Risk for heart disease rises when workers drink, smoke or overeat
MONDAY, May 13, 2013 (HealthDay News) -- Job stress increases the risk of heart disease, but living a healthy lifestyle can significantly reduce that risk, a new study says.
Researchers examined data from more than 102,000 men and women, aged 17 to 70, in the United Kingdom, France, Belgium, Sweden and Finland. Their lifestyles were rated in one of three categories -- healthy, moderately unhealthy or unhealthy -- based on smoking, alcohol consumption, exercise/inactivity and obesity.
Those with a healthy lifestyle had no lifestyle risk factors, while people with a moderately unhealthy lifestyle had one risk factor. Two or more risk factors qualified as an unhealthy lifestyle.
Nearly 16 percent of the participants reported job stress, according to the study, which was published May 13 in the Canadian Medical Association Journal.
Over 10 years, the rate of coronary artery disease was 18.4 per 1,000 for people with job stress and 14.7 per 1,000 for those without job stress. The rate of heart disease for people with an unhealthy lifestyle was almost 31 per 1,000 compared to 12 per 1,000 for those with a healthy lifestyle.
When lifestyle and work were factored together, the heart disease rate was 31.2 per 1,000 for people with job stress and an unhealthy lifestyle and about 15 per 1,000 for those with job stress and a healthy lifestyle.
"The risk of coronary artery disease was highest among participants who reported job strain and an unhealthy lifestyle; those with job strain and a healthy lifestyle had about half the rate of this disease," Dr. Mika Kivimaki, of the department of epidemiology and public health at University College London, and colleagues wrote in a journal news release.
"These observational data suggest that a healthy lifestyle could substantially reduce the risk of coronary artery disease risk among people with job strain," they added.
Stress counseling isn't enough, they said. "Clinicians might consider paying closer attention to lifestyle risk factors in patients who report job strain," the researchers concluded.

It's not often that folk actually pay to read what I think, and rarer still when they post a considered comment about what I've written, so I'm doubly honoured to have received the following thoughts tonight on a post that was included in the book Guts Pose in which I made a throwaway statement that Japan had suffered "Atomic genocide"…
First up, let me say I enjoyed this diary immensely. I bought it on Amazon and read it on New Years Eve whilst the in-laws were engrossed in the dreary annual Kohaku performance (yes, my wife is Japanese).
That said, I wish to raise a point of order. I take strong issue with your reference to "atomic genocide".
What exactly is it about the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki that qualifies as "genocide"?
A tragic waste of human life? Without question. But more Japanese died during the March 9th, 1945 conventional bombing raid on Tokyo. Was that also a "genocide"? And if so how should we view the entire air war against the Japan homelands? Should that be classed as "genocide" in it's entirety?
Bear in mind that the city of Kyoto was spared from bombing during the war as it was considered a city of extreme cultural significance to the Japanese nation. It is a strange kind of genocide that spares the cultural icons of a target nation, wouldn't you agree.
Rather, I suggest to you that the air war INCLUDING the two atomic bombings, whilst horrific to the victims, should be seem as ultimately forcing the Japanese High Command to face reality, thereby averting the further deaths of potentially 10 million Japanese civilians.
Alternative history doesn't get taught in schools so very few people know that possibly the bloodiest battle of the Pacific War was the one that was never fought — Operation Downfall — the Allied invasion of the Japanese home islands. The Imperial HQ was readying children, women and old men to banzai charge American machine guns and tanks armed with nothing more than sharp bamboo sticks.
In short, I believe that characterizing the atomic bombings as "genocide" is inaccurate, unfair to the people who actually fought during those times, and demeans the experience of peoples who actually HAVE suffered real genocide such as the Jews, Armenians and Rwandans.
This is my opinion and I sincerely hope that it is published, not as a criticism, but to put perspective on an important historical event which gets misrepresented so often by Japanese and the Japanese media.
Thank you.
Saitama SteveOn reflection, I agree "genocide" was a poor choice of word. I was trying to find the right one to describe the enormity of the killing of tens of thousands of civilians in one moment. Genocide is the attempt to eradicate a race or nation, and that was not what the Allies were about. And I take what Saitama Steve said about potentially averting millions more casualties that the mass killings of civilians presumably prevented. That was presumably true.
So, what is the right word to describe all that? I'm really not sure.
No disrespect to Saitama Steve, whose argument is entirely reasonable and valid, but stacking up the horrors of war as being less horrific than what might have happened had those horrors not been perpetrated makes my head hurt. Such arguments seem to me to be more political calculations than moral ones.
Had a sniper been able to kill the Connecticut nutter before he had killed the 26 school kids and teachers, of course the only clear moral thing to do would be to take the bloody shot. The morality gets a bit foggier if in taking that shot you knew you'd also be killing five kids in the line of fire. Is taking the lives of five innocents worth saving two dozen? How about 12 innocents? How about 26 innocent lives to save 26 others? What if the good guys were not armed with a sniper's rifle but a Predator drone? How many Pakistani wedding party guests is it moral to kill in pursuit of one terrorist? Or an alleged terrorist? When does the pursuit of alleged terrorists become terrorism itself?
I don't know.
The political answer is the ends justify the means. And that's good enough for most questions. I'm not smart enough to figure out if that is a good enough moral argument, I suspect it isn't. Had Japan won the war, would the Rape of Nanking be justified as an unpleasant but necessary oppression that by hastening the subjugation of a country saved countless millions of lives of civilians in the future? Seems absurd. And yet rational. We destroyed this village to save it.
What's the right word? Horror? Tragedy? Pragmatic Morality? Atrocity? Politics?
All of the above.
More from me about all this from three years ago in this post and comments.
Carry on.

