Rheumatoid Arthritis: In Depth
On This Page
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a health condition that causes pain, swelling, stiffness, and loss of function in the joints. Conventional medical treatments are highly effective for RA; however, researchers are also studying complementary health approaches as possible additions to RA treatments. Some complementary health approaches for RA are intended to reduce joint inflammation, and some are intended to reduce symptoms such as pain. This fact sheet provides basic information on RA; summarizes scientific research on the effectiveness and safety of selected mind and body practices, dietary supplements, and other approaches that have been studied for RA; and suggests sources for additional information.
Key Points
- In general, there is not enough scientific evidence to prove that any complementary health approaches are beneficial for RA, and there are safety concerns about some of them. Some mind and body practices and dietary supplements may help people with RA manage their symptoms and therefore may be beneficial additions to conventional RA treatments, but there is not enough evidence to draw conclusions.
- Some complementary health approaches—particularly dietary supplements—may have side effects or may interact with conventional medical treatments or each other. Although many dietary supplements (and some prescription drugs) come from natural sources, "natural" does not always mean "safe." In particular, the herb thunder god vine (Tripterygium wilfordii) can have serious side effects.
- Conventional treatments are highly effective in slowing or stopping permanent joint damage in RA. Do not replace conventional medical therapy for RA with an unproven health product or practice.
- Tell all your health care providers about any complementary health approaches you use. Give them a full picture of what you do to manage your health. This will help ensure coordinated and safe care.
About Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis is an inflammatory autoimmune disease—a type of condition in which the immune system, which normally protects the body by fighting infections and diseases, instead targets the body. RA is different from other types of arthritis such as osteoarthritis, a wear-and-tear condition that most commonly occurs as people age. In RA, the immune system attacks the tissues that line the joints, causing pain, swelling, and stiffness in the joints and affecting their ability to work properly. Over time, RA may damage bone and cartilage within the joints and weaken muscles, ligaments, and tendons that support the joints.
RA often begins in middle age and occurs more frequently in women than in men. Although RA primarily affects the joints, particularly the wrists and fingers, some people with RA may have other health problems, such as anemia, dry eyes or mouth, and heart or lung problems. People with RA may have fatigue, occasional fevers, or a general sense of not feeling well. They may also experience other symptoms such as depression, anxiety, a feeling of helplessness, and low self-esteem.
Early treatment to avoid permanent joint damage is key for preventing disability and progression of RA. Treatment for RA combines a variety of approaches and is aimed at relieving pain, reducing joint swelling, slowing or preventing joint damage, and improving physical function and well-being. Conventional medicines used for RA include:
- Disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) to slow the progress of the disease
- Biologic response modifiers to reduce inflammation and structural damage to the joints
- Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and corticosteroids to reduce inflammation.
Other treatments include surgery, physical therapy, modified exercise programs, and devices that ease physical stress on the joints (such as splints). People with RA are also encouraged to make lifestyle changes such as balancing activity with rest, eating a healthy diet, and reducing emotional stress.

