Errors prompt investigation at Seattle Children's Hospital
SEATTLE -- A breakdown in training left instruments dirty and opened the doors to dangerous infections for more than 100 patients at Seattle Children's Hospital.
Doctors say so far nobody has gotten sick, but the errors launched a State Health Department investigation.
The problem involves colonoscopies, which are used to check for ulcers, tumors and inflammation up to the lower intestine. However, the colonoscopies performed at Seattle Children's hospital may have put young patients at-risk.
In November, a technician discovered a poorly cleaned colonoscope. Another turned up a few days later.
"At that point in time we stopped all colonoscopies and performed an investigation and identified that we had a lapse in our cleaning processes," said Dr. Danielle Zerr, the medical director of infectious disease at Children's.
Dr. Zerr says a patient's "organic material" was still trapped in one of the scope's channels. Hospital staff then identified 106 children who may have been affected, and offered free blood tests to check for infections. They tested for hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV, though doctors insist the risk of infection is low.
The scope's manufacturer spells out multi-step cleaning instructions to avoid cross-contaminating patients. Zerr says hospital procedures came up short on those requirements.
"We feel that we didn't have good systems in place to ensure training of new technicians who were coming into our system," she said.
The hospital says it's made changes. Children's had the manufacturer re-inspect the equipment and re-evaluate hospital procedures. They also retrained 20 staffers who handle the scope, put the cleaning protocol to an audit, and reached out to public health officials for assistance.
The State Health Department is now independently investigating the matter.
"Our investigation is really related to their policies and procedures and practices," said Martin Mueller, the assistant secretary of health systems quality assurance with the Department of Health.
While no patients tested have come back infected, the incident raises the question of what else Children's Hospital needs to re-evaluate.
"This is an isolated occurrence that happened, but of course that makes you think about where else you might have vulnerabilities," Zerr said.
The last time the hospital faced an issue like this was in 2010, when an infant died because of a medication error.

Human beings
We are so different, yet we are so much alike!
Isn't this typical of a great creator.
We are so different, yet we are so much alike!
Isn't this typical of a great creator.
Posted by Mohamed at 2:07 PM
I found it hard to grasp this quote or saying, especially the 'typical great creator' thing. Are you saying we are different in the same wayor alike in a different way? And why is that a typical of a great creator.
I guess what I meant is this. People, from different cultures, different geographies all across the globe have many similarities, similar needs, desires, similar human characteristics that are just balanced very differently. Get to know a person from the other extreme of your culture, become really close, and you'll find that they have similar feelings as you (just with different levels and thresholds). Yet, we are so different (get two brothers or sisters and you can easily point out many differences), and that one is obvious I suppose.
Where is the greatness of creation here? If we were all just a replica, that would be more like a production line/machine creation. A great creator (be that anyone) will always have commonalities among his creations, and will never have them exactly the same, even with 5 billion human beings created.
There's no reference to this quote by the way, it was just something I was thinking of and said that way.
That's very cool insight! That's all I had to say. Very cool.

I just attended the Cesarean Scar Care Webinar with Isa Herrera via the International Cesarean Awareness Network (ICAN). What a terrific benefit for subscribers (it was free), a great introduction to ICAN for folks who aren't subs, and a great cost ($15) for non subscribers.
Herrera is the author of Ending Female Pain and performs physical therapy in New York City. I was excited to attend this webinar because 5 months post cesarean, I still have a LOT of pain and tenderness, especially on the left side. I imagine this has a lot to do with E's position in utero. Herrera said that an uncomfortable lie can cause more adhesions, so obviously I have a lot of work to do to break up those adhesions and get to healing!
Herrera states:
"Women coming to me are often not getting the tools and advice they need . . ." to recover from cesareans.
Sad but not surprising.
Something I previously misunderstood: according to Herrera the abdominal muscles (the recti) are not cut during surgery. Instead, they are pushed to the side.
Something else I didn't know: during a cesarean 8 layers of fascia and connective tissue are cut. From what I previously learned, it's the damage to the fascia and connective tissues that compromise the uterus the most.
Something of which I am skeptical: Herrera hypothesizes that regularizing and rehabilitating the scar tissue and adhesions may reduce the risk of uterine rupture in future pregnancies and labors. The reason that I am skeptical is that from what I know about scar formation and healing, scar tissue NEVER approximates undamaged tissue. Scar tissue organizes differently from undamaged tissue. On the other hand, it is possible that with Body Talk or acupuncture or other healing modalities that damaged tissue can be restored. And it's not like my arm splits open every time I use it, and I have a large gnarly scar on it!
Herrera talked us through a number of exercises and stretches that should help break up adhesions and encourage healing. The ones that I plan to start using immediately are "long strokes," "longitudinal stretches," and kegels while drawing in my abs. I've also started using my Wii Fit and have found that the exercises there have woken up my core a bit. I am also massaging lavender oil, purchased from Young Living because of the medicinal-grade quality, into the "damaged" areas.
For more information on cesarean scar care, purchase Herrera's book. Also, check out the websites http://www.apta.org and http://www.pelvicrehab.com.

Join the military for a year (another possibility is the Peace Corps.)
It will be the worst, most uncomfortable, hellish experience of your life. After you are done, nothing will seem like a challenge ever again because nothing you will face in your long life after that time will ever seem particularly challenging. You will not be miserable ever again because you have established a baseline of the worst possible misery you could ever face. In fact, it is so miserable that an above average number of people actually commit suicide. To know how good you actually have it, you have to experience how bad life can be.
In addition, do you have any clue what so ever what a man uniform does to girls..? ;)
Iam not sure I can say anything to make you feel better, but I can at least reassure you that you are not alone in these feelings.
Just so you know I'm about to get all ridiculous and emotional here.... I will try to keep it short so bare with me for a minute...
I think the worst part about having a past that haunts you is you can never forget it. It's there scratching at your mind at all times and no matter how much you ignore it or think you've forgotten it something always happens to remind you that it is still there. A smell, a touch, even something as simple as a scene acted out on TV. Which is why I must make clear that running away is never an option, you can try to convince yourself of it as much as you want but it will always ends in faliure.
From the age of 7 - 16 I was preached to and at one point even convinced that if I just gave my past, my pain, all of it over to God than I could be free of it all. Just like that in one flawless swoop I could be, at the time I called it normal. But that was the biggest lie anyone ever told me and I told myself. God is nothing more than another tool used for running away from your problems. Of course you can do a great job of convincing yourself that "God" took it all away for you but then you spend the rest of your life living in a delusional state. I soon realized that in reality I wasn't dealing with anything at all. I was just running away from it and no amount of belief in God would make me better. I had to do that myself.
My best advice to you is not to run from it at all. Just face it, it's something that has and will continue to shape who you are. I understand it can be painful, trust me I really do but that is what friends are for. I know I am being a hypocrite in the next thing I'm about to say because I have spent three months trying to force myself to write about my past here with extreme difficulty. I am not even sure if I ever will but it is good if you can get it off your chest and talk about it. The more you do it the better you will feel and the easier it will become to deal with.
Sorry this turned out to be kinda long in the end!

