True, but I can say that with any language. Once you have the basics of programming under your belt, it's all just about syntax.
I have a good experience of C , C++ (In Depth ) and JAVA. C and C++ are good to learn in the beginning as it is a base of coding and once you are done with C/C++ completely ... You can learn basics of most of the languages like JAVA , C# etc in approx 2 days.
Leo, if you want to learn a powerful yet extremely easy language, you should try Just Basic. And for web development, Run Basic. Just Basic is written in Small Talk and is completely free. Afterwards, you can try Liberty Basic for a minimal price.
I have coded in a variant of BASIC, Java, and Python. I'm only at the beginner level at all three however. When I have the free time, I usually code in Python due to it's simple syntax structure.
Microsoft Small Basic.
I code in HTML, XTML, SB, JSP, and CSS.
Greed and power makes more decisions than clever reasoning.
That's nice but unfortunately I don't known enough about Tesla
But then why "Top Secret"?
The military only thinks in terms of weapons. But the ideas can be used for many things, health, propulsion, power supply...
They will only touch upon a minuscule portion of his intellect and still he will rate way ahead of his time.
The colour purple is often associated to royalty and the luxury they live in.
"Top Secret"
They are both dead so his exact meaning is gone forever. But let me add that every school kid knows about Einsteins theory of relativity. Much of Tesla's work on the other hand is top secret in this country. Even 100 years after he did it!
Does he under-estimate the theory?
I think he is saying a beggar clothed in fine clothes that fools mistake for a king.

In the United States, approximately 850,000 registered nurses are expected to retire by the year 2020, according to Peter I. Buerhaus, Ph.D., registered nurse. Because of the shortage, nursing is a fast-growing occupation in the U.S., with the need for nurses outstripping supply.
In order to address the gap between nursing supply and demand, and encourage young people to join this dynamic and caring career, it is essential to have programs that support the role of nurses and the nursing profession. The Johnson & Johnson Campaign for Nursing's Future is a decade-long effort to support the profession, recruit and retain nurses, and strengthen the nursing community.
The Johnson & Johnson Campaign for Nursing's Future recently launched "Amazing Nurses 2013," its third annual Amazing Nurses program. With this effort, the Campaign for Nursing's Future publicly recognizes and celebrates the essential role that nurses play in patient care and the health care field. "Amazing Nurses 2013" gives patients, their families and communities the opportunity to nominate and vote on individual nurses and view their stories of dedication to healing.
"Our support for the nursing profession begins with aspiring nurses and continues throughout their professional career," says Andrea Higham, director of The Johnson & Johnson Campaign for Nursing's Future. "'Amazing Nurses 2013,' our national recognition program, is one of the many ways we honor nurses across America who work tirelessly to care for their patients and their families. Every year, we're inspired by new stories about amazing nurses who impact countless lives with their skill and compassion."
The Johnson & Johnson Campaign for Nursing's Future, launched in 2002, is a national initiative to enhance the image of the nursing profession, recruit new nurses and nurse faculty and help retain nurses currently in the profession. For more than a decade, the Campaign for Nursing's Future has worked in cooperation with professional nursing organizations, schools, hospitals and other health care groups to promote opportunities in nursing and increase awareness of the value of the nursing profession. "Amazing Nurses 2013" extends these efforts by encouraging families, patients and communities to appreciate and recognize individual nurses.
Nominate an amazing nurse today. Nurses take care of and heal so many of us – now let your amazing nurse know how much you care, by going to www.facebook.com/jnjnursingnotes or www.amazingnurses.com and completing the nomination form. "Amazing Nurses 2013" can also be followed on Twitter at @JNJNursingNotes and #AmazingNurses.

No. 31: U.C.F.
By Paul Myerberg // Aug 3, 2011
Way to buck the mathematical trend, George O'Leary. You've heard it before: O'Leary wins in odd-numbered years and loses – or used to – in even-numbered years. Heading into last fall, the former Georgia Tech coach was 54-33 in the former and 32-41 in the latter; after last fall's 11-3 finish in Orlando, O'Leary is 43-44 in even-numbered seasons. So that little tidbit, one used to great effect in 2008, 2009 and 2010, is no longer. Though perhaps I can recycle it for one more year, 2011, and hope the mathematical universe realigns. It will in one sense: these Knights are going to win. But that's still par for the course for O'Leary in years ending in 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 — unless we can no longer rely on our long-standing mathematical trends.