About Scientific Evidence on Complementary Health Approaches
Scientific evidence on complementary health approaches includes results from laboratory research as well as clinical trials (studies in people). It provides information on whether an approach is helpful and safe. Scientific journals publish study results, as well as review articles that evaluate the evidence as it accumulates; fact sheets from the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH)—like this one—base information about research findings primarily on the most rigorous review articles, known as systematic reviews and meta-analyses.
What the Science Says
In general, there is not enough scientific evidence to prove that any complementary health approaches are beneficial for RA, and there are safety concerns about some of them. Some mind and body practices and dietary supplements may be beneficial additions to conventional RA treatments, but there is not enough evidence to draw conclusions. This section describes the scientific evidence on several complementary health approaches studied for RA.
Mind and Body Practices
Results from clinical trials suggest that some mind and body practices—such as relaxation, mindfulness meditation, tai chi, and yoga—help people with RA manage their symptoms and therefore may be beneficial additions to conventional treatments.
- Acupuncture has been studied for a variety of pain conditions, but very little acupuncture research has focused on RA. Reviews of the research on acupuncture have found conflicting evidence regarding its usefulness for RA.
- A 2010 systematic review looked at the benefits of mind and body techniques such as mindfulness meditation (which involves nonjudgmental attention to experiences in the present moment), biofeedback, and relaxation training on the physical and psychological symptoms associated with RA. There was some evidence that these techniques may be helpful, but overall, the research results have been mixed.
- A 2008 study compared cognitive-behavioral therapy that emphasizes pain management with mindfulness meditation for RA. The researchers found that mindfulness meditation, which helps regulate emotions, improved participants' ability to cope with pain. The researchers noted that participants with a history of depression responded better than others to mindfulness meditation.
- A few small studies have been conducted on tai chi for RA. In general, tai chi has not been shown to be effective for joint pain, swelling, and tenderness, although improvements in mood, quality of life, and overall physical function have been reported.
- A 2010 study examined the effect of practicing tai chi on 15 patients with RA. The researchers found that tai chi improved muscle strength and endurance, but there was no evidence that it reduced disease activity or pain.
- A 2007 systematic review of the research concluded that the value of tai chi for treating RA is still unproven. Many factors—including differences in tai chi styles, number of movements, length of the practice, and qualifications of instructors—add to the challenge of designing quality tai chi studies. Some people have reported soreness, but most studies have found that tai chi is relatively safe for people with RA.
- Yoga incorporates several elements of exercise that may be beneficial for arthritis, including activities that may help improve strength and flexibility. However, only a few studies have examined yoga for RA. Preliminary studies have found that yoga may improve physical function and decrease the number of tender and swollen joints. Yoga exercises should be performed with caution by people with RA who have limited mobility or spinal problems. People with RA may need assistance in modifying some yoga postures to minimize joint stress and may need to use props to help with balance.
Dietary Supplements
No dietary supplement has shown clear benefits for RA, but there is preliminary evidence for a few, particularly fish oil, gamma-linolenic acid, and the herb thunder god vine. Dosage and safety issues and potential interactions with conventional medicines need to be more thoroughly evaluated.
Fish oil contains high levels of omega-3 fatty acids—substances the body needs to perform a number of important functions. Types of fish high in omega-3s include herring, mackerel, salmon, and tuna. Fish oil supplements are available as capsules or oils.
- Clinical trials on RA have found that fish oil supplements may help to relieve tender joints and morning stiffness. Studies have also found that fish oil may reduce the need for NSAIDs and other conventional RA medicines. For example, the results of a randomized, controlled clinical trial published in 2008 found that people who received a blend of cod liver oil and fish oil over a 9-month period reduced their NSAID intake by more than one-third, compared with those who took a placebo.
- Because the omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil may make blood clot more slowly, people who take medications that affect clotting, such as anticoagulants, should discuss the use of fish oil supplements with a health care provider. Products made from fish liver oils (for example, cod liver oil) may contain vitamins A and D as well as omega-3 fatty acids; these vitamins can be toxic in large doses.
- For more information on omega-3 fatty acids, see the NCCIH Web site.
Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) is an omega-6 fatty acid found in the oils of some plant seeds, including evening primrose (Oenothera biennis), borage (Borago officinalis), and black currant (Ribes nigrum). In the body, GLA may be converted into substances that reduce inflammation.
- There is some preliminary evidence that GLA may be beneficial for RA; however, the quality of the studies on GLA has been inconsistent. The more rigorous studies suggest that GLA may relieve symptoms such as joint pain, stiffness, and tenderness; in some cases, GLA led to a decreased need for NSAID medication.
- Side effects of GLA may include headache, soft stools, constipation, gas, and belching. Some borage oil preparations contain chemicals called pyrrolizidine alkaloids that may harm the liver.
Thunder god vine (Tripterygium wilfordii) has been used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine. Extracts are prepared from the skinned root of the herb, as other parts of the plant are highly poisonous. Thunder god vine can cause severe side effects.
- Findings from laboratory and animal studies suggest that thunder god vine may fight inflammation and suppress the immune system. A 2011 systematic review looked at three human studies of oral (taken by mouth) thunder god vine and one study of topical (applied to the skin) thunder god vine for RA. The data showed that both oral and topical thunder god vine may improve some RA symptoms, but the study methods were not consistent among the trials.
- A systematic review of the research on thunder god vine for RA concluded that serious side effects occurred frequently enough that the risk of using it outweighs its benefits. Depending on the dose and type of extract, thunder god vine may cause serious side effects. Thunder god vine can affect the reproductive system, possibly causing menstrual changes in women and infertility in men. Long-term use may decrease bone mineral density in women, potentially increasing the risk of osteoporosis. Other side effects can include diarrhea, upset stomach, hair loss, headache, and skin rash.
Research on other supplements for RA symptoms is still in the early stages. For example:
- Varieties of boswellia (Boswellia serrata, Boswellia carterii, also known as frankincense) produce a resin that has shown anti-inflammatory and immune system effects in laboratory and animal studies, but no rigorous clinical trials in people with RA have been conducted.
- Laboratory studies have identified anti-inflammatory compounds in ginger (Zingiber officinale). Most of this research has focused on the anti-inflammatory properties of gingerol compounds—the components of ginger that give it flavor. A 2009 study funded in part by NCCIH examined whether nongingerol compounds had an antiarthritic effect in rats. The researchers found that ginger extract with both gingerol and nongingerol components prevented joint inflammation and destruction better than ginger extract containing only gingerols. They concluded that the nongingerol compounds may play a role in the antiarthritic properties of ginger. Although these laboratory and animal studies show some promise, studies regarding ginger extracts for RA symptoms in people are lacking.
- A 2010 NCCIH-funded review has found evidence that substances found in green tea might be useful for RA and osteoarthritis, but the effects of these substances in either type of arthritis have not been fully tested in people.
- In animal studies, extracts of turmeric (Curcuma longa) containing the chemical curcumin were found to protect joints from inflammation. Building on previous laboratory research that examined turmeric's anti-arthritic properties, a 2010 study, funded in part by NCCIH, looked at whether turmeric essential oils (TEO) protected joints in rats. The researchers found that an oral dose of TEO had an anti-inflammatory effect specific to the joints. There may be a potential role for turmeric or its components in preventing or slowing RA disease, but this has not yet been demonstrated in people.
Other Types of Complementary Health Approaches Studied for Rheumatoid Arthritis
Other complementary health approaches have been studied for RA:
- An NCCIH-funded preliminary study of Ayurvedic medicine, a system of healing that originated in India and involves using individually prescribed combinations of herbs, found that classic, individualized Ayurvedic approaches, methotrexate (a conventional medication frequently used to treat RA), or a combination of both were equally effective in reducing symptoms of RA. Because this was a small, preliminary study, its results, although promising, are insufficient to show definitively that Ayurvedic medicine is helpful for RA.
- Balneotherapy is the technique of bathing in tap or mineral water for health purposes. Preliminary research on balneotherapy for RA has been conducted in areas where it is most popular, such as Europe and Israel's Dead Sea region. Although some benefits have been reported, there is not enough reliable evidence to draw conclusions.
- Some people with RA may try following special diets—such as vegetarian and vegan diets, the Mediterranean diet, and periods of fasting—to control symptoms. Research on these diets has been inconclusive. Although a few studies suggest that decreasing or eliminating meat, dairy, or foods likely to cause allergies may help in some cases, others do not. One drawback is that special diets may be difficult for people to follow over time. In addition, some diets could put people at risk for nutritional deficiencies.
- Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) encompasses multiple practices, including acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, and others. Several practices that are part of TCM, including acupuncture, tai chi, and the herb thunder god vine, have been studied individually for RA, as described above. Some research has also been done on TCM as a whole for RA symptoms and for relief of side effects from conventional RA treatments, but no conclusions can be reached because of the poor quality of some of the research, variations in study design, and insufficient data on safety.
If You Are Considering Complementary Health Approaches for Rheumatoid Arthritis
- Do not replace proven conventional treatments for RA with unproven health products and practices. Do not change your use of prescribed RA medications without consulting your health care provider. Going without effective treatment for RA could lead to permanent joint damage.
- Be aware that some complementary health approaches—particularly dietary supplements—may interact with conventional medical treatments. Also consider the possibility that what's on the label of a dietary supplement may not be what's in the bottle; for example, some tests of dietary supplements have found that the contents did not match the dose on the label, and some herbal supplements have been found to be contaminated. To learn more, see the NCCIH fact sheet Using Dietary Supplements Wisely.
- Women who are pregnant or nursing or people who are thinking of using a complementary health approach to treat a child should consult their (or their child's) health care provider before using any complementary health approach.
- Tell all your health care providers about any complementary health approaches you use. Give them a full picture of what you do to manage your health. This will help ensure coordinated and safe care.
NCCIH-Funded Research
Recent NCCIH-supported research includes projects studying:
- Approaches such as yoga, fish and borage seed oils, tai chi, and relaxation for RA symptoms, physical function, and quality of life
- How celastrus, a Chinese herb, works on a cellular level and if it has the potential to treat certain autoimmune diseases such as RA.

