Buchu has a long tradition of use for the treatment of bladder and urinary tract problems, especially urinary tract infections. In South Africa, buchu and other plants similar to it are additionally used for stomach aches, joint pain, and colds and flus. The leaves are the part used medicinally.
What is Buchu Used for Today?
Many herbalists use buchu as a part of herbal combinations designed for kidney and bladder problems. Buchu is said to have a diuretic effect, meaning that it increases the flow of urine. However, there is no meaningful scientific documentation of this or any other medicinal effect of buchu.
Buchu contains various bioflavonoids, including diosmin , rutin , and quercetin . 1,2 Its essential oil contains a variety of aromatic substances, including limonene and menthone, along with the known liver toxin pulegone. While it is commonly said that the essential oil has antimicrobial effects, the only published study on the subject failed to find activity in this regard. 3 This study did, however, find possible antispasmodic actions, which could potentially reduce the pain of bladder infections.
Buchu is typically taken at a dose of 1–2 grams of dried leaf three times daily, with meals. However, due to the toxicity of one of the constituents of buchu, we do not recommend using it at all.
Safety Issues
Because buchu contains the known liver toxin pulegone, the herb should be used only with great caution, if at all. It also frequently causes stomach upset. It definitely should not be used by young children, pregnant or nursing women, or people with liver or kidney disease.
In addition, if buchu does in fact have diuretic effects as claimed, people taking the medication lithium should use buchu only under the supervision of a physician, as dehydration can be a danger with this medication. 4
Interactions You Should Know About
If you are taking lithium , do not use buchu except under the supervision of a physician.

Kaazing Gateway 4.0 JMS Edition with Enterprise Shield arrives this week. The product is a software-based web communications platform for "mobile users, marketplaces, and machines" to connect and communicate.
This latest release delivers IoT-ready security for enterprise messaging systems based on the Java platform beyond firewall guards.
Based on the HTML5 WebSocket standard pioneered by Kaazing itself, Gateway 4.0 JMS Edition with Enterprise Shield will achieve near zero-latency as full-duplex solution for JMS-compatible messaging systems extended securely to web and mobile users.
This software has been designed to protect "things" (and their users) from gaining unauthorized access to enterprise back-end systems. Security capabilities include SSL/TLS Termination, Single Sign-On, native support for SPNEGO-based Kerberos authentication, fine-grained JMS authorization, and Shield Agent functionality for B2B security without the need for VPN.
"Considering the progress made toward making the Internet of Things or IoT a reality, it is likely that this new wave of innovation will not bake security in at the hardware layer, at least initially. Security professionals will, once again, have to do their best to apply security controls at the network and application layer," writes Andrew Rose, principal analyst at Forrester Research serving security and risk professionals.
Kaazing Enterprise Shield secures enterprise information systems (EIS) accessible over the Web by using reverse connectivity to initiate the connection from the internal trusted network toward the DMZ. For most administrators, opening an inbound port to the outside world is a necessary but undesirable solution, since each inbound port is a potential attack vector for malicious users.
Using Enterprise Shield, companies can close all inbound ports while still allowing clients and applications to securely communicate with their back-end EIS.
"Enterprise Shield, IoT-ready security, and JMS/Java API-friendly capabilities help enterprise software developers prepare for the onslaught of the Internet of Things and rapidly deploy highly interactive, real-time web, and mobile applications," said Kaazing, cofounder and president Jonas Jacobi.
"Using Kaazing Gateway, businesses can extend their enterprise messaging systems to mobile users, marketplaces, and machines. The result is fast, scalable, and secure enterprise web communications that enable companies to take advantage of what we call the Internet of Many Different Things."

This week's Sepia Saturday photo of a group of intrepid adventurers posing at the entrance to a limestone cave system in New South Wales gives me an opportunity to make a return visit to Dovedale in the English Peak District, which I have featured a couple of years ago: Donkey Rides at Dovedale and The Compleat Angler, a Derbyshire Fishing Trip.
Views of Ashbourne and Dove Dale
Published by Louis B. Twells, Ashbourne
This time I can use a couple of more recent acquisitions, purchased for very modest sums on eBay. The first, a large envelope made of green paper with a shiny, faux crocodile skin finish and gold print, contains 32 black-and-white and blue-tinted lithographic prints, each measuring approximately 205 x 151mm (8" x 6"). The title on the envelope simply states, "Views of Ashbourne and Dove Dale" - which indeed they are - published by Louis B. Twells of Ashbourne.
Louis Bosworth Twells (1829-1885) settled in Ashbourne (Derbyshire) around 1855, and over the next three decades conducted a variety of trades: hair cutter/dresser, perfumer, jeweller, silversmith, watch maker, importer of general fancy goods, sponges, &c., and proprietor of "large show rooms for glass, china, and earthenware." I have seen a single example of a carte de visite portrait which he also "published." There is no direct evidence that he took any photographs himself, but he may well have done. After his death in 1885 his widow and son, also named Louis B. Twells, continued to operate the business until 1903.
View from the Doveholes, Dovedale (Ref. W. 1424)
Original photograph publ. by James Valentine & Co.
Lithographic print publ. by Louis B. Twells, Ashbourne
This view of Dovedale from the mouth of the limestone cave known as Dove Holes is one of 16 prints of excellent quality which don't carry the name of either photographer or publisher. A detailed examination of the prints reveals artefacts suggesting that they were reproduced from carefully retouched photographic prints.
After some deliberation I've decided that the text so carefully pencilled out in this image included a negative number and the original publisher's initials:
1424 JV + Co. Ltdin the characteristic cursive script used by famous postcard publisher James Valentine & Co. of Dundee. However, I've yet to find an example of the original photograph published by Valentine.
Thorpe Cloud, Dovedale (Ref. 3921)
Original photograph publ. by George Washington Wilson
A second group of 16 prints show similar landscapes. Although of slightly poorer reproduction quality, these views are still very professionally composed, and are annotated with the initials "G.W.W." This indicates that they were originally published by George Washington Wilson & Co. of Aberdeen, another Scottish photographer who became one of the largest publishers of photographic prints in the world, rivalling the business of Valentine and Sons.
In Dovedale Looking Up Entrance to Dale, (Ref. 3923)
Glass plate negative 220 x 170mm by G.W. Wilson & Co. of Aberdeen

The University of Aberdeen Library has an enormous collection of 45,000 of George Washington Wilson's glass plate negatives, the original photographs taken between 1853 and 1908, with digitized images online. There are 488 views of Derbyshire alone and the web site is well worth a visit. I wasn't able to find the same view, but I did find a similar one, with a negative number (3923) suggesting that it was probably taken on the same occasion.
Views of Ashbourne and Dovedale

The remaining views from the Ashbourne & Dovedale collection can be seen in this slideshow created with Picasa. It's difficult to know now if all 32 of the prints were originally sold in this wallet, or whether the G.W. Wilson prints were added later by a previous owner. However, from what I can tell, they appear to have been taken over roughly a decade from the mid-1880s through to the mid-1890s. Photographs mounted on glossy card of the particular shade of dark green used for the envelope were very popular in the 1890s, and I suspect that Louis Twells Junior was selling this collection at this time.

