * fmt, ... );
This format indicates that a string is used to define the text and format
(just like printf
) and is accompanied by a
variable set of arguments (identified by the ellipsis
One of the first differences you'll see in the use of
is more about protocol and less about
function. This feature uses an obscure aspect of the
language to simplify the specification of
message level or priority. The kernel allows each message to be classified
with a log level (one of eight that define the severity of the particular
message). These levels communicate whether the system has become unusable
(an emergency message), a critical condition has occurred (a critical
message), or the message is simply informational. The kernel code
simply defines the log level as the first argument of the message, as
illustrated in the following example for a critical message:
printk( KERN_CRIT "Error code %08x.\n", val );
Note that the first argument is not an argument at all, as no comma
) separates the level
) from the format string. The
is nothing more than a string itself
(in fact, it represents the string "<2>"
see Table 1 for a full list of log levels). As part
of the preprocessor, C
automatically combines
those two strings in a capability called string literal
concatenation. The result is a single string that incorporates
the log level and user-specified format string as a single string. Note
that if a caller does not provide a log level within
, a default of
is automatically used (meaning
that only log messages of KERN_WARNING
higher priority will be logged).
Table 1. Log levels, symbolics, and uses
Symbolic | String | Usage |
KERN_EMERG | <0> | Emergency messages (precede a crash) |
KERN_ALERT | <1> | Error requiring immediate attention |
KERN_CRIT | <2> | Critical error (hardware or software) |
KERN_ERR | <3> | Error conditions (common in drivers) |
KERN_WARNING | <4> | Warning conditions (could lead to errors) |
KERN_NOTICE | <5> | Not an error but a significant condition |
KERN_INFO | <6> | Informational message |
KERN_DEBUG | <7> | Used only for debug messages |
KERN_DEFAULT | <d> | Default kernel logging level |
KERN_CONT | <c> | Continuation of a log line (avoid adding new time stamp) |
The printk
call can be called from any context
in the kernel. The call begins in ./linux/kernel/printk.c in the
function, which calls
(in the same source file) after
resolving the variable-length arguments using
The vprintk
function performs a number of
management-level checks (looking for recursion), and then grabs the lock
for the log buffer (__log_buf
). Next, the
incoming string is checked for the log-level string; if found, the log
level is set accordingly. Finally, vprintk
grabs the current time (using the function
) and converts it into a string using
(not the standard library version but
an internal kernel version implemented in ./linux/lib/vsprintf.c). The
string passed into printk
is then copied into
the kernel log buffer using a special function that manages the bounds of
the ring (emit_log_char
). At the end of this
function, a gratuitous acquisition and release of the console semaphore is
performed that emits the next log message to the console (performed within
). The size of the kernel
ring buffer was originally 4KB but in recent kernels is sized at 16KB (and
up to 1MB, depending on the architecture).
At this point, you've explored the API used to insert log messages into the kernel ring buffer. Now, let's look at the method used to migrate data from the kernel into the host.
Kernel logging and interface
Access to the log buffer is provided at the core through the multi-purpose
system call. This single call implements
a variety of actions that can all be performed from user space but only
one action for non-root users. The prototype for the
system call is defined in
./linux/include/linux/syslog.h; its implementation is in
The syslog
call serves as the input/output (I/O)
and control interface to the kernel's log message ring buffer. From the
call, an application can read log
messages (partial, in their entirety, or only new messages) as well as
control the behavior of the ring buffer (clear contents, set the level of
messages to be logged, enable or disable console, and so on).
Figure 2 provides a graphical illustration of the
logging stack with some of the major components discussed.
Figure 2. Kernel logging stack identifying the major components
The syslog
call (called
within the kernel in
./linux/kernel/printk.c) is a relatively small function that provides the
ability to read and control the kernel ring buffer. Note that in glibc
2.0, this function is called klogctl
because of
overuse of the term syslog, which refers to a variety of calls
and applications. The prototype function (in user space) for
and klogctl
is defined as:
int syslog( int type, char *bufp, int len ); int klogctl( int type, char *bufp, int len );
The type
argument communicates the command to
perform and is associated with an optional buffer with its length. Some
commands (such as clearing the ring buffer) ignore the
and len
arguments. Although the first two command types perform no action within
the kernel, the rest are used to read log messages or control aspects of
logging. Three commands are used to read log messages. The
command is used to block
until log messages are available, and then return them in the provided
buffer. This command consumes the messages (older messages will not appear
in subsequent calls to this command). The
command reads the last
n characters from the log (where n is defined as the
'len' parameter passed to
). The
command performs the
action followed by a
command (clear the ring
buffer). SYSLOG_ACTION_CONSOLE
ON and OFF
manipulate the log level to enable or disable log messages to the console,
where SYSLOG_CONSOLE_LEVEL
allows the caller to
define the level of log messages for the console to accept. Finally,
returns the size of
the kernel ring buffer, and
returns the number of
characters currently available to be read in the kernel ring buffer. The
complete list of SYSLOG
commands is shown in Table 2.
Table 2. Commands implemented with the syslog/klogctl system call
Command/opcode | Purpose |
SYSLOG_ACTION_CLOSE (0) | Close the log (unimplemented) |
SYSLOG_ACTION_OPEN (1) | Open the log (unimplemented) |
SYSLOG_ACTION_READ (2) | Read from the log |
SYSLOG_ACTION_READ_ALL (3) | Read all messages from the log (non-destructively) |
SYSLOG_ACTION_READ_CLEAR (4) | Read and clear all messages from the log |
SYSLOG_ACTION_CLEAR (5) | Clear the ring buffer |
SYSLOG_ACTION_CONSOLE_OFF (6) | Disable printk s to the console |
SYSLOG_ACTION_CONSOLE_ON (7) | Enable printk s to the console |
SYSLOG_ACTION_CONSOLE_LEVEL (8) | Set level of messages the console accepts |
SYSLOG_ACTION_SIZE_UNREAD (9) | Return the number of unread characters in the log |
SYSLOG_ACTION_SIZE_BUFFER (10) | Return the size of the kernel ring buffer |
Implemented above the
layer, the kmsg proc file system is a I/O path (implemented in
./linux/fs/proc/kmsg.c) that provides a binary interface for reading log
messages from the kernel buffer. This is commonly read by a daemon
or rsyslogd
that consumes the messages and passes them to
for routing to the appropriate log file
(based on its configuration).
The file /proc/kmsg implements a small number of file operations that
equate to internal do_syslog
Internally, the open
call relates to the
and the
call to
(each of which is
implemented as a No Operation Performed [NOP]). The poll operation allows
the wait for activity on the file, and then invokes
to identify the
number of characters available to read. Finally, the
operation maps to
to consume the available log
messages. Note that the /proc/kmsg file is not useful to users: It is used
by a single daemon to grab log messages and route them to the necessary
log file in the /var space.
User space applications
User space provides a number of access points for reading and managing kernel logging. Let's begin with the lower-level interfaces (such as the /proc file system configuration elements), and then expand to the higher-level applications.
The /proc file system exports more than just a binary interface for
accessing log messages (kmsg
). It also presents
a number of configuration elements both related and independent of those
discussed through the
Listing 1 shows an exploration of these parameters.
Listing 1. Exploring the printk configuration parameters in /proc
mtj@ubuntu:~$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/printk 4 4 1 7 mtj@ubuntu:~$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/printk_delay 0 mtj@ubuntu:~$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/printk_ratelimit 5 mtj@ubuntu:~$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/printk_ratelimit_burst 10
From Listing 1, the first entry defines the log levels
currently used in the printk
API. These log
levels represent the console log level, default message log level, minimum
console log level, and default console log level. The
value represents the number of
milliseconds to delay between printk
(to add readability in some scenarios). Note here that it's set to zero,
and it cannot be set through /proc. The
defines the minimum length of
time allowed between messages (currently defined as some number of kernel
messages every 5 seconds). The number of messages is defined by
(currently defined as
This is particularly useful if you have a chatty kernel but a
bandwidth-constrained console device (such as over a serial port).
Note that within the kernel, rate limiting is caller controlled and is not
implemented within printk
user who desires rate limiting calls the
The dmesg
command can also be used to print and
control the kernel ring buffer. This command uses the
system call to read the kernel ring
buffer and emit it to standard output (stdout). The command can also be
used to clear the kernel ring buffer (using the
option), set the level for logging to the
console (the -n
option), and define the size of
the buffer used to read the kernel log messages (the
option). Note that if the buffer size is not
specified, dmesg
identifies the proper buffer
size using the SYSLOG_ACTION_SIZE_BUFFER
operation to klogctl
Finally, the mother of all logging applications is
, a standardized logging framework that
is implemented in major operating systems (including Linux® and
Berkeley Software Distribution [BSD]). syslog
has its own protocol used to convey event notification messages over a
variety of transport protocols (dividing components into originators,
relays, and collectors). In many cases, all three are implemented in a
single host. In addition to syslog
's many
interesting features, it specifies how logging information is collected
and filtered as well as where to store it.
has gone through numerous changes and
evolved. You've probably heard of syslog
, or sysklogd
In more recent distributions of Ubuntu, a new version of
is used (based upon the original
), which refers to the reliable and
extended syslogd
The rsyslogd
daemon, through its configuration
file in /etc/rsyslog.conf), understands the /proc file system
interface and uses it to extract kernel
logging messages. Note that internally, all log levels are written through
/proc/kmsg so that instead of the kernel defining which log levels to
transport, the task is left to rsyslog
The kernel log messages are then stored in /var/log/kern.log (among other
configured files). In /var/log, you'll find a plethora of log files that
include general message and system-related calls (/var/log/messages),
system boot log (/var/log/boot.log), authentication logs
(/var/log/auth.log), and others.
Although the logs are available for your review, you can also use them for automated audits and forensics. A variety of log file analyzers exists for troubleshooting or compliance with security regulations and automatically look for problems using techniques such as pattern recognition or correlation analysis (even across systems).
Going farther
This article gave a glimpse into kernel logging and
applications—from kernel log message creation in the kernel to its
storage within the kernel's ring buffer to its transport into user space
/proc/kmsg to its routing through the rsyslog
logging framework to its final resting place in the /var/log subtree.
Linux provides a rich and flexible framework for logging (both in the
kernel and external).