The Army continues to pick up speed in implementing enterprise e-mail, with more than 120,000 e-mail accounts migrated as of Sept. 30, according to Army CIO/G-6 spokesperson Margaret McBride.
An operational pause on the migration process, which was put in place in July to deal with problems in the Army IT networks, was lifted Sept. 6.
Related coverage:

Army pauses e-mail migration while it cleans up its network
"As a result of our efforts, we are prepared to resume migrations and are positioned to return to a migration pace that should result in a 2QFY12 completion of Army NIPRNet users," Maj. Gen. Jennifer Napper, commander of Army Network Enterprise Technology Command/Ninth Signal Command, wrote in a memo posted to the CIO/G-6 blog by deputy Army CIO Mike Krieger.
"Our October schedule is ambitious, but the Army and [Defense Information Systems Agency enterprise e-mail] migration team is poised for the Pacific, Europe and [contiguous U.S.] locations scheduled for migration," Napper wrote.
The Army's schedule has the enterprise e-mail migration completed by roughly March 2012, according to Donald Adcock, director of the Army IT Agency, whose office is already on the DISA-provided enterprise e-mail system.
"In the last 30 or so days in enterprise email, even greater improvements have been made. I think we're starting to see some stabilization in the enterprise e-mail environment and I really do think the Army and DISA have worked hard to work through the initial issues that they've put out on the table," Adcock said in a Pentagon briefing with reporters on Sept. 27. His agency has been heavily involved in the migration process, Adcock added.
"I would say that five months ago we had a lot to learn about migrations and how to do mass migrations rapidly. I think that we had a lot to learn about triaging and setting up accounts and then actually handling trouble calls," he said. "In the early stages there were some latency issues; but I fully believe the Army's leaned very forward, working with [the Defense Information Systems Agency] on many, many, many of these issues and I think they're making progress every day."
The Army's initial goal was for Army Department Headquarters to be moved to the enterprise e-mail system first, with the rest of the Army to follow, but the problems along the way meant required a change of plans.
"I think it's fair to say that in the beginning, as the service provider and the director of [our] part of the business, I could not have gone forward to the Army principal leadership and said that the environment was for one, stable enough, and two, that the [tactics, techniques and procedures] on how to deal with the environment were well-enough developed to allow my workforce to react to simple things," he said.
Lt. Gen. Susan Lawrence, Army CIO/G-6, has been vocal about the network problems her team has tackled in cleaning up a "dirty network" that had many issues with inconsistency and lack of standardization and organization. There were also reported complaints that the network was excessively slow.
Adcock said that the CIO/G-6 office is set to make a case before Army brass at the end of the year to get approval to begin migrating headquarters accounts.
"I think that based on the progress they've made and the changes they've done, they'll get the green light to go forward," Adcock said.

The Front Seven plays the ponies.
1. Pacers: No. 4 Baylor and Texas Tech were extremely fast out of the gate. While the Bears have stayed in front as the level of competition improved, the Red Raiders have faded. Tech must now pull off a major upset in Arlington, Texas, to halt a three-game skid. Baylor isn't going for 60-plus points on a weekly basis as it was in September, but QB Bryce Petty continues to move the offense quickly. The Bears barely missed a beat when TB Lache Seastrunk left the Oklahoma game early with a groin injury, thanks to Shock Linwood stepping up. Mounting pressure on the Bears hasn't been easy, but Red Raiders DE Kerry Hyder must be a disruptive force. Baker Mayfield is back at QB for the Red Raiders, but he'll have to take better care of the ball when looking for TE Jace Amaro and WR Eric Ward. LB Eddie Lackey and the Baylor defense are somewhat overshadowed by the team's high-octane offense, but the unit has done more than its share to contribute to the team's success.
TOP GAMES: 10 teams with something to prove
2. Closers: The Big 12's other marquee matchup, No. 10 Oklahoma State at No. 24 Texas, features two teams that didn't start as well but appear to be rounding into form when it matters most. The Longhorns' 1-2 start had fans openly calling for Mack Brown's job, but they've rattled off wins in their first six league contests. The Cowboys have recovered from an early puzzler at West Virginia — a road trip that nearly derailed Texas last week, by the way — and could be on the verge of a top-10 epic with Baylor. But OSU must first take care of business in this inhospitable setting. QB Clint Chelf has steadied the offense since regaining the starting job, though he might be without WR Josh Stewart (foot). WR Tracy Moore is also a dependable target, and TB Desmond Roland is a good drive finisher. But DE Jackson Jeffcoat and the Texas defense that has struggled against mobile QBs might have better luck containing Chelf. Texas QB Case McCoy has settled in since taking over for injured David Ashe. He must watch out for Cowboys' CB Justin Gilbert, who would love to add to his four INTs.
3. Favorites: No. 5 Stanford has emerged as the leader in the Pac-12 North. But the Cardinal's trip to a surging Southern California looms as a potential stumbling block. The Trojans are accustomed to enjoying favorite status in the South Division, but they're still recovering from the 0-2 start in league play that cost Lane Kiffin his job. Taking down Stanford won't be easy, but QB Cody Kessler's increased freedom to go deep has opened up the offense. WR Marqise Lee might not be at full speed with ongoing knee trouble, but WR Nelson Agholor has become a bigger presence. The passing game must produce since there isn't likely to be much room on the ground against Stanford LBs Shayne Skov and Trent Murphy. Cardinal TB Tyler Gaffney has an effective combination of breakaway speed and four-quarter durability. He'll challenge an improving USC front, featuring LB Devon Kennard. But if the Trojans commit too many bodies to run support, QB Kevin Hogan and WR Ty Montgomery figure to be ready.
4. Long shots: A scenario exists that would allow Georgia to win the SEC East. The Bulldogs will need a lot of help, and improving their own cause at No. 9 Auburn will be a tall enough order. The Tigers have business of their own to handle, as a win here would set up an Iron Bowl showdown with archrival Alabama for all the marbles in the West Division. Though a spate of injuries and defensive problems have plagued the Bulldogs, senior QB Aaron Murray always gives them a chance. He does have one of his best weapons back, TB Todd Gurley, but he'll have to keep his throws away from Auburn S Robenson Therezie. Tigers' QB Nick Marshall did most of the damage with his running last time out at Tennessee. That might be the case again for both Marshall and TB Tre Mason. Bulldogs' LB Ramik Wilson will try to make plays closer to the line of scrimmage.
5. Horse country: No.13 Louisville remains the highest-ranked team in the American, head-to-head result vs. Central Florida notwithstanding. But that loss to UCF means the Cardinals aren't likely to be playing in a major bowl. They'll nevertheless try to keep that slim possibility alive as they host Houston. Cardinals' QB Teddy Bridgewater has been steady in his senior campaign with only three picks. WRs Damian Copeland and DeVante Parker are his top targets, and they'll challenge an opportunistic Cougars' secondary, featuring FS Trevon Stewart, that kept the team in the game last week at UCF. But Houston couldn't come up with enough points to produce the road upset, and they'll need more from QB John O'Korn to make it happen this week. WR Deontay Greenberry is a superb deep threat, but Louisville DE Marcus Smith could make it difficult for O'Korn to find him.
6. Work horses: No.16 Michigan State is anything but flashy. But what the Spartans lack in fire power they make up in toughness. They look to retain their perch atop the Big Ten Legends as they visit second-place Nebraska. The Cornhuskers showed a bit of grit themselves in surviving last week's trip to Michigan. Unfortunately, senior QB Taylor Martinez's career appears to be over as he's been unable to come back from a foot injury. It will be up to Tommy Armstrong to make headway against LB Denicos Allen and the MSU defense that ranks first in the nation in yardage allowed. LB Michael Rose and the Nebraska front had a fine outing in Ann Arbor, but the Spartans' O-line figures to be harder to penetrate. TB Jeremy Langford will nevertheless need some aerial cover from QB Connor Cook.
7. Dark horses: That No. 23 Miami (Fla.)'s game at Duke is an important battle in the ACC Coastal speaks volumes about the job both coaches have done under different but equally difficult circumstances. Despite dropping their last two, Al Golden's Hurricanes have emerged from the cloud of NCAA sanctions, while David Cutcliffe's Blue Devils have battled a history of football irrelevance. In what amounts to an elimination game in the division race, Miami needs a better outing from TB Dallas Crawford, playing in place of injured Duke Johnson, in support of QB Stephen Morris. The Duke defense has made plays when needed this season, with LB David Helton often in the middle of things. QBs Anthony Boone and Brandon Connette share time in the Blue Devils' backfield. Both count on WR Jamison Crowder. There isn't likely to be much real estate available by land against the likes of Hurricanes' LB Denzel Perryman.