My other purchase was a small group of lantern slides, almost certainly taken by an amateur, two of which depict an outdoor excursion by a small group of young men and women. Although not annotated, the view above is identifiable as the River Dove in the vicinity of Twelve Apostles' Rock, also shown in one of the prints by G.W. Wilson in the slideshow above.

A second image shows three men and four women seated on a hillside, judging by the nature of the scree, probably the lower slopes of Thorpe Cloud or one of the adjacent hills flanking the entrance to Dovedale. If, as seems likely, the group consisted of four young couples, a fourth man is probably taking the photograph. One of the other slides in this small collection is dated 1906, and the clothing fashions of the women in the photo suggest that these are from a similar time period.

The second half of the nineteenth century saw a huge expansion in the number of people taking trips to the seaside and day excursions into the country. Pictorial mementos available to the everyday tourist included scenic images in the form of stereoscopic cards, carte de visites and unmounted prints published by both local firms and by larger enterprises such as Valentines and G.W. Wilson.
During the 1890s and early twentieth century advances in camera design and technology made them considerably cheaper and more portable. As a result, excursionists were able to create their own mementos as they enjoyed their holiday. These lantern slides were most likely produced by direct printing on thin glass slides from original glass-plate negatives, and would have been displayed with a magic lantern projector similar to that shown above.

The major kinds of fats in the foods we eat are saturated, polyunsaturated, monounsaturated, and trans fatty acids. Saturated fats, trans fats, and dietary cholesterol raise blood cholesterol levels. A high level of cholesterol in the blood is a major risk factor for coronary artery disease, which can lead to a heart attack.
Limiting the amount of fats in your diet and choosing healthier fats can help to reduce that risk. Here is some information to help you sort it out and make changes that can improve your health.
Here's How:
Foods often have more than 1 type of fat. As a general rule, foods that have mostly saturated fat are thicker (like butter, lard, or cream), while those that are mostly unsaturated are thinner (like oils). A healthy eating pattern limits saturated fats and trans fats.
Saturated Fat
The body uses saturated fatty acids to function, but we eat and drink more than our bodies need. Some of the foods that are rich in saturated fat include:
- Whole milk
- Cream
- Ice cream
- Whole-milk cheeses
- Meats like beef, poultry with skin, or lamb
Saturated fatty acids are also abundant in oils like coconut oil, palm kernel oil, and palm oil. These oils will be semi-solid at room temperature.
Many snack foods and fried foods are also rich in saturated fat. Check the Nutrition Facts label to find the saturated fat content of a specific food. Look for oils listed above in the ingredient list.
Fortunately, for many of these foods that are naturally rich in saturated fat, there are low-fat versions. Some taste better than others, so try a variety of them to find ones you like. Use these lower-fat versions or occasionally indulge in smaller portions of regular fat foods.
Also, try to choose naturally lower-fat foods. For example, have fruit and gingersnaps for dessert instead of ice cream. Consider eating fish and vegetarian-based dinners a few times a week in place of meat.
Your goal should be to consume less than 10% of your calories per day from saturated fats.
Trans Fat
Trans fats are made through a process called hydrogenation. This process takes a vegetable oil, which is naturally high in unsaturated fatty acids and adds hydrogen molecules to it to make it more saturated and more solid.
Trans fats can make food taste good and add texture. You will find them in many processed snack foods. Foods that may contain trans fats include:
- Margarine
- Cookies
- Crackers
- Cakes
- French fries
- Fried onion rings
- Donuts
Look in your pantry and check for trans fats listed on the Nutrition Facts food label. You may also see hydrogenated oil or partially hydrogenated oil listed as ingredients. This means the food contains trans fat and should be avoided if possible.
Dietary cholesterol affects cholesterol levels to a much lesser degree than was originally thought and also much less than saturated and trans fats. It is found only in animal foods, not plant foods. Our bodies use cholesterol to carry out necessary bodily functions, but we take in more than we need. You should eat as little dietary cholesterol as possible while consuming a healthy eating pattern.
You should not eliminate fats from your diet completely, but you can replace saturated fats with unsaturated fats. Since saturated fat and cholesterol are often found together in foods, by limiting saturated fat, cholesterol intake will go down as well.
Healthier Fat Options
You can feel good about eating unsaturated fats, in proper amounts. Keep in mind that unsaturated fats still deliver as many calories as the saturated varieties, so keep reasonable portion sizes. There are two types, polyunsaturated and monounsaturated. The difference is in their chemical make up, but all that means is that either fat can be used instead of saturated and trans fats.
Unsaturated fats can be found in a variety of foods you are familiar with. Some examples include:
- Certain oils, like safflower, sesame, or soy
- Certain fish, like salmon, mackerel, or trout
- Nuts
- Seeds
Monounsaturated fats are similar and can also be substitutes for less healthy fats. You will find them in olive, canola, or peanut oils. Avocados are also a good source of monounsaturated fat.
Change takes time, so go slowly and make small adjustments to get started. Tips to help you work these fats into your diet include:
- Combine nuts, seeds, dry cereal, and dried fruit for a snack mix.
- Use mashed avocado as a sandwich or bagel spread.
- In sesame oil, saute vegetables, tofu, and peanuts.
- Bake pecans or walnuts into breads, pancakes, and muffins.
- Use an oil sprayer for your cooking oils; spray meats and vegetables and sprinkle with herbs before cooking.
- Coat salmon or tuna steaks in sesame oil and sesame seeds before broiling.
If you do not like something, try something different. There is a wide variety of choices you can make that will help you cut back on the amount of saturated and trans fats that you eat.
Butter vs. Margarine
Since both the saturated fat in butter and the trans fat in margarine can raise cholesterol levels, which is the best one to eat? There is no definitive answer to this question. When choosing your spread however, remember that softer is better. Whipped butter has less saturated fat than regular solid butter. Also, liquid or soft margarine in a tub have less saturated and trans fats. Consider substituting an oil-based spread (like olive oil) instead of using butter or margarine.
You can also make easy substitutions while cooking or baking. Try liquid vegetable oils such as canola, safflower, soybean, or olive instead of butter or margarine. Remember that whatever you choose, make sure that you limit the amount of fat you are adding to your food.