AMD Athlon II X4 620 & 630: The First $99 Quad Core CPU
by Anand Lal Shimpi on September 16, 2009 12:00 AM EST- Posted in
- CPUs
How does AMD respond to Lynnfield? Is it by drastically cutting prices on Phenom II? Nope. By introducing the world's first quad-core processor to debut at $99. Now that's cool.
It's called the Athlon II X4 and its existence shouldn't be any surprise. AMD quietly announced it along with the Athlon II X2 line.
Today we get two models: the Athlon II X4 630 and the Athlon II X4 620, priced at $122 and $99 respectively. The only difference between the two is clock speed; the 630 runs at 2.8GHz while the 620 runs at 2.6GHz. These are both AM3 chips meaning they'll work in AM3 motherboards with DDR3 memory or AM2+ boards with DDR2 memory.
Processor | Clock Speed | L2 Cache | L3 Cache | TDP | Price |
AMD Phenom II X4 965 BE | 3.4GHz | 2MB | 6MB | 140W | $245 |
AMD Phenom II X4 955 BE | 3.2GHz | 2MB | 6MB | 125W | $245 |
AMD Phenom II X4 945 | 3.0GHz | 2MB | 6MB | 125W | $225 |
AMD Phenom II X3 720 BE | 2.8GHz | 1.5MB | 6MB | 95W | $145 |
AMD Phenom II X2 550 BE | 3.1GHz | 1MB | 6MB | 80W | $105 |
AMD Athlon II X4 630 | 2.8GHz | 2MB | 0MB | 95W | $122 |
AMD Athlon II X4 620 | 2.6GHz | 2MB | 0MB | 95W | $99 |
AMD Athlon II X2 250 | 3.0GHz | 2MB | 0MB | 65W | $87 |
This isn't a harvested Phenom II nor is it a pair of Athlon II X2s, instead it looks like we have a brand new die on our hands (some Athlon II X4s will be crippled Phenom IIs but AMD insists that the new die will be used). The Athlon II X4 has four cores on a single die, but unlike the Athlon II X2 each core only has a 512KB L2 per core. You can tell by the die shot that the core-to-cache ratio is much higher than on the X2:
The 45nm Athlon II X4 Propus die
The 45nm Athlon II X2 die (note the larger L2 per core)
Like the rest of the Athlon II lineup there is no L3 cache. This helps keep the die small (and affordable) but also hurts performance:
Processor | SYSMark 2007 Overall | E-Learning | Video Creation | Productivity | 3D |
AMD Phenom II X4 920 (2.8GHz) | 173 | 151 | 212 | 167 | 167 |
AMD Athlon II X4 630 (2.8GHz) | 157 | 128 | 221 | 131 | 162 |
% of Phenom II X4 | 91% | 85% | 104% | 78% | 97% |
At the same clock speed the Athlon II X4 should offer roughly 90% of the performance of a Phenom II X4.
Processor | Cores | Manufacturing Process | L1 Cache | L2 Cache | L3 Cache | Die Size | Transistor Count |
AMD Phenom II X4 | 4 | 45nm | 128KB per core | 512KB per core | 6MB | 258 mm2 | 758M |
AMD Athlon II X4 | 4 | 45nm | 128KB per core | 512KB per core | 0MB | 169 mm2 | 300M |
AMD Athlon II X2 | 2 | 45nm | 128KB per core | 1MB per core | 0MB | 117 mm2 | 234M |
Intel Core 2 Quad Q8xxx | 4 | 45nm | 64KB per core | 4MB | 0MB | 164 mm2 | 456M |
The price is unbeatable. If we ignore the 630 for a moment, the Athlon II X4 620 is by far the cheapest route to four cores on the market. Intel's most affordable quad-core is the Core 2 Quad Q8200 at $163, while AMD would previously charge you $163 for a Phenom X4 9600B. This is where the AM3/AM2+ compatibility play really helps out. Motherboard/memory costs are as cheap as possible thanks to AMD's incredible socket flexibility.
And just in case you're wondering, yes, the Athlon II X4 620 actually delivers performance competitive with the Q8200 but for 60% of the cost. It's not all that clear cut, there are some cases where the 620 is faster but others where the Q8200 is much faster. On average it ends up being a wash but you'll want to pay attention to the coming pages to see how the cookie crumbles as it does vary from test to test.
Codename Propus
Overclocking isn't unfortunately as good as the Phenom IIs; the result of a conscious design decision or simply the early nature of the Propus die. That being said, without a single extra millivolt I was able to hit 3.25GHz on my Athlon II X4 620 sample - making it even more valuable. Extra voltage proved mostly useless, I could only approach 3.4GHz with an extra 300mV.
Let's see, have I thoroughly ruined the surprise? Check. Now let's get to the tests.