Your sex life can be great, but wouldn't it be nice to learn about 5 tips for better sex? While everything can be just great in the bedroom, why not learn about ways to enhance you and your partner's sex life in order to spice things up? No matter what your skill level or how satisfied you are, these tips can help make a good thing even better.
- Be spontaneous. We've all heard it before but it really does work; spontaneity adds a sense of newness to a relationship. Getting into a sexual rut can harm a healthy relationship by causing boredom and a feeling of the same old thing. By being spontaneous and adventurous, your sex life can seem like new and add that kick to your erotic encounters.
- Be daring. Think about something you've always wanted to do or consider a fantasy you've always wanted to live out. While you may not be able to be in that Greek orgy you've dreamed about, there are role play sessions that you and your partner can try that will make your love life exciting again. If you've always wanted to have sex in a public place, go for it. Just play safe and make sure you're safe from breaking any laws that could get you in trouble.
- Listen. Good communication is a key element in an exciting relationship. Find out what your partner likes to do and let them know what your fantasies are. Chances are, they may be similar or you can take turns in acting out each other's fantasies.
- Get down and dirty. Sex doesn't have to be boring. Incorporate sex toys into your relationship, talk dirty, do something you've never done before and just have fun with it. Maybe your girlfriend or wife has never had any interest in sex toys but they can really enhance her orgasms as well as make your sex more intense. If she is hesitant start with something small such as warming lubes or a vibrator that is discreet.
- Take your time and just enjoy it. Sex doesn't have to be something you're trying to win at. There's no reason why you can't take your time and get to know each other intimately. Although a spontaneous quickie can be exciting, if you have the time then use it. Find ways to touch each other in new ways, play a sex game or share a romantic meal with wine; whatever leads up to the main event can be just as exciting.
There is not a set formula to better sex but there are ways to ensure that things will be more exciting. By utilizing the 5 tips for better sex, you'll have a head start on an exciting and better sex life.

The San Manuel varsity basketball team faced off against the Lions from Pusch Ridge on Dec. 4 at their den in Oro Valley with The Miners taking a 49 – 35 loss, the Miners could not hold back the Lions as Pusch Ridge made a 15 – 3 run in the first quarter and sneaked by the Miners 11 – 10 in the second quarter to take a 26 – 13 lead at the half. In the second half, the Miners narrowed the gap finished the half 23 – 22 but still took the loss.
Leading the Miners was Andre Sierra with 15 points, three assists, and one steal, Andy Monfred chipped in with 11 points, grabbed 15 rebounds, had two assists, and blocked two shots, Andres Moreno scored five points, with one rebound, and two assists, and Jordan Peasley scored four points with five rebounds, and one assist.
Head Ryan Sichting said, "We started the game down 15 to 3 after the first quarter.A poor performance starting out the game was what lost us the game. We struggled getting into our offense and we had way too many turnovers. We also shot poorly from the field and free throw line. During the game we shot 18 perrcent from two point field goals and shot 50 perrcent from the free throw line. We will struggle to win games if we continue to shoot poorly. It makes every position count when you struggle offensively."
The Miners made the trip up to Globe on Dec.6th, 7th , and 8thto compete in the Copper Cities Tournament as San Manuel picked up a win out of five games-getting some good court time.
San Manuel lost to Pima 33 – 29, the Miners got the win over Miami 39 – 30, they got doubled up against San Carlos 54 – 25, the Miners lost a close one to Florence 48 – 47, and played Florence again but with a much different results as the Miners lost 64 – 25.
Coach Sichting said, "As a team we went 1-4 in the Copper Cities Tournament. We lost two games that we should have won. We also played a lot of players in the tournament. As a coach I got to see what players struggled and what players showed potential. The good thing about playing in tournaments is that they don't count against your power rankings and you get game experience. We also played against a lot of different styles of basketball. Most importantly we saw our major weaknesses as a team. Now we just have to improve in those areas."
On Dec. 14 , the Miners hosted the Griffins from Greenfields taking a 40 – 31 win in a tough game, San Manuel jumped out to a 24 -13 lead at the half and were outscored by the Griffins in the third quarter 9 – 4 but re-grouped in the fourth quarter to take the momentum finishing the quarter 12 – 7 for the victory.
Leading the Miners was Andre Sierra with 21 points, six rebounds, two assists, and three steals, Andy Monfred scored 12 points with nine points, one assist, three steals, and one block, and Andres Moreno scored four points with five rebounds, and one assist.
Coach Sichting said, "This was a good win for the team. We shot the ball better from the field than we have the last few games and limited our turnovers.We need other players to step up and score for us. Defensively we played well as a team. We improved on boxing out and only allowing one chance to score."
The Miners will host the Hayden Lobos today with the JV playing at 4 p.m. and the varsity taking the court at 7 p.m.

Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB) are medicines used to treat a heart attack, heart failure, or decreased functioning of the left side of your heart (left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD).
ACE inhibitors can help reduce the risk of death from a heart attack if taken within 24 hours of the first symptoms of a heart attack. Continued use may help prevent heart failure. ACE inhibitors work by stopping the production of a hormone that narrows blood vessels. This helps reduce the pressure in your heart and lower blood pressure. If you have a heart attack, you should be prescribed ACE inhibitors before you leave the hospital.
The chart above shows the percentage of heart attack patients that were given ACE or ARB inhibitor for LVSD.

the Lu Ann and Doran Weinstein Memorial Scholarship Fund. The bequest will
eventually generate $34,000 a year in need-based scholarships.
The Jacksonville
couple attended music programs at UNF and had a deep appreciation for the value
of higher education in the community, said their granddaughter, Robyn Moore.

motivation behind the bequest. "They traveled

Weinstein, a successful Jacksonville businessman, died in 1995, the terms of
his will were carried over to Bear's will, Moore said. The will divided their
bequest according to their areas of interest — business for Weinstein, and
visual arts and music for Bear.
Bear was
born in Louisville and moved to Jacksonville in 1981 after she married
Weinstein. Moore said her grandmother left behind a very successful career in
advertising and was also an accomplished portrait painter. She built a studio in
Jacksonville and devoted much of her spare time to crafting clay pots.

held a number of business positions in Washington, D.C., New York and
Louisville, where he met Bear. Weinstein was president of Daylight Industries
in Jacksonville at the time of his retirement.

higher education, said Dr. Pierre Allaire, UNF's vice president of
Institutional Advancement. "The generosity of this couple exemplifies the
commitment to higher education we see in our community," Allaire said. "We are
grateful for the gift and are thrilled with the prospect of assisting more
students to obtain a transformational education at UNF."

- My name is Lola. (I'm not a showgirl) Yes, L-O-L-A Lola. It's the least of my worries. Let's move on, shall we? This blog is mostly about my misadventures on the journey to publication and beyond. My passion for lush prose, quirky characters, art, music, literature, performing arts and anything creative will be a major theme here. This journey of mine will not always be pretty. Much like rubbernecking a train wreck, I know sometimes you just can't help but look at the carnage that is often my life. So strap on your neck brace, helmet and 5-point harness and come along for the ride! Licentia poetica.

When I was in the dizzy blooms of pregnancy, this was where I imagined I'd be going every week once the bub arrived: the Electric Cinema in Notting Hill. Huge comfortable armchairs and sofas, softly lit table lamps, delicious food - the Electric's Tuesday morning "Screaming" was going to be my home from home for the next year. It'll be great I thought. I'll get to see every new release while my softly snoring babe snoozed in my lap.
That was the plan.
|The Electric Diner
I went ages ago, and this post is just appearing now because I always thought I'd go back. I didn't. But really, you should go. It's an ace place. But try to time it for when Cosmo isn't there.
And if you go, check out the attached Electric Diner before the screening (you access the cinema - right by the screen - through a very cool secret door by the toilets). We had a scrumptious breakfast and while it's not the most buggy-friendly restaurant, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome. If we don't make it back to the cinema, we might just come back here and eat another plate of waffles...

Why Clarkson for EHS?
Clarkson University has one of the few undergraduate Environmental Health Science (EHS) programs in the country. The program is interdepartmental with course work in Chemistry, Engineering, Biology, Business, and Health Sciences with the option the tailor their studies in any of these areas.
EHS at Clarkson also offers:
- Learning about the environment in the environment (6-million acre Adirondack Park)
- Close mentoring relationships with instructors
- Small class sizes
- Work and conduct research with professors recognized as leaders in their fields
- Hands-on experience through course projects
- Internships
- Co-ops
- Capstone projects
EHS is administered through Clarkson University's Institute for a Sustainable Environment (ISE) which allows access to state-of-the-art equipment and laboratories as well as three centers for student and faculty collaborative research: the Center for Air Resources Engineering and Sciences (CARES), the Center for Sustainable Energy Systems (CSES), and The Great Rivers Center (GRC).
"EHS allowed me to take the basics of chemistry and biology courses and find concrete ways to apply the skills I learned. The professors are really dedicated to their students and the classes are dynamic. At Clarkson, undergraduates create their own research projects and conduct studies in major industrial plants. Where else can you find these kinds of opportunities?"
-Eleanor Wade '09
Hazmat suits help EHS students put their own twist on a campus competition where clubs "suit up" like CU President Tony Collins. The group won $250 for their unique picture, which they used to buy shirts for club members.

Hoke hoping Michigan establishes tough identity
ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) Michigan hired Brady Hoke to turn its program around, and the coach is still trying to get it back on track heading into his fourth season.
"The identity of this team is still one that we're developing and trying to develop," Hoke said Sunday during his news conference at media day.
And Hoke is anxious to see some improved results on the field after two straight lackluster seasons.
"There were a lot of depth issues that we've had," he said. "That's not an excuse because here are no excuses. No. 1, we've got to do a better job at what we're doing."
The Wolverines lost five of their last six games last year, prompting Hoke to fire offensive coordinator Al Borges, hire Doug Nussmeier and shuffle his staff on defense.
Michigan maintains its goal is to win a Big Ten championship, a trophy the school has not earned in a decade.
"The expectations never change," Hoke said. "If you lower the bar, ever, I think you're making a mistake."
Hoke's boss, athletic director Dave Brandon, said it would be a mistake to say it's a make or break year for a coach with three years left on his six-year contract.
"I don't think it is a pivotal year," Brandon said Sunday in an interview with The Associated Press. "It is another year to make progress and show growth with more recruits who are the type of athletes he wants for his style of play."
Hoke had 11 victories in 2011, went 8-5 the next year and 7-6 last season, but Brandon said Hoke is having success in other ways as the Wolverines' leader.
"Sadly, there are people who only care about wins and losses," Brandon said. "Part of Brady's job description is to teach life lessons that help young men become successful in life, and he's doing a great job at that."
Will Hagerup would agree perhaps more than any other current player.
The 2012 All-Big Ten punter is eligible to play this season after sitting out all of last year following a suspension for violating unspecified team rules.
"The biggest thing coach Hoke did was set aside football when he said to me, `I'm not speaking to you as a coach. I'm speaking to you as a mentor and as a person who has gone through things in my life,"' Hagerup recalled. "That was so huge for me."
Michigan defensive coordinator Greg Mattison said what Hoke has done since he was hired Jan. 11, 2011, has been "unbelievable," including going 69 for 69 on graduating seniors.
"All you hear about in today's world is how dysfunctional some of the kids are and how we cheat the athletes," Mattison said. "Every senior that has come through here since we got here has graduated."
Michigan, though, expects to win on the field as well as in the classroom, and there seems to be a position group that might make that a challenge this season.
The Wolverines are replacing two senior tackles on their offensive line, including first-round pick Taylor Lewan, and have not settled on a starting five. If some inexperienced players emerge and turn potential into production quickly, Hoke might get what he is looking for this year.
"I want it to be a football team that can run the football and have a toughness at the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball," he said. "I think the identity part of it is a toughness that this program has had for many years. That's part of what I'm looking for and believe me, it's been verbalized enough to the players."

