Healing ADDwith Dr. Daniel Amen and Tana Amen | Thursday, 9:30 p.m.
ADD or ADHD is a national health crisis that continues to grow-yet it remains one of the most misunderstood and incorrectly treated illnesses today. Kids and adults are put on powerful stimulant medications in short office visits without any biological information, and the stories of these medications hurting children and adults are common and persistent. In this national public television program, psychiatrist Daniel Amen and his wife nurse Tana Amen take a completely new look at ADD and explain 7 unique types based on the extensive brain imaging work of the Amen Clinics on tens of thousands of ADD patients.
Treating all people with ADD the same invites failure and frustration and can be a disaster, as the traditional treatments that make two of the types better can make the other 5 types worse. The show is divided into three parts. In Part One, the myths and misconceptions about ADD will be discussed as well as the hallmark ADD symptoms. In Part Two, the 7 different types of ADD will be described in detail. And, in Part Three Dr. and Mrs. Amen we'll give you a clear method for Healing ADD, including the best natural treatments. They are not opposed to medication, but think it's smart to start with lifestyle and natural treatments first.

BrainChangeWednesday | 8:30 p.m.
BrainChange reveals the devastating truth about the effects of wheat, sugar, and carbohydrates on the human brain, with a 30-day plan to achieve optimum health. Renowned neurologist David Perlmutter, MD, blows the lid off a topic that's been buried in medical literature for far too long: carbs are destroying your brain. And not just unhealthy carbs, but even healthy ones like whole grains can cause dementia, ADHD, anxiety, chronic headaches, depression, and much more.
His New York Times #1 best-selling book, Grain Brain, is the first book of its kind to explore the insidious role our highly touted low-fat, high-carb diets play in a host of neurological conditions. The vast majority of us don't realize that our seemingly "healthy" daily habits are silently aggravating our nervous systems and setting us up for serious brain ailments. BrainChange shows that the fate of your brain is not in your genes. It's in the food you eat. Dr. Perlmutter, a leading international authority on nutritional medicine, has a disturbing yet empowering message: our brains are highly sensitive to certain proteins and sugars that are ubiquitous today-in our hand creams and organic ice creams, cocktails and coffees, multi-grain breads, whole fruits, and even brand name pharmaceuticals.
In BrainChange, he shows us how to prevent, treat, and reverse a wide array of brain-related disorders by eliminating specific foods from our diets and making smarter lifestyle choices. Dr. Perlmutter is the only doctor in the country who is both a board-certified neurologist and a Fellow of the American College of Nutrition, making him uniquely suited to write this book and make this public television program. An in-demand expert for nationally syndicated radio and television programs, he has appeared on 20/20, CNN, Dr. Oz, Fox News, Good Morning America, The Today Show, and Oprah, among many outlets. Dr. Perlmutter also runs his own private practice, The Perlmutter Health Center, in Naples, Florida.

Classical RewindThursday | 8 p.m.
From the romantic mood of Beethoven's 'Moonlight Sonata' to the dramatic emotions of Orff's 'O Fortuna', Classical Rewind visits the greatest compositions and composers of all time. The program weaves the stories of their works with visual interpretations of the music set to iconic images of nature, fantasy, historical locations, architecture and art. Interviews with contemporary performers in both the classical and popular arenas offer shared musical memories and personal favorites. The program is designed to reach both long-time music lovers as well as those beginning the journey of exploring the masterworks. For many, this is the music they grew up enjoying and appreciating. For others, the melodies are recognizable from movies, television, commercials and even Fourth of July celebrations. Classical Rewind explores the origins of the music, stories and anecdotes about the composers and their works, and how so many of the classics have become part of our common culture.

Lent at EphesusThursday | 7 & 11 p.m.
Lent at Ephesus tells the fascinating story of how the Nuns came to record their album and details their lives at their monastery. Full length performances of traditional and original chants demonstrate the power and beauty of these Lenten songs. Offering their lives in prayer and sacrifice for priests, The Benedictines of Mary use the work of their hands primarily for the making of priestly vestments. They also take care of gardens, an orchard and a small farm.
The Sisters are young and extremely musical. They do not set foot beyond their Midwest rolling farmland, focusing solely on living an austere, yet joyful life set apart from the world. Working on their farm and mostly living off the land, they sing together eight times a day as part of their daily monastic schedule of Vespers and Divine Office, lifting their hearts to God through music. The order's Prioress, Mother Cecilia, vacated her seat in the horn section with the Columbus Symphony Orchestra in Ohio to enter religious life, despite her conservatory background where music was emphasized over religion.

30 Days to a Younger Heartwith Dr. Steven Masley | Wednesday, 7 p.m.
Did you know that it's possible to make your heart 10 years younger? Regardless of your body composition, genetics, or age...you can turn back time. And when you do...you will feel healthier, trimmer, fitter, sexier, mentally sharper and better than you have in a decade.
Does it sound too good to be true? It isn't. Steven Masley, MD and his three simple steps have helped thousands of patients turn back the clock...and reverse the onset of aging and disease. He is a board-certified physician, nutritionist, longevity researcher and award-winning educator who is also a highly acclaimed chef, trained at the Four Seasons. In "30 Days to a Younger Heart", Dr. Masley shares the surprising news that Metabolic Syndrome, also known as pre-diabetes - not high cholesterol - is the number one cause of cardiovascular disease. Since the term metabolic syndrome is new to most, the doctor describes how easy it is to determine your risk, and why so many Americans have it. Dr. Masley also educates viewers about the dangers of invasive, often unnecessary cardiovascular procedures. His 3 step Heart Tune-Up program is a guide to making lifestyle changes that significantly reduce the likelihood of developing cardiovascular disease. He specifically discusses the impact food, nutrients and exercise have on making a measurable difference in the reduction of arterial plaque. Discover five new categories of heart-healing foods, learn how the amount of time you exercise isn't as important as you may think plus ensure you receive the five key nutrients many lack but are truly necessary for a younger heart.
No matter how old you are, or how much you weigh or even the health battle you are facing, no one has to be on a one-way street to aging and disability. Patients' lives every day have been saved and transformed with this heart tune-up program that explores the three easy lifestyle corrections that can take 10 years off of your heart's age in just 30 days.