Will Apple and Intel Merge?
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Corporate News, PC / Laptop,
Now do note that this is all purely speculation - but there is a lot to be taken from it. Why did Apple choose Intel when AMD seems like such a better fit for the company? Why did they announce the partnership two full years before it is expected to be complete, if Rosetta would make it pretty much seamless anyway? Will Steve Jobs really be giving keynotes over the next two years hawking new Apple PC's that will be considered by the average user to be obsolete in a couple of years since they don't have an Intel chip in them? These are all questions that deserve a deeper look. Could is be that Apple and Intel are joining forces as a way to defeat the almighty Microsoft?

Microsoft's Outrageous Demands For Halo Movie
Posted by Jesse Easley Categories: Corporate News, First Person Shooters, Xbox,
We reported the other day that the Halo script was finalized and being handed off to movie studios for consideration. Well, it seems that Microsoft and Bungie had some pretty crazy demands which are making studios give them nothing but an activated plasma grenade. Five studios have dropped off the line-up of possibilities so far and only 2 big guys remain, Fox and Universal. They are still in the game pending talks with Bungie and Microsoft about their far fetched money expectations.
Even studio executives, known for their lavish spending, winced at Microsoft's demands, including a $10 million upfront fee for rights, approval over the cast and director, and 60 first-class plane tickets for Microsoft representatives and their guests to the movie's premiere.

Seagate to Provide Xbox 360 Hard Drive
Posted by Jesse Easley Categories: Corporate News, Xbox 360,
Yesterday, Seagate announced a new line of 2.5" hard drives for the consumer. The more interesting news is that they announced that these hard drives will be the storage spot for the Xbox 360. Most of the story can be summed up in this one point:
"The hard drive extends the gaming experience on Xbox 360," said Todd Holmdahl, corporate vice president, Xbox hardware . "From downloading trailers, new game levels, maps, weapons, vehicles, and more to supporting custom playlists in every game and storing video messages from friends, Seagate's LD25 Series 2.5-inch hard drive brings gaming and digital media together for the ultimate entertainment experience."

PS3 Hard Drive Add-On To Run Linux
Posted by Jesse Easley Categories: PlayStation 3,
One of the PS3's strong points is that Sony wants it to be known as an "entertainment supercomputer", hence the announcement from Ken Kutaragi stating that the PS3's hard drive will be running Linux. With Kutaragi's comments in an interview he seemed to convey that the system will not come with the hard drive, but it will be available as an add-on. They have added a hard-drive bay for the item so most likely it will end up like the PS2, where it is a separate add-on device. This does make sense though - why would the drive run on a Windows OS? Then it would just be an Xbox. To read the whole interview and Gamespot's take on the whole thing read more.

Busboy Steals Jimmy Buffet's Phone and Contacts
Posted by Jesse Easley Categories: Cell Phones,
A busboy in Delray Beach took Jimmy Buffett's cell phone after he left it on a table in a restaurant. After a week it was finally returned after the cops showed up at Jason Martin's House (the busboy.) Among the contacts on the phone were Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, Al Gore, Bill Gates, George Clooney, and various other famous people. The thing, although the phone was recovered, Martin had removed and kept the SIM card. The SIM is what holds all of the phones information.
"We were sitting around smoking weed and strolling down the list on Jimmy's phone, going 'Wow!' " Martin told Page Two. He said he didn't call anyone on the list. But according to the police report, Martin said some of his friends may have crank-called former President Clinton.

Effective Web Search with Google's "My Search History" Tool
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Features, Internet,
You were looking for certain information on the web. After several attempts using different words and phrases with your favorite search engine, you finally have found the required information but, as it happens, forgot to bookmark the pages. In a few days when you needed to check out the same pages again, to your utter dismay, you realized that you couldn't recall how you searched out those pages. Sounds familiar? If you are like me, you probably face this problem quite frequently! Finding the right page link you are seeking from the browser's history feature, out of hundreds of pages that you have visited recently, is not easy either! More over, browser's history page remembers where you have been as you browse the web for a limited time only. Things may be a little easier if you use Google Desktop search or similar tools from other search engines, but again if you don't always use the same computer, even this might not be of much help.

The U.S. monthly international trade deficit increased in July 2012, according to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis and the U.S. Census Bureau. The deficit increased from $41.9 billion (revised) in June to $42.0 billion in July, as exports decreased more than imports. The previously published June deficit was $42.9 billion. The goods deficit decreased $0.2 billion from June to $57.3 billion in July, and the services surplus decreased $0.3 billion to $15.3 billion.
Exports of goods and services decreased $1.9 billion in July to $183.3 billion, reflecting a decrease in exports of goods. Exports of services were virtually unchanged.
• The decrease in exports of goods was more than accounted for by decreases in industrial supplies and materials; automotive vehicles, parts, and engines; and other goods. An increase in foods, feeds, and beverages was partly offsetting.
• Exports of services were virtually unchanged. Increases in royalties and license fees, travel, and other private services, which includes items such as business, professional, and technical services, insurance services, and financial services, were mostly offset by decreases in several categories. The largest decrease was in other transportation, which includes freight and port services.
Imports of goods and services decreased $1.8 billion in July to $225.3 billion, reflecting a decrease in imports of goods. Imports of services increased.
• The decrease in imports of goods was more than accounted for by decreases in industrial supplies and materials and capital goods. Increases in automotive vehicles, parts, and engines and consumer goods were partly offsetting.
• The increase in imports of services was mostly accounted for by an increase in royalties and license fees, which included payments for the rights to broadcast the 2012 Summer Olympic Games. Decreases in passenger fares and travel were partly offsetting.
Goods by geographic area (not seasonally adjusted)
• The goods deficit with Canada increased from $1.5 billion in June to $2.1 billion in July. Exports decreased $3.1 billion to $22.7 billion, while imports decreased $2.5 billion to $24.9 billion.
• The goods deficit with China increased from $27.4 billion in June to $29.4 billion in July. Exports were virtually unchanged at $8.6 billion, while imports increased $2.0 billion to $37.9 billion.
• The goods deficit with the European Union increased from $8.4 billion in June to $12.0 billion in July. Exports decreased $2.7 billion to $20.6 billion, while imports increased $0.8 billion to $32.5 billion.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - The MIT women's fencing team capped off Northeast Fencing Conference (NFC) competition this past weekend at Boston College. The Engineers defeated Dartmouth College (25-2), Smith College (23-4), and Vassar College (15-12), but were narrowly edged out by Sacred Heart University and Boston College both by a 14-13 margin. Tech's conference record improved to 8-3 as its overall ledger moved to 10-8.