Android posts 250% year-over-year growth with 850k daily activations
It's no secret that Android is the star of the party at Mobile World Congress this year. Most of us are caught up in all the news about new devices, but Google's Andy Rubin has taken a little time out of his busy day to share some new statistics about the Android ecosystem. In ... Read More »

Age: 26
Sponsors: Rome Snowboards, Arc'teryx Equipment, Sweet Helmets, The Rude Boys Snowboard Shop, Hillbilly Wax Works, Whistler/Blackcomb
Years snowboarding: 16
Roots: Banff/Lake Louise, Alberta, Canada
Home: Coastal B.C. is my home now, but Whistler/Blackcomb is my local hill.
Height: 6'0″
Weight: 172 lbs.
Stance: Goofy, 22.5 inches wide, with 24-degrees angle on the front foot and negative-six on the back.
Forward lean: I use a fair bit 'cause I like the responsiveness. I use less in the backcountry so my board isn't super edgy at speed or on landings.
Board: I ride a Rome Design 162 ($550) most of the time. I'll ride the 158 a bit in the late spring and summer, and the 165 for AK style sometimes. I like to get used to one board and just stick with it. The Design is super versatile and rides everywhere. I ride a centered stance for everything, and I don't want to be changing between different boards and different stances for different riding.
Boots: Rome Folsom ($230) in black, size 10.
Bindings: Rome Targa ($230) in white.
Personal Settings: I have a very specific technique for lacing my boots. Liners get done up tight. Shells get done up tight around the ankle and then progressively looser toward the shin, and I never do up the top lace hook on my shells. My boots feel forgiving initially that way, but progressively more supportive the more I push on 'em.
Tuning techniques: I learned riding up in subzero Rockies weather that it's worth waxing a lot. I don't ride a ton of rails, so I'd rather have sharp edges for most everything else, especially a lap through the pipe.
Jacket: Arc'teryx Fission SV ($550) in basalt.
Pants: Arc'teryx Scorpion pants ($375) in north sea.
Gloves: Rome Hoss ($75).
Goggles: IS Dsgn Mikey Leblanc Stealth series strike ($120). Which lens depends on weather, but mostly I like to use rose iridium.
Helmet: Sweet Helmets Trooper Halfcut ($189) in legend brown.
Riding style: I definitely like riding natural terrain and powder. I like riding jumps into pow, cliffs into pow, pillows in pow, steeps in pow, and slashing pow. But really I like everything: jib runs, speed runs, and park runs-it's all a blast just sliding on snow.
Between the tight trees, downed lumber, shrubbery, snow snakes, cliffs, and rocks, this drop is more than the majority of riders can handle. Jonaven styles a method-no big deal. Whistler backcountry. Photo: Phil Tifo

"Of supposedly serious contemporary writers, Gilbert Keith Chesterton was the first to make a strong and genuine impression on me....Even now I see something romantic, almost heroic, about Chesterton, while deploring what in those days I knew nothing of, his self-indulgent polemical writing and the whimsical playing with paradoxes so common in his later fiction....I think it was The Man Who Was Thursday that started me off....I only know that, after a surfeit of supposedly realistic accounts of the workings of espoinage organizations...I long for The Last Cursade and Gabriel Syme with his cloak and sword-stick, and wish that there were a few more books like this."Chesterton, G. K. is the author of 'Man Who Was Thursday ', published 1986 under ISBN 9780486251219 and ISBN 0486251217.[read more]

We already talked about iOS 7 yesterday (after a night of sleep, it's only looking worse and worse - look at this, for Fiona's sake!), so now it's time to talk about the downright stunning and belly flutters-inducing new Mac Pro. As former owner and huge, huge, huge fan of the PowerMac G4 Cube - I haven't been this excited about an Apple product since, well, I would say the iMac G4. This is the Apple I used to love.

Sorry, I misread your comment I guess.
Still 10 years out of the same machine, in a field which advances almost exponentially seems not that feasible. Of course that depends on usage patterns for the machine...
Still 10 years out of the same machine, in a field which advances almost exponentially seems not that feasible. Of course that depends on usage patterns for the machine...
Truth, but to be fair, save for select fields, while machines continue to get faster and faster, software is not quite outpacing them in terms of demands for resources.
The biggest demands of modern software is mostly memory. CPU demands have somewhat increased, but even today much of that need is being met by multiple cores since they're now ubiquitous (cores I have).
Compilers don't need exponential more amounts of CPU, databases don't, word processing doesn't, etc. The largest consumer of CPU resources is video, and the other growth consumer is video games and GPUs. Since I run a Mac, I've already disqualified myself in being a high end gamer. But, say, Diablo 3, runs fine, as an example. (I upgraded the GPU once couple years ago. The existing card failed.) I also don't do any video work.
The other bottleneck was I/O and SSDs have "solved" that problem for the mid-term. Now, memory is the new disk, to the point that Apple (among others I'm sure) is willing to "sacrifice" abundant CPU resources for memory by compressing idle VM pages.
Clearly the software has become more complex, does more things, is "slower" over time given static hardware environment. But the differences aren't dramatic enough that "seat of the pants" notices it. I do not consider my machine to be "slow" today. Rather, it's "fast enough".
By over specifying and over building early, I save myself from mucking with hardware, upgrading, moving software, etc. on a "routine" basis. A frustrating and painful experience in most cases, even on a Mac. I don't enjoy messing with computers.
Plug it in, set it up, plug in a Time Machine drive, hit "update" when it lights up. Blow the cat fur out maybe once a year.
7 years, and I've lost my Time Machine drive once, and the video card died on me. I think my DVD is sick too.