Hi Hannah,
So glad you are on this team! The kids you visit are really going to love meeting someone their own age. What a great experience for them and for you. We're proud of you for taking this long trip!
Diana (Pastor John's wife's sister)
PS: Hi to John, Evangeline, and Karla!
First Day in the Field
When we arrived the children were assembled in an outside courtyard, singing and waiting for us to arrive. We sat in the courtyard with them, while the teachers introduced themselves. Then it was our turn to introduce ourselves to the students. When we finished, team member Dorothy read the children a book about the story of creation, while four other team members positioned themselves so the children could see the book's wonderful artwork. We left five copies of the book, which Dorothy cut and laminated, for the teachers to use.
Then it was time to break out into our teams, which included a Bible team, sports, three crafts teams and an academic team. Our plan was to divide the children into six groups and for each team to spend 30 minutes with each group. Our teams had prepared ahead of time and had crafts, lessons, games and props to use in their work. It was a great system.
Each team distinguished itself in spirit and preparation and the Center teachers assisted by translating when needed. Barb Thompson headed our crafts team (Carol Donnelly, Cathi Book, and Evangeline Dempster) and found three wonderful yet simple crafts to do with each child. Gwen Kelley led the Bible team (Sheran White and Krista Frederick) as they focused on the story of David and Goliath.
Cheryl Bradbury's sports team (Rick Cotter, Dana Slavic, Hannah Thompson and Donna Sims-Reed) was in the hot sun for four hours as they led the children in volleyball (with no net), relay races and other fun activities. The academic team (Dale Harper, Carla Bailey and Verdeen Edmonson), led by Karla Byrd, presented some lessons to the students on the solar system and American history. (Pastor Stanko did nothing but walk around and take pictures, in case you are wondering.)
At the end of the day, Pastor Stanko presented $1,000 cash to the Center for their feeding program from his ministry's Sophia Fund, and then the team presented nine of our duffel bags, filled with shoes, toys, books and games. Prior to that, Pastor Francis showed some of the team the one locked cabinet that holds the supplies our team brought in 2010. It was painful to think that this one small cabinet held all the supplies Upako Center had for 127 children.
Everyone was pumped up on the way home, commenting on how patient and well-behaved the children were, but also how much children are alike no matter where you go in the world. After some rest at the hotel, the team went to the Tamarind seafood restaurant not far from the Hilton where everyone enjoyed a memorable meal. Tomorrow it's off to the Each One Touch One Orphanage with a quick stop to see their latest project, Operation Chicken Coop, funded through Dr. Stanko's ministry.
Wonderful pictures! I'm so glad your first day went so well and you brought such joy to the children. Praying for a restful night for all. God bless you!
Hannah, it looks like you are having a great time sharing with the kids.
Have a great time and enjoy the beauty of Africa and the culture of the people. Did you realize that Kenya is a much older country that the United States? Meeting people from other countries is one of my favorite things to do. I like to learn about how they live and I am always excited to see how much we have in common when we seem so different on the outside. Have a wonderful time!
This is truly amazing. My heart is overjoyed with the information,pictures, and videos being shared. You make it all appear to be easy, but I know it is hard work, but a work that comes from love. We miss you and say continue on in the Lord.
Hi Hannah, You do not know who I am, but I want you to know that God loves you
and has purpose for you, in that you are able to experience these life changing events.
Blessings to all
Hi Hannah! I love reading about what you are doing in Kenya! What an amazing opportunity to serve the Lord! Have fun and tell your mom 'hello' from me, too! With love~
Hi guys!
I'm so excited for all of you and what you are doing. I'm praying for you and cannot wait to hear stories about how these children and people touched your hearts. love you all and we will see you soon.
I love the children's faces after doing the Jesus Craft. They just are so happy and innocent. Absolutely adorable. Carol D.- it would be nice to see you in a picture.
Hi Hannah,
So glad you are having this op to serve Jesus. Say hi to my friend Donna Sims Reed . OIur Bible Study is praying for her. I look forward to meeting you.
Do you know my grandson Remi Burns? Please pray for him as we need a God blessed school placement for him. In Christ
Hi Hannah
You dont know me, but Dr. John and Karla do, I just wanted you to know how pleased I am that you are giving of your time to serve Jesus.I know what a wonderful time you are having meeting all of your new friends. Please know that I will continue to pray for you , and give thanks for your excellent work. Take care of the the adults while you are there , keep their spirits high and focused on Jesus. God's bless you Hannah , have a wonderful time in Kenya. By the way my daughter shares your name so I am already very fond of you and will be keeping tabs on you and my friends through the next several weeks.
So happy to hear that the visit to Upako was such a blessing to the children there. The heat of the day brings memories of last year's time at Upako.
Looking forward to hearing about the chicken farm visit tomorrow.
I just got back to a working computer and caught up on all you are doing I am a friend of Cheryl and Dorothy and wish I was there with you. Keep up the good work of blessing these kids and families. Love seeing the games you are doing with them. Maybe next year for me! Tell the Beam family that the folks at East Liberty Family Health Care send their love and prayers.
Rick Cotter is my father-in-law and i come from South Africa, I am so glad that he is on this team and seeing first hand some of the things that I have experienced in my life. We often talk about life in Africa, but I think this trip will make it even more easy and real easy to talk about the hardships that the people back home face. May god bless you all as you go about your work sharing His love with the people of my Continent.
This is amazing!! I feel like we can travel with you and share your joy as you reach out to the people of Kenya!! THANK YOU for your work!! We love you!
P.S.-Dorothy Martin, you're beautiful, as ALWAYS!!
Marissa Sherrill
Hi Hannah, You don't know me... Oh wait a minute. Maybe you do since I'm your brother! We're so glad that you're over there and hope you're taking really good notes about everything you're experiencing. We can't wait to connect with you about it when you get back. How are the SPORTS going?!! (Your nephew says hello). Lots of love!!!
Dear Hannah,
We in your mom's Wednesday bible study have been supporting you and the whole team in prayer since your decision to go to Kenya. It is amazing to hear the goings on while we back here just trying to imagine your experiences. I know you will have a lot to share with everyone about the children you have met. Keeping on loving them so they can see God's great example of love in you. Say hi to your mom. Love and prayers to you all.