The L2 cache in the Athlon II X4s are the same as the Phenom II X4, 512KB per core, 2MB total. It is only on the Athlon II X2s that the cache was doubled to 1MB per core, 2MB total. Reply -

Oh, OK. I guess I should actually read the charts.
Hmmmmm, I wonder why they overclock so poorly. It doesn't make much sense. You'd think it would use less power, and generate less heat. Strange. Reply -
Anand Lal Shimpi - Wednesday, September 16, 2009 - link
Two options: 1) New die, takes time to get the mix perfect for better yields/higher clock speeds, or 2) the chip isn't using super high frequency/high leakage transistors to maximize performance. It could be designed to hit lower frequencies.
Take care,

The skeptic in me says bad design problems, like the first Phenoms. That could also account for the multiple delays and pushbacks on the Athlon X4s. But in all seriousness, I have no idea. Reply -

Spoke with AMD this morning. The OPN does not indicate whether or not the chip has a disabled L3. It's just luck of the draw, there's no way to tell by looking at the chip itself.

Please upgrade to a more modern x264 benchmark. I'd recommend a recent handbrake snapshot (http://handbrake.fr/snapshot.php)">http://handbrake.fr/snapshot.php). The nehalem optimizations should boost performance dramatically and are a better representation of what people would get with current encoders. Reply -
Anand Lal Shimpi - Wednesday, September 16, 2009 - link
I agree completely, the question is more one of when we make the transition. There's a lot of historical data we need to compare to. You'll see a slow transition to new tests especially with the final version of Windows 7.
Take care,

Lunyone - Wednesday, September 16, 2009 - link
Finally we have quad cores at about $100!! Hope that this will spur on better pricing on all fronts! Go AMD, we need the competition to drive down better pricing. Now only if you would drop down the PhII x4 955/965 pricing to compete better with the i5 750!! Reply

I just moved to Denver area to be near my kids and while property hunting would chk satilite maps on mapquest to give me a sense of the area. I commented to my daughter than the Denver Int Airport looks just like a Swastika. My daughter informed me that conspiracy people say DUMBs (deep underground military base)are under DIA. Well, an internet check showed all kinds of interesting info from contriversial murals to the masonic plaque dedicating DIA as The "New World Airport". Seems many folks think a New World Order is to be useing the DIA airport and with ( Im serious) aliens in the deep underground levels. Well, being retired Im game for a mystery ! The masonic connection got my attention as I am a history buff. the Colorado State House, Denver City Hall, and the open air courtyard they share form an "Armarna" style city of the Aten ( Sun god of egypt). The statehouse is aligned to the four corners of the compass and to the relavant equinox and soltice associated with the Aten.(in keeping with ancient sumarian and egyptian building practices for sacred sites) The setting soltice sun aligns 1x per year when viewed from the statehouse west porticoe ( westward is the egyptian symbol for progression of the soul). The setting sun aligns with the civil war monument ( which is a egyptian obilisk) and the centers over the golden Phoenix atop city hall ( another sun symbol) and the setting sun merges with the golden phoenix ( a ceremonial link to the cyles of death and rebirth as linked to the cycles of the sun). given that a 1000 person masonic choir sang the dedication ceremony, and a masonic govenor performed the masonic rites at the dedication/capstone ceremony) …I was not to surprised….A historical oddity. My daughter and I searched around the statehouse building and found the dedication plaque from the Masonic grand lodge on the northeast corner. North ( a symbol of darkness) and east ( a symbol of light) are a metaphor for the cycles of death and rebirth and the masonic philosophy of consciousness cought in linear time( the fallen state)…..trancendance being the gift to lift consciousness out of linear time via the balance of the subconscious and the conscious minds threw death to self ( the meaning behind the pillars with the sun and moon in masonic temples.) When a mason is asked wat time it is by another mason He is to respond " that there is no time." When I applied legitimate colorado history left by occultist masons to what was being said about the Airport ( incliding its shap as symbol of the black sun…the swastika) and the extesive masonic symbology in the airport, I began to think there is more here than history…a continuing saga,… but to what end? And, why were the people talking about the masonic symbology linking it to UFOs ??? The random words carved in the floor around the dedication plaque at DIA seemed to be clues. Not being from Colorado I looked them up on the net and some refer to the San Luis Valley and Mnt Blanca ( or White Mtn) area. It seems as if the masonic initiates ( or anyone familiar with ancient escoteric symbology) is being directed clandestinely threw symbology from the airport in Denver to San Luis Valley in particular and the lower colorado Plateau in general. This is a coded referance to the Navajo tribal mythology of the four saced mountains of mother earth. These mountains represent the major parts of traditional Navajo religious beliefs, helping them live in harmony with nature and their creator. There are four outer sacred mountains and four inner sacred corners that frame the Colorado Plateau ( I could name if interrested). But why would ancient Egyptian, Masonic, and Navajo traditions converge? Who, in the modern world, would go to so much trouble to encode the location of a physical area via ancient symbology and mythology in a modern airport? Why would assumingly modern people be directed to these ancient sacred lands ? Does any of this have to do with 2012 and expected earth changes or is this all metaphorical? I dont know the answers butI looked up this area (San Luis Valley/ & Mnt Blanca, one of the 4 sacred corners) on the net,… and Lo and Behold : its a UFO and black op helecoptor hotspot ! UFO hunters have even built watch towers! Humm, …now Ive gone from legitimate historical mystery, to conspiracy theory, to UFO phenomenon…..I never thought a good mystery would take me to this, but there it is !! Now, when I go back and search under "Denver airport conspiacy" and read about black ops military, UFOs, and secret societies working together…..it creeps me out !! …..But I wanted to pass what I found on to someone. Thanks for listening, and Im sorry if I rambled on…..Glenn. P.S. the symbology of Denver city flag and seal are masonic. The suburb of Aurora also is awash in masonic symbology. Aurora is another name for the archangel Uriel who gave ancient wisdon to Enoch….Many masonic sources link their ancient wisdom back to Enoch and Uriel. Uriel in hebrew tradition is associated with September, Mars, and to dispensation of knowledge to mankind. The Aurora city seal on every road sign is the glyf for zodiac sign of libra ( the sun in balance with the earth) . In masonic terms this is symbolic of the conscious mind ( sun ) being in balance with the subconscious mind ( earth) …..differant symbology same meaning for the denver seal ( on every road sign) This goes back to the masonic belief in the relativity of time giving the illussionary perception of separateness that can be trancended via death to self ( ego) and balancing of the conscious with the subconscious. The hypnogogic state as being the "gateway" to trancend linear time so as to experience time as not only relative, but in its essence ( the Nash) as happening all at once. I have filled a notebook with observations of masonic symbology both old and recent while house hunting in the area. I dont know what is going on in this area, but your observations about Denver airport are certainly supported by a closer look at this area's symbology and history.