Friday Music Block
8 p.m. - Live From the Artists Den
Norah Jones: Brooklyn resident Norah Jones didn't have to travel far from home to film her episode of "Live from the Artists Den." In front of 200 invited guests, she performed a stunning career-spanning set at the historic Green Building in Brooklyn's Carroll Gardens neighborhood. The rough-hewn beauty of the former brass foundry was a spectacular backdrop the 20-song retrospective, ranging from her breakthrough hit, "Don't Know Why," to her latest single, "Happy Pills," before concluding with an encore that saw her and her band gathered around an old-time microphone, offering sweet harmonies to send a delighted audience into the night.
9 p.m. - Austin City Limits
Jason Isbell/Neko Case: ACL presents modern roots rock with Jason Isbell and Neko Case. Isbell performs tunes from his acclaimed LP Southeastern, while Case sings songs from her latest album.
Sunday Lifestyle Programming Block
5 p.m. - Illinois Pioneer
5:30 p.m. - Burt Wolf: Travels and Traditions
Connecting The Dots In America: During Burt's 40 years of reporting, he has lived through a half-dozen recessions in the United States and visited dozens of countries during their economic downturns. In this program, he travels across the U.S. talking to people who have made our nation economically stronger - creative entrepreneurs with great imaginations who started small businesses based on their innovative ideas and technology and made fortunes for themselves and the people who helped them get started.
6 p.m. - All-Star Orchestra: Mahler: Love, Sorrow and Transcendence
Gustav Mahler: Rueckert Lieder (Songs from Latter Days) Soloist: Nancy Maultsby; Gustav Mahler: "Totenfeier" ("Funerary Rites" - 1st Mvt. from Symphony No. 2); Augusta Read Thomas: Of Paradise and Light; Bernard Rands: Adieu. Mahler's turbulent loves are expressed through his music. His settings of poems by Friedrich Rueckert explore themes of love, nature, and otherworldliness. Mahler was haunted throughout his life by the premonition of his own death. The first movement of his 2nd Symphony draws stark contrasts between the composer's premonition of doom, and his vision of life. Modern parallels can be found in "Adieu" by Bernard Rands and "Of Paradise and Light" by his wife, composer Augusta Read Thomas. Both comment on the unique dynamics of creative/personal partnerships.
7 p.m. - Antiques Roadshow: Vintage Des Moines

Kate Pleasant - Producer/Director
When Did You Start at WEIU? Summer 2007
What Does WEIU Mean to You? WEIU means a safe, family-friendly entertainment and learning source.
Favorite Show on WEIU: I have a 2-year-old, so we're really getting into Super Why and Word World. My personal favorite is a lot of our local programming because it really connects me to our community. On the national side, I'm starting to get into Downton Abbey!
What have you learned while working at WEIU?: What haven't I learned!? WEIU has taught me about valuing my community. WEIU has taken me places I never thought I would go (like an underground river for Heartland Highways). I have learned that not only is WEIU great, quality programming, but the people behind it really believe in the mission too.
Why should someone become a member of WEIU? Everyone should become a member of WEIU. I'm a member. If you value educational programming, information straight from your own backyard, and family-friendly TV, then WEIU is for you. You should know, too, that everyone behind the scenes here at the station really believes in what we do too. For us, it's personal. We're a family and we're always looking to expand, so come be a part of our story!
Is WEIU as important to you as it is to Kate? Become a member today! Also, send us a message and let us know what WEIU means to you!
We love to hear from you!
If I wasn't able to watch WEIU, I don't know what I would do. I would most likely throw my television in the trash! I will continue to support good television and WEIU is GREAT TV.

text: I'll be giving birth in early January and it gets pretty cold (for me) here. Okay, so it's not REALLY cold, but for us Hawaiians, 50 degrees is FREEZING My house isn't insulated either so it gets a lot colder in the house. Can anyone recommend good warm sleepwear for infants? During the cold season, I put my daughter in two PJs because since we are in Hawaii, we don't really have warm PJs. Infants obviously can't control their temperature so I'm looking for something warm for her. Ideas?

DC comic book fans will know about Two-Face. For those who have no clue, the short version of his story is that he was once Harvey Dent, a clean-cut district attorney in Gotham City who ends up going insane after mob boss Sal Maroni throws acid at him, scarring half his face.
Dent goes on to adopt the "Two-Face" moniker, choosing to bring about good or evil based upon the outcome of a coin flip.
Fans of Riesling may be familiar with the good or "sweet" side to the aromatic white wine. It's Germany's top export from regions like Mosel-Saar-Ruwer, Pfalz, Rheinhessen and Rheingau. New world wine countries also produce slightly sweet or "off dry" Rieslings like Australia and the U.S.
But there's another face that Riesling offers. It's not evil, in fact, it can be particularly brilliant.
These would be found in the Alsace region of France.
Alsatian Rieslings tend to be drier, full-bodied with slate features. They also will likely be a bit higher in alcohol content. With time, they do tend to have a smell of petrol.
Rieslings are great for pairing with a wide range of food due to their high acidity and balance of sugar.
Because of their ability to feature the spectrum of aromas and flavors (along with roundness in the French versions), you can adjust the particular Riesling you buy with the meal you're willing to prepare.
It can be a more nuanced selection of wine. And don't worry, several of the Alsatian style of Riesling is available in Northeast Wisconsin.
There are also wineries in the U.S. that produce drier Rieslings, so you'll have the ability to go domestic if you so choose.
So next time you're looking for a different approach to a familiar wine, give the drier, austere, stony Riesling a chance.