Newspapers Who Relied On Bebo Party Report Sued For Defamation
from the fact-checking?-who-does-that-any-more? dept
There was just one problem: much of the story was apparently made up by the girl.
Now the mother of the girl is suing six newspapers for writing the story (found via Slashdot). There are a lot of questions raised by this. The woman's daughter spread the story herself -- so if the mother has a complaint, you would think it's with the daughter. But, at the same time, what kind of newspaper reports on something like that based on a single first-person account of the 16-year-old hosting the party, rather than getting any kind of fact check confirmation?
Still, it seems like some of the questions being drawn from this are going in the wrong direction. The article reports:
The case is expected to have far-reaching consequences for third parties who use or publish information from social networking sites. Lawyers say it could place a duty on all second-hand users to establish the truth of everything they want to republish from such sites. Mrs Hudson not only denies the allegations but accuses the newspapers of misusing information posted by her daughter on the Bebo site, saying there was no legitimate public interest in publishing material from the site. Mrs Hudson says that, because the information was inaccurate, the papers cannot rely on the defence of fair comment.That threatens to be quite chilling. If you can't republish direct quotes from someone who was at an event, it would seem to be quite stifling. I recognize this is in the UK, which has much stricter libel laws, but it still sounds like it might be going too far. As for the "copyright" claim, that's the most questionable of all. Claiming that the fact that her daughter's own account was incorrect means that "fair comment" is no longer allowed is ridiculous. If you're quoting someone for news purposes, the copyright issue shouldn't depend on whether or not the person you're quoting is lying.
Her solicitor, David Price, said the case raised important issues of libel, privacy and copyright in relation to the unauthorised use of material taken from social networking sites.

NEWARK, N.Y. -- Stevens Institute stayed alive in the Division III New York Regional with a 10-3 victory against Union (N.Y.) on Thursday at Colburn Park in Newark, N.Y. It is the first tournament victory in program history for Stevens and the 27 win on the season ties a program record.
The Ducks put together a near perfect contest against Union (26-12-1) on Thursday with 15 base hits and seven stolen bases. Stevens' bottom third of the lineup went 7-for-14 at the plate with four runs scored, four runs batted in and four stolen bases.
Senior Dan Allen singled in the first at bat for Stevens but that was the only runner to reach for the Ducks to start the contest.
Union led off its half of the first with a base hit, only to watch an attempted sacrifice bunt turn into a fielder's choice at second base. After another out was recorded, junior Gregg Nickels threw out a Dutchmen trying to steal second to end the inning.
Nickels then put the Ducks up, 1-0, on a single through the left side with one out in the second. Sophomore Tyler Bush scored on the play after he reached on a walk and stole second to move into scoring position. Junior Marc Calleo stepped up next and lined a base hit to left to drive in Nickels to give Stevens a 2-0 edge. Nickels advanced to second on a throw home on his base hit.
The Dutchmen once again placed a runner on by way of a single in the bottom of the second, but ran into some bad luck with a line drive double play which concluded the frame.
Stevens crossed another one over the plate in the third on a sacrifice fly from Allen that brought in sophomore Jonathan Toro. Toro was hit by a pitch and stole second before moving to third on a bloop single by junior Brian Hennelly. Allen remained on the bases on a dropped fly ball during his sacrifice fly and advanced to second.
The Ducks looked destined to score at least one more in the frame, but a fielder's choice at home negated Hennelly from scoring and Allen was picked off at second to erase the threat.
Nickels dropped a one-out double just inside the right field line and came home on a base hit to center off the bat of freshman Harrison Kaye to stake Stevens to a 4-0 lead through four innings.
In the fifth, Stevens tacked on three runs on three hits to build its advantage to 7-0. Hennelly started the rally with a single and then Allen was hit by a pitch. Yano was up next and bunted for a base hit before sophomore Nicholas Sieber singled through the left side to drive in Hennelly. Bush brought Allen in on a sac fly and Nickels followed with another sac fly to push Yano across.
Union answered with two runs in the bottom half on a pair of wild pitches. The Dutchmen scored both runs with two outs after back-to-back base hits and a balk put both runners in scoring position.
That was the only time Union got to Yano, who tossed five innings and gave up five hits with two strikeouts in a winning effort. Yano also went 3-for-5 at the plate with a run scored, RBI and stolen base.
The Ducks got one back in the sixth on an RBI single by Yano that plated Toro. Stevens loaded the bases with no outs after Kaye led off with a single, Toro was hit by a pitch and Hennelly walked. After a fielder's choice retired Kaye at home, Yano stroked his base hit to center. The bases remained full, but Sieber grounded into a double play which halted anything else for the Ducks.
Stevens continued its torrid offensive outburst in the seventh with a two-out rally. Calleo and Kaye each singled to start the rally and then Toro dropped a base hit in over the head of Union's shortstop to drive in Toro. Kaye then advanced to third on a stolen base and swiped home on an attempted pick off of Toro at first to put the Ducks ahead, 10-2.
In the seven-thru-nine slots in the order, Nickels went 2-for-4 with two runs scored an RBI and double. Calleo batted 2-for-5 with a run and RBI, while Kaye stole four bases and went 3-for-5 with a run scored and RBI.