In his 30-year history at Hospital for Special Surgery, both as an attending orthopedic surgeon and as part of his role as Surgeon-in-Chief, Dr. Russell Warren has seen a wildly varied spectrum of musculoskeletal ailments affecting every kind of patient. The profound experience provided by this kind of tenure is impressive on its own, but for the past 25 years, Dr. Warren has added another position to his resumé: Team Physician of the New York Giants professional football organization.
We discussed his role at length in a recent interview, in which Dr. Warren described the elements of a great professional sports health team, the importance of educational experience, the benefits of honest communication, the best course of care in dealing with the toughest injuries, and advice for aspiring athletes.
With a team as large as the Giants – girth aside, in terms of sheer manpower – there is no way for one physician to handle every kind of injury. Although he has become familiar with a broad scope of football injuries, Dr. Warren is an orthopedic surgeon, and his specialty is in treating musculoskeletal injuries and conditions of the shoulder and knee, including tears of the rotator cuff, meniscus, and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). With help from associate team physicians Bryan T. Kelly, MD, and Scott A. Rodeo, MD, both orthopedic surgeons at HSS, Dr. Warren designates the proper specialist for any injury outside his main areas of expertise.
When a player injures his foot or ankle, Dr. Warren may consult the Foot and Ankle Service at HSS. Any injury to the neck or spine will require an evaluation by the HSS Spine Service, and specialists from the HSS Hand and Upper Extremity Service will diagnose and treat those related injuries and conditions. Likewise, in case of heart, kidney, or other issues not related to musculoskeletal health, Dr. Warren and his colleagues consult the related specialists at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, located just across the street from HSS.
"We're working in a sphere in which orthopedics is the largest component of it," explains Dr. Warren, "but there are lots of other parts. As head team physician, you have to set up a large consulting staff." There are essential values in setting a system that enables them to evaluate players quickly and efficiently, he reasons. "There's a game on Sunday. Will they be able to play? We don't have a month to figure out a problem -- we have a few days."
In tandem with Ronnie Barnes, the Giants head trainer, Dr. Warren works with a team of trainers, strength coaches, and nutritionists throughout the year, both in-season and off-season, to keep the players actively involved in a customized strength and conditioning program. In addition, players requiring rehabilitation after an injury will be assigned to a physical therapist and given a customized regimen of exercise to return them to peak game condition.
"In working with a team as a team physician," he says, "the key is to have expert trainers who play a huge role in diagnosing and treating with our guidance. We are fortunate on the Giants to have Ronnie Barnes as our head trainer with [Assistant Athletic Trainer/Coordinator of Rehabilitation] Byron Hansen and [Assistant Athletic Trainer] Steve Kennelly."
Early in the spring season, Drs. Warren, Rodeo, or Kelly arrive at the "combine" with two of his Sports Medicine fellows from HSS to assess players for their injury risk in the NFL. The combine, much like the farming machine with which it shares a name, weeds out the unfit players as they undergo a rigorous series of tests in order to determine both their athletic prowess and their potential for injury at a high level of play.
Shortly thereafter, the onset of the draft will require more players to be evaluated by the medical team. All players, from the rookies to the veterans, submit to physical checkups by Dr. Warren's team. Injuries will then be assessed and treated, and conditioning programs will be fine-tuned to maximize each player's potential while decreasing their risk of injury.
While offseason camp commences in June, final training camp begins in July, consisting of the top 85 players in the Giants organization. This intensive training period lasts for five weeks, during which time the two HSS fellows, along with a rotating schedule of the three HSS team physicians, observe the players as they get in shape for the upcoming season. After two weeks of two daily practice sessions, the team will play four preseason games.
"At this point, we'll see a variety of injuries every day," says Dr. Warren. "After three days, we usually have a list of 15-20 players with injuries -- usually pulled muscles at first, then more significant injuries, such as ruptured tendons and foot or ankle injuries." Immediate attention is given to these players to have them evaluated and back on the field in good health as soon as possible.
"Players who are recovering from surgery in the spring may have an amended schedule," he explains. "They'll play one day, then take a session off. Usually, we take them off the double sessions until they're in better condition and have restored confidence in their health."
Ronnie Barnes has also set up a neuropsychiatric testing program for pre-season evaluation with which to compare results after a mild, traumatic brain injury. As a result of these preliminary evaluations, when confronted with a concussion victim during the regular season, the neurologists will be able to compare the player's preseason test results to the new results, thereby gaining perspective on the patient's recall ability and reaction time. If the new results are subpar, the player must then return to his prior level of neuropsychiatric response before returning to play.
After training camp and preseason play, the season begins. Dr. Warren attends almost every game, with one of the associate team physicians filling in when necessary. In addition, Warren acts as a consultant for other team physicians around the league.
"We see a lot of injuries over the course of the season, and some of them will require surgery," says Dr. Warren. "Neck problems, back, shoulder, and knee problems are all prevalent, but the largest lost time injury is a foot and ankle injury."
In terms of injuries unrelated to orthopedics, Warren mentions seeing kidney injuries, lung contusions, hepatitis, and even a stroke victim.
Dr. Warren explains that in the course of diagnosing and treating so many of these injuries in such an intense, accelerated environment, team physicians throughout the NFL have been able to create and share a base of knowledge about common injuries, which has helped each doctor make educated decisions based on prior outcomes.
"Our first priority is protecting the player," he says. "We have to make decisions about 'play/no play,' and we make judgment calls all the time. But those decisions are usually guided by our knowledge base."
Education is at the heart of Dr. Warren's duties for the Giants. While his day-to-day role with the team is one of maintaining the players' health, both in the present and future, Warren has extended the lessons learned from this rarified atmosphere to new HSS fellows as well as his colleagues at HSS, NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, and elsewhere in the NFL.
"Basically, we've made the Giants into an educational situation," says Dr. Warren. "We're not only concerned with patient care, but with bringing our knowledge of new conditions and treatments to others involved in both professional and amateur sports medicine. It's a large part of why I became interested in doing this."
"My experience over the years," he continues, "is that we'll see two or three things that nothing's been written about, so we'll conduct a study on this particular issue as it pertains to pro football players, and come out with a couple papers per year about what goes on in an NFL team. It's educational for us, and it's educational for the orthopedic community at large."
In Dr. Warren's opinion, the NFL has the best databank for injuries in professional sports. "We have the luxury of going through the databank and collecting all of the information about a pertinent injury in the NFL in the last 20 years." He says, adding that he, and other team physicians, enjoy a comfort level by knowing what the past experience has been. "We can use that databank and write good, interesting papers on it, which helps everybody. It's been a very helpful education for us."
Dr. Warren has trained a large number of fellows from the HSS Sports Medicine during his tenure as team physician, and a number of them have gone on to become team physicians in their own right for other NFL teams. "We've had good experience with that," he says.