Lending technology, bank organization and competition
This paper reviews recent theoretical and empirical studies investigating how both bank technology and organization shape bank-borrower interactions. We refer to two related concepts for bank technology. First, the technologies banks employ in loan granting decisions and second, the advances in information technology linked to the bank"s lending technology. We also summarize and interpret the theoretical and empirical work on bank organization and its influence on lending technologies. We show that the choice of lending technology and bank organization depend heavily on the availability of information, the technological progress in the collection of information, as well as the banking market structure and the legal environment. We draw important policy conclusions from the literature. Competition authorities and supervisors have to remain alert to the consequences of the introduction of any new technology because: (1) advances in technology do not necessarily lead to more intense banking competition, and (2) the impact of technological and financial innovation on financial efficiency and stability depends on the incentives of the entire "loan production chain."

Greetings, Colleagues.
The 18 flowcharts below are the result of a very intensive two weeks of work for the Advising documentation team on the SIS project. The results are below, though you'll need some patience to go through them. We did not try to capture every detailed variation based on 14 different colleges' ways of doing things. But this team did a pretty good job at capturing what the units have in common for advising-related business process. That was no small feat and the following individuals put in many hours to help me tackle that job:
Gretchen Hart
Jeannette Mautner
Shari Coffey
Adrian Hall
Scott Steger
Anne Hoehn
Jessica King
Linda Arnest
It will take time to "chew" on these business process documents if you are interested. I suggest starting with one that most interests you and spending at least 10 min. or so getting familiar with it before trying to look at the rest. These flowcharts will be used to capture UC's SIS needs from an advising standpoint so the vendors have a sense of our needs before they come to present their products to us for decision this spring. That is the next step in the project. You may also find that these are useful for other purposes as you begin to look over them.
Please let me know if you have any follow up questions.
All my best,
Tara Stopfel Warden

- Title: We Could Be Heroes... A Tribute to Alex & Luna
- Premiered: 2003-04-27
- Categories:
- The Wallflowers Heroes
- Anime:
For many reasons, I will never forget the Lunar series. Long before I was into Final Fantasy, that was the first RPG that really got me. And after searching so long, I finally picked up Lunar 1 & 2 Complete versions. Comparing them to the old Sega CD games from long ago, they are just as good as the previous. Also, during my boredom on the computer, I figuered out something that would benefit me greatly, I can now rip movies off of PSX games. So I decided to test my new skill out by making a music video.
It was kinda hard, but I chose Lunar SSSC because that was the best game I played long before I got my hands on a Final Fantasy game. Since there wasn't a lot to create a general Lunar video, I decided to base this video on the couple of the game, Alex and Luna. Then I listened to "Heroes" on the Godzilla soundtrack, and believed this would be the best one to use. However, since there were so few clips(unlike Final Fantasy for example), it made making this video a little challenging. But eventually in the end, I succeeded and pulled it off. Still wish there were more footage though, And now for your viewing pleasure, I present to you, my Lunar music video! If you played the game before, or if you like couples videos, or whatever, give this one a download!

In the past, I've always been a little nervous about bringing Madeline to his concerts. Maddie Bears are unpredictable. She may start off by listening pleasantly to some John Philip Sousa march. Then next minute she may decide to take her shirt off in the middle of Handel's Messiah. It's not that kind of concert, Madeline.
Just a man and his trombone... |
Yet, as she gets older, she really looks forward to watching her daddy's shows, so I try to take her as often as I can. On Sunday, she was so excited that she couldn't settle down for her nap. Instead she spent two hours jumping up and down in her crib, calling out, "We see Dada's concert!" from time to time. We've got a future band geek on our hands.
As an added bonus, my parents and sister's family were able to make it to the ceremony too, which allowed Madeline to visit with her cousin. Not only are they the closest cousins in age, but they are also the only two girl cousins.
At first, they sat side by side like demure little angels. They kept their ankles crossed and their hands clasped in their laps. Every now and again, they'd cast shy little smiles and sideways glances at one another.
By the end of the concert, they were dancing like maniacs in the aisles. Well, my niece danced. Madeline still mostly hops to express herself.
After the concert, we watched the tree light up on the town common before walking around a bit to see the local landmarks. Even though I grew up in town, and Eric has been playing this gig for several years now, this was the first time I'd actually been to the tree lighting.
When Katie Belle got her face painted, Madeline watched curiously from the sidelines. As soon as Katie was done, Maddie strode right up there for her turn. Monkey see. Monkey do.
We've been using this admiration to our advantage the last couple of days.
"Madeline, you don't want to put on your coat? But this was Katie Belle's coat. She gave it to you!" On goes the jacket.
"Madeline, you don't want to use the potty? All big girls use the potty. I bet Katie Belle does!" Off to the potty she goes.
Thanks, Katie Belle. You're helping out big!