Recent reviews:
July 25, 2014 - I really like the star - it's well made and attractive. I removed the plastic star center because it looked cheap. It looks far better without it. Perhaps I'll find some other item sometime, crystal or glass, to go inside instead.
January 9, 2014 - Nicely done and I will probably keep it out most of the year. The only thing would be to make the plastic star out of something recycled instead of plastic.
August 22, 2013 - Gave it to our daughter and son-in-law. They both liked it for its recycled bike chain and its good looks. They keep it hanging year 'round. A successful gift to them!
January 20, 2013 - Not my cup of tea. Thought it would make a great gift, but not excited about the way it looks. Decided just to donate it to charity instead.
Artisan: Noah's Ark
In the 1980s there were no fair trade opportunities for local artisans in Moradabad, India. Skilled craftspeople were routinely taken advantage of by export companies operating in the area, and living wages were nearly impossible to come by. Local businessman Samuel Masih saw an opportunity to build a business that would reward artisans with fair wages while exporting beautiful handicrafts. He started Noah's Ark in his home in 1986 with the goal of creating new economic opportunity in the community.
Two years later, Noah's Ark entered the world stage with its first large order from a florist in the U.S. Soon other large orders began flooding in, attracting the attention of the Tear Fund, Artisanat-SEL, Goed Werk, TEAM, and Oxfam Australia, which contributed to even more growth. Today, Noah's Ark works with more than 100 artisan groups involving more than 600 people in Moradabad, Saharanpur, Nagina, Jaipur, Sari Tarin, Delhi, Hapur, Firozabad and Amritsar, paying 10-15% more than other companies in those areas. In 2000, the Noah's Handicrafts and Welfare Society was founded to benefit artisan welfare, children's education, community development, and social work.
Artisan Anwar Saleem, age 27, is a second-generation lantern and lamp maker. His parents died when he was only 18, leaving him responsible for his three younger siblings. He went to work for his uncle, learning the craft of coloring and lacquering lanterns. Unfortunately, his uncle was unable to pay him a living wage and the family suffered. After a couple of years, Anwar was able find employment with Noah's Ark. The fair wages Anwar received turned his family's life around. As he explains, "While working directly with Noah's Ark I was able to save good enough money to do my family responsibilities, then they encouraged me to do some manufacturing work from my home. I got married and also I was able to do marriages of my sisters." Anwar now has his own workshop with seven regular employees and 15 contracted artisans.

Hepatitis C
Hepatitis C is a liver disease caused by infection with the hepatitis C virus. The liver becomes swollen and tender (inflamed) and may develop permanent damage, such as scarring or liver cancer.
Initial symptoms of hepatitis C are mild. They include fatigue, sore muscles, abdominal pain, and sometimes dark urine. Hepatitis C is diagnosed with blood tests, but the disease usually goes unnoticed until years later after liver damage develops.
Hepatitis C is spread through sharing needles, being exposed to infected blood, or, very rarely, having unprotected sex with an infected partner.
Treatment for hepatitis C includes antiviral medicines and supportive therapy. A liver transplant sometimes is needed.

|Yes. Although our website may have a different assortment than a store in your area, the products are the same. To find a store in your area, check out our store finder.
|why are products available on the Canadian site but not on the US site and vice versa?
|In order to serve our guests better, we have two warehouses - one in Canada and one in the US. The advantage of this is that guests don't pay customs duties (we don't do cross-border shipping). The disadvantage is that the warehouses sell out at different rates so one site may still have items that have sold out on the other.

|No. The site you're on now is the only authorized and official place on the internet for lululemon shopping.
|do you carry clothing for children?
|Yes! We created ivivva athletica for girls aged 4 to 14, based on feedback from younger guests at lululemon. The ivivva team works with dancers, gymnasts, ice skaters and athletes to create the technical garments they need to perform at the gym, studio, ice rink and on the field. All ivivva products are made with the same technical, wicking fabrics used by lululemon. Visit ivivva.com to order products online and find your nearest ivivva location.
|where can I find a lululemon store near me?
|Visit our store finder to find your nearest lululemon store and info on local email sign up and complimentary events.

|Yes! You can bring your lululemon pants to any one of our store locations for complimentary hemming. Any time in any store, you can have a garment hemmed and ready for you in the store. No receipt is required and it's no cost to you. Our complimentary hemming provides a custom length for your garment to make it perfect for you. Unfortunately, we don't do alterations that change the intended design or remove a technical feature.
|if I don't have a lululemon store near me, how can I get lululemon gear?
|As well as our stores and lululemon.com, lululemon is also available via strategic sales partners in yoga, Pilates, and fitness studios.
|how do I become a strategic sales partner?

|does lululemon have franchise opportunities available at this time?
|There aren't any franchise opportunities available and we will continue to expand with corporate stores only. All outstanding applications and inquiries have been put on hold indefinitely.
|how do I contact a store?
|You can call or email your local store. We love spending time with you in our store, so we don't always make it to the phone when it's ringing. Leave a message and we'll respond within 24 hours.
|how do I find a particular product?
|If you can't find what you are looking for in our store, check out lululemon.com to find a similar option (or vice versa). Our stores and the GEC don't call other stores to locate product, hold product in the store or provide store to store transfers.

|We use multiple technical fabrics for our various lines of clothing. Please visit the fabrics and technologies page for more details about our fabrics and their properties.

|what are the technical features of lululemon garments?
|There are too many to list here. You can find information about a lot of them on our A to Z of product features. Find out why a dropped hem is a good thing (ditto for the hockey butt) and why we love cuffins.
|what's the scoop on raspberry glo light?