Last year's prediction
So much depends on the development of Calabrese under center: his ascension to the starting role does not instill me with confidence, though the junior has the experience, ability and potential to far exceed any expectations. If Calabrese is a success, U.C.F. can win the Conference USA championship. These Knights topped Houston a year ago, and the U.C.F. defense will be even more stout in 2010. I'm not going to say the sky is the limit, as this offense — regardless of the success it had down the stretch last fall — will prevent the Knights from cracking the Top 25, for instance. Yet this is the best team in the East division, ahead of Southern Mississippi, and should advance to the Conference USA title game. With this defense, anything is possible when U.C.F. gets to that point.
2010 recap
In a nutshell Three losses, each by 10 points or less. There was N.C. State, 28-21, a game U.C.F. gave away with five turnovers. There was a 17-13 loss at Kansas State, a game the Knights pretty much dominated: yardage, time of possession, the line of scrimmage, what have you. Then there was a loss at home to Southern Mississippi, a loss that hurt but really didn't mean much in the big picture. It was all roses outside of that trio: 11 wins, a new program record and a new high-water mark for a program quickly rising to the top of Conference USA. These Knights did it on the defensive side of the ball, finishing first in the conference and 15th in the F.B.S. in total defense and tying for eighth nationally in scoring. These Knights also got it done offensively, particularly on the ground. And better yet, this was a team that took on the weighty expectations and didn't disappoint, taking care of business against the weaker teams on the schedule and suffering no lulls, minus that loss to the Golden Eagles. This was a great team.
High point It wasn't a vintage Georgia team, but that U.C.F. took out such a marquee program during bowl play marked another step forward for the Knights. That's a win for the media guide, as was a conference title game victory over S.M.U., one the Knights took over on the defensive side of the ball.
Low point Each of the three losses hurt in their own specific way, but I suppose the low point was a home loss to Southern Mississippi, U.C.F.'s lone conference defeat of the season. For one day, the defense didn't deliver.
Tidbit And so ends the trend. From 1994, his first season at Georgia Tech, through 2009, George O'Leary went 32-41 in even-numbered years and 54-33 in odd-numbered years. So goes this lovely tidbit, which I unearthed on a lark three years ago and was dreadfully proud of in the years since. Now, as noted in the opening, O'Leary is 43-44 in even-numbered years. This is sad. O'Leary has yet to suffer a losing season in an odd year, while last year's record gives him three seasons with more than five wins in an even year. Just with the Knights, O'Leary has won at least eight games in each odd-numbered year (2005, 2007, 2009), while combining to win 19 games altogether in his four even-numbered years. This tidbit isn't as fun as it used to be.
Tidbit (defense edition) U.C.F. has now led Conference USA in rush defense for three straight years. Last year's defense held opponents to 108.4 yards per game, a slightly worse total than in 2009, but allowed only nine scores on the ground, tied for sixth-fewest in the nation. In all, U.C.F. led Conference USA in rush defense, scoring defense (17.1 points per game), sacks (32), tackles for loss (88) and first downs allowed (17.4 per game) and finished second in pass defense (207.0 yards per game), interceptions (17) and forced fumbles (15). This defense was filthy.
Tidbit (recruiting edition) So if we discount T.C.U. and Utah, two programs soon to make the jump up the conference ladder, U.C.F. had the highest-ranked recruiting class by any non-B.C.S. conference program, according to Rivals.com. The Knights pulled in the nation's 39th-best class, two spots behind the Utes and one slot ahead of Wisconsin. Other marquee programs with lower-ranked classes: Georgia Tech, Mississippi State, U.C.L.A., Missouri and West Virginia.