To the Editor:
"Continue to serve." Continue to serve? No apology? No call for redemption? Are you kidding us?
CJ Donovan is charged with drunk driving, not having mandatory car insurance, speeding, reckless driving, lying to the police officer, and carrying a gun without a permit and he wants to "continue to serve." What the hell is his definition of the word "serve?"
Hey CJ, you said you "cannot comment." You meant that you don't care enough about the people who voted you in to "comment." News flash CJ, the voters deserve an explanation.
What kind of an arrogant example does this send to our children?
Donovan needs to explain his actions.
Donovan needs to apologize for his disgusting behavior.
Donovan needs to resign immediately!
Our children deserve a much better role model.

Check out our review of the Orb Audio Mini-T V2 amplifier.
Chip-maker Tripath may have filed for bankruptcy in 2007, but the explosive growth of Class D amplifiers in speaker docks and portable Bluetooth speakers proves it was on the right track with the technology behind its "Class T" integrated circuit – just not operating on the right schedule. Music lovers on a budget looking for great sound quality have a wide selection of Class T and Class D products in 2013, including the revised Mini-T amplifier from Orb Audio, which was relaunched this week for only $69. The Mini-T has appeared and disappeared more than once, so this may be the time to finally pull the trigger.
Class D+ amplification has taken a quantum leap with products such as the Devialet D-Premier and Intuition 01 from Wadia Digital, but those products aimed at high-end audio consumers also come with a case of severe sticker shock.
Orb Audio, however, has focused on the entry-level customer, offering amplification and loudspeaker systems for under $300. With the new Mini-T amplifier, they are clearly aiming for the smart phone and desktop-audio crowd who want better sound quality, but lack the space for larger components and don't want to break the bank doing it.
The Mini-T is still based on the original Class T amplifier technology, but now offers lower harmonic distortion and utilizes "gold pin" Tripath amplifier chips. The signal path has also been redesigned and a subwoofer output is now included. The footprint of the new Mini-T has also been reduced, making it ideal for a desk or nightstand. Plug your iPhone into the mini headphone jack and/or run a set of interconnects from your Blu-ray player or DAC, and you are ready to go.
At only fifteen watts per channel, the Mini-T is not going to drive large inefficient monitors or floorstanding loudspeakers to ear-bleeding levels, but combined with a pair of Orb's speakers or a modest pair of bookshelf speakers, one could assemble a rather impressive little system for under $300.
The $69.00 Mini-T is available now.

Miners stay perfect in 4A action
BAUXITE- The Bauxite Miners used the 3-pointer and a second half run in a 57-42 victory over the Malvern Leopards on Friday night at Fred Dawson Gymnasium.
The Bauxite Miners were led by sophomore forward Ben Madison who recorded a double-double with 21 points and 10 rebounds.
"We stay on him to do all the little things right. Tonight I think he did lots of good things," Bauxite Coach Mark Smith said of Madison. "He was on the boards for us big time. Ben played a really good game."
Bauxite and Malvern battled back and forth in the first half as Malvern jumped out to a quick 3-0 lead on a jumper by senior guard Khalid Dawn. Bauxite would answer right back on a jumper by Madison to tie it up with 6:09 remaining in the first quarter. Both teams would trade baskets until Malvern used a 10-0 run to end the first quarter capped by a long 3-pointer at the buzzer by Dawn to lead 16-10 at the end of the first quarter.
Bauxite would answer right back to start the second quarter on a 3-pointer by junior guard Hunter Holder to make the score 16-13. After a tightly contested second quarter, Bauxite would break the tie with 15 seconds left on a layup by Madison to lead at halftime 30-28. It's a lead they would never relinquish.
"We kind of just took what they were giving us and it happened to be threes, and luckily we were hitting them, Smith said. "I think we did a better job executing where we were supposed to be [in the second half].
Bauxite came out on fire in the third quarter in capping off a 16-4 run with help from five 3-pointers including an 11-0 run to end the quarter with Bauxite leading 46-32. Madison, Holder, and senior forward Tyler Hill provided the 16-point outburst to blow the game wide open as Malvern couldn't match the scoring.
Malvern would finally end the run on a layup by senior forward Travon Polk with 7:01 remaining in the game, but the damage was already done. The Leopards would manage just 10 points in the final quarter as the Miners were able to cruise to the 15-point victory.
Along with Madison, Bauxite was led by Hill who added 19 points and three rebounds. Senior guard Chris Revas added eight points while Holder chipped in with seven points. Senior forward Logan Williams added two points and four rebounds.. Malvern was led by Polk with 14 points and sophomore guard K.J. Felders who added nine points.

Throwing Bandwidth At Your Network Problems Isn't Enough
Posted by
Steve Wexler
March 18, 2011
The data center is undergoing an unprecedented change, with new demands, vendors, technologies and architectures. In a three-part series, Network Computing takes a closer look at what's happening in the data center, starting with networking, and followed by servers and architectures.
The good old days of just throwing bandwidth at your network problems are over. Data center networks are being affected by flattening, convergence and server virtualization, says Jim Frey, managing research director, Enterprise Management Associates. "The first two are somewhat related, and reflect a move toward simplicity and higher capacity as data and storage traffic is being sent over common wires. Flatter, converged networks represent new requirements and new competitive fronts, though, in my opinion, the existing, established network equipment manufacturers are well aware of this and are already well engaged."
Network Computing Special Report: How Cisco Is Changing The Datacenter
Part 2 - Cisco Faces Uphill Battle Selling Data Center Servers
Part 3 - Lots of Changes, But Top Storage Vendor Lineup To Remain Intact
Part 4 - Data Centers: Who's On First?
Part 5 - Data-Center Diversity Drives IT Agendas
The huge and growing interest in converged infrastructure solutions--such as IBM's BladeCenter, HP's Matrix and the Virtual Computing Environment (VCE) coalition's Vblock-- is part of this, as well, he adds. "Though this largely affects the server/systems side of the data center equation, the integrated networking aspects of these solutions must also be taken into account when defining data center architectures. Further, the integrated, multidomain aspect of converged infrastructure--compute, storage and networking--presents new challenges and opportunities for integrated and converged management."
Frey thinks server virtualization is an enabling technology that will have a significant long-term effect on data center networking as higher-order traffic management, security and manipulation are increasingly delivered within virtual networking devices, such as virtual switches, virtual routers, virtual security appliances, virtual application delivery controller appliances and virtual WAN optimization appliances.
"This is a very important trend as it is a world of pure software, meaning that traditional barriers to entry for new and disruptive technology vendors are significantly lower. Most of the traditional network infrastructure vendors have recognized this, and most are moving to offer solutions for it, but we'll be watching this space particularly closely going forward as it's likely to be very dynamic, in 2011 and beyond," he says.