If you experience colour change that doesn't wash out, just give our Guest Education Centre a call toll free at 1.877.263.9300 and we'll make it right.
|what does 'We Made Too Much' mean?
|It means items have been marked down in price. Items from this section are final sale (no returns, no exchanges).
|does lululemon athletica offer price adjustments?
|no, lululemon does not offer price adjustments.
|does lululemon ever discount their products?
|sometimes, we do mark down the prices of select styles and colours. Individual store managers make these decisions based on their store's inventory, so you may see a variance of marked down items between stores. In all stores and online, marked-down product (ie, product that is not full-priced) is always final sale (no returns, no exchanges).
|what is your reselling policy?
|we completely recognize that once someone purchases our product they can do what they want with it. We do not, however, support those who acquire large volumes of our product to resell at an elevated price point.

|who, where, what, why and how is lululemon
|lululemon is a made up word and a company that makes athletic gear for yoga, running and other sweaty pursuits. Read more about the history and vision of lululemon.
|how long can I expect my lululemon gear to last?
|Quality is one of our core values, so you can trust we take it seriously. We design the majority of our product line to withstand five years of intended use. When used for its proposed activity, it will guide you in downward dog today and still go with the flow five years from now. Some parts of your closet are not built to cross that five year finish line. For example, bras, socks, swimwear and intimates actually expire – so we recommend you replace them every few years. Key reasons for this are wide variations in how each individual uses them; harsh conditions that they endure; and ensuring you are getting the best support possible from the elastic found in these garments.
|how does lululemon take a stand for quality?
|When something's not right – we want to know! Our stores and Guest Education Centre are in constant communication with support channels and are the eyes and ears of what's going on with our product. If your garment does not hold up, bring it to your local store or contact the GEC. Quality issues for which we would issue an exchange or gift card include:• all over pilling (not in abrasion areas)• complete stitch unraveling or seam splitting• color bleeding• broken snapsWhenever possible we will fix issues with the product you love:• reattach buttons that have been brought in• replace broken zippers, including zipper tape or pull (zipper options include black, white, or grey)• replace logos that may have fallen off during washing/dryingIf you find an issue outside of those listed above please contact us at our stores or contact the GEC immediately so we can help solve the issue.
|who are the lululemon ambassadors?
|lululemon ambassadors are local athletes, instructors and role models in our lululemon store communities who embody the lululemon lifestyle. Our ambassadors test our clothing to its limits and give us feedback. Read more about our ambassadors.
|does lululemon offer sponsorship?
|The lululemon team sales program develops relationships with teams who actively support their communities. Read about our team sales programand fill in a team sales application.
|how can I give feedback about lululemon products?
|We love reading feedback in the reviews of our product detail pages. Many of our products have been designed based on the feedback and suggestions of our guests. If you have feedback you would like to share, tell us at heylululemon.com
|where does lululemon manufacture its products?
|We currently work with factories in Canada, the United States, Peru, China, Taiwan, South Korea, Israel, India, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Malaysia, Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Vietnam and Switzerland. We take great care in selecting factories that share our commitment to quality, ethics and technical capabilities. lululemon's manufacturing base in Vancouver is vital for security and speed-to-market of our core designs.
|what are factory conditions like where lululemon products are manufactured?
|The factories we use are safe, clean, ventilated, well lit, healthy work environments. We assess the health, safety and quality of working conditions of factories before establishing a working relationship. Read more about our factories.

Cheap ski holidays in hundreds of ski resorts worldwide.
Nb: infants must be under the age of 2 and
children must be under the age of 12 at the time of
Set in a quiet cul-de-sac off the main street, right on the slopes at the foot of the imaginatively named No 6 Blue run, with the beginners ski area literally just behind the chalet and the ski school meeting point a mere 50m away, the Christophorus has got to be one of the best located chalets in the Alps! It is also within easy walking distance of the village centre, giving guests the best of both worlds. Just 30m from the ski-room door, you can put your skis on and ski down to the main Festkogl gondola, and you can ski back right to the chalet at the end of the day. Or, if you wanted to start from the village, the regular free ski-bus stops just 50m from the chalet.
The bedrooms are all well appointed, comfortable and attractively styled, most with their own private en suite bath and separate wc, and several with balcony or terrace.
The dining-room on the first floor is traditionally styled with light wooden fixtures, and there is a traditional Tyrolean tiled stove to add ambience and warmth to your chalet dining experience. A small separate lounge is on the second floor, offering a quiet spot to read or chat over the day's skiing. To add further to the chalet's overall comfort levels the sauna and relaxation area are an added bonus for unwinding after a busy ski day.
Ground Floor:
Entrance, sauna, shower, wc, ski & boot room, lift to all floors
Room 1: Continental twin, sharing adjacent bath and separate wc with room 2Room 2: Continental twin, sharing adjacent bath and separate wc with room 1 (rooms 1 & 2 can also work as a suite, sharing small private lounge between the two rooms)Room 3: Continental Twin with shower/wc

