Grading on a Curve: NBA Team Grades at the BreakFebruary 16, 2010
With the season halfway over, it's time to see which teams are passing this season's tests with flying colors, and which teams still need to do more homework.
The grades aren't only based on performance, but on expectations as well.
For example, the Kings and Timberwolves are taking remedial classes to help them for the future, while the Spurs and Cavs are taking the most rigorous championship-level courses in a quest to become valedictorian.
On to the grade book.
Atlanta Hawks: A
The Hawks are right on the precipice between being a very good team and a championship-caliber team. Either level is a step above where many thought they'd be. Josh Smith's maturity has been the biggest difference maker, but Marvin Williams has quietly become a solid two-way player. Do they have the bench to survive an injury and will the starters and super-sub Jamal Crawford be burned out come the playoffs?
Boston Celtics: D-
Kevin Garnett's athleticism is sapped, Ray Allen is slipping, and the team's depth is non-existent. Rasheed Wallace is even less willing to play in the post, he shoots far too many blanks, and his normally superb help defense has deteriorated from the beginning of the season. Tony Allen isn't ready for prime time, and what did the Celtics expect out of lumbering Sheldon Williams anyway? Rajon Rondo has been the team's only constant. If the Celtics want to win another ring, they'll need a major postseason from Paul Pierce.
Charlotte Bobcats: A-
The Bobcats' defense has been solid throughout and Stephen Jackson has given their impotent offense a shot in the arm. Can Gerald Wallace continue his miraculous season, and will Tyson Chandler provide anything to help secure the franchise's first ever playoff berth?
Chicago Bulls: C
It took Derrick Rose a quarter of a season to attack the rim and stop settling for floaters. John Salmons isn't a two-guard and couldn't replace Ben Gordon's lost production. Adding Kirk Hinrich to the starting lineup has improved Chicago's spacing, shooting, and speed but for every great performance (like Chicago ripping apart the Western Conference playoff picture on a six game road winning streak), the team lays too many eggs. Chicago should be better than what they are.
Cleveland Cavaliers: A+
LeBron James was implored to improve his shooting stroke, his mid-range game, and his on-ball defense and he's grown by leaps and bounds in each area. And nobody has ever had his combination of speed, strength, and skill. The Cavs have learned to incorporate Shaquille O'Neal, but Anderson Varejao has been the team's unsung hero. They defend, they shoot the lights out, and they have the team's best player. The Cavs are clearly the class of the NBA.
Dallas Mavericks: C
The team's perimeter defense fell apart forcing their desperate but necessary acquisition of Caron Butler. Dirk Nowitzki still isn't a good help defender, and Josh Howard was too flaky to be reliable, hence his being shipped out. If Caron Butler isn't the answer, where does Dallas go next?
Denver Nuggets: A-
Carmelo's been his usual spectacular self, Nene's the most unheralded big man in the league, and the Nuggets have athleticism galore. Aaron Afflalo has replaced and exceeded everything Dahntay Jones provided, while Kenyon Martin does the dirty work on defense. If J.R. Smith stops whining and starts producing, the Nuggets absolutely have the goods to win the West.
Detroit Pistons: F
The Pistons' continuity doesn't work because Rodney Stuckey isn't a smart distributor and Jonas Jerebko doesn't set the same screens as Antonio McDyess and Rasheed Wallace used to. They can't play iso-ball because Tayshaun Prince, Rip Hamilton, and Ben Wallace aren't one-on-one players. The team doesn't play hard for John Kuester, and don't have faith in him. He's the second straight swing-and-a miss coaching hire, while Ben Gordon and Charlie Villanueva have been swing-and-a-miss free agent signings. Sacrilege as recent as two years ago, one more strike and Joe Dumars may be out.
Golden State Warriors: F
Even with zero expectations, the Warriors find ways to embarrass themselves. Don't blame the players though, they're simply following Don Nelson's orders. Blame him for an absurd small-ball gameplan, and Chris Cohan for letting Nelson run willy-nilly.
Houston Rockets: A
Chuck Hayes and Shane Battier have been non-scorers, Trevor Ariza can't create his own shot, the team's defense has suffered under the need to generate offense, and yet the Rockets are alive and kicking for a playoff berth in the West. Rick Adelman is easily this season's Coach of the Year.
Indiana Pacers: D
The Pacers have no commitment to defense, and a team-wide shortage of athletes. Sure Danny Granger can ball, but he spends too much time on the perimeter and is too defenseless to be a premier player. A.J Price isn't quick enough to be a fixture at the point, and Roy Hibbert is slower than a tree. The Pacers need to be committed to a youth movement that extends beyond Granger.
Los Angeles Clippers: D
Eric Gordon is talented and Chris Kaman is solid, but what else is there? Baron Davis' performance—and interest level of playing for the Clippers—is sporadic at best. Marcus Camby continues to be less than meets the eye, and there's nothing coming off the bench. The team needs a higher basketball IQ, and Baron Davis' departure. That Blake Griffin guy probably wouldn't hurt either.
Los Angeles Lakers: C+
They're starting to round into form, but they've needed to be bailed out by Kobe Bryant too many times. Pau Gasol is getting pushed around like it's 2008, Derek Fisher continues to degrade, Andrew Bynum still suffers from maturity problems, their depth has been compromised due to injuries, and Kobe's dominated the ball too often. On the other side, they still have more talent than anyone else, including the Cavs, Nuggets, Magic, and Celtics. They know that Kobe can push them over the top late in games, and they've played with togetherness in his absence the last several games. If Kobe's talent can merge with the team's continuity, the Lakers will overtake the Cavs as the team to beat.
Memphis Grizzlies: A+
The future is now in Memphis. O.J. Mayo and Rudy Gay are growing up, Zach Randolph is playing the best basketball of his career, and Marc Gasol plays above his years. They still have to add an impact point guard and improve defensively, but the Grizz will be flashing their claws from here into the near future.