Mayor's Office
A presentation by Kirk Smalley, whose son committed suicide after being bullied, is now airing on the City government access channels - 5 CITY-TV and 10 Health (Time Warner Cable channels 5 and 10). The Oklahoma man was in Lincoln for a March 22nd program at the BryanLGH College of Health Sciences, co-sponsored by the School Community Intervention and Prevention Program. The channels also will air a one-on-one interview with Smalley.
Smalley and his wife Laura of Perkins, Oklahoma started an anti-bulling" campaign after their 11-year-old son Ty committed suicide in May 2010. He had been suspended from school for pushing another child who had bullied him for years. Students at Oklahoma State University started a Facebook page in his honor called "Stand for the Silent,"and it has become an international movement. The Smalleys have spoken at about 375 schools, and the Lincoln visit was part of a 10-day tour across Nebraska.
The channels also are airing a lecture by Dr. Susan Swearer, professor of school psychology at UNL and Co-Director of the Bullying Research Network. Her lecture was titled "The Real Truth About Bullying Prevention and Intervention: What Can Parents, Teachers and Students Do?" Swearer was unable to attend the March 22nd program at St. Mark's United Methodist Church, so the lecture was presented by Dr. Eve Brank, her colleague in the Psychology Department.
According to the American Justice Department, one out of every four children is victim of bullying, and at least two children are bullied every seven minutes. AmeriCorps and ServeNebraska are sponsoring "Nebraska Stand for the Silent" Friday April 20 and are asking schools and other organizations to observe a seven-second moment of silence, recite an anti-bullying pledge and release balloons. More information is available at serve.nebraska.gov.
5 CITY-TV and 10 Health also are running public service announcements for "Stand for the Silent" and plan to air other anti-bullying presentations. Program schedules for 5 CITY-TV and 10 Health are available at lincoln.ne.gov. The program on Kirk Smalley also can be viewed through video-on-demand and the YouTube sites for 10 Health and 5 CITY-TV.
Programming on 10 Health is made possible by a grant from the Community Health Endowment of Lincoln.

Thread: Pepsi X
Pepsi X
Saw the new, limited edition, Pepsi X dragonfruit flavor in a store today. It's going to piss off lots of Pepsi drinkers, the 20oz package looks too much like regular Pepsi and the dragonfruit wording is in tiny lettering, people are going to think they have grabbed a regular Pepsi. I might have to try one, but I'm not too thrilled with this flavor.
http://www.theimpulsivebuy.com/wordp...vored-pepsi-x/Whatcha gonna do mama now that the roast beef is gone?
The way the board has been so slow lately, and since I don't watch TV, I had no inkling that this Pepsi X was about to come out. I had totally forgotten about that taste test tour they did last spring.
I bought a 12-pack yesterday though. It was in a small grocery store and the only reason I noticed it, is they had it in the Throwback slot, and I pulled one out to see if maybe there was a Throwback hiding in the back row. The "X" does not stand out very well at a glance... so at first I thought it was just some limited edition packaging. It was only after I saw the "Dragonfruit Flavored Cola" that I realized what it was. So I bought one. Had I not had it "in hand" I'd have never paid any attention to it, as I only buy Throwback for regular Pepsi.
It's kind of odd - similar to Next in that it's reduced calorie, 110 calories/can, with HFCS, Ace-K and Spenda. No aspartame. I like it better than Next Cherry Vanilla. (never tried that Mango flavor).
Haven't seen any images of the fridgepack packaging, so here:
Give me some cane sugar real Pepsi in a glass bottle... and not Throwback!

I bought a 2-Liter of it at Stater Bros. here in Orange, CA and it just so happens that I'm drinking it right now.
First off, this stuff is really light. It almost looks like iced tea, a very light brown as opposed to the normal cola brown.
As for taste, I don't know about what a dragonfruit actually tastes like, but this sort of reminds me of Pepsi Holiday Spice. I have read that Dragonfruit is a very light flavor, so I'm guessing it's just being overpowered by the cinnamon and ginger flavors they added as an X Factor.
It's OK, but I won't be buying it again. I wasn't a fan of Holiday Spice either.
EDIT: Now that I've had a little more, I'd say there's not much of a cinnamon flavor, and it's more like a weird ginger ale than anything else. Still reminds me of Holiday Spice, but overall it's an odd mix of flavors.

I just tried Pepsi X today. It tasted like cinnamon ginger ale. It was a little easy for me to spot it.

I didn't notice any cinnamon at all - maybe that's because I'm a life-long Atomic Fire Ball and Cinnamon Fire Jolly Rancher eater... I'm used to STRONG cinnamon! I just cracked one open and yeah - the "nose" on it kind of has that feel of a house that someone sprayed cinnoman air freshener in a few hours ago.Give me some cane sugar real Pepsi in a glass bottle... and not Throwback!

Tried Pepsi X, liked the taste of it. Reminded me of Pepsi Holiday Spice but with a slight taste of fruit added.
What I did not like about Pepsi X is the graphics. Since all the Pepsi products are running the X Factor promotions, it made Pepsi X almost appear as regular Pepsi, but with promotional graphics.

I didn't realize Pepsi X was a separate flavor, I too thought it was Pepsi w/ X Factor packaging. I may pick some up if I can still find it.