Republicans Said to Insist on Conditions to End Shutdown
James Rowley and Roxana TironHouse Republicans offered a plan to raise the U.S. debt limit and end a partial government shutdown that would require the president to accept policy conditions attached to a spending measure, said two congressional aides.
Republicans sent a list of policy options to the White House following a meeting yesterday, said the aides, who spoke on condition of anonymity. President Barack Obama has insisted that he won't accept conditions for ending the shutdown, which is in its 11th day.
"There will be some matters that we're discussing now that would be added to that, hopefully," Representative Hal Rogers of Kentucky, chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, said in an interview today. "I hope there's specific matters but that's under discussion."
House Republicans also want Obama to agree to a framework for future negotiations on long-term fiscal and health-care policy. If that happens, the House could vote as soon as today on pushing the lapse of U.S. borrowing authority to Nov. 22 from Oct. 17, according to the aides, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the private offer.
Staff members for Obama and House Speaker John Boehner worked into the night yesterday after Boehner proposed a short-term debt limit increase. That step back from the brink triggered the biggest rise in U.S. stocks in nine months. The developments yesterday were the first sign that the president and congressional Republicans may resolve the fiscal impasse and remove the prospect of default.
'Good Discussion'
Obama met today with Senate Republicans, who left the White House without talking to reporters. On Twitter, Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa said it was a "very good discussion" about the shutdown.
"Hope I'm surprised there may be progress," he said.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said today he is open to hearing Republican proposals, though he doesn't like the idea of extending U.S. borrowing authority only to Nov. 22. Reid said he would continue advocating a delay of the next debt-limit fight into 2015.
"Using their theory, we would have another one of these periods of bedlam here in Washington right before the most important purchasing season anytime during the year," Reid said, referring to the holiday shopping season, without saying he would stop a short-term extension.
Financial Markets
The financial markets, which have weathered fiscal brinkmanship at least four times since Republicans gained the House majority in January 2011, so far have taken Washington's dysfunction in stride. Treasury Secretary Jacob J. Lew warned in testimony to lawmakers yesterday that "uncertainty" over the debt limit is starting to stress financial markets.
The Standard & Poor's 500 Index increased 0.6 percent to 1,702.86 at 12:22 p.m. in New York, erasing losses since the start of the government's partial shutdown that began Oct. 1.
Rates on Treasury bills due Oct. 17 fell seven basis points to 0.24 after touching 0.51 percent yesterday, according to Bloomberg Bond Trader prices. The benchmark 10-year Treasury yield fell one basis point to 2.67 percent.
Any prospective deal faces questions, including whether Boehner can make a deal with Obama without losing the support of his hard-line members. They've sought to use the debt ceiling and government shutdown to force curbs on Obamacare and federal spending.
Republicans should just concede and allow a vote to end the shutdown without conditions, said Representative Peter King, a New York Republican.
Cut 'Losses'
"We should cut our losses and get it over with," King said in an interview today. "It's madness to keep the government closed any longer. It's a governmental disaster, it's a political disaster and it makes no sense."
Obama began yesterday's meeting by acknowledging that Republican leaders' offer to extend the debt limit was a positive step while urging them to stop the shutdown, according to a Democratic official who asked not to be identified discussing the closed-door deliberations.
The Republican lawmakers responded by saying that they needed concessions, the official said. Obama said he would consider what they want so long as they weren't making demands as a condition for a spending bill that would allow federal agencies to resume operations.
'Long-Term Problem'
Senator Ron Johnson, a Wisconsin Republican, said at a Bloomberg breakfast today that lawmakers were using the debt ceiling for leverage because "how else can you get those people -- the president, Democrats in the Senate and the House -- to come to the table and start working with you in good faith to solve a long-term problem?"
Under Boehner's plan, the Treasury Department wouldn't be able to use so-called extraordinary measures to further extend borrowing authority, creating a hard deadline, said Representative Tom Reed, a New York Republican.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of California said ending the extraordinary measures "isn't very smart" because it would limit Treasury's flexibility.
If the U.S. fails to raise the debt limit by Oct. 17, the government will have $30 billion plus incoming revenue to pay its bills. It would start missing scheduled payments, including benefits, salaries and interest, between Oct. 22 and Oct. 31, according to the Congressional Budget Office.
Meanwhile, Senate Democrats are pressing ahead with their preferred plan, which would push the next debt-limit fight into 2015 and include no policy conditions. A test vote could occur tomorrow.
Six Republicans
Democrats, who control 54 seats in the 100-member Senate, would need the support of at least six Republicans on procedural votes to pass their bill.
Reid's proposal would suspend the debt ceiling through Dec. 31, 2014. Because the Treasury Department can use extraordinary measures to stave off default, another increase wouldn't be needed until sometime in 2015. The previous debt-limit suspension expired on May 18 and the extraordinary measures are lasting five months.
Senate Republicans also are considering a plan, being developed by Susan Collins of Maine, that would pair provisions to raise the debt ceiling and end the shutdown with a repeal of a medical-device tax included in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
Democrats, even those who support repealing the medical device tax, have been adamant that they will refuse to do so as part of an agreement to end the shutdown or raise the debt ceiling.
Early Support
A Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll released yesterday found that 53 percent of those surveyed blamed Republicans for the fiscal impasse, compared with 31 percent who blame Obama.
The shutdown would pare 0.2 percentage point from U.S. economic growth if it lasts through this week and as much as 0.5 point if it continues another two weeks, according to the median estimate in a Bloomberg survey of economists.
Republicans are debating what policy conditions they will insist upon. House Republicans are backing away from demanding major changes to the 2010 health-care law.
The government shutdown started Oct. 1 after Republicans insisted that further funding for many programs be tied to a one-year delay in the mandate that individuals lacking health insurance purchase it.

Annual Fire Alarm Inspections Scheduled
The tests will be performed in buildings across campus and include brief inspections of all University buildings' horns and strobe lighting.
In coordination with the Department of Public Safety, Simplex Grinnell will be performing annual fire alarm inspections on the following schedule.
Note that all inspections will be done silently for the majority of the inspection. However by code all audibles in each of our buildings need to be tested. The audible tests will be performed at the end of the inspection for a brief 4-5 minutes in order to minimize the disturbance this may cause to normal business. These audible tests will consist of the building horns and strobes going off while the inspectors walk the buildings to insure all audibles are sounding properly.
Note also that the schedule could take place over more than one day and vary by a day or two in some cases. Updates to the schedule will be published in future editions of Newslink.

Neil (Ben Affleck) is an American traveling in Europe who meets and falls in love with Marina (Olga Kurylenko), a Ukrainian divorcee who is raising her 10-year-old daughter Tatiana in Paris. The lovers travel to Mont St. Michel, the island abbey off the coast of Normandy, basking in the wonder of their newfound romance. Neil makes a commitment to Marina, inviting her to relocate to his native Oklahoma with Tatiana. He takes a job as an environmental inspector and Marina settles into her new life in America with passion and vigor. After a holding pattern, their relationship cools.
Marina finds solace in the company of another exile, the Catholic priest Father Quintana (Javier Bardem), who is undergoing a crisis of faith. Work pressures and increasing doubt pull Neil further apart from Marina, who returns to France with Tatiana when her visa expires. Neil reconnects with Jane (Rachel McAdams), an old flame. They fall in love until Neil learns that Marina has fallen on hard times. Gripped by a sense of responsibility and his own crisis of faith he rekindles with Marina after another trip to France. She returns with him to Oklahoma, resuming her American life. But the old sorrows eventually return.
Malick has concocted a deeply moving visual language intermingling love, nature and spirit all things work together for the good, as one character in To the Wonder proclaims that ranks among his most personal and heartfelt works.
Andrea Houchard and Matt Goodwin from Philosophy in the Public Interest and the Northern Arizona University Philosophy Department will lead a discussion following the film screening.