Federal agencies are once again finding themselves in the position of having to decide what to do if the federal government shuts down next Monday evening.
As published reports have maintained, much of the government will continue to function, including mail service and troops staying put. But the paychecks of more than 800,000 federal workers could be jeopardized if they're told to stay home next week, according to The Washington Post.
Indeed, while more than 2 million other employees who are considered essential by the government—including the active military—would be entitled to their salaries, they may not get paid on time, the Post reported.
A glance at federal agencies' contingency plans as of Tuesday on the Office of Management and Budget's website shows a list of plans that haven't been touched since the last shutdown loomed in 2011.
Indeed, John Nester, a spokesman for the Securities and Exchange Commission, told ThinkAdvisor Tuesday that the SEC is "currently reviewing" its plan and has "no update" to report at the present time.
As Time reported on Tuesday, it's safe to "assume that most agency priorities have not significantly changed: in many cases the spending bill that is set to expire Monday is the same one that nearly expired two years ago."
However, The Post notes that while no law exists requiring that nonessential employees be compensated if they are ordered off the job, Congress has in the past voted to reimburse their losses once shutdowns ended. "But this go-round could be different. The bitterly divided Congress includes many lawmakers who are unsympathetic to the plight of federal workers and could be loath to help them recoup their money," says The Post.
The just–released First Command Financial Behaviors Index found that the majority of servicemembers and their families doubt that lawmakers will take appropriate actions to avoid a government shutdown in October or a second round of sequestration in the coming year.
The latest survey results reveal that 86% of middle-class military families (senior NCOs and commissioned officers in pay grades E-6 and above with household incomes of at least $50,000) are not confident that Congress will pass a continuing resolution to fund the government by Sept. 30 and avoid a partial shutdown of federal operations. Also, 71% doubt that lawmakers will be able to take appropriate action to avoid another sequester in the new fiscal year, which begins Oct. 1.
But Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said on the Senate floor Monday that two dozen Senate Republicans have spoken out against Tea Party Republicans' "foolhardy plan to drive the economy off a cliff, Thelma and Louise style."
The reviews are in: "The ransom demanded by House Republicans in exchange for keeping the government open is unworkable and unrealistic," Reid stated in reference to the bill passed by the House Sept. 20, which funds the government until mid-December but seeks to defund the Affordable Care Act.
President Barack Obama "has been clear," Reid said. "I have been clear. Any bill that defunds Obamacare is dead on arrival in the Senate."
Reid went on to state that this week the Senate "will act as quickly as Tea Party Republicans will allow. Once the Senate has acted, House Republicans will face a choice whether to pass a clean continuing resolution or shut down the federal government."

A risk factor is something that increases your likelihood of getting a disease or condition.
It is possible to develop periodontal disease with or without the risk factors listed below. However, the more risk factors you have, the greater your likelihood of developing periodontal disease. If you have a number of risk factors, ask your dentist or doctor what you can do to reduce your risk.
Lifestyle Factors
- Poor oral hygeine is the most important risk factor.
- Smoking—Smoking greatly increases your risk of developing periodontal disease. It also greatly reduces the chance that treatments for periodontal disease will be effective.
- Poor nutrition—An unhealthy diet, such as one that is high in fat and low in vitamin C, can increase your chance of periodontal disease.
- Stress—Stress can reduce your body's ability to fight off the infection that prompts periodontal disease.
- Clenching or grinding your teeth due to stress may increase your chance of periodontal disease.
Conditions that increase your risk of periodontal disease include:
- Diabetes
- Metabolic syndrome—A condition marked by elevated blood pressure, cholesterol, blood glucose, and body weight. Excess weight centered around the midsection is of particular concern.
In girls and women: conditions that cause changes in hormone levels, such as
- Puberty
- Pregnancy
- Menopause
- Cancer
- Osteoporosis
- Herpes infections
Autoimmune diseases, including
- Crohn disease
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Systemic lupus erythematosus
- CREST syndrome—a severe type of skin disorder
- Down syndrome
- Wegener granulomatosis
- Amyloidosis
- Tuberculosis
- Syphilis
Taking certain medications can increase your risk of developing periodontal disease, such as:
- Birth control pills
- Antidepressants
- Heart medications
- Medications used to treat seizures
- Chemotherapy medications for cancer treatment
- Medications used to treat AIDS
- Immunosuppressant medications
Your risk of developing periodontal disease increases as you age.
Women are more likely than men to develop periodontitis. This is probably because of hormonal changes that women experience throughout their life cycle.
Genetic Factors
There seems to be a genetic tendency for certain people to develop periodontitis.
African Americans and people of Hispanic origin have a higher rate of periodontitis than do Caucasian Americans.
Other Factors
Other factors that may increase your risk of periodontitis include:
- Having badly fitting dentures and/or uneven fillings or crowns
- Being a habitual mouth breather

There's an ample body of academic research that financial advisors could turn to in order to figure out why, say, a prospective client seems so eager at first to retain their services and then suddenly goes cold on them.
However, going through those studies to read up on such behavioral traits as client over-optimism and empathy gain, and then figuring out how to counteract them, can be a laborious and time consuming process; one that, understandably, many advisors may not be inclined to do, says David Greene, a managing partner at Atlanta-based Greene Consulting.
"The research is all out there and it's great, but in our experience with advisors, we've seen that it's best to provide a direct application of the academic perspective rather than leave it up to interpretation, and to tie the research up in a practical way that advisors can use," Greene says.
That's why Greene Consulting has teamed up with Keith Van Etten, former managing director at U.S. Trust, Bank of America Private Wealth Management in Boston and a consultant in the field of behavioral finance and alternative investments, to develop an educational program for financial advisors that synthesizes the nuts and bolts of behavioral finance research in a practical and easy-to-apply manner.
The online course, which consists of five different and sequential modules, will launch in early March and one of its main focus areas is the behavioral aspect of the advisor/client relationship. The course is designed so advisors can optimize behavioral finance theory to its fullest practical application, Greene says, and give their client relationships the depth that they require, at a time when relationships are even more important than ever.
Neither advisors nor clients are wired in the same way, and beyond that broader division, individual brains also work differently, Greene says. Clients tend to resist the input and direction of advisors, who have to then figure out why and how best to counter their behavioral biases and bring clients around to taking a more rational approach toward investing.
"We really have focused on the heuristics and translating all the available information out there into the kind of best practices that can help advisors in their client relationships," he says.
Starting with a synthesis of the basic concepts of behavioral finance, the different modules of the online course address clients' decision-making processes and how behavior influences their investment errors, and it offers practical ways to employ academic research on behavior to counter these. The final module, Greene says, is perhaps the most important and pertinent part of the course, as it focuses on behavioral finance and its importance with respect to fiduciary best practices, and offers advisors practical strategies to help them fulfill their fiduciary role while understanding their clients' behavioral traits.
Targeted toward mutual fund companies, wirehouses, banks and independent advisory businesses, the course can be customized to what a particular firm may want, Greene says, and includes the option for more in-depth, personalized seminars on any area a firm wants to explore in greater detail. Greene Consulting also has prepared a number of white papers on specific topics within the broader course.
"We've tried to sort out the content to make it more manageable because we've seen an increase in the willingness of advisors to want to understand their clients' minds," Greene says. "As markets have become more volatile, advisors have to have something that helps them help their clients take the emotion out of investing and figure out ways to engage the second system of their brains. But every firm must have a disciplined approach to this and to the best practices that they're using."
Since 1979, Greene Consulting has been a leading provider of consulting and training in the financial services industry. The new behavioral finance course adds to the company's extensive library of online wealth management courses.