Fourth Floor (partially under eaves):
Room 40: Continental twin with bath/wcRoom 41: Twin/triple/quad (Continental twin plus double sofa bed) with bath/wc
For six days of the week the staff prepares all your meals.
Breakfast: We pride ourselves on giving you a great breakfast to start your day, with a choice of cereals, fresh fruit and juices, yoghurts, plentiful English tea and good filter coffee, bread freshly baked in our chalets each morning, cold meats, cheeses and preserves, and boiled eggs. This is normally presented buffet-style for you to help yourself. And to cap it all, we also cook a hot dish of the day for you six days per week, such as sausage and bacon or pancakes with fresh fruit, individually served.
On the chalet hosts' day off, they will prepare a Continental style breakfast for you, which will be left for you to help yourselves, and that evening you have the chance to eat out in one of the local cafés or restaurants – our resort team will be happy to provide some suggestions. In our Chalet Hotels, a full buffet breakfast (including hot option) is also served on the staff's day off.
Afternoon Tea: The traditional 'welcome home' after a day on the slopes will be laid out for you in your chalet or Chalet Hotel, ready for your return, every day except on the staff's one day off per week. A good cup of tea or coffee is the perfect accompaniment to a delicious slice of freshly home-baked cake and keeps hungry skiers happy until dinner is ready. Children's High Tea: In Chalets and Chalet Hotels with family guests, High Tea provides children under 13 years with a healthy menu, tailored more towards children's tastes and puréed food is available for infants on request. High Tea is at 5.30pm, and children do not join the main adult-only dinner. Families staying in one of our Chalet Hotels may choose to eat separately (High Tea at 5:30pm) or all dine together at the later adult dinner time if children who have received a child discount pay the meal upgrade charge at the time of booking only.
Dinner: A tasty and innovative, freshly cooked dinner will be prepared for you six nights per week by your Chalet Host - or by an experienced and professional chef in our larger chalets - and served with a choice of wines. Our 4-course adult-only chalet dinners start with canapés and an apéritif, followed by an appetiser, main course and dessert, and completed by coffee with chocolates to round off your evening. Your choice of complimentary quality wines is unlimited during the meal service, and freshly chilled water is also of course always available.A special feature of our Chalet Hotels is a more extensive culinary experience for our guests. With the greater kitchen facilities of a hotel, our professional chefs are able to offer choices of menu at dinner, generally including lighter as well as more hearty options, and always a vegetarian choice for each course. Guests will be asked to choose their evening meals at breakfast for that evening from a varied daily selection. Vegetarian options are always on our 'Culinary Choice' menu in our Chalet Hotels, and are available in our chalets if you advise us in advance.

Bone Restore with Vitamin K2120 capsulesItem Catalog Number: 01727
Throughout life, cells known as osteoblasts construct bone matrix and fill it with calcium. At the same time, osteoclasts work just as busily to tear down and resorb bone. This fine balance is regulated by many factors, including systemic hormones and cytokines. Bone mass reaches its peak by the middle of the third decade of life and plateaus for about ten years, during which time bone turnover is constant, with bone formation approximately equaling bone resorption.1,2
As our bodies age, this fine balance is lost. As the relative hormone levels shift in midlife — more drastically in women than in men — the osteoclasts gain the upper hand and bone mass begins to dwindle. Some bone is already being lost by the time women reach menopause, but the rate of loss can increase up to tenfold during the first five years after menopause.2-4
Bone density loss is not just associated with calcium deficiency, but also with an insufficient intake of a host of other nutrients5-12 including magnesium11,12 and vitamin D3.13,14 In order for calcium to help maintain healthy bones, adequate amounts of vitamin D3, zinc,15,16 magnesium,17 manganese,9 and other nutrients should be available so that calcium and phosphorus can be incorporated into the bone matrix. Additionally, many forms of calcium are not particularly well absorbed.18-20
While loss of bone mineral density is more commonly experienced by women, aging men can also have this issue.21 Both men and women may experience significant deficits of magnesium if they do not supplement. Bone Restore now contains 300 mg of magnesium. Magnesium is not only needed to maintain strong bones, but it is critical to promoting a healthy vascular system.22,23 In fact, magnesium is critical for facilitating hundreds of enzymatic reactions that our bodies require to maintain optimal health.24,25
To overcome the impediments that preclude aging adults from achieving optimal calcium status, Life Extension offers a proprietary comprehensive mineral formula called Bone Restore which has been designed to support healthy bone density and strength. Bone Restore provides 700 milligrams of elemental calcium from three different forms, along with the critically important nutrients magnesium,17 boron,5,26,27 zinc,8,15,16 silicon,28-30 manganese9 and vitamin D313,14 needed for healthy bones.
In fact, the boron in this formula, called FruiteX B® OsteoBoron®, is a calcium/carbohydrate/boron complex, similar to what is found in fruits and vegetables and is more bioavailable than boron citrate. Scientific research has established the beneficial effects of boron on the strength of bones and joints.5,31-34
One reason why aging people experience bone mineral density loss even though they are taking calcium supplements is that they may not be absorbing enough elemental calcium. Bone Restore provides calcium in capsule form to ensure that it breaks down fully in the digestive tract.
Calcium and other minerals are best not taken with fiber, because fiber can interfere with their absorption.35-37 There is evidence that calcium from supplements and dairy foods may inhibit iron absorption, although it has been very difficult to distinguish between the effects of calcium on iron absorption versus other inhibitory factors, such as phytate.38-40 Although current understanding of this suggests that the inhibition of calcium on absorption of iron is of short duration and the body has adaptive mechanisms.41
Calcium supplements are best taken with meals. They should always be taken with a full glass of water, juice, or other liquid to enhance solubility.42 If calcium-containing formulas are taken only once daily, they may be best taken in the evening.43
An abundance of human clinical data reveals that vitamin K plays a critical role in maintaining healthy bone density by facilitating the transport of calcium from the bloodstream into the bone.44-48 Poor vitamin K status also results in increased circulating levels of undercarboxylated osteocalcin that is shown to be associated with increased bone loss in postmenopausal women.49,50
Vitamin K2 (menaquinones) is found in meat, eggs, and dairy products and is also made by bacteria in the human gut, which provides a certain amount of the human vitamin K requirement.51 Human studies show that vitamin K2 is up to ten times more bioavailable than K1. Vitamin K2 remains biologically active in the body far longer than K1.
In recent years, two forms of vitamin K2 have been extensively researched and the findings reveal vastly improved effects compared to K1. The MK-7 form of K2 remains bioavailable to the human body over a sustained 24-hour period and to higher levels (seven- to eightfold) during prolonged intake.48
So it's not surprising that Bone Restore is now available with vitamin K2 (MK-7) for those not getting their vitamin K from Super Booster or Super K.