EG 594 American Nature Writing
American Nature Writing will attempt to understand the role of nature and wilderness in the American literary landscape in terms of ethos, logos, and topos. Readings will represent perspectives ranging from the Romantic concept of immersion, to the contemporary ecological criticism, to notions of homeland. Readings will include classics such as Thoreau's Walden, as well as contemporary writings by authors such as Annie Dillard, Edward Abbey, Rich Bass, Wes Jackson, and WIlliam Least Heat Moon. To shape their own sense of connection to place in the literal and literary American landscape, students will take several field trips to natural areas in Kansas. Walking discussion groups will be made available throughout the semester.
EG 680 Undergraduate Seminar in Creative Writing
This course challenges writers to expand their knowledge and writing styles by compiling and revising the work they have generated in previous creative writing classes into publishable quality. The course provides students with directed readings in material relevant to their writing projects. Students revise and edit work for a final portfolio.
EG 780 Seminar in Creative Writing
This dynamic workshop-style seminar designed for graduate students and advanced creative writing minors (fiction writers, poets, nonfiction writers) will focus on advancing a writer's self-consciousness about craft and on movements of contemporary writing. While much of the class focus will be on providing informed criticism of student writing, students will also be responsible for developing writing projects of their own choosing, for participating in and leading class discussions, and for making presentations on selected contemporary authors and aesthetic issues.
EG 790XA Creative Writing Pedagogy
This course is designed for those who are already teaching in public schools, or who desire to teach at community college or university level in the future. The course seeks to provide an understanding of how the teaching of creative writing works: how to do it, how to access it, and how to talk about what you do. Students will also learn how to use creative writing pedagogy in other areas of teaching. Online readings and discussion will supply students with grounding in relevant theories related to creative writing pedagogy. Examining trade- and text-edition creative writing books will enable students to perceive a range of methods for how creative writing is taught and which methods correspond best to academic settings. Examining academic journals relevant to pedagogy and creative writing will help prepare students for engagement in academic professions. To apply what they have learned, students will compile materials and documents for teaching creative writing in their current classrooms or for potential teaching placement in the future. Six-week class starting 6/1/09. Internet Life Long Learning. Three hours credit.
Selected Literature Offerings Fulfilling C.W. Minor:
EG 540 Modern American Poetry

Some writers likely to be included: Stevens, Loy, Williams, Pound, Eliot, HD, Moore, Stein, Frost, Cummings, McKay, Hughes, Tolson, Millay, Crane, Bishop, Kunitz, Rukeyser, Berryman, Stafford, Brooks, Levertov, O'Hara, Ginsberg, Ashbery, Kinnell, Merwin, Sexton, Rich, Plath, and Snyder.
EG 540 Nature and Wilderness in American Literature
This class examines the themes and textual representations of "Nature" and "Wilderness" in the American Literary Tradition. Discussion will focus on defining America's Nature Writing tradition, its recurring ideologies and oppositions, the changing perceptions toward the environment, and the interrelationships between texts and authors. This course also seeks to make students familiar with ecocriticism and its application in the reading of both literary and cultural products. Students will also come to understand the interdisciplinary focus of ecological and environmental studies.
EG 540 American Short Story
This course surveys American short fiction, its history, and development from Romanticism to Post-Modernism. Students will read a number of short stories each week, as well as critical and historical overviews. The stories will be discussed in class with the aim of more fully understanding why the short story has developed as it has, and how the short story as it exists today may be critically understood. It will also be our purpose to understand how both an author's role in the work and the publishing industry of the era may affect the short story and its development.
EG 594 Twentieth-Century Poetry
This upper-level seminar explores the development of twentieth-century poetry through the major works of its distinct and diverse practitioners. Class discussions and presentations will focus on how various formal, cultural, and social issues gave rise to major movements, theories, and aesthetic principles.
EG 794 Seminar in Literary Genres: Twentieth-Century Poetry
This student-oriented seminar explores the development of twentieth-century poetry from Imagism to contemporary lyricism. A significant aspect of the class will be to assess the relationship between Modernist and Post-Modernist poetic works. Student discussions and presentations will focus on how various formal, cultural, and social issues gave rise to major movements, theories, and aesthetic issues.