Product Description
Note: Our level rating system is different than Hanayama's. Hanayama's level 1 is equivalent to our level 5.... level 6 is equivalent to our level 10.
The two entagled pieces are exactly the same in shape and very simple. They look like hooks used to hang things. The pieces can be separated and connected, in a fascinating and magical series of movements. This cast puzzle, which is simple yet mysterious and just like a disentanglement puzzle, was created by Finland's Vesa Timonen. The theme of this puzzle is "Hook".

This puzzle is tad HARDER than it's "1" rating. Three at least. To Shannon, the first reviewer, I thought the exact same thing! I was quite wrong!
I can solve this just by looking at the picture.. :
Perhaps I am dense but I thought this one was amazingly tough, especially for a one star Hanayama. If you give someone the two pieces unconnected it is particularly tricky to get together if you have never seen the disassembly. Excellent puzzle!

A hiatal hernia is a movement of part of the stomach up into the chest cavity. The stomach presses up through a small hole in the diaphragm muscle. The diaphragm is the muscular wall that separates the abdominal and chest cavities.
Different types of hiatal hernias include:
- Sliding hiatal hernia—Part of the stomach slides into and out of the chest cavity. This is the most common type.
- Fixed hiatal hernia—Upper part of the stomach remains in the chest cavity.
- Complicated hiatal hernia—Several other types of stomach herniation may be seen. These are uncommon, but more serious and may require surgery.
The exact cause of hiatal hernias is not clear. Some people are born with a hiatal hernia but others will develop it later in life.
The diaphragm has an opening that the esophagus can pass through. A weakening or injury to this opening can allow a hiatal hernia to develop. Increased pressure in the abdomen can also push the stomach up into the chest cavity.
Risk Factors
Hiatal hernias are more common in adults over 50 years of age. Other factors that increase your chance of getting hiatal hernia include:
- Obesity
- Abdominal injury
increased pressure in the abdomen from activities like:
- Severe coughing
- Vomiting
- Straining
- Sudden physical exertion such as weight lifting
Most people with hiatal hernias have no symptoms.
A hiatal hernia can make stomach acid move up into the esophagus. This is known as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Symptoms of GERD can include:
- Heartburn, especially after eating or lying down
- Pain or discomfort in the stomach, chest, or esophagus
- Belching
- Hoarseness
- Frequent clearing of the throat from irritation
- Chest pain
- Difficulty swallowing
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Because they often have no symptoms, hiatal hernias are sometimes only detected during a visit to the doctor for other reasons.
Images may be taken of your stomach. This can be done with an upper gastrointestinal series or upper gastrointestinal endoscopy.
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Hiatal hernias are usually treated only when there are symptoms. When GERD is present, treatment may include one or more of the following:
Weight Loss
For people who are obese, losing weight may relieve symptoms.
Dietary Changes
Avoid foods that relax the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), a muscle that controls the opening between the esophagus and the stomach, including:
- Chocolate
- Peppermint
- Fatty foods
- Coffee
- Alcoholic beverages
Avoid foods and beverages that can irritate the internal lining of the esophagus such as:
- Caffeine
- Citrus fruits and juices
- Tomato products
- Hot peppers
- Carbonated beverages
To minimize acid reflux:
- Consume smaller meals 4-6 times a day versus 3 large meals.
- Do not eat within 2-3 hours of bedtime.
Smoking Cessation
If you smoke, talk to your doctor about ways to quit. Smoking weakens the LES.
Reduce Pressure on Your Abdomen
- Wear clothes and belts that are loose around your waist.
- Avoid stooping or bending after meals, which puts increased pressure on the abdomen.
Elevating the head of the bed on blocks or sleeping on a specially designed wedge reduces heartburn. This position helps prevent stomach contents from refluxing backward into the esophagus.
Your doctor may recommend over-the-counter antacids. These can neutralize acid and temporarily relieve heartburn.
Prescription Medications
For chronic reflux and heartburn, several types of medications may be prescribed to reduce acid in the stomach. These include H2 blockers and proton pump inhibitors.
Surgery may be needed if:
- You have severe GERD symptoms that do not respond to other treatments.
- The hernia is at risk for twisting and cutting off the blood supply to the stomach. This is an emergency and requires immediate surgery.

Plug and process loads (PPLs) in commercial buildings account for almost 5% of U.S. primary energy consumption. Minimizing these loads is a primary challenge in the design and operation of an energy-efficient building. PPLs are not related to general lighting, heating, ventilation, cooling, and water heating, and typically do not provide comfort to the occupants. They use an increasingly large fraction of the building energy use pie because the number and variety of electrical devices have increased along with building system efficiency. Reducing PPLs is difficult because energy efficiency opportunities and the equipment needed to address PPL energy use in office spaces are poorly understood.