About Me Health Conscious
Comments about Life Extension Bone Restore with Vitamin K2, 120 capsules:
After a less than desirable bone scan I started taking LE Bone Restore with K2 on a daily basis using the guidelines on the bottle. Now after my last bone scan which was about 6-7 months after the first one it showed I was a bit above normal according to the WHO recommendations.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Bone Restore did exactly that!
By usanbobana

I started using this after a bone scan showed decreased bone density. The following year my DEXA scan was back to normal with good numbers - and no Rx drugs needed.

I use Bone Restore every day, but do not always take the full daily dose of 5 capsules. I use LEF products extensively and trust them. I often recommend LEF products to family, friends, and anyone who is interested in learning how to support their health.

I've been taking these for years, and my bi-yearly bone scans have been better than expected considering my family history. I appreciate that LE is always improving products.

Concerned parents gathered at Davidson Middle School Sunday night, as students prepared to return to school, following the death of a classmate.
13 year-old Tyler Nichols tragically took his own life with a gun Thursday morning, while inside the school.
The school held a meeting exclusively for parents Sunday night, informing what school would be like Monday when students return to class.
"We have four days of school this week, and then we go into spring break," said Southgate Schools Superintendent William Grusecki. "We just need to get through this (week), and then that week off will help everyone heal a little bit, too."
Many students spend their Sunday at the Molnar Funeral Home in Southgate for Tyler's visitation.
At one point, nearly 50 friends waited outside for a chance to pay their respects to Tyler and his family.
Monday will be the first day back to school for the students, after Nichols shot himself in a school bathroom last Thursday.
We're told grief counselors will be on hand to provide emotional support for both students and faculty. The district also has substitutes in place if any teacher feels too emotionally overwhelmed to work.
Students will also be greeted with more security Monday morning. Administrators told Fox 2 they intend on making school feel as normal as possible, but in the meantime certain security precautions will be necessary.
Student backpacks will be checked when they arrive on school property.
"We just want to assure our parents that their kids are going to be fine," Grusecki said. "We encourage them to talk to their kids, talk to them all the time. If they see their kid's mood changing or if their spirit's down, they need to talk to them."