George O'Leary (New Hampshire '69), 45-44 after seven seasons at Central Florida. Most famously, O'Leary compiled a 52-33 record at Georgia Tech from 1994-2001. O'Leary was named the Bobby Dodd National Coach of the Year in 2000, when the Yellow Jackets finished 9-3, second in the A.C.C. He was also a two-time A.C.C. Coach of the Year (1998 and 2000). O'Leary's college coaching career began at Syracuse, where he coached the defensive line for seven seasons (1980-86). He then went to Tech, where he served as Bobby Ross's defensive coordinator from 1987-91; the Yellow Jackets won the 1990 national championship. After following Ross to the San Diego Chargers (defensive line coach from 1992-93), O'Leary returned to Georgia Tech as coordinator in 1994, when he took over for the fired Tim Lewis with three games remaining on a 1-10 season. Of course, O'Leary's post-Georgia Tech career was tarnished by the controversy surrounding his brief tenure as the head coach at Notre Dame, which ended after one week after the university discovered a number of inaccuracies in his resume. After two years with the Minnesota Vikings (2002 as line coach, 2003 as coordinator), O'Leary was tabbed at Central Florida. It's been a relatively up-and-down stretch, though last year's finish snapped O'Leary's penchant for even-numbered failures, as noted. The Knights rebounded from an 0-11 initial campaign in 2004 to finish 8-5 in 2005, the biggest turnaround in the F.B.S. that season, but posted twin 4-8 marks in 2006 and 2008 surrounding their conference championship-winning team in 2007. After winning 19 games over the last two seasons, it seems that O'Leary has done enough on the field to take him off the hot seat. What has occurred off the field may end up being his downfall, however.
Players to watch
Jeff Godfrey remained a backup for about six quarters; by the time U.C.F. nearly completed a comeback win over N.C. State on the second Saturday of the season, the job was his. He began the year behind Rob Calabrese, now a senior, with the thought that Godfrey would be far too unpolished to serve as U.C.F.'s starter. So much for all that: Godfrey remains far from a finished product, but on athleticism alone he proved to be one of Conference USA's best — as a freshman, mind you. On the year, Godfrey threw for 2,159 yards and 14 scores while completing 66.8 percent of his attempts in a simplified offensive attack designed to boost the true freshman's confidence.
He still has a ways to go as a passer, but you can't teach Godfrey's ability to make plays with his legs: 566 yards rushing and 10 scores, both U.C.F. quarterback records. There were some bouts with inconsistency, befitting his age. His first real test was a dud: 8 of 18 for 92 yards and a pair of interceptions in a loss to Kansas State to end September. Godfrey tossed another pair of picks in the loss to Southern Mississippi roughly two months later, which does say something about how vital he was to this team's success offensively. The only thing holding Godfrey back is a lack of presence in the pocket, which he was never forced to develop thanks to his outstanding athletic ability. Once he grows more comfortable dropping back to pass, the sky is the limit. U.C.F. has an answer at quarterback — finally.
There may not be a better backfield in the country. I'm serious: in terms of proven production, U.C.F. can tout a quartet of dangerous runners, including Godfrey, perhaps unmatched by anyone else. Really, I'm serious. Three players who rushed for at least 500 yards and 10 touchdowns last fall are back in the fold: Godfrey, senior Ronnie Weaver (890 yards, 11 scores) and junior Latavius Murray (637 yards, 11 scores). That alone pushes U.C.F. into the upper echelon of the F.B.S., perhaps not in talent but surely in terms of production. Then you add Brynn Harvey, an all-conference pick in 2009 (1,109 yards, 14 scores) who missed last season with an A.C.L. tear. I love this team's mentality, which begins and ends with controlling the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. Offensively, U.C.F. is going to run all over the rest of Conference USA. The only question is whether one back steps forward to earn the majority of the touches or whether the Knights continue to share the rock.