Ok so I've been trying the past 6 hours to install nginx, php & mysql on my debian squeeze vps but with no luck. I did this before on ubuntu, also with da guide from this site and got everything up and running in minutes so I'm not sure what's the problem here. Anyway, my problem now: Some files work, others don't. So I created 3 files with the following permissions and the only file that can be parsed is info.php. I know this is a permission issue but I don't know how to fix it. Also, I would like access with other users except root & www-data to the www folder (it's located in /home/wouterds/www in my configuration). Please feel free to try it yourself: http://paradox-productions.net/ Permissions: Sorry for the weird post and my bad English but I'm really stressed at the moment it still doesn't work and it's so easy to do. Thanks in advance, WouterDS
Do you talk about the nginx guides from Falko timme or the perfects etup ispconfig 3 / nginx for Ubuntu? If yes, then the nginx version in Debian squeeze is too old for the setup described there. If you want to use debian, you will have to use debian testing.
Hello, thank you for your reply. I used this guide, thought I mentioned it in the post but apparently I didn't. http://www.howtoforge.com/installing-nginx-with-php5-and-mysql-support-on-debian-squeeze
Ahh ok, that one should work on squeeze of course, its a different setup then the one used on the perfect setup guides.
So have you any idea how to fix it? I have reinstalled different OS's on this VPS the past 3 days and I'm really going nuts if I have to reinstall everything again .
Is there a tutorial for installing nginx, php & mysql on Ubuntu 10.04? Can't find it :/ Edit: sorry for the double post
http://www.howtoforge.com/installing-nginx-with-php-5.3-and-php-fpm-on-ubuntu-lucid-lynx-10.04 http://www.howtoforge.com/installin...u-lucid-lynx-10.04-without-compiling-anything
Thank you very much, used that tutorial of the perfect server and everything works perfect ! This topic can be closed.

Against the Institution: A Warning for 'Occupy Wall Street' by Andrew Gavin Marshall
Posted on the 03 October 2011 by Devondb @Devon_D_BWhile I fully endorse the efforts and actions of the Occupy Wall Street protests, now emerging internationally, there are concerns which need to be addressed and kept in mind as the movement moves forward.The process through which a potentially powerful movement may be co-opted and controlled is slight and subtle. If Occupy Wall Street hopes to strive for the 99%, it must not submit to the 1%, in any capacity.The Occupy movement must prevent what happened to the Tea Party movement to happen to it. Whatever ideological stance you may have, the Tea Party movement started as a grass roots movement, largely a result of anti-Federal Reserve protests. They were quickly co-opted with philanthropic money and political party endorsements.For the Occupy Movement to build up and become a true force for change, it must avoid and reject the organizational and financial 'contributions' of institutions: be they political parties, non-profits, or philanthropic foundations. The efforts are subtle, but effective: they seek to organize, professionalize, and institutionalize a movement, push forward the issues they desire, which render the movement useless for true liberation, as these are among the very institutions the movement should be geared against.This is not simply about "Wall Street," this is about POWER. Those who have power, and those who don't. When those who have power offer a hand in your struggle, their other hand holds a dagger. Remain grassroots, remain decentralized, remain outside and away from party politics, remain away from financial dependence. Freedom is not merely in the aim, it's in the action.The true struggle is not left versus right, democrat versus republican, liberal versus conservative, or libertarian versus socialist. The true struggle is that of people against the institution: the State, the banks, the central banking system, the corporation, the international financial institutions, the military, the political parties, the mainstream media, philanthropic foundations, think tanks, university, education, psychiatry, the legal system, the church, et. al.The transfer of power from one institution to another does not solve the crisis of our 'institutional society,' whereby a few have come to dominate so much, to concentrate so much power at the expense of everyone else having so little. True liberation will result only from opposition to 'the institution' as an entity. Placating power from one institution to another renders resistance ineffective. The power structures must be discredited, and power must be distributed to the people, through voluntary associations, communal groupings, and people-powered (and people-funded!) initiatives.In order to survive as a movement, money will become a necessity. Do not turn to the non-profits and philanthropic foundations for support. The philanthropies, which fund and created the non-profits and NGOs, were themselves created to engage in 'social engineering': to 'manufacture consent' among the governed, and create consensus among the governors. The philanthropies (particularly those of Carnegie, Ford, and Rockefeller) fund social movements and protest organizations so as to steer them into directions which are safe for the elites. The philanthropies are themselves run by the elite, founded by bankers and industrialists striving to preserve their place at the top of the social structure in the midst of potentially revolutionary upheaval. As the president of the Ford Foundation once said, "Everything the foundation does is to make the world safe for capitalism."Money from philanthropies will organize the movement into a more professionalized entity, will direct its efforts around the promotion of legalistic reform, making slight changes to the system's symptoms, promoting particular legislation, rallying around very specific issues removed from their global historical context. The effect is to turn anti-system revolutionaries into legalistic reformers. With such funding, movement organizers are drawn into the world of NGOs, international conferences, international institutions, aid agencies, and mainstream political participation. The leaders of the movement become professionalized and successful, both in prestige and finances. Thus, their own personal position becomes dependent upon promoting reform, not revolution; on maintaining the system (with minor changes to the aesthetic), not moving against it. The movement itself, then, would be institutionalized.For the finances to grow without the threat of institutional dominance, the money must come from the people. A truly populist cause could be funded by the people. Keep the people in charge.If we truly want freedom and liberation, we must begin to act free and liberated. If we want the 'true liberation,' we must understand the true system of power that confines, oppresses, segregates, exploits, impoverishes, and controls us. It is not a matter of the state or the banks or the corporations. It is a matter of the institution, itself. The structures of power must be struggled against so that we may come to liberate humanity from all that confines it, and experience what our true 'human nature' is.If one studies mice in a maze, no matter for how long or what the maze is built of, looks like, feels like, you cannot deduce the nature of the mouse separate from that of the maze. Break down the maze and you may observe the true nature of the mouse. We have been living, always, within a maze. The walls are constructed as institutions which direct, steer, manipulate, define and segregate us from one another.First we must tear down the barriers that bind us from ourselves, and then we may truly understand what it is to be human and free.

My goal was 0, but I had no choice once, then I went and bought some immodium, problem solved.
I feel bad for whoever went in there after me though.
Poop in the morning or at night, duh.
First time ever I think NO DUMPS @ COACHELLA!
I'm in the worst shape of my life so I think my body went into starvation mode or something and didn't wanna waste any food so held onto it longer... I normally dump after each meal "out w/the old and in w/the new" ... drank a lot more beer this year too...
"conversation is a game of circles and i'm getting dizzy-- bye"
I had a normal 2-3 a day, until Sunday I tried a date shake 6 times by noon... Luckily it ended and I only went twice after that.
immodium ad ain't just for diarrhea, i pop a pill each morning of coachella. then by the next morning, when all the porta potties(i actually use the ac'd trailers) have been cleaned, you are ready to unleash the previous days beast.
Twice, one time i made a pyramid of poop.
I have yet to unleash my natures bounty in the 7 years i've attended
You're so full of shit.