In the beginning of his years with the Giants, Warren had to persuade the late Giants general manager George Young to allow him to bring in the fellows to study his work with the players. It was a success, and the program quickly took off. HSS surgeon and researcher Jo A. Hannafin, MD, PhD, became the first female physician in the NFL, and another trainee, Leigh Ann Curl, MD, is currently the only female chief orthopedic surgeon in the league, for the Baltimore Ravens.
One of the more unique aspects of working with pro athletes is simply the level at which their bodies have to perform. "When you put them back in the game after an injury, they go to that higher level of play, and you find out very quickly if your treatment worked or not," Dr. Warren explains. "For example, you'll see whether or not their surgery was successful. They're going to put the surgical site under high loads."
However, he stresses, the main advantage of working with athletes in top form is that their bodies can also recuperate from injury at a much accelerated rate. "Sometimes I'll see a player rupture his Achilles tendon and return to full activity at three months after open surgery. You just wouldn't see that in most recreational athletes," he notes. "Pro athletes are different. It's a combination of motivation, physical condition, the highest level of surgical care, and a large team of health professionals that works with them. It certainly gives them an advantage."
"What's nice these days is that our imaging has improved also," he adds. "We have very good MRIs so we can see things clearly, whereas 15 years ago, you couldn't see them as well. You could use x-rays, CT, bone scans, but there was a lot of guesswork compared to now. [HSS Radiologist] Hollis G. Potter, MD, has been extremely helpful in generating protocol to expand our evaluation of athletic injuries."
Along with the satisfaction that comes with the reliability of modern technology and a vast support system, Dr. Warren finds that he enjoys the sheer satisfaction of returning players to the field in good health:
All of us in sports medicine get a real charge out of seeing somebody going back to play. A player, for example, may have had a bad knee, then he comes back to score on a 93-yard punt return. Sure, you get a kick out of that. Just like the player did, the trainer does, everybody. You feel it at the ultimate level - that you've had some success there. That's the fun part of it.
He also describes the range of emotions both the players and the health team may experience during the period of rehabilitation from an injury:
You see how the kid struggles through it. It's different than taking care of other patients, because you see them every week. Sometimes two or three times every week. So getting over things is like watching grass grow – it takes time. That's the frustration of trainers. They see them every day. I see them two or times a week. Whereas, with my other patients, I'll see them at two weeks, then at six, then in three months. I don't go through that day-to-day with them. It's hard to go through it day-to-day. They'll have good days and bad days, but you learn a lot by seeing them through that spectrum. By really seeing it every day, or three days a week, you learn a lot about how to manage it. It isn't all about just getting better – you have to take the bad days with the good.
Perhaps the greatest advantage of the aforementioned databank system is the ability to apply the information back to non-professional athletes and other patients. "You see what maximum stress is like," Dr. Warren explains, "but you've got it in your framework of experience as to what can work at a very high level. So that gives you the confidence to use it at a general level for patients who engage in these sports recreationally.
"That's the real benefit of working with professional athletes: that level of application. You know the maximum level of rehabilitation you can achieve. So as a result, you know that you have to structure that rehabilitation process a certain way in order to achieve that level of success in other patients."
Given all of the pressures placed on pro athletes to stay healthy, perform at their peak, and achieve success on the field, they may fear losing their position if they fail to recuperate from an injury fully or in an acceptable period of time. They may feel, for example, that an invasive surgical procedure may hinder their chances of a quick, full recovery.
"Since the beginning," notes Dr. Warren, "I've been very upfront with them. We perform a private examination, discuss the situation, and educate them about it. I talk with them one on one, and I treat them just like private patients. I don't do anything differently than I'd do with my other patients; I just tell them exactly what I think."
Some conditions may warrant special precaution and may keep the player out of games, such as head, neck, and spine injuries. "Some injuries you can play with, some you can't. With minor injuries, other things may hurt, may bother the player, but they can still play without risking long term harm. With certain injuries, though, you don't know all the ramifications at the beginning."
Although each player can decide for himself whether or not to play with a borderline injury, Warren has ultimate authority when it comes to more serious injuries. If an injury poses long term harm to the player, Dr. Warren will take him out of play. This authority was provided to him by the Giants general manager, and it covers the entire organization, from rookies to veterans.
"Some team physicians don't have that authority," Dr. Warren explains. "It's a different level, because it involves a lot of other people besides the athlete, including the trainer, the coach, and the agent. There's a wide range of interested parties who have nothing to do with orthopedics or healthcare, but they all have a stake in the player's outcome."
This system of forthright communication fostered by Dr. Warren's medical team has worked well for the Giants. "We meet every week to go over each injury to the players, and we tell them exactly what we think. A lot of our success comes down to communication. If you have good communication with the organization, the people within the system, it solves a lot of problems."
This particular brand of honesty also extends to the media as well. Dr. Warren contends that the press is savvy enough to know what's going on with the players when it comes to their state of health. "They know who's out there and who isn't playing, so they'll ask the coach what the story is," he remarks. "We educate the coach and the trainers about it, but if it's a major issue, we'll announce it ourselves. The way the league works, they don't want a lot of hidden information about player injuries."
The number one piece of advice Dr. Warren can provide to aspiring footballers echoes similar advice heard from doctors and strength coaches everywhere: "Get in shape. Work out hard, but always learn good techniques."
Up-and-coming athletes should always be aware of what their bodies are telling them. Although hard work is the primary facet of performance in the game, amateurs might work too hard – especially when they have a propensity for certain knee problems. They can lift weights excessively, aggravate the problem, and end their athletic promise prematurely.
Dr. Warren has seen some amateur athletes enter his office with torn rotator cuffs, which they generated at age 30 as a direct result of lifting weights. "They should have realized they were getting into trouble and altered their approach," he says.
Athletes should always listen to how their body responds to the activity they engage in, and if they do have problems, they should adjust to them. "Just don't push through them," advises Dr. Warren. "It works the same way with a rehab program – if something bothers you, shorten the duration, change the angle, or give it up entirely. There are many different ways to do these exercises. A good trainer or therapist will help make those adjustments."
Other members of the HSS staff serve as team physicians for many college and professional teams, including the New York Mets, Knicks, Nets, Liberty, Red Bulls, and others. Along with Dr. Warren, these specialists have a vast experience in treating high performance athletes and readily pass this knowledge on to residents, fellows and other members of the HSS staff. Members of the Hospital for Special Surgery Sports Medicine Service maintain a high standard in education, research and, most importantly, the highest standards in quality patient care.