The offensive line reshuffles a bit without tackles Abre Leggins and Jah Reid, with the latter an all-Conference USA pick as a senior. The Knights will move senior Nick Pieschel, an honorable mention all-conference selection in 2010, over to right tackle to replace Reid. Sophomore Chris Martin, a very promising young lineman, takes over for Leggins on the blind side after starting three games last fall, including the bowl win over Georgia. The game of dominoes continues with Theo Goins' move from left to right guard; senior Cliff McCray's 25 career starts makes him a solid pick to step in for Goins on the left side, though he'll be pushed by his younger brother, Jordan. That leaves center, where nothing has changed: junior Jordan Rae, a former defensive tackle, started 13 games in the middle of the line last fall. The Knights return five players with starting experience and 10 linemen altogether, so there's no reason to think the running game won't continue to roll along.
The defense won't be as good as it was a year ago. It will be only slightly worse, however: still Conference USA's best, but it'll be hard to be equally imposing with a few new faces along the front seven. In short, U.C.F. will go from awesome to simply great — a slim drop which won't prevent the Knights from taking home the East division but one that might lead to a slight decline in production on the defensive side of the ball. I'll hedge my bets, however, by saying that this defense does have the pieces to remain one of the nation's best, especially in the secondary. If the front four can seamlessly insert former reserves into full-time starting roles the defense may not suffer anything more than a brief hiccup, in fact.
That I'm unwilling to take a stand reflects poorly on me, and I admit that. But you can see both sides: on one hand, you find U.C.F. without three of last year's starting linemen; on the other, you see a group loaded with linemen with tremendous experience and production, albeit in a secondary role. This is especially so at end, where the Knights return Troy Davis (26 tackles, 5.5 sacks) and Darius Nall (31 tackles, 8.5 sacks), two dominant backups to Bruce Miller and David Williams a year ago. They'll inhabit larger roles in 2011, obviously, but look out for JUCO transfer Toby Jackson, who took on a starting role over the summer while Nall was away from the team for personal reasons.
Sophomore tackle Victor Gray (33 tackles, 7 for loss) is the lone holdover from last year's starting foursome. While completely overshadowed by not just his three running mates in the starting lineup but also the two reserve ends, Gray put together a very strong rookie season. He'll be counted for even more in 2011 and beyond, joining two other sophomores in making up the interior of U.C.F.'s line. One is E.J. Dunston, a part-time starter last fall who steps in for Wes Tunuufi Sauvao. Dunston's a run-stuffer first and foremost, but he did show an ability to get into the backfield over a smaller sample size as a freshman. Looking for more size? Check out sophomore Jose Jose, who has a breathtaking name and, at 6'3, 371 pounds, the need for a bigger belt.
The Knights don't lack for talent at linebacker. And yes, there's a nice senior leader in the middle with Josh Linman (78 tackles, 9 for loss). But there isn't much experience on the outside, which is a concern as U.C.F. attempts to replace a pair of underrated assets in Lawrence Young and Derrick Hallman. The most experienced alternative is junior Loren Robinson, who played in 10 games a year ago. That slight game experience is enough to give Robinson a leg up on the weak side, but he'll have to produce in order to remain the starter. That's because U.C.F. added a JUCO transfer in Ray Cottman and moved running back Jonathan Davis to the defensive side of the ball, and you don't make those moves unless you have designs on both seeing the field. Davis certainly has the skills to step right into a major role. Junior Ray Shipman, a former basketball player at Florida, enters the fall slightly ahead of another JUCO transfer, Terran Buck, on the strong side.
Two starters were lost in the secondary. It's a good thing, therefore, that the two returning starters are among the best in Conference USA. One who certainly is in the upper echelon of defensive backs is junior cornerback Josh Robinson (59 tackles, 2 picks), who combines rock-solid cover ability with a nose for the football. He'll team with junior free safety Kemal Ishmael (team-best 93 tackles) to form a dynamite backfield twosome. A.J. Bouye (26 tackles, 1 interception) is an easy pick as Robinson's running mate at cornerback, with sophomore Jordan Ozerities a nice, young, promising first man off the bench. That U.C.F. will probably go with a redshirt freshman, Clayton Geathers, at strong safety is a bit troubling but not a huge issue. Ishmael will provide some guidance to Geathers, and he won't be asked to be a huge presence in the passing game, where many young strong safeties struggle.