Miami Heat: B+
Few teams get the most out of limited rosters as the Heat do. The youngsters haven't made strides, Jermaine O'Neal, Jamaal Magloire, Quentin Richardson, Carlos Arroyo and Rafer Alston are all over the hill, and Dwyane Wade's had to carry the team all on his lonesome. Miami's counting down the days until free agency starts—and praying that Wade is still with them when they rebuild their roster.
Milwaukee Bucks: A
How are the Bucks not a bottom feeder? Brandon Jennings' quickness, Luke Ridnour's court awareness, Ersan Illyasova's shooting, Andrew Bogut's post play (but only against subpar teams), and Scott Skiles' perpetual demands for smart play and hard work.
Minnesota Timberwolves: D-
It's a given that Kevin Love and Al Jefferson can't play together, but everything else is a mystery. Is Corey Brewer a key part of the future? What to do with Ricky Rubio? And where can they find an athletic wing scorer? Three years of questions, precious few answers.
New Jersey Nets: F-
Devin Harris is the league's least improved player, Yi Jianlian is the league's softest player, and Courtney Lee's game is lost and nowhere to be found. Brook Lopez is okay, but he's too stiff to be an impact center. It's one thing to be bad. The Nets are embarrassing.
New Orleans Hornets: D+
The Hornets are still a team that relies too much on their point guards. Byron Scott needed to go so Darren Collison and Marcus Thornton could get more minutes. Peja Stojakovic and Emeka Okafor have been disasters. Hilton Armstrong gave them nothing, but the Hornets still have little frontcourt depth. It'll be a major surprise if the Hornets sneak into the playoffs with Chris Paul out for another month.
New York Knicks: C+
The team lives and dies with Chris Duhon. When he's shooting well, the Knicks' drive-and-kick offense performs well enough to scare any team in the league. If he isn't shooting well, the Knicks don't have talented one-on-one scorers to score consistently. David Lee's become a terrific offensive player and rebounder, but his defense is awful, as are most of his teammates. The franchise is close to purging itself of the mistakes of the Isaiah Thomas era, but signing LeBron James is a pipe dream and not a reality.
Oklahoma City Thunder: A+
The more Kevin Durant plays, the better he gets at making scoring points appear effortless. Russell Westbrook is an uber-talented running mate who is improving by leaps and bounds, and Scott Brooks has the team committed to defending, sharing the ball, and playing as a team. Last year, people thought the Thunder might be the worst team in NBA history. This year, they're right in the thick of the Western Conference playoff hunt. The scary thing is that they're only going to get better.
Orlando Magic: C
The Vince Carter trade has been a disaster as Orlando's offense isn't as sharp without Hedo Turkoglu as their prime decision maker. Instead of Turk's ball movement, the Magic have been stuck with Carter's timid drives to the rim, bad shot selection, and poor decision making. With Carter forcing the offense, there've been less touches for Dwight Howard and Rashard Lewis, Orlando's true prime-time players.
Philadelphia 76ers: D-
Lou Williams hasn't developed into the point guard the Sixers need him to be, Elton Brand isn't the same as he was before signing with the Sixers, and Andre Iguodala isn't a go-to scorer. The team misses Andre Miller and isn't benefiting from Eddie Jordan's almost whimsical rotations and game plans.
Phoenix Suns: B
Steve Nash is the eighth wonder of the world and the glue holding the Suns to a playoff spot. Their return to the run-and-gun stylings popularized Mike D'Antoni has helped generate an offense that masks their deplorable defense. If they do make the playoffs, they'll be cooked in the first round.
Portland Trail Blazers: B
Brandon Roy's surprising petulance and reluctance to play alongside Andre Miller set a bad tone from the start, and the bad karma has continued with a rash of injuries. Through it all, the Blazers have plugged away and would be one of the West's eight playoff teams if the postseason started today. Credit Nate McMillan for getting the team to play with togetherness through a trying season. They'll still need a low post scorer and post defender if they want to advance in the postseason.
Sacramento Kings: A
They've fallen on hard times after a hot start, but in Tyreke Evans they have the athletic star they've been searching for since the Chris Webber days expired. Omri Casspi has been a pleasant surprise, and the kids play with enthusiasm. What's next on Sacramento's to-do list? A back-to-the-basket player, and an answer as to whether they fancy Evans a shooting guard or a point guard.
San Antonio Spurs: D
Tim Duncan is graceful enough to continue to produce despite diminishing athleticism, but what has happened to Manu Ginobili? Richard Jefferson has provided absolutely nothing, Roger Mason hasn't duplicated his 2008-09 success, and in Duncan, DeJuan Blair, Antonio McDyess, and Matt Bonner, the Spurs are lacking in frontcourt athleticism. San Antonio was supposed to be the main challenger to the Lakers in the West. Instead, they're behind Denver, and perhaps Utah in the West's pecking order.
Toronto Raptors: B-
The Raptors sure can shoot the ball. And with enough of an inside presence from Chris Bosh, and enough defense from Jarrett Jack and Amir Johnson, the Raptors have reared their teeth after a disappointing start. Don't expect the Raptors to escape the first round though.
Utah Jazz: B
Andrei Kirilenko's re-entrance into the starting lineup has energized the Jazz. Their offense is crisper, and AK47 provides defensive length and athleticism to a frontcourt that desperately needs it. The Jazz execute their offense as well as any team in the league. In other news, the sky is blue and the grass is green.
Washington Wizards: F
It was embarrassing enough to expect a team jacked with perimeter shooters and lacking everywhere else would be successful, but Gilbert Arenas' idiocy sunk the franchise to new lows. Caron Butler was having a miserable go of it before being traded, and Nick Young and Andray Blatche are too immature to realize their considerable gifts. The Wizards kept assuming that a defenseless, perimeter-oriented roster would ever taste postseason success (one playoff series victory over a mediocre Bulls team in six years is not success). Now, Ernie Grunfeld has to pay the price.

