Vitamin B3 Video No. 11
Niacin (Vitamin B3) is more commonly known as nicotinamide in the biochemical community and plays an important role in the biosynthesis of pyridine nucleotides. This nitrogen heterocyclic biochemical is combined in vivo with the nucleotide adenosine to form nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), which serves as a soluble electron carrier in biochemical reactions. Common sources of niacin include cheese, beans, milk, meat, poultry, fish, eggs, whole grains, and brewer's yeast. Clinically, niacin serves to maintain normal function of the digestive system, helps to reduce cholesterol levels, and serves to reduce dizziness and ringing in the ears.

Josh Beckett (1-1, 2.92) vs. Tim Lincecum (8-14, 5.21)
So...where were we?
June 25-27: Giants sweep Dodgers.
July 27-29: Dodgers sweep Giants.
August 20-22: Giants sweep Dodgers.
If the pattern holds, we're due to go in and sweep this weekend. I'm all for that, as long as the pattern gets broken October 1-3.
As badly as we all want a sweep, though, the smart thing to do is stick to the cliche of "one game at a time." It's not a must-win, but yeah, it totally is.
To make things more depressing, this is the only game of the series that will be blessed with Vin's golden commentary, as the weekend games are national broadcasts. Hey Dodgers, how about you get him the win you owe him from Bobblehead Night?

The Women Who Feed the World
08 Mar 2013
On Fadiouth Island in Senegal, the women rise early each day to tend to children and domestic chores before beginning their work transforming local millet into couscous. The laborious process is carried out over two days: the grain of locally grown millet is husked, sifted, and washed in the sea before being ground to create an unusual salted couscous. This ancient tradition has been passed down through generations of the indigenous Serer people, and today local women are being supported to continue upholding their community's food security through the Slow Food Fadiouth Island Salted Millet Couscous Presidium.
Like the Serer, women all around the world are responsible for growing, transforming and preserving local harvests. In the demanding environments of the Pamir Mountains in Tajikistan, women in the Pamir Mulberry Presidium harvest more than 60 varieties of mulberries, which are enjoyed fresh or used to make jams and sweeteners for tea. In Brazil, in the dry lands of the Sertão, the Umbu Presidium producers collect fruit from the wild umbu tree to produce jams and preserves. And in Macedonia the traditional recipe for slatko, a wild fig preserve using otherwise-inedible fruit, remains in the hands of a few women united in the Wild Figs Slatko Presidium.
In these areas, as in many parts of the world, women traditionally have an important role in providing food for the community and for their families. They cultivate the soil, look after the seeds of traditional plants, and safeguard recipes of the local cuisine. Yet the situation of women farmers is too often a story of a denial of the fundamental and inalienable right to feed themselves.
We tend to forget that the future of many developing countries is in the hands of women. According to FAO, if women farmers had access to the same opportunities and resources as their male counterparts, their productivity would rise significantly and the food security of millions of people would be improved. Our job is to support them, put their demands for rights at the center of debates on development, campaigns and actions of political pressure from civil society. We must support their projects and sustain their work, as we have been doing in the Slow Food Foundation for Biodiversity's projects.
Today, on the occasion of International Women's Day, Slow Food salutes the women around the world whose work is essential to communities, families and the future of agriculture.

Do products that use magnets affect medical devices such as pacemakers?
I use a medical device such as a pacemaker, defibrillator, or variable pressure shunt for hydrocephalus treatment. What should I be aware of?
Medical devices such as pacemakers, defibrillators, or variable pressure shunts for hydrocephalus treatment may be affected depending on the magnetic field of the magnet in the product.
If you use one of these medical devices, consult your doctor before using a Sony product that contains magnets, as some of said products may affect the medical device.
In addition, even if you turn off the product, the magnet in the product may still affect medical devices. Make sure to keep the product away from medical devices and people using medical devices.
NOTE: In the example of Sony products, parts such as speakers, headphones, cases, or the opening/closing portion of the product's package may contain magnets. Speakers may be built into TVs, cameras, or smartphones.