Pros: Comfortable, spacious open sound, great build quality
Cons: Very sensitive to seal, overall lean sound, somewhat raw treble, slightly heavy
Along with the summary below, I have posted a Youtube video review of the K550. If you like the video, check out my channel for more reviews :)
The AKG K550 has excellent build quality, with a great fit and finish and a solid, durable feel to the materials. The earpads are very large and may not fit everybody's head; despite being very comfortable and supple the earpads are sensitive to seal and small changes to positioning will affect the already quite lean bass. The headband padding is quite sparse and because they are quite heavy, after a few hours they may make the top of your head a little sore.
The AKG K550 has a very lean, dry sound. What is most noticeable is the spacious soundstaging and clean sound despite the closed design. The K550 has no real sense of congestion or anything characteristic of closed headphones. However the sound is very lean; bass extends very deep but there isn't much slam or warmth. The treble can be slightly raw on occasion. Overall they are balanced headphones good for a variety of music but on the leaner side of neutral and not to my personal preference. Fans of more analytical signatures may enjoy these.
These are well made headphones with a good sound, but the fit issues mean that you may need to trial these before buying them. The lean sound may also not please everyone, though I commend AKG for designing a closed headphone that sounds very much like an open one.

This is a partially developed activity description. It is included in the collection because it contains ideas useful for teaching even though it is incomplete.
Up-scaling Great Lakes sediment cores to the regional climate scale
by Daria Kluver, Central Michigan University
Rhett Mohler, Kansas State University
Katryn Wiese, City College of San Francisco
Topic: scaling lake core data from individual points to the regional and global climate
Course Type: climate change module in an intro-level course
Learning Goals
After completing this activity students should be able to:
- demonstrate sediment core collection through a field exercise (whether or not you use that core's data).
- recognize potential errors and contamination risks and identify ways to minimize them.
- distinguish different layers within the cores and use appropriate terminology to describe them.
- identify cyclical variations in the core layers, and correlate those with remotely sensed lake temperature data over a regional spatial scale.
- estimate lake evaporation rates from lake temperatures.
- reconstruct regional lake evaporation based on core layers.
- evaluate the effectiveness of point observations to represent regional paleoclimate
Background: Sediment cores are used by scientists around the world to gather data on past environments, including climate phenomenon such as temperature, rainfall, etc.
In this activity, students will:
Note: it's possible that we won't find a good site or set of sites that correlate sediment thickness with lake-surface temperature. If data were available, we could extend to stable-isotope data or fossil species identification as a way of correlating core data to lake-surface temp data. However... that's expensive data to get.
- Review 3 sediment cores from a single lake and the core data over the last 10 years to correlate with remotely sensed lake surface temperature data, specifically looking for a relationship between temperature and sediment thickness.
- Calculate the correlation coefficients at each remotely sensed grid cell with the core data to determine how spatially representative the cores are for lake temperature.
- Compute the change in evaporation given a change in temperature.
- Given a significant correlation, students will use the lake core data to estimate temperature and evaporation in the region down wind of the lakes pre-in-situ data availability.
Students will submit a completed lab report.
Elements of a complete report are:
- Background
- Core descriptions including thicknesses and number of layers
- Appropriate graphics (plot core locations, correlations with remotely sensed grids)
- Excel – including calculations of correlation efficiency and evaporation rates related to temperature
- synthesis and conclusions about the core data's usefulness and applications.
Questions for students to consider along the way:
- How does one tell how long 10 years is in the core? How does one go back in time through the core?
- Is there a trend in the data (is temperature rising?)
Questions for students to consider at end and to incorporate into the lab report conclusion:
- How good was the correlation?
- How significant is 10 years as a data set for correlation? What are some problems/challenges? What effects might be covered and not covered in that 10-year period?
- What could be done to verify or improve correlation? (What other data could be collected and how?)
- What were the minimums and maximums of past temperature and rainfall data? Where are we today?
Data or other materials needed
Sediment cores from lakes distributed across the Great Lakes region:
Remotely sensed data:
- 3 good/clean cores that are well-correlated. We would need to first collect at least a dozen and see which would work best for our students.
- Either collect cores or get cores from the online repository:
- Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) thermal imagery for the month of June (monthly mean calculated from daily data)
Climate data:
- Historic wind patterns over the Great Lakes:
- From the NCAR/NCEP reanalysis 2 monthly composite analysis page. http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/psd/cgi-bin/data/composites/printpage.pl
- Historical precipitation data:
- Increases in precipitation documented in the national assessment, midwest region - US GCRP document (pdf)
- Core images: http://eos.tufts.edu/varves/
- MODIS data: http://reverb.echo.nasa.gov/reverb/#utf8=%E2%9C%93&spatial_map=satellite&spatial_type=rectangle
- Wind vector data: http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/psd/cgi-bin/data/composites/printpage.pl

Titanium tablet app development - WGW
- Status Closed
- Budget $15 - $25 USD / hour
- Total Bids 11
Project Description
We would like to develop phase I of a relatively simple tablet application to help people make decisions. WGW is the working title of the app.
Phase I would have WGW working on Android and iOS tablets. We should be able to make WGW work on Android and iOS phone / phablet form factors in a later phase.
WGW *must* be developed in Appcelerator Titanium, using Appcelerator's Alloy MVC framework.
The app will have two main screens (e.g. ignoring splash screen):
1) Find options
2) Option details
1) Find options screen
This will consist of a filter pane and a cards pane. On selecting options in the filter pane (location, date, some checkbox and some drop-down), the card pane will show some cards (i.e. 4-6 on screen, others can be scrolled to) based on the filter. Each card will show some information drawn from a local database / asset library (including pictures, text, some calculated information, possibly a chart). The user can save filter selections for later use.
2) Option details screen
The options details screen shows more information from the card that is clicked. This will include graphics, text, numerical information, charts, and calculated information. The information and assets will all be held locally. There will be a number of sections to this screen, some of which will need to be independently scrollable given the amount of information retrieved. The user can click / swipe between cards as filtered in the filter pane.
Future development (not in this job) would allow the database and assets to be synced with a remote server, a login for the user to save and sync their selections.
Please reply with details of apps you have developed in Titanium (apk / isca and with App Store / Play Store links where possible) and your rough estimate of how long it would take to develop the screens described above.
Further details, mockups, spec and design guides will be sent during the interview process if necessary.