How to suspend a task from a kernel module
I'm trying to write a kernel module to stop users from using more than a certain percentage of CPU.
I managed to calculate what percentage of CPU each user is using on the system but I can't find a way to suspend their processes (and later on resume then) when they have reached their threshold.
I have the "struct task_struct *p" for each process I want to suspend. I tried changing p->state or p->time_slice but it doesn't work and I can't find a clear way to stop the process from running.
Any idea ?
Thanks in advance,

Reversible gas becomes ruinous for Ukraine
$ 167 per thousand cubic meters – that's how much it will cost to Ukraine of Russian gas in the third quarter. Russian gas will be significantly cheaper so-called reverse, which Ukraine prefer to buy in Europe. It will help Kyiv save tens of millions of dollars – but to completely abandon the reverse of Ukraine will not at all desire.
Gazprom has defined the price of gas for Ukraine in the third quarter 167,57 dollars per thousand cubic meters. This low price is formed according to the formula of the contract price from 2009, Chairman of the Board of Gazprom Alexey Miller. In the second quarter, based on the same contract, it was $ 177 dollars per thousand cubic meters, but Kiev with the new year buys only the reverse gas.
"The price under the contract with Russia, which Ukraine denounces as non-market is not just competitive, like all previous times, and, in fact, out of grace"
"A preliminary account of the company "Naftogaz of Ukraine" on display. In order to resume the supply, the NAC should only make an advance payment", – he said, adding that the current contract does not require any additions. "Gazprom is guaranteed to deliver gas to our Ukrainian colleagues as much as it will be paid", – assured Miller.
It is curious that the Naftogaz believes that the price of Russian gas will be higher, referring to the caloric value of the gas.
In the letter to Gazprom at the beginning of June the Naftogaz wanted to resume gas supplies at the signing of the additional agreement like the "winter package" under which Ukraine was granted a temporary discount, and was given a temporary exception of the condition "take or pay".
However, Gazprom insisted that price and so will be more than competitive, so I didn't see the need to provide discounts. Miller confirmed that "the gas price for Ukraine is lower than in European trading floors to our contract, and the purchase of Russian gas for Ukraine is the best".
"The volumes that our Ukrainian colleagues to report third quarter significant enough to three billion cubic meters of gas," said Miller. "This volume is absolutely justified. We are following very closely, as a result of the injection of gas into underground storage facilities. Unfortunately, to date, lagging the previous two years for gas injection into UGS was already more than 2.2 billion cubic meters of gas. It's a very very large value," he stressed.
Reversible gas plays in the Russian
Given named Miller of the value of Ukrainian politicians there is not the slightest reason for refusal from Russian because of allegedly unfair prices.
Previously Director of business development of "Naftogaz of Ukraine" Yuriy Vitrenko claimed that Gazprom will sell gas in the third quarter for 177 dollars per thousand cubic meters, while the German hub NCG, according to June 9, the price for July was below the 173 dollars. From this he drew the conclusion that Gazprom should bid even lower.
However, prices on the spot market are changing every day, and besides, the price on the spot – this is not the cost of reverse to Ukraine, so such comparisons are flawed. The price of reverse gas for Ukraine is the price in the hub plus transport costs, plus a margin for European traders that is plus 20-30 dollars to the cost of gas prices on European markets, says the newspaper VIEW Deputy Director of the national energy security Fund Alexei Grivach. Plus Naftogaz bears the fixed costs, regardless of who buys it reverse or not. For example, the Slovak gas pipeline operator Eustream is fixed he is paying 5 million euros for the booking of capacity to reverse," he adds.
According to him, the whole of June on the European markets, the price of gas was around $ 180-190 per thousand cubic meters. This means that the reverse gas for Ukraine in the third quarter will cost $ 200-220 per thousand cubic meters.
"The price under the contract with Russia, which Ukraine denounces as non-market is not just competitive, like all previous times, and, in fact, out of grace due to the fact that it is based on oil-binding and oil prices were low in the fourth quarter 2015 and first quarter 2016", – says Alexei Grivach.
When the cost of Russian fuel to buy reverse gas to Ukraine will be extremely profitable. So, for 3 billion cubic meters of Russian gas through 167,57 $ Naftogaz will have to pay 502,71 million dollars. The reverse of the same volume of gas from the EU at a price of $ 200 – 600 million, at a price of $ 220 per thousand cubic meters – to give $ 660 million.
Kiev found the money for Russian gas
Naftogaz intends to resume the active import of gas for injection into underground storage (UGS) in the first week of July, said earlier on Thursday the head of the state holding Andriy KOBOLEV. While he managed to solve the main problem – to find funds for the purchase of fuel, not only reverse, but also Russian.
According to KOBOLEV, in early July, it is planned to purchase and import gas for their own means, and since the 20th of July for the loan of the European Bank for reconstruction and development.
Naftogaz has long been purchasing reverse to European money lenders. But the main feature of these loans is that they are given only for the purchase of fuel from the EU to spend on Russian fuel Ukraine could not. So besides political reasons of failure of Kiev from Russian cheaper fuel there were also purely commercial.
But now the situation has changed dramatically: Naftogaz of Ukraine agreed with EBRD, which should issue a credit for the purchase of gas by Ukraine, on the possibility to spend part of them on the purchase of gas from Gazprom, whereas previously the EBRD provided money only for the purchase of gas from the Western route (reverse). "The last agreement, which we achieved with the EBRD, suggests that part of the funds can be used toward the purchase of the East in particular", – said the head of the Ukrainian state holding Andriy KOBOLEV, transfers "Interfax".
This is the second step of Kiev, who speaks of his willingness to buy Gazprom's gas. The first step was a letter of Naftogaz to Gazprom on June 7 asking to resume gas supplies from Russia to Ukraine in the period from the second half of 2016 until April 2017.
In addition to the loan from EBRD, Naftogaz expects to finally get a loan for $ 500 million from world Bank for the purchase of gas in September – October this year, Kobolyev said on Thursday. Previously, he complained of difficult negotiations with the WB on the loan. If the Bank issued the first tranche of 300 million dollars to pass last winter, Naftogaz and even managed to get him back, WB has not given the company money in the last heating season. Apparently, KOBOLEV hopes that this time will be different, and the world Bank will keep the promise. Can Kiev to get the WB the same right to buy is not only a reversal of the EU, but Russian gas is not yet clear.
However, it is clear that Naftogaz will have in any case to buy reverse gas from the EU, despite the fact that it is not profitable. The reason is financially dependent on European and international creditors that boost Naftogaz on a more expensive reverse gas from the European traders.
How much gas
In any case, three billion cubic meters, which has been requested by Naftogaz from Gazprom, the beginning of the heating season would not be enough. Now in UGS only 9.5 billion cubic meters, of which buffer (inactive) gas is about 7 billion cubic meters (it cannot be pumped out of the storage, says Grivach. That is real gas in storage total 2.5 billion cubic meters.
To pass the winter season without incident, it is necessary to pump 8-9 billion cubic meters, said the Naftogaz. Alexander Novak said the other day about 9-10 billion cubic meters. And this fix does not exclude the fact that in winter Ukraine will need to continue to import fuel.
"The more Ukraine will buy and pump gas now, the better she will be prepared for the heating season and the less they will have to import gas in the current mode in the winter, when prices will be higher. Because the price of oil recovers and the cost of gas under a direct contract will increase in the fourth and first quarter of 2016-2017, at the European sites there is still a price increase in connection with seasonal growth of consumption," – explains Grivach.
A sufficient volume of gas in Ukrainian underground storage facilities means not only social well-being of Ukrainian citizens in the winter. It is also the reputation of Ukraine itself in front of its European partners. If Ukraine fails to pump sufficient gas into underground storage facilities, interruptions in gas transit to Europe can not be avoided. It will put a big cross in Ukraine as allegedly a reliable and proper partner in Europe to ensure its gas, like trying to imagine Kiev. Reminds you of forgotten the gas crisis of 2008-2009. And even if the words the EU is to accuse Gazprom of the incident, like last time, the rhetoric in the EU against the "Nord stream – 2" is immediately diminished.
Finally, Kiev is another argument in favor of buying Russian gas. Due to the decision of the Stockholm arbitration to deny Lithuania its price claims to Gazprom. The main miscalculation of Vilnius was the fact that he tried to convince the court of some unfair the price of Russian gas – which ultimately failed. Ukraine is stepping on the same rake, and Lithuania. In other words, the experience of Lithuania of Ukraine showed that now there is no need to abandon the purchase of Russian gas for political reasons unfair prices, it's still the case in Stockholm you will not sew.Related posts:

Floyd Mayweather officially surrendered to the Las Vegas Clark County Detention Center yesterday. He'll now be adjusting to life behind bars in a 7-by-12 foot cell as opposed to his lavish 12,800-square-foot two-story mansion, for the next 87 days. He could be released a few weeks in advance for good behavior, so hopefully Floyd will stay out of trouble while he is incarcerated.
He is serving time for a 2010 domestic battery charge for allegedly beating his ex-wife in front of their two sons. Floyd was originally facing up to 34 years in prison on felony charges, but he wisely accepted a plea deal that allowed him to avoid felony charges. He has already been granted 3 days of time-served for paying off a $2,500 fine, and completing domestic violence courses prior to his imprisonment. He will have to complete a total of 100 hours of community service on domestic violence counseling, upon his release.
According to court officials, Mayweather will be submitted to the subpar lock-up conditions that prisons and jails are often associated with. He apparently will not have a TV in his jail cell, and the TV sets located in the dining areas most likely won't have the June 9th pay-per-view WBO welterweight fight between his nemesis Pacquiao and Tim Bradley. Mayweather's actual jail cell will consist of a small bed, a stainless steel toilet and sink, a steel and wood desk with a permanently bolted down stool and two small vertical windows mad with opaque safety glass.
For at least the first week of his jail stay, Floyd with be in an isolated cell, segregated from all of the other 3,200 prisoners for his own protection. He'll be allowed to go outside of his cell and have access to an exercise yard for approximately one hour a day to begin with. If he maintains good behavior, he'll be granted more time outside, and he will be allowed to workout with other inmates held in the protective custody unit.
His flashy dress wear has been reduced from fly suits, sunglasses, and Rolex watches, to the standard-issue blue jail jumpsuit containing the letters CCDC on the back, with orange slippers to walk around in. He will have access to commissary, and he can deposit money to his jail account to buy snacks, personal hygiene items, and general leisure items. This is where his $32 million payday from his most recent fight with Miguel Cotto will come in handy.
He arrived in court yesterday wearing a gray sweatsuit, with his best friend, rapper 50 Cent at his side. Floyd didn't say a word as he was cuffed up and taken away to serve his time. He looked focused a ready for whatever obstacles might come his way while in jail.
50 Cent gave a quick comment about his good friend going away for the next couple of months. 50 truly believes in Floyd all the way.
"It's an uncomfortable situation for everyone. He'll be all right."