This report discusses miscellaneous electrical loads, which are building loads that are not related to general lighting, heating, ventilation, cooling, and water heating, and typically do not provide comfort to the occupants. MELs in commercial buildings account for almost 5% of U.S. primary energy consumption.
This report describes the psychrometric bin analysis that was conducted for the ASHRAE recommended and allowable operating environment zones as well as a modified allowable operating environment, discusses control strategies, and presents examples of energy-efficient data centers using alternative cooling strategies.
This case study describes the National Renewable Energy Laboratory's (NREL) data center as a showcase of energy efficiency. Most of what NREL has done can be replicated by clients; however, two design approaches are climate-dependent: near-full reliance on outside air for cooling, and photovoltaic arrays for power.
In typical computer centers you can feel the energy consumption from racks of servers radiating heat, while icy air blows through the room to cool them. NREL's fully contained hot and cold aisle data center configuration minimizes this problem. The configuration includes effective air-side economizer cooling with an evaporative boost when needed.
This checklist packet is a team-focused guide to realizing energy savings in high-performance office buildings through carefully considered lighting and control design. The checklists should be distributed among the integrated project team, including the owner, lighting designer and engineer, commissioning agent, and facility manager, at the beginning of a project and referred to regularly during design meetings and drawing reviews.
Conventional information technology (IT) equipment and data center spaces can consume more than 100 times the energy of standard office spaces, so the potential for energy savings is huge. You can use this application guide to reduce your equipment energy consumption in any building with a data center, server closets, or other IT equipment (computers, printers, etc.). Some of these strategies are most effective at the beginning of the design process; others can be implemented at any time and be sequenced as part of the normal procurement and replacement schedule.

President Barack Obama urged Congress Tuesday to delay the looming sequestration cuts by passing a package of both spending cuts and tax hikes, but published reports said Wednesday that Obama's plan was DOA in the House.
While both the House and the Senate are "working toward budget proposals that I hope reflect this balanced approach," Obama said in his Tuesday remarks, "I know that a full budget may not be finished before March 1, and, unfortunately, that's the date when a series of harmful automatic cuts to job-creating investments and defense spending—also known as the sequester—are scheduled to take effect."
Obama told lawmakers that if they can't act "immediately on a bigger package" by the time the $85 billion in sequester cuts are scheduled to go into effect, they should at least "pass a smaller package of spending cuts and tax reforms that would delay the economically damaging effects of the sequester for a few more months."
A "balanced mix" of spending cuts and tax reform, Obama continued, "is the best way to finish the job of deficit reduction. The overwhelming majority of the American people—Democrats and Republicans, as well as independents—have the same view."
But House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, countered in his Tuesday remarks that Obama "first proposed the sequester and insisted it become law. Republicans have twice voted to replace these arbitrary cuts with common-sense cuts and reforms that protect our national defense." Republicans, he continued, "believe there is a better way to reduce the deficit, but Americans do not support sacrificing real spending cuts for more tax hikes. The president's sequester should be replaced with spending cuts and reforms that will start us on the path to balancing the budget in 10 years."
Joe Lieber with Washington Analysis says that he believes there is a more than 60% chance that sequestration will go into effect on March 1. But how long it continues, he says, is unclear. "The odds of it lasting through the entire fiscal year are no worse than 1 in 3. One of the many factors that will determine the policy's duration is how much political and economic upheaval it creates." Lieber said that "credible estimates" put job losses from a seven-month sequester at up to 1 million, with GDP drag up to 0.7%. "A sequester of this magnitude has never occurred, so the execution and impact of it is unknown," he said.
Republicans, Lieber said, "have clearly decided that sequestration provides them with their best leverage to try to extract a large 10-year deficit reduction bill." Consequently, "the GOP leadership and many, many of their rank and file are more than willing to allow the $85 billion in cuts go into effect if they are not fully offset with alternative, targeted reductions." Politically, Lieber continued, "we do not believe that the House GOP leadership can afford to allow a mix of revenue and spending offsets before March 1, which the Democrats will insist upon."
Despite the looming sequestration deadline, Obama noted that economists and business leaders have stated the economy is "poised for progress in 2013."
However, Obama also said that the nation has "seen the effects that political dysfunction can have on our economic progress," citing how the "drawn-out process for resolving the fiscal cliff hurt consumer confidence."
Political dysfunction, he said, "will cost us jobs and hurt our economy."
Indeed, the Congressional Budget Office released the same day its budget and economic outlook for the next 10 years, which stated that if the current laws that govern federal taxes and spending do not change, the budget deficit will shrink this year to $845 billion, or 5.3% of gross domestic product (GDP), its smallest size since 2008. Deficits will continue to shrink over the next few years, CBO said, falling to 2.4% of GDP by 2015.
However, CBO said that deficits are projected to increase later in the coming decade, "because of the pressures of an aging population, rising health care costs, an expansion of federal subsidies for health insurance and growing interest payments on federal debt." As a result, "federal debt held by the public is projected to remain historically high relative to the size of the economy for the next decade."
By 2023, "if current laws remain in place, debt will equal 77% of GDP and be on an upward path," CBO projects.

A risk factor is something that increases your chance of getting a disease or condition.
It is possible to develop COPD with or without the risk factors listed below. However, the more risk factors you have, the greater your likelihood of developing COPD. If you have a number of risk factors, ask your healthcare provider what you can do to reduce your risk.
Risk factors include:
The most important risk factor for COPD is cigarette smoking. Almost all COPD cases are caused by cigarette smoking. However, not all smokers develop COPD. Factors in your environment or genetic make-up also contribute to the development of COPD.
Smoking more "exotic" forms of tobacco, such as Chinese waterpipes, are can be even more harmful. In some cases, these can increase your risk more than traditional cigarettes.
Research suggests that people who are chronically exposed to secondhand smoke (in any form) may have an increased risk of developing COPD.
Genetic Factors
COPD usually develops in older persons with a long history of cigarette smoking. However, one form of emphysema has a genetic component. It runs in families. It is also more common in people of northern European descent. People with this form of COPD have a hereditary deficiency of a blood component. It is known as alpha-1-protease inhibitor (alpha-1-antitrypsin [AAT]). People with this defect can develop COPD at an earlier age. If you have close relatives who developed COPD in their 30s or 40s, your risk of this type of COPD may be elevated. A deficiency of AAT can be detected with blood tests.
You are more likely to develop COPD as you get older. This is partly related to the number of cigarettes smoked and the number of years as a smoker.
Medical Conditions
A history of frequent childhood lung infections increases your risk of developing COPD.
COPD is much more common in men than in women. However, this may be largely related to the higher rate of smoking among men. As the number of women who have significant smoking histories has increased, the number of COPD-related deaths in women has also risen.
Exposure to Environmental and Occupational Pollutants
Chronic exposure to dust, gases, chemicals, and biomass fuels increases your risk of developing COPD. These include smoke from burning wood, charcoal, and crop residue. Exposure to these can also worsen symptoms of the disease.