I gained 4 pounds over the weekend, cuz the poop had to stay in.
I just double up on my Depends.
For all intensive porpoises presale finally sold out
How about Mr. Hairygoomba?
I was trying to eat healthy, at least in the morning, and I was remarkably regular all weekend.
"Remarkably regular." It was a porta potty, not a wine tasting, Marc.
"Who is this doing this synthetic type of Alpha Beta psychedelic funkin'?"
I poop any where mother nature allows me to poop. As long as I'm not mauled by a cougar.
Then you should probably stay away from the Outdoor Theatre restrooms.

Many People Don't Take Their High Blood Pressure Meds: Study
Posted 7 Mar 2017 by Drugs.com
MONDAY, March 6, 2017 – Only 20 percent of patients seeking care for stubborn high blood pressure take all the medicine they're supposed to, a new Dutch study finds. "Another 20 percent are not taking any of their blood pressure medications," study senior author Dr. Peter Blankestijn said in an American Heart Association news release. As a result, patients sought care for a condition they could have addressed by simply following their doctor's orders, the findings suggested. "People mistakenly thought to have resistant hypertension – which is high blood pressure despite taking three or more medications – end up seeing specialists and undergoing extra tests because we don't understand why they are so difficult to treat," said Blankestijn. He is a professor of nephrology and hypertension at the University Medical Center Utrecht in the Netherlands. The researchers didn't set out to ... Read more

Heart Disease Affects Far More Than the Heart
Posted 14 Feb 2017 by Drugs.com
TUESDAY, Feb. 14, 2017 – Heart disease affects more than just the heart. It also can take a toll on the legs, feet, kidneys and even the brain, according to vascular surgery experts. Heart disease is a general term, usually linked to arteriosclerosis or "hardening of the arteries," the Society for Vascular Surgery explained. Arteriosclerosis is a progressive disease in which plaque builds up in the arteries. As the arteries become blocked, it becomes harder for oxygen-rich blood to flow throughout the body, said Dr. Ali AbuRahma, secretary of the society. AbuRahma is also chief of vascular-endovascular surgery at West Virginia University's Robert C. Byrd Health Sciences Center. Peripheral artery disease (PAD) develops when heart disease affects the legs and feet. This condition affects about 8.5 million people in the United States, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and ... Read more

Know Your Heart's Numbers
Posted 7 Feb 2017 by Drugs.com
TUESDAY, Feb. 7, 2017 – More than two-thirds of Americans fret about heart disease, but few know the specific information that can help them boost their heart health, a new survey finds. "Studies have suggested the majority of coronary artery disease events can be prevented by addressing treatable risk factors," said Dr. Steve Nissen, chair of cardiovascular medicine at the Cleveland Clinic. "That means, a little knowledge regarding your 'numbers' could go a long way to helping keep your heart healthy and avoiding future problems," he added in a clinic news release. Treatable risk factors for heart disease include blood pressure, cholesterol, body mass index (BMI - an estimate of body fat based on height and weight), waist circumference, blood sugar and weight. The telephone survey of just over 1,000 adults, aged 18 and older, found that 68 percent were worried about heart disease. But ... Read more

Exercise May Help Black Americans Lower Blood Pressure Risk
Posted 31 Jan 2017 by Drugs.com
MONDAY, Jan. 30, 2017 – Regular sports or exercise may lower black Americans' risk of high blood pressure, a new study finds. The new research included more than 1,300 black people living in or near Jackson, Miss. Black Americans have a higher risk of high blood pressure than other racial groups in the United States, the researchers noted. At the start of the study, volunteers had normal blood pressure and their average age was in the late 40s. During about eight years of follow-up, nearly half developed high blood pressure, also known as hypertension, the investigators found. The risk of high blood pressure was 16 percent lower among those with intermediate levels of physical activity (less than the recommended 150 minutes per week of moderate-intensity exercise) compared with those who didn't exercise at all, the findings showed. High blood pressure risk was 24 percent lower among ... Read more

Hispanics, Blacks Less Likely to Get High Blood Pressure Treatment: Study
Posted 17 Jan 2017 by Drugs.com
TUESDAY, Jan. 17, 2017 – Black and Hispanic Americans are less likely than whites to get high blood pressure under control, a new study suggests. Researchers reviewed data from nearly 8,800 adults who took part in the 2003-2012 U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. The study team found that 74 percent of white patients were getting treatment for high blood pressure. For blacks, the treatment rates were slightly lower at 71 percent. For Hispanics, the high blood pressure treatment rate was only 61 percent. Researchers also looked at high blood pressure control rates, defined as readings below 130/80 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) for those with diabetes or chronic kidney disease, and below 140/90 mm Hg for everyone else. Control rates were 43 percent for whites, 37 percent for blacks and 31 percent for Hispanics, the study reported. Black and Hispanics younger than 60 ... Read more

High Blood Pressure May Not Be All Bad in the Elderly: Study
Posted 17 Jan 2017 by Drugs.com
TUESDAY, Jan. 17, 2017 – Developing high blood pressure in very old age may provide some protection from dementia, a new study suggests. In middle age, high blood pressure – also called hypertension – boosts dementia risk later in life, said study lead researcher Maria Corrada. It also raises your risk for heart attack and stroke. But its onset in the eighth or ninth decade of life was linked to lower risk of mental decline in one's 90s, her team found. "Hypertension in the very old is not detrimental for mental health," said Corrada, a professor of neurology and epidemiology at the University of California, Irvine. Several factors may help explain the apparent association between late-life high blood pressure and lower dementia risk, Corrada said. For one, as people age, blood pressure may need to increase to keep blood flowing to the brain for normal functioning. "It's a matter of ... Read more

Medical Groups Raise Blood Pressure Rx Threshold for Healthy Adults Over 60
Posted 17 Jan 2017 by Drugs.com
MONDAY, Jan. 16, 2017 – Two leading medical organizations are recommending a less aggressive target for the treatment of high blood pressure in adults 60 and older who are otherwise healthy. Traditionally, the threshold for high blood pressure has been set at 140 mmHg systolic blood pressure (the top number in a reading). But the new guideline says doctors should now begin treatment when adults 60 and older have persistent systolic blood pressure that's at or above 150 mmHg, to reduce their risk of heart problems, stroke and death. A less aggressive target like this offers a suitable balance of benefits and potential harms for these patients, according to the new guideline from the American College of Physicians (ACP) and the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP). Any additional benefit from more aggressive treatment is small, the groups say. Doctors specializing in the cardiac ... Read more

Beta Blockers May Not Be Best Heart Drugs for Dementia Patients
Posted 12 Dec 2016 by Drugs.com
MONDAY, Dec. 12, 2016 – Beta blocker drugs are often the go-to medication for people who've survived a heart attack. But a new study suggests that they may not be the medicine of choice for nursing home residents with dementia. Taking the drugs reduced the risk of death during the study period by about a quarter, the researchers said. But the drugs were also associated with 34 percent higher risk that a patient with moderate or severe dementia would be unable to independently perform the functions of daily life. One heart expert who reviewed the findings said the study supports the notion that there's no "one-size-fits-all" approach to cardiovascular care. The findings highlight "the importance of personalizing medical care for an individual elderly patient following a heart attack," said Dr. Kevin Marzo. He is chief of cardiology at Winthrop-University Hospital in Mineola, N.Y. ... Read more