I am a firm believer in the positive impact that the next generation (the so-called Millennials or Digital Natives) are having /will have on many aspects of business and society. Leaving aside for a moment whether you believe the time your son or daughter (or for that matter, employee) spends on Facebook is useful or educational, social networking, Web2.0, and yes, even gaming is valuable to business. Already, companies that leverage these technologies effectively have become more connected, responsive, relevant, and ultimately, successful.
However, we shouldn't get too enamored by the vision of all of these cute, bright, articulate 4 and 8 year olds in Microsoft's new "I'm a PC" commercial (cuter and possibly, even brighter than Gates and Seinfeld), and mistake "cut-e and paste" for content and execution. Content matters and it's still hard. This came home last week in the form of an English assignment for group of students including my daughter (my "digital native" lab rat). A 35+ page, period-piece magazine complete with features, artwork, letters, ads was an impressive assignment (on top of all other work assigned spanning works from "A Tale of Two Cities" to "Black Boy") even for an Honor's English class (no bragging intended). And for those of us who can still spell Britannica, the difference between what can be produced now by a 14 year old versus what we could do is like comparing an iPod to that crystal radio in Popular Science.
As I saw drafts of the document being developed, I noted design, layout, ads, graphics and pictures were first rate (in fact amazing). However, it rapidly became apparent that the challenge and most likely differentiation would be around the content (Tweets aren't consistent with 1,000 word minimums), sourcing and referencing (when was the last time you did that in your PowerPoint) and absolute necessity for consistency of tone/voice in each article. Can you spell "GRAMMAR and PUNCTUATION?" (WORD's spell check and thesaurus won't save you from the RED pen of a 50 something, published English honors teacher who also has software that can scan complex documents for plagiarism and originality against the entire WWW). You might think that with all the time kids spend on video games, IM, Facebook et al, that every one of them could type better than Smith and Corona together. Let me just say that those 25 tweets a day are not great training ground for writing an original three page article.
Luckily, some things haven't changed and if you're smart and choose the right team (remember that important collaboration thing), you can find the right resource with the skill you need, just when you need it. In this case it was my daughter who, out of all her friends who seem to live on IM, was the only one who could touch-type and thus was also elected to do all of the final edits and content. (Ok, now I'm bragging) I guess the point is, while we can't ignore the value that social networking and what ubiquitous technology will drive in productivity, like almost anything it is only one part of the equation. Undoubtedly as "DN's" enter the workforce, they will greatly influence business and the workplace in the same way they have already influenced retail and media. At the same time, we can't be presumptive that the benefits and skills they bring will be across the board. "I'm a PC" is a compelling message for a 4 year old today, but as a twenty something wanting to differentiate when competing for a job or promotion, that tweet is only the beginning.

April 6, 2008
Deceased, Six years old
New Philadelphia, Ohio, USA
his is my degu Valentine (Vali for short). We bought him from a pet store in 2002 on Valentines day. He died the day after this picture was taken, Jan 20, 2008. I miss him very much. He was the Best Degu I've had. He would climb out onto my hand and let his hind legs hang while I would rub him on his back. He would stay there for quite a while and then would climb up on my shoulder and stay. I was able to do the dishes and make our beds while he rode around on me. He never seemed to mind being held like my other degu did. He would turn his head and look like he was smiling when you scratched him alongside his cheeks. It was so cute, after a while of this he would turn and lightly nibble your finger as if he was grooming you and then turn his cheek back to rub again.
Vali had a cage friend named Cupid, whom we bought on Valentines Day 2003. He now has a new friend Dig Dig they get along okay, but not the way Vali did. Vali, Cupid, and Dig Dig's favorite foods are dried fruit which they only get once in a while, and grass that they get all summer long.
Vali loved to go outside and play in his cage in the sun. He would cuddle up with my guinea pig Jack and sleep or just look around and play with Cupid all day.
He will be greatly missed by the whole family and will always hold a special part of my heart that is just his.

In a move that could put an end to the growing number Twitter archive apps, Twitter is reportedly beginning to roll out its own app for downloading a history of all your tweets in a compressed file.
The first report of the new option that in the wild was reported by a Twitter user to The Next Web, which says the archive download supposedly can be found - for those who have it enabled – at the bottom of your Settings page.
Whethet the new feature will allow RIAs to satisfy regulatory requirements remains to be seen, but it sounds promising.

Comic Block Subscription Box Review + Coupon – April 2016
Comic Block is a subscription box from Nerd Block that focuses on sending out comics and comic related goodies.
They've recently changed the format of this box, increasing the cost and the kind of items they are sending.
This box was sent to us for review purposes. (Check out the review process post to learn more about how we review boxes).
The Box: Comic Block
The Cost: $19.99 plus shipping (Shipping is $6 to Canada, $6 to US, $10 Worldwide)
COUPON: Use coupon code MSA10 to save 10% off the first month of any Nerd Block subscription! (Apply coupon at the very end of checkout).
The Products: $60+ value, featuring an exclusive comic themed shirt, 4-6 comic collectibles
Ships to: Worldwide!
Check out all of our Comic Block reviews and all of our Comic Subscription Reviews!
Just a quick note. This is month 2 of the new format. In the past, the comics were the highlight of this block, now it's more of a balance between comics and comic-related collectibles.
Each month comes with a card detailing each item in your box.
Captain America Shirt – Value $10?
Now that ShirtPunch has the rights to Marvel apparel, the shirts have been awesome across the blocks. This one is no different. This is just a classic Captain America design and I'm thrilled with it!
Black Panther POP – Value $9.27 on Amazon
This month featured Civil War POPs. You could have received Iron Man, The Winter Soldier, Cap, or Black Panther – and I received the latter. Unfortunately, I own this POP already (I was pulling for Winter Soldier!), but it's just an awesome design.
I think Black Panther has one of the coolest suits in the cinematic universe.
Funko ReAction Reverse Flash – Value $9.33 on Amazon
They also include a Reverse Flash Funko ReAction figure. I'm not a major Flash or ReAction fan, so I was as pumped for this item.
Here's a closer look at the figure.
Black Panther #1 – Value $4.99
I just received this issue in my Collector Corps box. I still have it pulled aside to read, but now I can store away my variant cover and I can read this normal edition. Again, awesome suit.
Aliens Defiance #1 – Value $3.99
The final item of the box arrives perfectly timed for April – since Aliens Day was April 26th. This is an exclusive variant for the box as well. I never got into the Alien/Predator craze (although Predator was a personal favorite a while ago for me) – I wonder if the comics will get me started into the craze? Only one way to find out…
Verdict: I like the new format of Comic Block. I was skeptical about reducing the number of comics when I first learned of the change, but after two deliveries, I think it's a good idea to feature a box that guarantees comic-related items and comics, as opposed to primarily being about comics – since there are numerous subscriptions dedicated solely to comics. So, I'm excited for this box moving forward. This month had good value, too. Although I got some repeat items (such is the life of a POP and subscription box enthusiast), I can see how anyone would love this box.
What did you think of the April Comic Block?