The Robo Retrofit House
A version of this article appears in the March/April 2011 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
March 05, 2011
Much is learned from a side-by-side study of a retrofit home and standard-built home.
A home built in the mixed-humid climate of Knoxville, Tennessee, with energy efficiency upgrades used 42% less energy than an identical standard built home in a side-by-side measured and modeled comparison. The two-story homes have three bedrooms, 21/2 baths, and 2,400 ft2 of living space. The house type, size, and dominant features were selected after a demographic housing study in the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) service territory determined that this was a typical house on the market from 2000 to 2008. The energy efficiency packages, all commercially available in the area, made a significant difference in energy use between the two houses. The Retrofit House has a HERS index of 68 (a HERS of 0 is a zero-energy house; a conventional new house would have a HERS rating of around 100). The identical Builder House next door has a HERS of 102.

text: Thursday, November 08, 2012 New in the Literature: Screening for Clinically Important Cervical Spine Injury (CMAJ. 2012;184(16):E867-E876.) Based on studies with modest methodologic quality and 1 direct comparison, the Canadian C-spine rule appears to have better diagnostic accuracy than the National Emergency X-Radiography Utilization Study (NEXUS) criteria when used to assess the need for cervical spine imaging, say authors of a systematic review published in CMAJ. Future studies need to follow rigorous methodologic procedures to ensure that the findings are as free of bias as possible, they add. For this review, the authors identified studies by an electronic search of CINAHL, Embase, and MEDLINE. They included articles that reported on a cohort of patients who experienced blunt trauma and for whom clinically important cervical spine injury detectable by diagnostic imaging was the differential diagnosis, evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of the Canadian C-spine rule or NEXUS or both, and used an adequate reference standard. They assessed the methodologic quality using the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies criteria. They used the extracted data to calculate sensitivity, specificity, likelihood ratios, and posttest probabilities. Fifteen studies of modest methodologic quality were included in the review. For the Canadian C-spine rule, sensitivity ranged from 0.90 to 1.00 and specificity ranged from 0.01 to 0.77. For NEXUS, sensitivity ranged from 0.83 to 1.00 and specificity ranged from 0.02 to 0.46. One study directly compared the accuracy of these 2 rules using the same cohort and found that the Canadian C-spine rule had better accuracy. For both rules, a negative test was more informative for reducing the probability of a clinically important cervical spine injury.


text: Thursday, May 03, 2012 New in the Literature: Mirror Therapy Program in Patients With Stroke (Am J Phys Med Rehabil. 2012 March 29. [Epub ahead of print]) A mirror therapy program is an effective intervention for upper-limb motor recovery and motor function improvement in patients with acute stroke, say authors of an article published in American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation. For this study, 26 patients who had an acute stroke within 6 months of study commencement were assigned to the experimental group (n = 13) or the control group (n = 13). Both experimental and control group patients participated in a standard rehabilitation program, but only the experimental group members participated in mirror therapy program for 25 minutes twice a day, 5 times a week, for 4 weeks. Researchers used the Fugl-Meyer Assessment, Brunnstrom motor recovery stage, and Manual Function Test to assess changes in upper-limb motor recovery and motor function after intervention. In upper-limb motor recovery, the scores of Fugl-Meyer Assessment (by shoulder/elbow/forearm items, 9.54 vs 4.61; wrist items, 2.76 vs 1.07; hand items, 4.43 vs 1.46, respectively) and Brunnstrom stages for upper limb and hand (by 1.77 vs 0.69 and 1.92 vs 0.50, respectively) were improved more in the experimental group than in the control group. In upper-limb motor function, the Manual Function Test score (by shoulder item, 5.00 vs 2.23; hand item, 5.07 vs 0.46, respectively) was significantly increased in the experimental group compared with the control group. No significant differences were found between the groups for the coordination items in Fugl-Meyer Assessment. Comments good Posted by good on 5/4/2012 9:56 AM it is very good for stroke patients. I am a PG student in rehabilitation. I am doing thesis on the effect of mirror therapy in upper limb function in stroke. Posted by ye htun soe on 5/14/2012 11:42 PM I am a student from Taiwan. I have a seminar about mirror therapy to stroke patients. I really need this paper. Can you send this paper to me. Thank you very much !!! Posted by Wei-ya Su on 9/10/2012 8:53 AM i am a pg student. I am doing research on the effect of mirror therapy for stroke patients..can i get the full content of this article Posted by suchithra on 2/13/2014 12:21 PM

Primitive Verilog
Call me Al. Some years ago — never mind how long precisely — having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me, I learned how to program computers using assembly and FORTRAN. (I apparently also read Moby Dick somewhere along the way.) After a few years I learned to program in PL/I (that last character is a Roman numeral one, so that's pronounced PL-one not PL-eye). What struck me about PL/I was that almost no one used all of it. IBM had developed the language to replace FORTRAN and Cobol and so it had features that were aimed at both types of developers. As a FORTRAN guy, I almost never used some features and I'm sure the Cobol guys didn't use some of mine.
I find the same thing happens with Verilog, but for a different reason. Verilog is decidedly schizophrenic. There is part of the Verilog language that synthesizers can commonly convert into FPGA logic and then there is an entire part of the language that doesn't synthesize. I do use a small amount of code that doesn't synthesize when writing test benches, but mostly I just figure out how to write test code using the synthesizable subset of Verilog.
Of course, different synthesizers, in theory, could handle different constructs, so your mileage may vary. The other day, I was reading someone else's test bench and ran into Verilog user-defined primitives (UDPs). I dimly remembered that these existed, and wondered why I didn't use them myself. I checked, and sure enough my usual synthesizer doesn't handle them.
There are two types of UDPs: combinatorial and sequential. As you might expect, the combinatorial is just logic and the sequential has a clock-based flip flop component. Here's a UDP that implements an XOR gate with an active low enable pin:
primitive ngated_xor(z,a,b,en_n); output z; input a,b,en_n; table // a b en_n z 0 0 0 : 0; 0 1 0 : 1; 1 0 0 : 1; 1 1 0 : 0; ? ? 1 : 0; endtable endprimitive
You can probably guess that the
? entries mean any value (0, 1, or x). You can create these just like you'd create a normal primitive like an
and gate:
ngated_xor gxor1(result, inA, inB, oe_n);
At this point, you have to wonder why this is interesting. You could get the same result (and synthesize it) with, say, a case statement or using a collection of gates. However, next time I'll talk about primitives that have state and can respond to signal edges as well as levels.
Perhaps like PL/I, I don't really need to use all the Verilog features. But it is still interesting to learn all that you can about your tools. I'll talk about sequential primitives next time. Meanwhile, if you want to wax nostalgic about PL/I, you might find the Iron Spring compiler for Linux interesting.