This is the first in a two-part series on what lawyers should consider when they deliver their closing arguments next week. As someone who has witnessed almost all of the trial, I am the closest the lawyers can get to a jury. And, as a reporter, I am trained to focus exclusively on the facts - just as the jurors have been ordered to do.
For the sake of argument, each installment will come from the perspective of the arguing party. Today's installment comes from the perspective of the prosecutors, who will give their closing argument first. Tomorrow's installment will come from the perspective of the defense, who will offer their arguments on Tuesday and Wednesday. -- ML
Prosecutors Need to Make Jurors Understand that THEY Are the Real Victim.
It's not sadism so much as human nature that makes everyone chuckle when they see someone step on a banana peel -- everyone, that is, but the poor schmo who took the unfortunate step.
Beyond a recitation of the facts and how they line up against the law, prosecutors need to convey to jurors that even if they didn't live in Detroit during Kwame Kilpatrick's Reign of Error, they aren't among the giggling practitioners of Schadenfreude -- they're the ones who wiped out.
This isn't some high-minded philosophical point, as in "an injury to one is an injury to all" or "as Detroit goes, so goes the region" -- even though Detroit's problems are like that fart in an elevator that you can't escape as you make your way to the penthouse.
It's a very practical point: Because of the expansive reach of the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department -- which serves about half of Michigan -- virtually every juror has footed part of the bill for Kwame Kilpatrick, Bernard Kilpatrick and Bobby Ferguson's misdeeds.
Delays and payments for work that was never done hit all of us in the pocketbook.
Hiring Ferguson even when he wasn't the lowest bidder discouraged qualified companies from bidding on jobs, increasing the cost of projects and potentially lowering the quality of the finished product. This also left fewer tax dollars available to fix other problems -- and there's no shortage of problems in Detroit.
Forcing companies to "pay-to-play" not only rewards unethical and weak-willed business owners, it means they come to view corrupt public officials as their true clients, and not the people who live, work and visit the city in which they're working.
Simply put, prosecutors need to take a lesson from my friend and former colleague Rod Meloni, who says the most important person in every story is YOU.
Prosecutors need to find a way to say: "Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, YOU were the victims. YOU paid the price. YOU need to put an end to this."
This also provides an important counter-punch to one of the defense's most powerful arguments -- that the fat cats who testified they were shaken down can't possibly be victims because they still made millions on city deals.
I found it very hard to feel sorry for any of them. In fact, I felt cheated that THEY weren't on trial, too.
Assuming they told the truth when they said they didn't like getting their arms twisted, they sure got with the program fast! And while they testified that they contacted everyone they could think of to help figure out why they were getting iced out of deals, they never called the authorities who might have done something about it that didn't involve breaking the law.
That said, prosecutors need to acknowledge the government's OWN shortcomings. Specifically, they're slow. REALLY slow. It's tough to expect a business owner to risk losing a contract, get labeled as a trouble-maker and then wait years to see if the feds will bring charges -- with no guarantee there will be a speedy trial or a conviction.
(The slowness is not all the feds' fault; making a strong case takes time and, as they've seen, juries are reluctant to return a guilty verdict without dead-nuts proof that something wasn't on the level. In the case of former Detroit City Councilman Lonnie Bates, the jury convicted him of almost everything but a count accusing him of forcing a city contractor to do free work on his house. Bates never explicitly said: "If you don't do this, I will screw you." But he accepted the free work without question, and the contractor testified that while Bates wasn't specific, he was utterly unambiguous in what he wanted.)
Still, many of us believe doing the right thing sometimes requires sacrifice. Besides, all of these business folks came to court impeccably dressed, described how fabulously well their companies are doing and stepped out of court into fancy cars that no doubt ended up parked in spacious garages at the end of ridiculously long driveways. Some were downright matter-of-fact that they wanted public officials as friends and the best way to make them friends was to give them stuff. Expensive stuff.
Prosecutors need to acknowledge that these folks are Gucci barf bags who could have been charged with bribery -- if the feds didn't need them as witnesses.
Which brings us to the people who WERE charged with crimes and cut cooperation deals to lessen their punishment.
Prosecutors must show the jury that they don't condone their actions -- or consider them heroic. They must simply say: "The sad fact of the matter is that when you're trying to get the straight dope on how a bank robbery went down, the best way is often to make a deal with the guy driving the getaway car."
In this case, they flipped Derrick Miller, a former best friend and top aide to the mayor who pleaded guilty to public corruption charges. He was arguably the government's strongest witness among the folks who copped pleas.
Do I believe Miller was sincere when he said another reason he cooperated was to make amends? Yes.
Do I think he would have tried making amends if hadn't been caught? Hell no!
Then prosecutors need to appeal to jurors' common sense. This jury is very diverse, but they all have one thing in common: They're lower- and middle-class folks who have had to work for everything they've got -- or are working in hopes of someday having something worth having.
I think it's safe to say few of them have ever spent $10,000 on a car, let alone on suits. So it's worth asking them if they've ever given their boss cash as a gift. Then ask them if they gave or received cash as a gift, what would their expectation be? A better assignment? A raise? A contract?
They also need to remind jurors what the defense promised, but never delivered:
There was no evidence Kilpatrick did any official business in Denver when he used money from his non-profit Kilpatrick Civic Fund for a tryst with his mistress.
There was no evidence that the aggregate of all the tiny strips of metal embedded in $90,000 worth of bills would set off an airport metal detector.
There was no evidence that Kilpatrick was offered, and returned, a $5,000 honorarium at his alma mater that would explain the $5,000 contribution he claimed as a tax deduction -- a contribution the feds say really came from the non-profit Kilpatrick Civic Fund.
There was no evidence anyone received training or shelter or counseling from the state grant money that went to Ferguson and Kilpatrick's wife, Carlita. (Even though the defense says such evidence exists, and they were prevented from putting it before the jury, the fact is the jury never heard it -- giving prosecutors an edge they need to take advantage of.)
While they're talking about the defense's positions, prosecutors need to put a stake through their outrageous and offensive notions that things have worked this way for years, so it's unfair to punish these men.
For starters, I never heard of these kind of things happening during Dennis Archer's 8 years as mayor. But there's no need to go into that. A simple analogy should lay bare why someone caught committing a common crime should be punished: If your home has been broken into repeatedly, but you've only caught the last guy to ransack your jewelry box, would you let him go just because all the other cats got away?
It may be tricky, but prosecutors also need to get jurors to buy into the notion that this trial has given them an opportunity to put an end to the culture of corruption in Detroit (and Michigan in general). They need to make jurors feel that their verdict will send a message: We're sick of dirty deals and corrupt officials, and we're going to do something about it. They need to take a cue from the movie "Network," and find a way tell jurors: "I want you to get up now, I want all of you to get up out of your chairs, I want you to get up right now and go to the window, open it, and stick your head out, and yell, 'We're as mad as hell, and we're not going to take this anymore! Things are going to change!' "
Which brings us to my final point: The prosecution needs to show some emotion.
Their resumes are just as impressive as the defense team's, but they too often seem like they're treating this case as an academic exercise. They are polite to a fault, sometimes seeming bloodless.
They need to remember that the ability to stir passions, to connect with the masses, is why the quarterback almost always beats the president of the chess club in high school elections.
If prosecutors truly believe that Kilpatrick, his father and his best bud pillaged the impoverished city they pretended to champion, they need to work some of that outrage into their final performance for the jury.
If not, they run the risk that jurors who invested 5 months of their lives in these matters may feel like the feds -- who invested nearly 10 YEARS -- don't care.
And if they sense that the feds don't care, there's a chance they won't, either.

Found a great article today about the 10 healthiest beer for summer. The writer points out moderate beer drinking can lower the risk of heart disease, and hypertension because beer contains phenol. Ales which typically have one of the highest phenol concentrations. They pack more heart-protecting powers than other beer varieties
Butte Creek Organic India Pale Ale
I have tried 3 beer on this list.
Yuengling light lager is fantastic on a really hot day.
Guinness is great almost anytime, but for me tastes best in the winter.
Sam Adam's is good (for a lager) but really not great. (If I were a lager fan I may rate this higher)
Sierra Nevada pale is one of my all time favorite beers.
So I have 7 more to try. Drink to your health. What beer do you look forward to drinking in this summer?