Preparing for the Daytona 500
Preparations are underway for the start of the new race season. With less than five days until raceday , fans are already flocking to the speedway to get a up close look as drivers test and tune their cars for the big race on Sunday. There is lots of anticipation of how the newly paved track will hold up during the race. As you recall a hole in the tracks' asphalt caused a stop in the action for well over an hour last year.

Date: 12/06/2009 Category: Learning and Achievement
Young people in Medway are being given the opportunity to monitor the important services they receive. Medway Council has won a bid to deliver the national Youth 4U Young Inspectors scheme to monitor the work of children's services in Medway that are provided by the council, Medway NHS, Kent Police in Medway, schools, colleges and the voluntary and community sector. The young inspectors will be recruited from a range of backgrounds, including children in care, those who have disabilities, are homeless, travellers, young carers, youth offenders, young parents, those who have emotional issues, or are not in education or employment. They will be aged from 13 to 19 and up to 25 for those with disabilities and/or learning difficulties. They will inspect and evaluate specific services and get the views of other children and young people who use the services. They will report back to the Medway Children's Trust and the Department of Children, Schools and Families (DCSF) with their findings. The National Children's Bureau, with the British Young Council and disabled children's charity KIDS, has been awarded a grant from the DCSF to oversee the programme nationally. The aim of the scheme is to: Enable marginalised young people and their peers to influence local policies and services across a wide range of issues, including health, transport, neighbourhood renewal, information, advice and guidance, and community services. To ensure all young people can feed back their views to Children's Trust partners, commissioners and other providers. To achieve change through the views and opinions of young people as service users and residents being listened to and acted upon. Medway Council's Portfolio Holder for Children's Services Cllr Les Wicks said: "There is value in user feedback coming directly from young people. If their opinions are considered they will positively influence the provision and potentially increase uptake. "Inspections give young people more responsibility and more ownership of services in Medway. The process will support the achievement of high standards in service design and delivery." Medway Council's Director of Children and Adult Services Rose Collinson said: " We really value the views and contributions of Medway's children and young people - they are vital in informing and shaping what we do. . "I believe that everyone who works for and on behalf of children and young people – as professionals or volunteers – plays a critical role in supporting each child to reach their full potential, particularly those from more challenging backgrounds."

Indian minister backs science communication efforts
India's science and technology Minister, Kapil Sibal, suggested last week that joint efforts to promote the skills required to communicate effectively about science and technology could be a fruitful area for cooperation between the countries of South Asia.
He also emphasised that such activities were a vital part of efforts to ensure that the work of the research community was brought to the attention of decision-makers at all levels of society in the region, and thereby put into practice.
Sibal's comments were made at a workshop organised by the Science and Development Network (SciDev.Net) at the Indian Habitat Centre in Delhi under the title 'Science, Communication and Society in South Asia'.
The workshop, which was attended by almost 100 participants from across the region, was held to launch both the South Asian regional network of SciDev.Net, and a new gateway on the SciDev.Net website dedicated to news about science and technology in the region.
Although Sibal was prevented by last minute political commitments to attend the event, he had asked for his remarks to be presented by R. A. Mashelkar, the director-general of India's Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (and a trustee of SciDev.Net).
In his address, Sibal — whose full title is minister of state for science, technology and oceans — said science communication was an area in which the potential for regional collaboration was tremendous.
"We are addressing tasks that unite countries that may have differing domestic agendas, and find themselves at different points on the scale of economic development," he said.
This was true "whether we are discussing ways of enhancing the professional skills of science communicators or examining the common obstacles faced by those engaged in these professions or exploring possible solutions or discussing novel approaches to conveying information between scientists and decision makers".
Few could doubt that science held the key to future prosperity, said the science minister. But the doors that science unlocked had to be opened with care, and everyone involved needed to be as fully informed as possible about what the results were likely to be.
"This is why I firmly believe that all our citizens — as well as our politicians — must be adequately informed about both the promises that science brings and the choices that it presents."
Ensuring that science and technology contributes fully to social and economic development meant making a commitment to supporting all those engaged in carrying out scientific and technological development, whether in universities, in government research laboratories, or in the private sector.
But he added that it was equally important that scientific knowledge was communicated to managers and decision-makers who had a responsibility to find ways of applying such knowledge to social and economic needs.
"This is particularly true during a period in which an increasing number of political decisions have important scientific dimensions to them," Sibal said. "If the underlying science is not well understood — at least in outline — by those taking such decisions, as well as by those to whom they are accountable, then it is unlikely that sound decisions will be taken."
To achieve this, research needed to be embedded in a social system made up of individuals and social processes that enabled the results of research to inform decision-making at all levels of society.
Sibal pointed out that since achieving independence in 1947, the Indian government had been strongly aware of both the need to build up a powerful science base, and to ensure that science was not restricted to the university laboratories.
While creating a strong independent base in science and technology, "India has also been sensitive to the fact that benefits of scientific knowledge must reach everyone, not just an elite," said Sibal.
It was for this reason that the government had declared 2004 to a Year of Science Awareness, during which a number of activities had been carried out to promote the public understanding of science (see Taking science to India's villages).
In recent years, Sibal added, there had been a growing awareness of the importance of such issues to countries that were less developed than India.
"The impact and importance of science is not restricted to those countries that are already well on their way to becoming full participants in the global knowledge economy," the minister said. "Rather, they affect all countries in some form."
This was partly the result of a growing awareness that a basic capability in science is needed to make best use of modern technologies. It also resulted from the fact that reliable knowledge of the scientific basis of environmental problems, and communicating such knowledge to decision-makers, were both essential if such problems were to be successfully addressed.
"All countries, rich and poor alike, share a common interest in raising the general level of effectiveness of those engaged in the task of communicating science both to the public and to policy-makers," said Sibal. "That is why the work of the Science and Development Network since its creation in 2001 has been so important".
Wishing the regional activities of the organisation "every success", Sibal said that he particularly appreciated the fact that a key concern of SciDev.Net was to ensure a degree of ownership by those whose needs it seeks to address.
It was for that reason, he said, that he was particularly pleased that material on the new South Asia gateway "will be written primarily by journalists and researchers from the countries that it covers, and focus on issues of immediate concern to the region."