Anxiety is a state of dread, tension, and unease. It is considered a normal response to stress or uncertain situations. Feeling anxious for long periods of time or at intense levels may mean that you have an anxiety disorder. You may be diagnosed with an anxiety disorder if the anxiety:
- Occurs without an external threat (called "free-floating" anxiety)
- Is excessive or unreasonable for the situation or threat
- Negatively affects how you function during the day
The most common types of anxiety disorders are:
- Specific phobias
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Panic disorder
- Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
- Social anxiety disorder
- Generalized anxiety disorder
Anxiety may occur with other conditions such as alcohol use disorder , drug abuse , or depression .
Anxiety disorders may result from a combination of factors such as:
- Genetics
- Factors in the environment
Chemical imbalances in the brain may also play a role.
Risk Factors
Anxiety disorders are nearly twice as common in women than in men. Other factors that may increase your chances of anxiety disorders:
- Family member with anxiety disorders
- Stressful life events
- Poor coping strategies
- History of physical or psychological trauma
- Chronic medical illness
- Substance abuse
- History of self-harm as a teenager, with or without suicidal intent
Psychological symptoms may include:
- Worry or dread
- Intrusive or ruminative thoughts
- Sense of imminent danger or catastrophe
- Fear or panic
- Restlessness
- Irritability
- Impatience
- Uncertainty
- Trouble concentrating
Physical symptoms may include:
- Headache
- Fatigue
- Chest pain
- Rapid heartbeat
- Sweating (especially the palms)
- Dry mouth
- Flushing or blushing
- Muscle tension
- Shortness of breath
- Feeling lightheaded or fainting
- Difficulty sleeping
- Shaking
- Choking sensation
- Abdominal discomfort
- Nausea or vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Feeling of "butterflies" in the stomach
- Sexual difficulties
- Tingling sensations
- Nail biting or other habitual behavior
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical and psychiatric exam will be done. Conditions with similar symptoms will be evaluated. Blood and urine tests may be done.
Your doctor will ask questions about your:
- Use of alcohol and drugs
- Mental health history
- Family's mental health history
You may be referred to a psychotherapist for further evaluation.
Effective treatment usually involves a combination of interventions, including:
Lifestyle Changes
- Get sufficient rest and sleep.
- If you smoke, talk to your doctor about ways to quit .
- Reduce or eliminate caffeinated beverages.
- Excess alcohol use can make anxiety worse—drink alcohol in moderation.
- Avoid using drugs.
- Reduce exposure to stressful environments.
- Exercise regularly .
Relaxation Techniques
- Practice deep breathing and meditation .
- Learn how to do progressive muscle relaxation.
- Work with a massage therapist.
- Engage in pleasurable activities.
- Do yoga .
Social Support
- Have a strong support system of family and friends.
- Seek therapy to improve your coping skills.
- Join a support group .
This therapy addresses thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that play a role in anxiety. It helps you work through traumas and conflicts.
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) can help you identify negative thought patterns and behaviors. Over time, you can learn to retrain your thinking. This will help you respond better to stress and anxiety.
CBT has been very effective in children and teens.
For severe anxiety or anxiety disorder, medications may include:
- Antidepressants, such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and tricyclic antidepressants
- Buspirone
- Benzodiazepines
Talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of these medications. Some types may cause dependence.
To help reduce your chances of anxiety:
- Be aware of situations, occupations, and people that cause you stress.
- If unavoidable, confront and overcome situations that provoke anxiety.
- Find a relaxation technique that works for you. Use it regularly.
- Develop and maintain a strong social support system.
- Express your emotions when they happen.
- Challenge irrational beliefs and thoughts that are not helpful to you.
- Correct misperceptions. Ask others for their points of view.
- Work with a therapist.
- Avoid using nicotine or other drugs. If you drink alcohol, drink only in moderation. Moderation is 1 drink or less per day for women and 2 drinks or less per day for men.

Periodontal is a word meaning "around the tooth." Periodontal disease is a condition in which the gums, deeper supporting tissue, and bone around a tooth or teeth become infected and inflamed. Periodontal disease includes both gingivitis and periodontitis.
Periodontal disease is caused by an overgrowth of the bacteria that live naturally in the mouth. These bacteria are responsible for plaque the sticky white substance that develops on teeth. When plaque stays on a tooth long enough, it hardens into a solid material called calculus or tartar. This material is more difficult to remove from teeth than plaque. Over time, the presence of calculus causes gum inflammation or gingivitis. Gingivitis is a mild form of periodontal disease, affecting the gums. It is almost always reversible with proper treatment.
If gingivitis is not halted through careful treatment, then the inflammation may spread below the gum line and affect the deeper tissues and bone that surround and support the teeth. This condition is known as periodontitis. Untreated periodontitis can destroy the bone and other supporting tissues, leading to tooth loss.
Many cases of periodontitis begin with gingivitis. However, it is possible for the deeper infection of periodontitis to begin without identifying gingivitis.
Periodontal disease is a serious condition that needs to be thoroughly and carefully treated by your dentist. A variety of studies suggest the possibility of an association between periodontal disease and:
- An increased risk of coronary artery disease
- An increased risk of stroke
- Problems controlling diabetes
- Increased lung infections, especially in susceptible people
- Premature or early delivery of pregnant women with periodontal disease
- Low-birth-weight babies of women with periodontal disease
The chance of developing periodontitis increases with age. Approximately 8.5% of people aged 20-64 have periodontal disease, and 5% of adults aged 20-64 have moderate-to-severe periodontal disease. Seventeen percent of people aged 65 and older have the condition. Unfortunately, studies suggest that only a fraction of people with periodontitis are aware that they have the condition and are receiving treatment.What are the risk factors for periodontal disease?What are the symptoms of periodontal disease?How is periodontal disease diagnosed?What are the treatments for periodontal disease?Are there screening tests for periodontal disease?How can I reduce my risk of periodontal disease?What questions should I ask my dentist?Where can I get more information about periodontal disease?