The August '08 Blogs of the Round Table is up, with the subject being what positive lessons writers have learned from video games. It's a diverse crop as usual, and Chris Bateman at Only a Game looks at what he learned by not playing a game: Civilization in this case, or any Sid Meier game, for that matter. And what did Bateman learn from not playing? Well, a few lessons on the audience for games in general:
Not playing Civ taught me some important lessons about the audience for games. Yes, I may want to screw around with history and make bizarre alternate timelines but most players want to be authentic to their perception of history, not to their boundless imaginations, at least in the context of nation-building games. I may feel constrained by a tech tree which encodes certain preconceptions about history, but most players of Civ find in the technology tree a vibrant advancement mechanic that they enjoy exploring and min-maxing to their benefit.
Not playing Civ taught me that I am not the audience for games, even though I have spent my life playing them. And that, I suppose, helped push me into further exploring just who the audience for games really were...
The whole Round Table set is worth a read, as always. There are twelve entries thus far, which is more than enough to while away an hour or two with.

Android devices are a different beast from Apple's iPhone. This is mostly due to the fact that Android devices aren't tied into a service like iTunes and the App Store. Instead, these devices use the Google Play app marketplace, or proprietary marketplaces like the Amazon app store on Kindle Fires.
With this how-to we'll help you learn how to download and install apps using Google Play. You will need a device with WiFi, 3G, or 4G access.
1. Access to Google Play is provided via a pre-installed app on your Android phone. Turn on the phone and unlock it. You will see the Android homescreen. Towards the bottom of the screen you should see a little tab or grid icon. Tap the icon, which opens a new view showing all the apps that are on the device.
2. Find the pictograph that is labeled "Play Store". Generally this icon a white handbag on it with the Google Play triangle logo. Tap the icon for it to load up.
3. Browse and search for apps that you'd like to install. For this example, let's grab a free app, like the original Angry Birds.
4. Once you've selected an app for download tap the app of choice to view details like the description, rating, and the number of downloads by other users. At the bottom you should see a button labeled "Install." A list of device functions that the app needs to access in order to function properly will pop up. Confirm the install with another tap and the download and install process will begin.
Depending on the size of the app it may take a few minutes to download. Once it's finished the app is officially installed.
5. If you go back into the app grid, your new app will be there. Launch it and start playing.
Note: You can find a list of all the apps that you've downloaded by going into the Android Market app and finding the "My Downloads" section.

They say it's not over till the fat lady sings – well today is a very sad days as she is singing her heart out in Liverpool. After 19 years the world famous 3 Beat Record Store that fed the world elite dj's as well as the man on the street's appetite with everything for the classiest, coolest underground releases to the monster, pop, club crossovers has today shut its doors for the very last time.
The past eighteen months has been tough on traditional music retail with high street chains falling foul of the market shift to downloading and the smaller trader in turn has also felt the pinch.
Jon Barlow the owner of 3 Beat said 'the past year especially has been difficult – I have invested heavily in keeping the store open but that is now not an option. There is a simple fact that sums up the situation our record label now does not manufacture vinyl – how can we justify running a record shop when we are not backing vinyl as a product from our own label…'
The 3 Beat labels 3 Beat Blue and 3 Beat Red continue to trade and are in fact in fantastic shape moving forward – currently sat at number 3 in the national charts with Agnes 'Release Me' the multi talented Swedish Idol winner and a whole host of other releases from Agent X Feat Ultra & Mutya [of Sugababes fame] P Money, Alkazar, Skyla and Cahill.
The end of an era and some of the best times of my life – 3 Beat Records RIP [Pezz]

Long-time Mathur observers know that the former chemistry teacher tends not to get along with women, especially strong and competent women. (See Mathur vs. women.)
As we reported nearly a year ago,
[In 2001,] then-IVC President Mathur hired a white guy from Virginia to be Dean of Health Sciences, PE, and Athletics at IVC. The guy didn't look like much, on paper or otherwise. That was bad enough, but he was chosen, by Mathur, over Cely Mora, a popular educator with a state-wide reputation for excellence in her field.(To see how well Mathur's twitular white male turned out, see Complaints, suit filed against college dean.)
According to the search committee, she was by far the superior candidate. But she's a woman, so Raghu decided to go with the guy with sh*tty paper.
Plus the guy's name was "Rodney Poindexter." [The fellow turned out to be unstable.] People were plenty pissed off.
Cely decided to take the matter to civil court. She sued Mathur personally for racial and gender discrimination. She had a strong case, as these kinds of cases go. But, to the amazement of many observers, the judge granted summary judgment in favor of [Mathur]; further, he ruled that she must pay Mathur's attorneys fees.
The ruling was ridiculous, and so Cely appealed, and, in August of [2005], the appellate court unanimously decided that the original judge's granting of summary judgment in favor of Mathur was improper, as was his decision concerning attorneys fees.
Well, at long last, court is in session--or, rather, it will be soon! The trial--it's a jury trial--is set for next week, from Tuesday through Thursday, in Los Angeles.
Today, several IVC faculty and at least one former administrator were given notices to appear (on the first day of trial, I'm told). Don't know who else was summoned.
Stay tuned.