President Bush is giving America a memory test. Test: How many people will say "Didn't they JUST get done saying that was appeasement?"
What am I talking about? This: American Envoy To Join Iran Talks
Interestingly the word "appeasement" does not appear once in the story. Why not? Because IOKIYAR.

All You Need To Know about Republican Accusations
When you are deciding whether to listen to a Republican when they talk about Democrats as "appeasers," consider this. Crooks and Liars has the story of Oliver North on Fox News backing up Republican accusations that Democrats are "appeasers."
So who is Oliver North? Oliver North is the guy that Republican President Ronald Reagan sent to provide weapons and missiles to Iran.
Let me repeat that because many people today are either too young or don't remember what happened in the 1980s. Not long after the Iranians stormed the American embassy in Tehran and took several American diplomats hostage for 444 days, Republicans gave them missiles and other weapons. Oliver North, hero of the American Right and Fox News pundit, gave advanced weaponry to Iran.
And now they call Democrats "appeasers."
It's called the Seeing the Forest Rule: When Republicans accuse others of something, it usually means it is something they are doing. (See also.)
Is there anything else you need to know about Republicans?

Blessed John of Vallombrosa
Also known as
- John of the Holy Trinity
Benedictine Vallombrosan monk at Florence, Italy, taking the religious name John of the Holy Trinity. Developed a fascination with black magic, and began to study and practice it in secret, collecting occult and forbidden writings. Eventually found out and summoned before the abbot-general of the Vallumbrosans, John first denied his studies, then confessed. He was imprisoned by the Order, which proved to be his salvation. The solitude led him to true penitence, and some severe self-imposed autsterities. Seeing his conversion, his brothers asked that he return to the community, but he refused, preferring the saving solitude of his cell. He lived to old age as a hermit, writing, and receiving visions of Saint Catherine of Siena.
- c.1395 at Vallombrosa, Florence, Italy of natural causes

- - 4 month old, how much to feed?
4 month old, how much to feed? My filly is being weaned (no longer nursing in the field, but still in the same pasture as her dam) and has demanded she eat in another bucket than her dam. How much should I feed the little one? In whatever unit of measure makes you happy! :D She's about 4 or 4 1/2 months old, 12.2hh, and has been on a high end mare and foal feed so far. Also, is there a feed you would recommend for her? Thanks! |
Look for a good quality fixed formula low grain no grain feed that is high in nutrition .. watch your Ca/P ratio to insure that it is as close to 2;1 as you can get to avoid DOD"s ... and fo course good quality hay offered free choice is a must |
I have a six month old filly and i like to keep food in her almost all the time so i generally give her two flakes in the morning and two at night |

Manoa hosts physics and astronomy open house
The University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa hosts the annual Physics and Astronomy Open House on Saturday, November 17, 8:30 a.m.–12 p.m. High school students, teachers and the public are invited to attend the open house.
Five sites including Watanabe Hall, Krauss Annex and the Physical Science Building will feature physics and astronomy research and applications presented by faculty and students.
There will be physics demonstrations, hands-on activities and presentations on nanophysics, optical illusions, free electron laser, cosmic rays and astrobiology. Physics faculty and students will describe new and fascinating aspects of their research, such as the recent results from the Large Hadron Collider, which show evidence for the Higgs boson.
A welcome and overview will take place in the Hawaiʻi Institute of Geophysics auditorium at 8:30 a.m., with sites open 9–11 a.m. for group visits, and 11 a.m.–12 p.m. for informal visits.
A full schedule and photos from prior open houses are available online.

There is a new war brewing in B-town and it's the Kaminey actor who will pay the price this time, wethinks!
Karan Johar's new film Ungli was set to release on September 6, but the producer has pushed its release date back two weeks. So KJo's latest will now clash with Shahid Kapoor's Phata Poster Nikla Hero at the box office come September. Thanks to KJo, the Shahid-Ileana D'Cruz starrer will compete with the star power of Sanjay Dutt, Emraan Hashmi, Kangna Ranaut and Randeep Hooda.
So there is nothing new about two big films battling at the box office. But here is the twist: The Student of the Year director wants to give Sasha a tough time and hence the change in the release date of his film. KJo has been at loggerheads with the Kapoor lad ever since the actor turned down his film Kaal a few years ago. But things really got ugly more recently, when Sasha walked out of KJo's production Gori Tere Pyaar Mein at the last minute, leaving the director-producer fuming.
While Shahid is known for rubbing people the wrong way, this time he isn't getting away with his high-handed behaviour. By deliberately postponing Ungli's release, Karan seems to be giving the Jab We Met actor a deserved amount of grief. Poor Sasha desperately needs a hit to his credit – there has really been nothing big in his resume since Jab We Met – and Phata Poster… could have been the one if there has been no competition at the box office, no? But looks like the chocolate boy of B-town decided to take panga with the wrong person….and now his film will bear the brunt of that.

Great iPhone Running Armband
As I've stepped up the running since the football season ended I was on the look out for an armband to hold my iPhone. Having read various reviews of armband screens cracking or not allowing access to the screen properly I picked out the one I wanted carefully.
The great people over at Mobile Fun supply some cool iPhone 4 accessories and they were happy to send me the Belkin DualFit Armband to review.
First impressions were good, the phone fitted snuggly into the sleeve so there was no worries of it popping out again during a run. The next test was to try using the phone whilst in situ, this being an important aspect of the armband. I was wary of reports of other armbands not allowing you to use your phone but the Belkin passed the test with flying colours.
I've used it twice and can safely say the plastic cover seems quite flexible and doesn't look like it's going to crack either, which is a bonus. The armband comes with a secure velcro strap with two eyelets, one for muscle bound hunks, the other for the more lithe arm.
All in all it's a great armband and one I'd recommend if you're on the look out for a strong and reliable iphone accessory like this.