I´ve tried - and bought - the new Mitsouko ( it comes in a new golden/bronze coloured box with vertical lines) and must admit that it´s really great!
Even though I´m not sure if I´ve ever smelled the original formulation, the Mitsouko they selled before the new reformulation seems to me quite poor and pale, like being stripped off something - maybe the oakmoss. I do have both now and can compare them side by side.
As Luca Turin said, the newer Mitsouko is somewhat drier with a lovely Iris in the middle and a rich, long finish of treemoss (not oakmoss!). Lasting power is great, too!
BTW, I´m not sure if there ever was oakmoss in Mitsouko, or if it was always treemoss , because since oakmoss has to be declared on the boxes as an allergen and the use of oakmoss is restricted (not completely banned!), no box of Mitsouko ever declared to have oakmoss in it, always treemoss. Even newer releases like Terre d´Hermes and many others containing oakmoss (Evernia Prunastri), so there is no need to give it up completely.
However, the new Mitsouko thanks to Edouard Fléchier is a wonderful chypre and IMO leans more to the masculine side than the older one. Give it a try!
There is also a very nice review on Now Smell This of Mitsouko (pour Homme)!

Carl German, Extension Crops Marketing Specialist; firstname.lastname@example.com
March 15, 2012 marks the sales closing/policy change date for many Delaware crops: corn, soybeans, processing beans, processing sweet corn, processing tomatoes, and grain sorghum, as well as the Adjusted Gross Revenue programs for whole farm insurance. Now is a good time for farmers to review their risk management strategies. One should consider the question, "Is my 2011 plan good enough for 2012?" Producers may want to expand coverage levels or consider different unit options in order to customize protection to fit their operation's needs.
In 2010, the Risk Management Agency (RMA) introduced the Common Crop, or Combo, policy. This policy restructured the RMA's crop insurance roster and streamlined and combined outdated policies into a single unit. The Combo policy features three insurance plans from which a farmer can build an insurance strategy:
Yield Protection – which protects the actual yield of the crop
Revenue Protection-which protects the revenue the crop yield provides and also insures against price volatility by taking the greater of a projected price and a harvest price to determine revenue guarantee
Revenue Protection with Harvest Price Exclusion -in which a projected price is solely used in determining revenue guarantee
Farmers have a choice between the three depending on which is best suited for their respective operations. The insurance policies are fully customizable, not only through the use of different levels of coverage and a choice of price elections, but also in the way a farm can be divided into insurance units. Each parcel of land that is insured independently of other parcels is called a unit. One operation can include multiple units or could be one whole farm unit. The choice is up to the producer, so long as certain stipulations are met. The idea behind dividing a farm into multiple units is that some disasters affect certain fields or parts of fields, while missing others. For instance, a producer can receive an indemnity on a unit of corn devastated by hail, while a nearby unit's crop stands tall.
A Basic Unit includes all of a producer's insurable acreage in a county by crop by share agreement (premiums are reduced for a basic unit). Optional Units can be used to divide a basic unit into separate units if it consists of two or more FSA farm serial numbers and certain record keeping requirements are met. Enterprise Units are, generally, all the insured acreage of a crop in a county (premium discounts and additional subsidy apply).
With the prime growing season on the horizon, Delaware farmers are gearing up for their busiest time of the year. Crop Insurance provides the safety net operations need in order meet each growing season with positivity and profitability.

Further, if all electro-magnetic phenomena are due to the same aetherial medium which gives rise by its wave motions to light, heat and electricity, then we shall have discovered a medium which throughout the universe can by its wave motions transmit and propagate both repulsions and attractions, that is, the aetherial medium which is to be the physical cause of

So that not only is the sun the centre of an attractive Force, the Centripetal force, or the attractive Force of Gravity, which proceeds in straight lines through space, decreasing in intensity inversely as the square of the distance, but at the same time it is also the centre of a motion, that is, the aetherial wave motion of light, which takes exactly the same path as Gravitation Attraction, and which is subject to exactly the same laws.

ANF01. The Apostolic Fathers with Justin Martyr and Irenaeus
For if all phenomena of the universe, whether it be heat, light, electricity, be due to different modes of motion, then Gravitation should be explained from the physical standpoint by some kind of aetherial motion also.
It is simple, because it puts in the place of unknown chemical waves, a certain kind of aetherial waves with whose action we are definitely familiar, and whose origin and effect can be satisfactorily accounted for, as proved by Hertz.

Calling on alleged aetherial beings to save your life when common sense works much better is foolish.

(Masterpieces of American Literature)
William Styron was born in Newport News, Virginia, on June 11, 1925, the son of William Clark and Pauline Styron. Styron's roots in the South are deep and can be traced back to the seventeenth century. He grew up steeped in stories of the Civil War and of its battlefields. Raised in Hilton Village, a semirural community several miles from Newport News, he went to segregated schools and lived in a family with black servants. His father worked in shipbuilding in Newport News. His mother, who developed cancer soon after his birth, remained an invalid for eleven years, dying in 1939, after Styron's sophomore year at Morrison High School. Around that time, he published his first story (now lost) in the school newspaper.
Styron was an active student—he was president of his sophomore class and manager of the football team—but his teachers thought he lacked discipline, and he was sent to the Christchurch School, an Episcopal preparatory school near Urbana, Virginia. In this small school of fifty students, he enjoyed the atmosphere of an encouraging extended family. He wrote for the school newspaper and yearbook, sailed, and played basketball. Although he attended chapel every day and church on Sunday, he also took up drinking, one of the traditional activities of a Virginia gentleman.
In 1942, Styron entered Davidson College, a Presbyterian institution near Charlotte, North Carolina. His father thought that the University of Virginia, known for its rowdy drinking parties, would be inappropriate for his son, an indifferent student. Styron joined the college newspaper and literary magazine, and he rid himself of his Tidewater accent after fellow students made fun of it.
At eighteen, Styron joined the Navy, expecting to train as an officer, but he was transferred to Duke University. There, he attended classes but was still under military discipline. Duke was a traditional campus, strict about matters of dress, with coeds wearing white gloves on off-campus dates. Again Styron proved a mediocre student, and he was put on active duty by the end of 1944....

UCSI International School Now Open for Seat Reservation
20 December 2011
UCSI International School located at Bandar Springhill, Port Dickson in its final stage of construction
Located away from the hustle and bustle of the city, the School's 20-acre campus offers students a conducive learning environment
UCSI International School now open for seat reservation and the first intake will be in September 2012
Kuala Lumpur, 20 December 2011
- UCSI International School (UIS) is one of the milestones, as part of the Entry Point Project 14 (EPP-14).
At present, UIS is in its final stage of construction, and the first intake will be in September 2012.
EPP-14 is part of the government's larger Economic Transformation Programme to transform Malaysia into a high-income nation by 2020, and UIS is located within the programme's "Education" National Key Economic Area (NKEA).
Well-positioned in the education township of Bandar Springhill, Port Dickson, UIS will soon open its doors to propose a unique proposition: Full boarding for all its students. UIS aspires to be the first boarding school to offer a full array of International programmes in Malaysia as well as state-of-the-art accommodation and recreational facilities on the belief that boarding is an education in and of itself. Located away from the hustle and bustle of the city, the School's 20-acre campus offers students a conducive learning environment to focus on their studies without having to navigate a minefield of distractions. While boarding on campus, students live and study under a structured and disciplined environment to enable them to develop strong study habits and time management skills while also becoming more self-reliant, mature individuals.
Being in the right environment is essential and at UIS, with its community of an international cohort of boarders and educators comprising both locals and expatriates who are well-travelled and global in their outlook, students will learn to appreciate the 'homely environment' fostered on campus. In addition,
UIS aims to maximise on its international educators who are equally adept at adapting the different learning styles, interests, aptitudes and cultural sensitivities characterised by its students. The invaluable experience of learning and living together will ensure its students a different take on the whole process of socialisation and to cultivate in them a greater appreciation for independence and interdependence as they mature.
UCSI International School is on its way to being the only boarding school in Malaysia to offer the complete International Baccalaureate series. The Programme which caters to students from ages 6 to 17 is divided into three parts: the Primary Years Programme, the Middle Years Programme and the Diploma Programme. The two-year diploma programme which has gained the recognition and respect from the world's leading universities is academically-challenging and is designed to prepare students for university life.
UIS is now open for seat reservations and staff and parents are welcome to reserve a place for their children to enrol for the September 2012 intake.