A Flaw in the Blood is enjoyable historical fiction and the world that Barron describes is one in which readers will gladly lose themselves for a few hours. But, first and foremost, it is a good mystery, one with just the right mixture of fact and fiction to keep its readers guessing and turning pages. I was a bit surprised that I did not feel more empathy for the two main characters than I did, however, and have to blame that on the author's failure to quite get me to see Georgiana and Patrick, much less the villain chasing them, as real people.

Prescription Drug Take-Back Day Set for April 28
The Lincoln/Lancaster County Narcotics Task Force encourages residents to rid their homes of potentially dangerous, expired, unused and unwanted prescriptions and over-the-counter drugs as part of National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day Saturday, April 28, 2012. The event is an initiative of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to prevent pill abuse and theft. The service is free and anonymous.
The public can bring medications for disposal from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at these locations:
CVS Pharmacy 4800 O Street CVS Pharmacy 1401 Superior Street Walgreens 8300 Northern Lights Drive (84th & Holdrege) Walgreens 2630 Pine Lake Drive Walgreens 4000 South 70th Street (70th & Pioneers Blvd.)
The Nebraska Attorney General's Office also is sponsoring a location at Lincoln Neighborhood Pharmacy, 6811 "O" Street. To check for the nearest collection site, go to www.justice.gov/dea.
Last October, Americans turned in 377,080 pounds (188.5 tons) of prescription drugs at more than 5,300 sites operated by the DEA and nearly 4,000 state and local law enforcement partners. In its three previous Take Back events, DEA and its partners took in almost a million pounds (nearly 500 tons) of pills.
According to the DEA, medicines kept in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse and abuse. Rates of prescription drug abuse, accidental poisonings and overdoses in the U.S. are alarmingly high. Studies show that most abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends.
Americans are now advised that their usual methods of disposing of unused medicines (flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash) pose potential safety and health hazards.

Unattended bag outside Pulse nightclub deemed non-hazardous
Unattended bag outside Pulse nightclub deemed non-hazardous
ORLANDO, Fla. —
An unattended bag found outside of Pulse nightclub Friday is not a hazard, fire officials said.
The Orlando fire and police departments were called to investigate the discovery of a suspicious device in front of Pulse nightclub a little after 9 a.m.
The fire department said the item in question is an unattended bag. At about 10 a.m. the fire department said no hazard was found.
Fire officials said that as a precaution they evacuated businesses between West Kaley Street and East Harding Street on South Orange Ave.
Police closed both directions of South Orange Avenue and Kaley Street in the area.
Forty-nine people were killed and dozens more were injured in a shooting at the nightclub last June.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Legendary MIT head coach Fran O'Brien will be honored during halftime of the Engineers' final regular-season home game against Clark University on Saturday, Feb. 17. O'Brien, who already was a member of the Massachusetts Baseball Hall of Fame, was inducted into the New England Basketball Hall of Fame this fall.
February 17 will be a busy day for the men's basketball program, which will be celebrating Senior Day as well as hosting the alumni game at 10 a.m. in Rockwell Cage. The varsity game is scheduled to tip-off at 2:00 p.m., with the Senior Day announcements occurring before the starting lineups. At halftime, an inspiring group of MIT greats including former head coaches, Ted Heuchling and Leo Osgood, and former MIT President Dr. Paul Gray, will join O'Brien at mid-court for a brief dedication. Following the game, there will be a reception open to the MIT community in the Zesiger Center lobby.
O'Brien was one of the most beloved coaches in MIT lore. Recording 99 wins between 1972 and 1986, O'Brien was named New England Division III Coach of the Year following the 1979-80 campaign. Revered by the basketball community, O'Brien was also at the head of the coaching class in baseball and retired as the diamond program's all-time winningest coach. In 1993, he was tabbed New England Division III Coach of the Year, becoming one of only two coaches in the history of MIT athletics to earn region coach of the year honors in two different sports.
O'Brien has also been inducted into the Town of Randolph Hall of Fame and Stonehill College Hall of Fame. His tenure at the Institute extended from 1969-1996.