Islands Announce Tour Dates
The modernist pop band Islands have announced a select series of live dates across North America. The critically acclaimed band will be performing songs from their highly anticipated new album A Sleep & A Forgetting which arrives in-stores on February 14th via Anti-Records.
The shows will be held in intimate venues recreating the confessional and deeply personal tone of this enthralling new album. While the new record continues the band's inclination for crafting adventuresome state of the art pop music, this time band leader Nick Thorburn has infused the songs with a deeply personal introspection which gives the record a new and powerful emotional resonance.
"This album is far more personal than any I've made before," Thorburn explains. "I left New York and came to Los Angeles and there was this piano where I was staying. And that's where I wrote these songs. The record deals with loss, with memory and forgetting and with dreaming."
The new record offers all the shimmering sonic textures and irresistible melodies that have come to define Islands enduring appeal, but there is a deeply personal cathartic undercurrent to the songs, transforming personal unrest into affecting and soulful pop music.

Spirals or fusilli are Eden's most popular macaroni cut. High plains family organic Khorasan (kamut®) wheat is an ancient variety. Its large golden kernels make superior whole grain pasta with sweet flavor and a smooth texture. Many sensitive to modern wheat enjoy kamut. Made by the Eden Organic Pasta Company on vintage Italian equipment with brass dies and slowly air dried. Provides 50mg of omega 3 essential fatty acids (EFAs) per serving. Rich in protein, healthy fiber, and magnesium. A good source of iron, thiamin B1, niacin B3, and zinc. In a reclosable, recycled and recyclable box with a tasty recipe and its photo on the back.
* See Detailed Description for qualified FDA Health Claim
Eden Organic Kamut Spirals are made of organic whole grain Khorasan grown on family farms in the high plains of Montana and North Dakota by those committed to building vital soil, cleansing the environment, and producing the safest and most nutritious and delicious food. One of our 100 percent whole grain pastas providing essential whole grain nourishment, delicious flavor, and surprisingly light texture.
Eden Organic Kamut Spirals are small batch hand crafted at the Eden Organic Pasta Company, a Detroit landmark using traditional pasta making techniques and vintage Italian equipment since 1923. The Eden Organic Pasta Company was the first food production facility in North America to be third party certified organic. Whole Khorasan wheat is milled into flour at our organic, AIB highly rated, Clinton, Michigan mill. The flour is blended with purified water and slow, thorough kneading prepares the dough. Using a traditional screw press, the dough is extruded through an artisan brass spiral die, cut into individual spirals, and spread on drying racks. A patient drying process using steam and air finishes the pasta perfectly, with about 16 hours in the final drying room. When ideal the spirals are packaged. Each step helps to create pasta of exceptional flavor, texture, and character. The pasta is packaged in a reclosable box, with a delicious recipe and photo from Eden's kitchen printed on the back.
All Eden Organic Pasta is packaged in boxes made from recycled and recyclable paperboard, one of the most environmentally friendly packages available. According to the 100 percent Recycled Paperboard Alliance (RPA100.com), "Fourteen trees are saved for each ton of paperboard converted to 100 percent recycled paperboard. Trees are critical to the sequestration of CO2 (a greenhouse gas) in North America. For each ton of paperboard converted to 100 percent recycled paperboard, an equal amount of recovered fiber has been diverted from municipal landfills. Production of 100 percent recycled paperboard uses 50 percent less energy compared to virgin grades of paperboard, thus significantly reducing the greenhouse gases released into the environment."
Khorasan Triticum turgidum spp. turanicum is an ancient grain with large gold kernels native to Asia Minor and Egypt, often referred to as 'King Tut's' wheat. It is related to the ancient grain spelt and is a distant relative of durum wheat. Its plump gold kernels called 'berries' are almost 3 times the size of modern hybrid wheat. Khorasan wheat is allergy friendly. Although it does contain gluten it's highly water soluble gluten making it easier to digest than modern wheat. This is due to Khorasan's unique nutritional composition. Research by the International Food Allergy Association (IFAA) says, "For most wheat sensitive people, Kamut grain can be an excellent substitute for common wheat." Dr. Ellen Yoder, President of IFAA and a team of independent scientists and physicians arrived at this conclusion after studying two groups of wheat sensitive people - those with immediate immune system responses and those with a delayed immune system response. The delayed immune response group showed a remarkable 70 percent greater sensitivity to common wheat than to Kamut. With the immediate immune response group, those who were severely allergic, they found that 70 percent had no, or minor reaction to Kamut. The Kamut Association of America and Europe calls kamut "the wheat you can eat." Khorasan was introduced to America by an organic farmer in Montana in the 1940s. It is a rare non-hybridized wheat that offers the highest protein of any wheat.
Whole grain is the heart of a healthy diet providing the broadest spectrum of nutrients in the proportions that we need for good health and well being. Commercial pasta is made from highly refined chemically treated flour, processed in minutes through Teflon dies and ultra high heat or microwave drying, resulting in inferior flavor, diminished nutrition, poor cooking quality, and questionable value.
Scientists at the USDA Human Nutrition Research Center at Tufts University say, "Whole grains help regulate blood sugar by slowing down the conversion of complex carbohydrates into sugar. In fact, low-glycemic index foods such as whole grains reduce hunger and can help to control weight." Scientists at the Agriculture Research Service completed a study of more than 2,000 people concluding, "at least three or more servings of whole grain foods everyday could reduce the chances of developing metabolic syndrome - a condition marked by a combination of abdominal obesity, high blood pressure, poor blood sugar control, low HDL 'good' cholesterol and high blood fats."
According to the FDA, "Diets rich in whole grain foods and other plant foods and low in total fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart disease and some cancers." The FDA also states, "Low fat diets rich in fiber-containing grain products, fruits, and vegetables may reduce the risk of some types of cancer, a disease associated with many factors." Eden Organic Kamut Spirals are heart healthy,100 percent whole grain, low in total fat, low in saturated fat and cholesterol free, and an excellent source of dietary fiber. Furthermore, "Diets low in sodium may reduce the risk of hypertension or high blood pressure, a disease associated with many factors." Eden Organic Kamut Spirals are made without salt and are sodium free. They are also rich in protein and magnesium, and a good source of carbohydrate, iron, thiamin (B1), niacin (B3), and zinc.
When you bite into properly cooked, al dente, Eden Organic Pasta the flavor and character of the grain is evident. Eden Organic Kamut Spirals are made from whole, fresh, unbleached, non enriched flour. It doesn't need to be enriched because the grain has not been stripped of its nutrients. Eden Organic Pasta enhances energy, balance, clarity, and well being.
Eden Organic Kamut Spirals are versatile pasta that is delicious any way you chose to prepare it. It's spiral shape and chunky size make it an especially good choice for casseroles and pasta salad, with beans or chunky sauces. Please try Spirals with Garbanzos, Olives, and Artichokes in our recipe section.