Texas Republicans will go into the 2013 legislative session tackling government spending, tightening immigration laws and discouraging abortion. But this time they won't have a supermajority in the Texas House.
The Republicans won 95 out of 150 seats in the House and 19 out of 31 in the Senate. But unlike last year, they won't be able to suspend the rules.
The next two-year budget will present a big challenge, with Medicaid costs expected to increase more than $7 billion. Lawmakers will also need to find cash for increased enrollment in public schools, something they did not pay for last session, resulting in a $5.4 billion reduction in school funding, the first such cut since the Great Depression.
House Speaker Joe Straus must also fend off a leadership challenge.

Wooden bed s offer a unique, sturdy alternative to those made from metal. The traditional wooden bed frames come in multiple sizes and styles. It is important to buy a bed frame that fits the space requirements as well as one's personal style. Just about every shape and size of bed comes in a wooden version, from twin bunk beds to king-size captain beds. Most bed frames are available individually, without the inclusion of mattresses or box springs. Consumers add these components, as well as linens, pillows, and canopy sheathing, separately following the frame purchase. The bed size and style are the primary criteria for selecting the ideal wooden bed frame for a room.
Buying an Appropriate Size of Wooden Bed Frame
The first step to buying a wooden bed frame means choosing the appropriate size frame for one's space. Common size options include single, double, queen, and king. Most beds are 203 cm in length. The size difference typically refers to the width of the bed. Some beds are extra long, with 10 cm or more added to the length. Consumers should know that linens, pillows, and replacement mattresses are more expensive for larger beds. The frugal shopper often sticks with as small a frame as possible to avoid the additional fees.
Single Bed
Single beds, also known as twins, comfortably accommodate only one person, usually a child. The typical single bed is 92 cm in width and 188 cm in length. The extra-long twin bed comes in at 203 cm in length and 107 cm in width, bringing it up to par with the average.
Double Bed
Double or full-size beds accommodate two average-size adults in relative comfort. Most single adults and older children prefer a double bed, as it provides more room for rolling around in the night without imposing too much on space. Despite the name, these beds are not literally double the size of a single bed. They are only about 46 cm wider and about the same length as the extra-long single.
Queen Bed
Queen-sized beds offer just a bit more width than a full size bed. They are a good choice for couples, seeking a bit of additional comfort and space to move about. Queen beds , like the single and double, are 203 cm long. The difference is in the width, with the queen measuring 153 cm.
King Bed
The king size bed is the biggest mass-produced size of bed available. These beds are good for people who have trouble sleeping with someone right next to them. When space allows, parents also prefer this size, if they have small children who may be sneaking into the bed at night. The beds and accompanying linens are expensive. The king size bed offers a massive width of 183 cm and a length of 203 cm.
Selecting a Preferred Style for Wooden Bed Frame
There are different types of wooden bed, and the popular styles include sleigh, captain, canopy, and platform. The popular wooden bed frames accommodate standard-issue mattresses. Waterbed frames, which are exclusively wooden, require special design features, though the sizes and many of the styles are still roughly the same.
Sleigh Bed
Heavy, wooden sleigh beds feature an extra-tall headboard and footboard. Traditionally, these end boards curve out dramatically, making the bed resemble a very large snow sleigh. Sleigh beds frequently have ornate designs cut into the sloping curves of the ends, another favourite feature.
Captain Bed
The captain's bed functions like a platform bed while featuring extra storage for small spaces. What sets the captain's bed apart is the addition of drawers conveniently located right beneath the mattress. These beds sit high off the ground, providing space underneath for dresser drawers. Available in single size, these beds make a great space-saving option for small rooms.
Canopy Bed
Canopy beds feature four posts that culminate at the top, with a frame connecting each individual piece. This frame holds ornate curtains or mosquito netting, which swoops down covering the bed on all sides. These dramatically stylised beds have long been a favourite and are available in different sizes.
Platform Bed
Minimalist-style platform beds feature simple wooden rectangles, squat low to the ground. They do not have a headboard or a footboard, offering an advantage for the extra-tall sleeper. Often, the platform functions as both a frame and box springs, requiring only a mattress.
Four-Post Bed
The four-post bed looks a lot like the canopy bed. It features four posts, one on each corner of the bed, reaching into the sky. Unlike the canopy, there is no connecting frame at the top to hang curtains. These beds often feature special designs and expert craftsmanship. The posts are often all the same size, though some models may feature slightly taller head posts.
How to Buy a Wooden Bed Frame on eBay
To buy a wooden bed frame on eBay, simply enter a search term, such as " wooden bed frame" in the site's search bar, available on any eBay web page. From there, it is possible to narrow selections to fit your preferred criteria, which can include size, style, and even the type of wood. Checking in the eBay Deals page ensures you do miss out on any special promotions.
Frames typically arrive in pieces, with no mattress or box springs. One must therefore carefully put the pieces together for a perfect, sturdy sleeping area. Timeless and durable, the ideal wooden bed frame looks great in a room. Choosing the right size ensures a great fit, and selecting one's preferred style guarantees a fabulous look.