Celebrity chef Nigella Lawson adds a bit of sexiness to her cooking. It's a style all her own and one that could help make your Valentine's Day meal extra special. She shared her favorite recipe to share with your honey.
Vanilla Mousse with Berries and Pistachios
By Nigella Lawson
Serves 6
I dare say that having a tricolor e dessert is not terribly original, when it comes to compiling a book of Italian recipes, but I just couldn't help myself. Besides, the sharpness of the berries and the aromatic rubble of pistachios provide contrast—of taste and texture—with the light, vanilla-flecked mousse. I say mousse, but this is a simple affair, consisting of no more than whisked egg whites, folded into heavy cream whipped with sugar and the seeds from a vanilla bean. To get the seeds out of the bean, I use the point of a small, sharp knife to make a lengthways incision all along the middle of the bean, and then use the point of the knife again to scoop and scrape all the damp black seeds out. And, if I can do that with what my TV director calls my "borderline dyspraxia", anyone can. Don't throw away the bean, by the way, but rinse and dry it later to put in a jar of sugar to flavor it for baking.
If you want to top these vanilla mousses with a fine dust of pistachio, then you'll need a coffee grinder; otherwise, chop the nuts finely by hand, and you'll probably need the extra spoonful for total coverage. As for the berries that go underneath, to keep to the tricolore theme, I like to use 50/50 raspberries (left whole) and strawberries (chopped to match the size of the raspberries) but, otherwise, a mixture of any berries that come your way would be fine and dandy.
I have so many recipes, as you may have noted, where I use only the egg whites that, these days, I make sure my refrigerator is always stocked with a pasteurized carton of them. In fact, I've got so used to this, I don't even find it strange that they do come in a carton. (And see Note to the Reader on p.xiii on using uncooked eggs.)
2 free-range organic or pasteurized egg whites
1 1⁄4 cups heavy cream
1⁄2 cup superfine sugar
seeds from 1 vanilla bean
8 ounces raspberries
8 ounces strawberries, chopped
1–2 tablespoons chopped shelled unsalted pistachio nuts
6 approx. 2⁄3 cup glasses
Whisk the egg whites in a clean, grease-free bowl until they form soft peaks.
Pour the cream into another bowl, add the sugar and vanilla seeds, and whisk until this mixture, too, forms soft peaks. Fold the whisked egg whites gently into the vanilla cream to make your mousse.
Divide the berries among 6 glasses until just under half-full and dollop the vanilla mousse on top, until every glass is softly peaked.
Chill them in the fridge for 15 to 30 minutes. On serving, dust the tops with the ground or finely chopped pistachios.
Pasta with Zucchini
By Nigella Lawson
Serves 2
This is one of my favorite pastas, but I must start with a warning: it isn't as easy on the eye as on the palate; this is a dish made for pleasure not a photo op. In order for the zucchini to acquire the sweet, braised flavor they imbue the pasta with here, they are cooked to a squashy khaki.
This is how I prepare the zucchini: before dicing them, I peel away strips of skin, which gives them a striped look, see the photo on p.22. This habit is a maternal legacy that I don't expect you to inherit, too. So peel or don't peel, wholly or in stripes, as you see fit. I like casarecce pasta, which for all that it means "homemade," is produced by most good pasta manufacturers and indeed is so common that I find it at my local supermarket.
Casarecce are small, loosely rolled tubes with a gap—where the roll doesn't quite meet up along the side—which catches every bit of flavorsome sauce. The more colorfully named strozzapreti ("priest-stranglers") work in much the same way. Please don't be put off making this should either of these shapes elude you. My Italian friends blithely suggest, as an alternative, either penne or farfalle.
8 ounces casarecce pasta
Salt for pasta water, to taste
2 tablespoons garlic-flavored oil
4 scallions, thinly sliced
1 pound zucchini (preferably organic), finely diced
1⁄4 cup dry white wine or vermouth
Small bunch fresh parsley, chopped
3 tablespoons grated
Parmesan, plus more (optional) for sprinkling
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 teaspoons unsalted butter
Put a pot of water on for the pasta, salting generously (or to taste) when it comes to a boil, then add the casarecce—cooking as per package instructions, though tasting a couple of minutes before they're meant to be ready—and get on with the sauce.
Put the garlic-flavored oil and chopped scallions in a heavy-based pan (that comes with a lid) on medium heat and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
Add the diced zucchini and cook for 5 minutes, stirring every now and again. Add the wine or vermouth, letting it bubble up, followed by 2 tablespoons of the chopped parsley, salt to taste, then lower the heat, cover with the lid, and cook for a further 5 minutes, by which time the zucchini should be gorgeously tender.
Before draining the pasta, remove a cupful of starchy cooking water.
Tip the drained pasta back into its pot, add the braised zucchini, or add the pasta to the pan of zucchini, along with 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan, and 1⁄4 cup of pasta-cooking liquid.
Combine thoroughly and taste to see if you wish to add more cheese or salt or pepper or, indeed, cooking liquid, then stir in the butter and most of the remaining parsley and divide between 2 warmed bowls, sprinkling with the rest of the parsley, and more Parmesan if wished, on serving.

How do students learn? There are many concepts that look at this question, and the visual above in one way to view this.
To the left you have a box that shows that students take in content by reading, writing, listening and experiencing, and that to comprehend and interpret content they must have prior knowledge, make observations, identify main and supporting ideas and gather evidence.
In the midle section the student has to take the input and use critical thinking skills. To do this they must also be engaged in and committed to the learning process.
And the final section looks at their output, how does the student show what they have learned.
In all phases technology may play a role.