Yoga Called Good Medicine for High Blood Pressure
Posted 8 Dec 2016 by Drugs.com
THURSDAY, Dec. 8, 2016 – Yoga may help reduce blood pressure in people who are at risk for developing hypertension, a new study finds. "Patients with pre-hypertension [slightly elevated blood pressure] are likely to develop hypertension [high blood pressure] unless they improve their lifestyle," said study author Dr. Ashutosh Angrish. He is a cardiologist at Sir Gangaram Hospital in Delhi, India. "Both pre-hypertension and high blood pressure increase the risk of heart attack, stroke and heart failure," Angrish added. The new study included 60 people who had slightly elevated blood pressure but were otherwise healthy. The participants were randomly assigned to either practice hatha yoga while also making conventional lifestyle changes, or to just make the lifestyle changes (the "control" group). The lifestyle changes included moderate aerobic exercise, eating a healthier diet and ... Read more

Normal Blood Pressure in Clinic May Mask Hypertension
Posted 5 Dec 2016 by Drugs.com
MONDAY, Dec. 5, 2016 – It's commonly believed that anxiety in the doctor's office causes patients' blood pressure to rise. But for some people, the opposite occurs: Their blood pressure is normal at their medical appointment but elevated the rest of the day. This phenomenon is called "masked hypertension." The best way to uncover it is to wear a small monitoring device for 24 hours, researchers said. For this new study, the researchers had almost 900 healthy, middle-aged patients do just that. The result: Almost 16 percent who had "normal" blood pressure at the clinic learned otherwise after around-the-clock monitoring. "In working individuals who are not being treated for hypertension [high blood pressure], our data show that ambulatory blood pressure is usually higher than clinic blood pressure," said lead researcher Joseph Schwartz. He is a professor of psychiatry and sociology at ... Read more

High Blood Pressure Rates Have Doubled Worldwide Since 1975
Posted 16 Nov 2016 by Drugs.com
WEDNESDAY, Nov. 16, 2016 – The number of people worldwide with high blood pressure has nearly doubled over the past 40 years, a new study reveals. At the same time, average blood pressure levels are at an all-time low in the United States and other developed nations, the researchers said. "High blood pressure is the leading risk factor for stroke and heart disease, and kills around 7.5 million people worldwide every year. Most of these deaths are experienced in the developing world," said study author Majid Ezzati, a professor at Imperial College, London in England. "Taken globally, high blood pressure is no longer a problem of the Western world or wealthy countries. It is a problem of the world's poorest countries and people," Ezzati added. The overall number of people with high blood pressure ("hypertension") rose from 594 million in 1975 to more than 1 billion in 2015, due to ... Read more

'White Coat' High Blood Pressure May Signal Trouble in Older People
Posted 31 Oct 2016 by Drugs.com
MONDAY, Oct. 31, 2016 – So-called "white coat hypertension" is mostly harmless, but in some older people it may indicate a risk for heart disease, a new study suggests. White coat hypertension refers to high blood pressure readings in a doctor's office or other medical setting in people who typically have normal blood pressure. This study included 653 people with white coat hypertension and 653 with normal blood pressure. All of the study volunteers were followed for more than 10 years. During that time, there was no difference in the number of new heart problems in either group for people younger than 60. However, among 92 people aged 60 and older, there were 18 more new heart problem cases among those with white coat hypertension than in those without, according to researchers, led by Dr. Stanley Franklin from University of California, Irvine. Franklin's team said the findings ... Read more

Tighter Blood Pressure Control Could Save 100,000 U.S. Lives: Study
Posted 15 Sep 2016 by Drugs.com
THURSDAY, Sept. 15, 2016 – Engaging Americans at high risk for heart disease in aggressive efforts to lower their blood pressure could save more than 100,000 lives a year, a new analysis indicates. Current guidelines recommend a systolic pressure – the top number in a blood pressure reading – of below 140 mm Hg. But a 2015 study from the U.S. National Institutes of Health suggested more lives could be saved if the goal was less than 120 mm Hg. The NIH trial known as SPRINT included adults aged 50 and older with systolic readings of 130 to 180 mm Hg and at high risk of heart disease (but not diabetes or stroke). They had either intensive treatment, with a goal of lowering systolic pressure to less than 120 mm Hg, or standard treatment, with a target of less than 140 mm Hg. The results were so impressive that the NIH halted the trial early. Risk of death from all causes was 27 percent ... Read more

Do Angioplasty Patients Really Need Beta-Blocker Drugs?
Posted 16 Aug 2016 by Drugs.com
TUESDAY, Aug. 16, 2016 – Doctors might be overprescribing beta-blocker medications to heart patients who aren't seriously ill, a new study contends. Beta blockers such as Inderal (propranolol) and Lopressor (metoprolol) reduce blood pressure and control abnormal heart rhythms. They're lifesaving when given to patients who've had a heart attack or have heart failure, said study co-author Dr. Valay Parikh. He is a cardiology fellow with North Shore LIJ-Staten Island University Hospital, in Staten Island, N.Y. But these drugs do not appear to help patients who haven't had a heart attack or have heart failure, even if they did need angioplasty – surgery to clear a blocked artery that caused chest pain, Parikh and his colleagues report. "Beta blocker therapy should be individualized, and these medications should not be given blindly to everyone," Parikh concluded. "They should be properly ... Read more

More Support for Lower Blood Pressure Goals
Posted 9 Dec 2015 by Drugs.com
WEDNESDAY, Dec. 9, 2015 – Intensive treatment to lower blood pressure below currently recommended levels reduces the risk of heart attack and stroke in patients with high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes and kidney disease, a new study shows. Effective blood pressure goals have been the subject of much recent scientific debate, with another recent study also supporting lower targets. For this study, researchers analyzed data from 19 clinical trials that included nearly 45,000 people. They wanted to assess the potential benefits and safety of pushing systolic blood pressure in high-risk patients below the current target of 140. Systolic is the top number in a blood pressure reading. Compared to those who received standard treatment, average systolic pressure was 6.8 lower and diastolic blood pressure was 4.5 lower in patients who received more intensive treatment – 133.2/76.4 ...

More common sense law
Read this about what Ministerial Services had to do, just to check if it could put a Minister's press release up on the Beehive website:
Brendan Boyle, Secretary of Internal Affairs, revealed that his department had sought legal advice on how to handle press statements put out by ministers' offices since the new law.
He said an in-house legal team had provided the advice, with involvement from Crown Law, the Parliamentary Service and the State Services Commission.
That good old law of common sense strikes again. I mean seriously lawyers from four agencies to set up guidelines on press releases going on a website!