Results 11 to 17 of 17
I never thought Bob Dylan was much of an example of anything but drug and booze abuse.
After retirement, I worked security at a major Santa Fe hotel. Dylan and his band stayed there (1991). At about 3 in the morning, guests were complaining about the ruckus they were making. Two other guards and I ended up having to evict them from the property. They were drunk, high and generally obnoxious. We finally got rid of them.
After, we went into the rooms (they were trashed) and, honestly, if we'd been on the ball we could almost have retired from selling the variety of dope we found in those rooms.The poster formerly known as chuck58 on the old board.
Somoza was replaced by the Sandinistas and Batista by Castro, so in both cases, the cure was worse than the disease. Pinochet took power because Allende, who was elected with a small plurality of the vote, tried to pull a Hugo Chavez and consolidate power through illegal means. The result of Allende's intended coup was widespread civil disobedience and a general strike against him. His response was to attempt to suppress the dissent the way that Marxists always do, via naked force, but the army refused to comply and ousted him. His supporters then mounted a campaign of terror. Pinochet's government fought that campaign and won, and instituted market reforms and eventual political reforms. He voluntarily stepped down and was followed by free elections.
The reason that communist revolutions occurred in American-allied states is because the Soviets backed the communists in order to drive out our allies. Note that Soviet-backed dictatorships never had communist insurgencies, even when they were not communist states. Nasser's Egypt, Assad's Syria and Qadaffi's Libya are prime examples. Communists don't care about freedom, they care about power and advancing the goals of their patrons. If Pinochet had been made the right noises about socialism and the USSR, he'd have been a hero of the left, even if his policies had been the same.
So, no, her argument is just more propaganda on behalf of the communist totalitarians that she supports.--Odysseus

Very impressive. You've managed to be ignorant and obnoxious at the same time. The argument is that Obama's choices denigrate the award and reduce its value, just as the Nobel Committee's award of the Peace Prize to Yasir Arafat, Rigoberta Menchu, Al Gore, Mohammed al Baradei and Obama have permanently tainted that award. The recipients that you've cited are American icons, each of whom has enriched the United States in clear and compelling ways. Dolores Huerta has not. She is a labor cartel organizer who has spent her adult life undermining the political and economic systems of the United States. She is an admirer of communist totalitarian mass-murderers and a blatant liar and demagogue. She does not deserve this award.

'Such stuff as dreams are made on'
It's scarcely been a "winter of discontent" for producers Candace Radcliffe, Rick Harmon and their creative partners in Beach House Theatre, whose plans to bring live Shakespeare to Crescent Beach each year seem bound for a "glorious summer" – starting with a production of A Midsummer Night's Dream this August.
A sold-out-and-then-some fundraiser this Saturday (Feb. 25) at Morgan Creek Golf Club – the tickets were almost gone before it was even formally announced – is only the latest manifestation of waves of support that have come rolling in for the project as surely as the tides that lap around Blackie Spit.
"We've made wonderful progress in the last couple of months," said artistic director Radcliffe, who confessed she is astonished at the way her long-held dream of a Shakespeare festival in her village community has captured the imagination of people across the Peninsula.
Already greenlighted for its inaugural year by the City of Surrey ("We've been working closely with the special events department," Radcliffe said), the venture received its registered charity status from the Canadian Revenue Agency in December, which means all donations are now tax deductible.
And Bosa Properties has come on board as a major community sponsor for the project.
"It's got a life of it's own, now," chuckled Harmon, who also serves as associate director for Beach House .
Of course it doesn't hurt that Harmon, as the former drama guru at Earl Marriott Secondary, and Radcliffe, as his frequent collaborator and successor, have generations of passionate former drama kids and family volunteers as a handy support base.
Two alumni, actors Russel Chartrand and Marina Benitez-Lazzarotto – who appeared in Harmon and Radcliffe's magical 2005 Marriott production of A Midsummer Night's Dream – have already signed on to participate in and promote the production, even though final roles are far from assigned.
That included a recent photo session, in suitably Shakespearian costume, at Blackie Spit, where the Beach House production team, including designer Nicole Chartrand, technical director Geoff McEvoy and production manager Sarah Adams will bring their professional skills to building a temporary, fully-covered, 250-seat theatre for the Aug. 15-19 run.
This Saturday's dinner and auction fundraiser was such a success right out of the gate that Radcliffe and Harmon say they'll have offer another one – probably a pub-night-style event – in the near future.
They doff their caps to an enthusiastic board and the fund-raising volunteer group headed by Jane Finley.
"She's a dynamo – she basically organized the event for us," said Radcliffe, who said that local businesses and individuals proved eager to donate auction items.
"And John Kavanagh of Hooked Fish Bar on Crescent Beach has been a huge supporter right from the beginning."
But the support of development giant Bosa is undeniably a major turning point, Radcliffe and Harmon agree.
"I think they've realized the potential of this – they're significant supporters," Radcliffe said. "At the same time, we're not turning away other sponsors at all."
Which is all to the good, said Harmon.
"We just had a budget meeting, and the cost of tents and risers continues to add up," he noted.
And there are still some missing pieces to the puzzle – like a space to build and store set pieces for the production before the show opens.
Initial estimates of the cost of the project for the first year were in the $70,000 to $80,000 range.
"Our goal from the beginning was to find some financial partners for this – and what makes us really excited is that a couple of other companies are considering joining us," Radcliffe said.
"It all adds strength and legitimacy – and helps us build roots."