Position battle(s) to watch
Wide receiver The Knights must replace last year's three leading receivers — Brian Watters, Jamar Newsome and Kamar Aiken — which is cause for concern. You won't find a receiver on this roster more experienced than senior A.J. Guyton (28 receptions for 353 yards), so look for him to be a major target in this passing game. What Guyton lacks is big-play ability, though he did pull down a 44-yard grab in last season's win over Houston. U.C.F. hopes that return specialist Quincy McDuffie, a junior, can provide a spark: one of the nation's best on kickoff returns, McDuffie showed some promise in a 13-grab, 144-yard 2010 campaign. If one U.C.F. skill player is going to break out it'll be McDuffie, who has all the speed and ability to make plays in space but remains largely unproven as a receiver. It's not a great thing to see that Guyton and McDuffie are the only two returning Knights to have made more than six receptions in 2010. So it's on a batch of young targets, like Khymest and Marquee Williams — no relation — and redshirt freshmen J.J. Worton and Josh Reese to prevent the lack of proven depth from becoming a season-long liability. Remember Rob Calabrese, last year's starting quarterback for a game and change? His days under center are over, with the senior moving out to receiver for his final season. Calabrese has size, but it's rare that a senior makes such a drastic position change and makes an impact. The Knights also have several experienced ends but don't call on Adam Nissley, D.J. Brown or Brendan Kelly all that much in the passing game. Kelly, the team's H-back, will carry the ball on occasion.
Game(s) to watch
The Knights need to make a statement against Boston College and B.Y.U., beating at least one to justify the high expectations surrounding this team. Beating bad teams in Conference USA is one thing; wins over premier non-conference opposition would raise the program's prestige another notch. If one team is going to overtake U.C.F. atop the East division it'll be Southern Mississippi, which gets the Knights at home.
Season breakdown & prediction
In a nutshell U.C.F. is loaded for another conference title run. There's very little standing in this team's way on the field, but I'd be remiss if I didn't at least wonder if the wrongful death suit that defined the program's summer will hang over the Knights in the fall. I really don't think it will, since all is forgotten once a team steps between the white lines; still, it's something to consider. But that's not the reason why I had U.C.F. at No. 20 after last season and have the Knights at No. 31 heading into 2011. Quite simply, it's going to be hard for U.C.F. to win another 11 games, thanks to a slightly tougher schedule and a few personnel concerns. You can't control the former, and U.C.F. should actually embrace the tougher slate that awaits come September — embracing shots at Boston College and B.Y.U., among a few others. As for the latter, the Knights do have some concerns at receiver and along the front seven, especially at linebacker. I'm not overly worried about the defensive line, especially if the two returning ends continue their production — if not improve upon it — as full-time starters. But the departed linebackers were a vital piece of the defense last fall, and the Knights don't have optimal experience returning on the outside. To be honest, this is me nitpicking. U.C.F. has loads of talent, a great young quarterback, an experienced coaching staff and solid depth nearly throughout: receiver, strong safety and outside linebacker notwithstanding. The Knights are really good — like second-best in Conference USA good, just behind Houston. Nine wins should be attainable even with a pair of tough non-conference games and road games against S.M.U. and Southern Mississippi.
Dream season B.C.S. buster: 12-0 in the regular season, U.C.F. knocks off Houston in the Conference USA title game to earn a trip to a B.C.S. bowl.
Nightmare season With this team and schedule, seven wins would be a supreme disappointment.

Extremely difficult clue. It could be Air Force, Miami, Penn State, Utah, Missouri, West Virginia, Houston, or Mississippi State as all of those teams will be coming up soon.
after much research, my guess is USF.
Florida? I did some research. Nickname for Mike Greenwell, an outfielder for the Red Sox, is "The Gator."
Okay, I give up. The only thing I could come up with is the guy who is 10th on the Detriot Tiger's all time hit list, Mickey Cochrane. He was known as "Black Mike" and LSU's mascot is Mike the Tiger, so my guess would be LSU, but this seems too low for them – especially since Gary Crowton is gone.
By the way, like those before me I spent way too long on this one. Way to keep us on our toes, Paul.
After some additional checking I think John is right. Mike Greenwell is 10th on the Red Sox's all time hits list and this spot fits the Gators much better than LSU.