How much iron do I need?
It depends. How much iron you need depends on you! Factors to consider include: your current iron levels (determined by blood tests), the form of iron you take (if you are taking an iron supplement) and your eating habits while taking iron.
Standing at the supplement shelf in the drug store, you may find that selecting an iron supplement is both confusing and frustrating. We get it.
Because there are several forms of iron – which most people don't even know – with different dosages, comparing iron supplements is not like comparing apples to apples.
Each form of iron is absorbed differently by your body. Ferrous sulfate, the most common form of iron, is commonly recommended by doctors at a dose of 325 mg, which is equal to 65 mg of elemental iron, but for some people its absorption is accompanied by upset stomach.
On the other hand, Feosol® Natural Release with carbonyl iron is absorbed by your body at a rate that is naturally regulated in your intestinal tract, so it may be gentler.
All three Feosol iron supplements are designed so that all the iron you need is in one small pill, taken once a day.
Feosol Natural Release is a great iron alternative for those concerned about upset stomach.
Feosol Complete is a great choice for those with a sensitive system as it minimizes side effects such as constipation and nausea. The special, patented formula in Feosol Complete maximizes iron absorption while minimizing GI side effects.
When is the best time to take iron?
In most cases, the best time to take iron supplements is about one hour before or two hours after meals. Iron supplements are best taken with water on an empty stomach.
There is a long list of foods, such as coffee, tea or milk, which interfere with the absorption of ferrous iron. Consider this fact next time you are about to pop an iron pill right before breakfast: taking your iron supplement with food may decrease how much iron is absorbed by the body by up to 50 percent!
On the flip side, citrus items, such as lemonade, can increase your iron absorption. Many people like to take their iron supplement with an "iron booster" like orange juice.
The no-food guideline is true for non-heme forms of iron, including ferrous sulfate, ferrous fumarate and ferrous gluconate; the exception to the rule is a heme iron supplement, such as Feosol Complete with Bifera, which combines heme and non-heme in one pill! Feosol Complete is versatile and can be taken with or without food.
Since oral iron products may interfere with absorption of certain antibiotics, these products should not be taken within two hours of each other.
- Medline Plus. National Institutes of Health. Iron. Retrieved from: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/natural/912.html#FoodInteractions March 7, 2012.
Should I take an iron supplement with food?
Ideally, most iron supplements should not be taken with food. The reason you should take iron on an empty stomach without food is that an acidic stomach helps with iron absorption.
Unfortunately, many people find that iron upsets their stomachs, so they take iron with meals to try and offset side effects such as nausea. Your doctor might also recommend that you take your iron supplement with a glass of orange juice because vitamin C improves the absorption of iron.
Factors that Affect Iron Absorption
Items that can decrease the body's absorption of non-heme iron include:
- dietary or supplemental calcium
- caffeine
- some of the proteins found in soybeans
- dietary fiber
- phytates, found in legumes and whole grains
- plant-based compounds called polyphenols, including tannins (found in tea, wine, fruits, vegetables, nuts)
Items that can increase the body's absorption of non-heme iron include:
- heme iron (found in meat, poultry and fish)
- vitamin C (orange juice, citrus fruits).
As you can see from the list above, there are many food items that can decrease the absorption of non-heme iron, from fruit and nuts to dairy and whole grains! That makes it very difficult to take your iron supplement with a big glass of milk and a hearty bowl of cereal.
One exception to the rule is Feosol Complete with Bifera. Because of its unique dual-iron formula that includes both heme and non-heme iron, you do not have to avoid food when you take it. You can take it any time of day – breakfast, lunch or dinner – with or without food.
Should I take an iron supplement with water?
It's hard to swallow any supplement without water! Iron supplements are best absorbed when taken with an 8-ounce glass of water on an empty stomach.
Orange juice can be substituted for water (or a squeeze of lemon in your water) for enhanced iron absorption. However, certain beverages should be avoided because they can inhibit iron absorption, including:
- tea
- coffee
- milk or other calcium-rich drinks
- beverages high in caffeine
Why should I drink orange juice with an iron supplement?
Vitamin C and citric acid are often touted by nutrition experts as "iron boosters." That's why orange juice, vitamin C and lemonade are suggested with iron supplements.
In fact, one of the simplest ways to improve the body's absorption of non-heme iron is the addition of Vitamin C: simply adding a squeeze of lemon to your water or taking a vitamin C supplement can help you get the most out of your iron-rich foods or iron supplements.
By the same token, it's also important to be mindful of the foods and supplements you consume that could be iron inhibitors, such as coffee, tea, antacid tablets and dairy products.
Unlike other iron supplements, Feosol Complete contains both heme and non-heme iron, so it may be taken with or without food and does not require Vitamin C for absorption.
Where is the iron absorbed?
Like most mineral nutrients, the majority of the iron absorbed from digested food sources or supplements is absorbed in the small intestine, specifically the duodenum. Iron enters the stomach where it is exposed to stomach acid and changed into a form that allows it to be easily absorbed. From there it enters the mucosal sites of the duodenum (the first section of the small intestine) where most of the iron absorption takes place.
How can I maximize iron absorption?
Knowing how iron absorption takes place can be helpful in determining how to best maximize your iron intake by being mindful of the nutrients you combine.
If you are a vegetarian or avoid red meat, for example, you'll need to maximize the amount of non-heme (plant based) iron your body will absorb.
One simple way to improve the body's absorption of non-heme iron is the addition of Vitamin C, which can be a powerful iron absorption booster. Simply adding a squeeze of lemon to your water or taking a Vitamin C supplement can help you get the most out of your iron-rich foods or iron supplements. By the same token, it's also important to be mindful of the foods and supplements you consume that could be iron inhibitors.
What inhibits iron absorption?
From your morning pick-me-up to your over-easy egg, there are a number of foods and minerals that inhibit iron absorption. Some common iron inhibiters include:
- Grains & legumes (the Phytic acid, found in both, inhibits iron absorption)
- Fiber
- Egg protein (from both the white and the yolk)
- Minerals (such as calcium, zinc, magnesium, and copper) that compete with iron for absorption
- Tea (the Tannic acid, found in tea, inhibits iron absorption)
- Coffee
- Some herbs (including peppermint and chamomile)
- Cocoa/chocolate
- Gwen Dewar, Ph.D. Parenting Science. Boosting iron absorption: A guide for the science-minded. Retrieved from: http: http://www.parentingscience.com/iron-absorption.html March 7, 2012.
- National Institutes of Health. Dietary Supplement Fact Sheet: Iron. Retrieved from: http://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/iron/#h8 March 7, 2012.
How long does it take for iron to dissolve in the stomach?
Most iron supplements dissolve in the stomach in approximately 20-30 minutes.
Some supplements claim to have a slow release mechanism. These vitamins and pills usually rely on a chemical coating to slow down the absorption. For example, a probiotic supplement may use an enteric coating to help it survive the acidic environment of your stomach.
However, Feosol® Natural Release requires no additives or coating for a gradual and gentle absorption of iron. That's because the type of iron itself is naturally regulated by your body which must produce gastric acid to help with absorption.
Can I take more than the recommended dose of iron?
Do not take more than the recommended dose of iron. It is important that you take an iron supplement according to the directions on the packaging, unless otherwise directed by your doctor or healthcare provider.

Aaron Kuperman ,

but not the secular Yiddish of the Forverts, but the frum Yiddish of Williamsburg and Boro Park - with a vibrant press, strong economy (no ban on Hareidim working in New York, no conscription, strong laws againstg discriminating against religious minorities). There are probably more children speaking Yiddish as a first language in the USA than ever before. If the Forward wants to give up its historical secularism and become truely frum, they might be able to compete in that marketplace.

5. Et tu, Ynet?
Yiddish is not a dialect. It is a separate Germanic language. As much as Luxembourgish is. Standard German, Luxembourgish, Yiddish are all descended from various High German dialects. Nonetheless, they qualify to be regarded as languages, not dialects. Ynet should correct Reuters articles, when necessary, not just reprint errors.

this makes sense - target radical left anti-Israel articles towards a readership which is radically anti-Israel. The big difference between them is that Satmar always views this as "internal" ideology and does not use it as a means to bludgeon Israel in front of the goyim. Some of the secular far left on the other hand sets out to wash all of Israel's dirty laundry in public - and to create some new shmattehs of their own.