ApplicationsDEVONthink: An appreciation of "smart groups"Merlin Mann | May 22 2006I've recently gotten way back into DEVONthink as a means to capture, wrangle, and analyze all the reference material in my world. If you're new to this amazing application -- and at the risk of far exceeding my understanding of both the human brain and this particular piece of software -- DEVONthink learns the neural pathways between the stuff you know or say is related. But, more importantly, it prompts you on the relationships you probably don't know exist (yet). This is awfully useful and wildly stimulating to the busy front parts of my own brain, such as it is. I'd seen the power of the app before and have been way inspired by how the heroic Steven Johnson is using it, but the learning and experience curves always seemed just a bit steep for me, given the returns that it yielded in my too-brief usage. Still, I was quite smitten with the concept. Flash forward a year and a half. I've now had DT Pro v. 1.1.1 in battlefield action for the last few weeks, and have been dutifully feeding it anything I find that seems tangentially interesting or useful; a few custom Quicksilver triggers mean one-click, no-look addition of any data type, from web pages to text selections to photos, full PDFs, and movie files. Thus far, this includes stuff like:
My focus over this time has been strictly on capture, rather than trying to make anything particularly useful of it all just yet. But I've recently started grouping and classifying occasional clusters of content using the app's killer feature: really smart AI that finds associations between items based on a concordance of common words and similar previous relationships you've established. So, I have the start of a potential post underway that will re-introduce DT in more detail (which I've been building right in DT, natch), but I was moved today to share the insane usefulness of DEVONthink's "Smart Groups." read more »POSTED IN:
Tool Updates: D*I*Y Planner; GTD Tiddly Wiki PlusMerlin Mann | Feb 13 2006There's been some interesting activity lately on two of the productivity tools that a lot of our readers like to follow. D*I*Y Planner 3.0D*I*Y Planner 3.0 (Classic/A5 Edition) | D*I*Y Planner Douglas Johnston has recently released v 3.0 of his Classic/A5 D*I*Y Planner. If you haven't seen this before, Douglas has put together a Creative Commons-licensed version of the plain-paper templates usually associated with Costly Paper Planners. But he's added some lovely design touches as well as some creative templates that are meant to support GTD and other popular productivity systems. Douglas says, of this version: While, in my opinion, the recent 'net obsession with "things you can print at home" has gotten out of hand -- y'know they have graph paper in stores now? -- Douglas has added a lot more than blue quadrille lines here. This is thoughtful stuff, and if you love the immediacy of paper but don't want to spend a fortune on a big folio from Staples, this may be right up your alley. N.B. Fans of a tricked-out Hipster PDA can look forward to an index card edition late next month. Until then, the 2.0 HPDA edition is still available on his site. GTD Tiddly Wiki PlusGTDTiddlyWiki Plus - your simple client side wiki Although I'm a little confused over exactly who's doing what to which version (why does my brain freeze up whenever I see words like "wiki" and "plus"?), it appears that GTD Tiddly Wiki Plus is a project to revive the popular (but stalled?) GTD Tiddly Wiki. According to Ted Pavlic, on the 43F wiki: I haven't spent much time with this new release, but I'm intrigued by the idea of "plug-ins" as well as the idea that Ted plans to afford a "kGTD-like usage" for the GTDTWP. I played with the last release of GTD Tiddly Wiki last summer, and I think it's a fascinating chunk of functionality. It's not really my particular cup of tea for everyday usage, but I really recommend you have a look for yourself. I get so much mail about the best way to "live" on two or more computers, and -- at least from a "GTD system" standpoint -- this seems like one novel solution. POSTED IN:

Helpy page; Writing apps on the web; Collaboration everywhere?Merlin Mann | Nov 1 2005I want to - a page of utilities that help you do stuff you want to Man, I have a warm spot for old-school pages like this. Just a bunch of links to tools and apps, organized by what you want to do. Feels like 1995 again. snif All of the topics and most of the sites will be familiar to you as they were to me (sharing photos, sending large files, creating to-do lists), but it was worth the visit just to be reminded of This to That -- the canonical place to to learn how to glue anything to anything. [ via del.icio.us/popular ] Looking at that page, I'm reminded of a couple apps I've been meaning to mention that both do an impressive job of putting collaborative word processing on the web. Firefox users: do check out Writely. Feels surprisingly like -- well -- a web version of MS Word, to be honest. Haven't used it in battlefield conditions, but it is a feature-rich, intuitive app, given the medium. If you like this kinda thing but want something a bit lighter (and Safari-friendly), definitely have a look at Writeboard, a beautiful, stripped down chunk of func from the less is good geniuses at 37 Signals. I would also, at this juncture, like to renew my annual request to the gods that somebody on the OS X team please (Please!) steal the collaborative editing functionality of SubEthaEdit and put it into any app that supports text editing. That functionality should be like printing; a baked-in service that's ubiquitous and configurable once from the System Preferences, then portable anywhere that the router has the correct holes punched. I'd so kill for that. POSTED IN:

This anime is the most amazing anime I have EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE!!! It is second to NOTHING on my favorites list and I recommended it to all of my friends. They barely knew what anime was but when they finished watching it, they were practically sobbing on the floor! That is how moving this anime was! I definitely recommend this to everyone in the whole world since it teaches you SO much about life, friends, family, hardships, and much, much more!
I have to say, though, the level of comedy in After Story is lower compared to Clannad but it is still hilarious! After Story focuses more on all the characters' futures and it is much, much more serious than Clannad since a lot of the characters matured. Basically, After Story is about each characters' next phase of life. It mainly focuses on Okazaki and Nagisa, though.
If you have seen Clannad, there is absolutely NO excuse (to me) to not watch After Story. (If you already started the story, why not finish it?) Don't be pushed away from After Story just because of the lack of comedy (like I said there is still some!) or all the seriousness in it! It is the conclusion to everything in Clannad and you will finally understand the importance of the Trash Robot and the Girl from the Other World.
You have to watch it! XD Wish you a happy watching!
* Tip: Buy a whole pack of tisse boxes! You are definitely going to need them all~

Match Found: Aditya and Swati
It was Aditya who sent me a request on Shaadi.com and I liked his profile. I just couldn't decline his request. We soon started chatting online and then on the phone. We finally decided to meet and fell in love. In our case, it was love arranged completely by Shaadi.com.