If it wasn't for the frog that I was chasing across the stream with my camera we might never have discovered the tiny sandbank hidden from view by trees along the turn the stream took before cutting through the wildlife sanctuary at Mollem, 56 kms. off Panaji and bordering Karnataka State to the east. And we wouldn't have seen the Common Map Butterfly (Cyrestis thyodamas).
Much of the stream along the course it took in the stretch visible to us was shaded by trees lining the banks. In the few patches where sunlight streamed through canopies it lit up stones in the shallow water, a few protruding above the waterline. On one such stone a frog basking in the Sun caught my attention. Sensing my approach it quickly leapt back into the water and swam towards another stone, then yet another as it led me on a merry chase down stream. The water was cool to the skin and I moved carefully lest I slip and land the camera in the water. In the canopies that rose on the banks birdcalls sounded at steady intervals. In the silence of the jungle it is the tiniest creatures that sound the loudest.
I disappeared round the bend, leaving Philip behind scanning the trees for birds with his binoculars.
At 240 sq. kms., the Bhagwan Mahavir Wildlife Sanctuary in the Western Ghats mountain ranges abuts the town of Mollem in Sanguem taluka in the State of Goa, and is the largest of Goa's wildlife sanctuaries. The National Highway 4A passing through it on its way to Belgaum in Karnataka cuts the wildlife sanctuary into two and poses the most serious threat yet by facilitating transportation of manganese and iron ore from surface mining sites that ring the wildlife sanctuary.
I soon lost the frog. Turning around to retrace my steps I caught sight of the small sandbank to my left. For a moment I was startled to see a perfectly formed sandbank, an uncommon sight in the wildlife sanctuary. Water had splashed upto my knees. I was wearing light trousers and in the October heat it would take less than twenty minutes to dry once we got back on the trail in the Sun. I called out to Philip to come have a look at the sandbank.
The Bhagwan Mahavir Wildlife Sanctuary is home to the leopard, and the bison among other mammals, and to the Cobra, the Krait, and the Vipers – the Russels, and the Saw Scaled, among other species of snakes. Birdlife in the wildlife sanctuary is said to number over 200 species of birds. I've logged over 90 species in the sanctuary myself on my treks over the years.
But it was butterflies I was seeking that October morning last year, and anything 'interesting' along the way.
As we prepared to make our way across the stream to the other side I paused to photograph shoots sprouting on the trunk of a large tree. A hint of Sun that made it through the canopy lit up the tender green of the sprouting plant in an ethereal glow as if in a halo around a divine event. Much else was hidden in deep shade, and contrasted sharply in the glow of the Sun meeting the tender shoots on the trunk. At times few sights in the jungle can match the interplay of the sun and the shadows.
It was about then that Philip caught the Sun glinting off the back of the frog sunbathing on a stone mid-stream and I went chasing it before eventually losing it downstream.
As Philip made his way to the tiny sandbank I settled down in the sand more for feeling the sand underneath than for resting. We drank water from the bottle and settled down to soak in the quietude. We had walked two hours before coming upon the stream. Our voices will have been carried downstream, alerting the jungle to our presence. Jungle eyes miss nothing, least of all human voices.
At first I didn't notice the Common Map Butterfly among the stones, not until it shifted position, seeking a stone in a moist patch to bask on before leaving it for a patch of moist sand.
Its wings matched the pale white of the sand, camouflaging it well in its environs. Unlike some butterflies, most notably the Grass Yellow and the Pansy (Lemon, Grey, Blue, and the Peacock) among a few others, the Common Map Butterfly showed little on no inclination to lead me on fruitless chases in the Sun. It barely moved while I photographed it.
Over the years I've come to favour butterflies that seek damp places if for nothing else than for the fact that unlike other butterflies that make photographing them a backbreaking effort in the Sun, water-course loving butterflies wouldn't be bothered much with human presence unless one got very close,
Common Bluebottle (Graphium sarpedon) is the other species I've had better luck photographing. I first came upon Common Bluebottles while we were tracking a leopard along a riverbank, following its pugmarks in the sand when we happened upon a delightful group of Common Bluebottles mud-puddling in the sand, their greenish-blue bands running prominently along the length of their wings on the outside and setting off the pale sand in a burst of colour. I went on my knees with my camera and for close to ten minutes they barely moved, engrossed in mud-puddling. The males among the butterflies are known to mud-puddle along riverbanks and are said to ingest dissolved minerals.
The Common Map Butterfly is rarely to be found away from water courses in the forest and belongs to the Nymphalidae, the butterfly family that accounts for most butterfly species found in India.
As we left the sandbank to pick up our original trail a movement in a leafy branch overhanging the path revealed a butterfly that I thought looked like the Common Indian Crow (Euploea core), among the more commonly found butterflies in the wildlife sanctuary. It looks similar to the female of the Great Eggfly (Hypolimnus bolina) and can be mistaken for one. I'll remember the Common India Crow for a memorable sighting one summer day in the sanctuary a few years ago.
While on our way to Collem through the sanctuary, Philip and I ran into hundreds of Common Crows migrating through the forest, easily numbering over five hundred and pushing on seemingly determinedly. As they flitted across our path we stood in silence watching them move on. Neither of us had a camera on us that day, and never have I needed a camera as badly ever since!
On long trails flowers break the monotony of the landscape. Here they are not to be found in abundance in the lower reaches of the sanctuary, in marked contrast as one ascends the hills in the vicinity. However Ixora (Ixora coccinea) blooms in the sanctuary all round the year, drawing attention with its bright red petals contrasting sharply against the grey of its surroundings in the summer. Ixora belongs to the Coffee family.
When I started out I had expected to see more of Grey Pansy (Junonia atlites) and was surprised with how few there actually were on the trail. I cannot be sure if it was the time of day that was responsible for so few numbers or if it was the time of year. Whatever the case may be I was delighted to have a Grey Pansy fly over to me and settle on my trousers. Trust makes for delightful company on jungle trails, more so when trails goes quiet in the afternoons.
Teak grows aplenty in the wildlife sanctuary and so does Kindal. Silk Cotton and Flame of the Forest blaze away in early summer while Ficus trees attract birds in droves and together they feast on figs in relative peace. And they feast long. Once I spent over an hour watching a pair of Grey Hornbills oblivious to my presence while they feasted on the figs for the entire duration.
As we walked along more flowers graced our trail, a welcome sprinkling of colour and a reason to pause and take them in before moving on. The Bicolour Persian Violet (Exacum tetragonum) above lent the dry earth promise. Like many flowers in deciduous forests, the Persian Violet flowers in September-December. They were few and far between on our trail.
We dodged Common Grass Yellows (Eurema hecabe) flitting about on the narrow path in the direction of Nandran Mol. Watching pairs of Grass Yellows zig zag along the path it was easy to assume they were courting pairs, it seemed proper to do so, and having done that they acquired a renewed interest in my eyes, and in their every twist and turn I sought a pattern I could then interpret. There was none I could notice though. On occasions the Grass Yellows (Family Pieridae) would feed on flowers before taking off. They added urgency to the quiet afternoon, rarely flying higher than waist level and sticking to the open area of the jungle path. With the Sun beating down on my back one of them eventually perched on a flower long enough for me to release the shutter several times.
In a clearing the forest department had effected along the path not far from where it forks into two directions, one leading to the Vasant Bhandhara, the other up the hill to the highest point in the wildlife sanctuary, a lone male Danaid Eggfly warmed up on the embankment burnt hard by the Sun, closing and opening its wings in slow motion. I crossed over the embankment to get closer to the butterfly.
While returning I was alerted to a rustling in the plants clustered around a tree and which I had brushed on my way back. A menacing looking centipede emerged from the cluster of plants and hurried up the tree at admirable pace.
It was past noon. At a time when one would expect the rarer among the sightings to have retreated into the shade deep inside the jungle, the Grey Count (Tanaecia lepidea) surprised me by making an appearance. Not content with merely making an appearance it flew over to me and settled on my instep and I was loath to move lest it take wings. Moments like these warm the trails in ways that only acceptance by another can. To have it happen to me the second time in a little over an hour and half must mean someone was helping bring things together. I cannot recollect the last time I spotted the Grey Count. Its characteristic white band resembles an upturned mustache. The languorous flight as it took off and settled among low lying vegetation and the easy familiarity it displayed in settling on my instep redeemed the trail in no small measure.
It is never easy to identify the Common Sailor (Neptis hylas) from the Common Sergeant (Athyma perius), more so given how quickly they move about but Common Lascar (Pantoporia hordonia) was easy given their orange markings as against the white of the Sailor and the Sergeant.
Lemon Pansy (Junonia lemonias) matched the Grass Yellow in numbers. Unlike the Grey Pansy, the Lemon Pansy has striking markings on its wings. The two pairs of eye-spots display prominently on the wings. However I was baffled seeing several of the species flying around with broken wings, too many for one trail. I wonder if those eye-spots on the Lemon Pansy had attracted predators into making a grab for their wings. I'll never know.
It's never easy to overlook a bright and cheerful butterfly with broken wings and move on, and so many!
But I had to!

Butterfly Morning in Mollem
If it wasn't for the frog that I was chasing across the stream with my camera we might never have discovered the tiny sandbank hidden from view by trees along the turn the stream took before cutting through the wildlife sanctuary at Mollem, 56 kms. off Panaji and bordering Karnataka State to the east. And we wouldn't have seen the Common Map Butterfly (Cyrestis thyodamas).

Really liked your writing a lot and i've just voted for your blog on the Lonely Planet website. It would be great if you had one of your lovely photos as part of your blog header image too. Reading your post, for some moments, one is so lost in listening to your story that its awful when it ends and you realise you are only looking at a computer screen! Thanks for doing such a great travelogue!!

Love the pictures. This has been one of the most enjoyable posts. I am an animal lover and hence I absolutely love this post and the butterflies are just so beautiful.
Mahim is said to be the hub for butterflies in Mumbai. Although I haven't seen too many here, I did spot a huge black butterfly a while back. A friend captured it on camera but it's true beauty could only be viewed by the eye. I must say again, it was a huge one. Almost the size of a mango leaf.

Cynthia: Thank you.
Lori Ann: Thank you. It's always a pleasure.
Maybe that's their way of drawing attention to themselves, or maybe that's nature's way of compensating them for their small size or maybe they would've found it difficult to look for a mate if not for the vocals.
It's the 'maybes' that make jungle trails so fascinating.
Marja-leena: Thank you. If I had hit the trail early I might've been able to spot more species of butterflies. Around 7:30 a.m., just when the Sun begins its ascent in the sky would've been ideal.
Amber Star: Absolutely, we only need to turn around and pause a bit to see it.
We were on the trail of a leopard that day, mostly one with cubs, for we were tracking three sets of pugmarks of which two pairs were clearly not adult.
Face to face, I would've stood still and done nothing that might've been construed as threatening.
On a trail with a friend I've been face to face with a leopard growling at us from behind a clump of bamboos. We froze, then retreated slowly.
The Things We Carried: Thank you.
Bobbie: Thank you. Nature has an ethereal quality to it.
Sallymandy: Thank you. It's so important to connect with fellow life, more so now than ever before, for in their marginalisation we stand to lose our own context in the scheme of the planet, a very lonely planet!
Kaustub: Thank you.
Kiran: I was touched by your comment, very much so.
Thank you for suggesting it, I was planning to use one of my pictures for the header, hopefully I will sooner than later.
Thank you for the vote.
Taraana: Thank you. It's a pleasure to know enjoyed reading the post.
It is still possible to see an occasional butterfly in Bombay, I saw one fluttering in front of a shop in Matunga not too long ago.
Slogan Murugan: Thank you.
Anjuli: Thank you.
Roxie: Thank you. Thanks for your wishes in the Lonely Planet voting.
Sundar: Thank you. It's encouraging to know you enjoyed reading it.

Kenju: Thank you. It suspect it mut have a nasty sting.
Raji Muthukrishnan: Thank you for the wishes.
N: Thank you :-)

A really nice post ... Mollem is especially special to us since my dad has a rubber plantation there I have been to Mollem several times and even to the wild life sanctuary.I have always enjoyed going there. But seeing it through your eyes has indeed been very wonderful. I wish I wish we had taken more of those wildlife trips together back when we all had all the time in the world.
Thankyou again for taking me back in time .. to a time I really cherish to this day... :)

So much information in one post - I had to re-read it! Beautiful, it sounds just like the sort of place and type of outing that we love. Teak trees, figs, and grey hornbills all sound very similar to what we have here, and I do enjoy learning about all those gorgeous and unfamiliar flowers and butterflies over there. Thanks!

Stuck Inside: DIY Play Forts to Keep Everyone Entertained
We have been stuck in the house for a couple of weeks now, while colds and flus run through every member of our small family. Winter packs such a whallop: Stuck inside because of the cold weather first, and now our health too! It's especially trying when my 4 year old daughter tends to behave like she ate a bag of sugar when she has a cold. The crazies come out in full force.
What's a family to do? How about an indoor play fort? We have a couple of options at our house already, but I'd love to try my hand at one of these cool DIY fort and tent ideas. Some are more elaborate than others, but even if you don't want to get out the drill or put a hook in your ceiling, you'll find something that might work for your cabin fever too.
Here are some of my favorite indoor fort ideas:
- Make Your Own A-Frame Tent, from A Beautiful Mess
- Life Size Newspaper Building Blocks, from Modern Parents Messy Kids
- Justina's Valentine's Day Fort, from Design*Sponge
- DIY Cozy Reading Fort, from Small & Friendly
- DIY Fort Kit, The Hohnstreiter Ohana

text: FunknBlues Jam is exactly that, a fun and modern take on the blues. It is fun and full of funk! Synths, guitars, drum loops and bass give it an infectious rhythmical hook. A definite dance beat underpins the whole jam but it retains the classic blues jam feel. 100bpm and both the mp3 and wav files are included in the download

When the Box Says 'Protein,' Shoppers Say 'I'll Take It'
When General Mills Inc. wanted to introduce two new bars to its stable of snacks, it chose the same word to make them sell: protein.
Protein is the buzzword that is helping sell many kinds of foods. Food companies are placing more prominent protein labels on packaging and adding protein to such products as drinks, bars and cereals.