I'm going with Florida, too, but I loved this clue! Much better than the Department of Water/Sanitation/Whatever clue a few days ago.
If it is my Gators, I can't complain too much. Teams always struggle the year after a coaching change, even if the new coach has a name like Saban or Stoops or Carroll or even Meyer. It's also a young team. Expect the Gators to win 1-2 they shouldn't, lose 1-2 they shouldn't, make a decent bowl and try and lay a foundation for 2012.
oh you guys are definitely right. I was looking at the wrong column on baseballreference.com. Their information is literally too thorough. its just jam packed.
after much research, my guess is that USF blows and was ranked too high when they were already picked at 39
So with UCF, you already have Georgia ahead of 3 teams that they lost to last year, as well as at least 4 Pac-12 teams that are far superior to them. You need to recalibrate your East Coast Bias, sir.
Great piece on UCF. This is my first time here and I will surely come back as I can easily see that you did some solid research on my Knights. I agreed with probably 90% of what you said which is more than I can say for most journalists who cover UCF on the regular.
Very nice write-up…appears you've done your homework.

People with Diabetes Are Unaware of RisksPosted: Sunday, December 06, 2009
Despite the large number of cases of diabetes diagnosed in the United States, many Americans still lack basic knowledge about the disease. Less then 50% of those diagnosed with diabetes know that diabetes is a risk factor for heart disease, the leading cause of death in the U.S.
The incidence of Type 2 diabetes has increased significantly over the last two decades, affecting both women and men alike. Obesity, often the result of unhealthy diets and lack of exercise, is a major contributor to the development of Type 2 diabetes.
A new survey from the American Diabetes Association asked participants to rank which disease -- diabetes, breast cancer or AIDS -- was responsible for the largest number of deaths annually. Surprisingly, less than half chose diabetes. Type 2 diabetes has long been implicated as a risk factor in the development of heart disease, the leading cause of death in women and men in our country.
In the U.S. complications from diabetes claim more lives every year than breast cancer and AIDS combined, according to the survey results, roughly 2 in 5 people or 42 percent chose diabetes. The remaining 58 percent had no idea diabetes could result in death.
Sue McLaughlin, RD, CDE, President, Health Care & Education, American Diabetes Association, in a media alert stated that, "Many Americans have a very limited understanding of the basic facts about diabetes, as well as the serious consequences for health that accompany the disease." She blames the problem on a combination of factors including denial of the disease and promotion of inaccurate information or myths surrounding diabetes.
According to McLaughlin, another reason many people are unaware of their risk is a "lack of resources to access education that would enable them to learn more about the disease, and take an active role in managing it."
According to Alfred Padilla, MD, an endocrinologist at Greenwich Hospital in Greenwich, CT, the role of health care providers cannot be ignored. "The main culprits for failing grades are the doctors.... With managed care, docs have very little time to interact with patients," he says, and as a result, "this gives rise to what I call the '200 club' (weight 200 lbs, fasting glucose 200, LDL 200).... Patients are being told that they are fine, when in actuality they may be at risk."
Risk factors for Type 2 diabetes include: a sedentary lifestyle, being overweight or obese, a family history of the disease and a personal history of gestational diabetes (for women.) "Risk factors multiply," says Padilla and as physicians, "we need to pay meticulous attention to lipids, blood pressure and lifestyle issues, which are probably more ignored than glucose."
Diabetes results from the body's inability to produce or respond to insulin, a hormone necessary for the absorption of sugar. There are several types of diabetes, but no matter what type a person has, the result is: too much glucose or sugar in the bloodstream. The disease can wreak havoc on the body and result in blood vessel, heart, kidney and eye diseases. It can also shorten a person's life.
There are effective ways to lower your risk for Type 2 diabetes. Even if diabetes runs in a person's family, healthy lifestyle choices are essential:
* Diet: studies show that choosing low-fat, low-calorie, high fiber foods can help control blood sugar levels.

- Health Notes
Pumping Up? How to Pick Your Protein SupplementPumping Up? How to Pick Your Protein SupplementOur protein supplement guide will help you excel on the court, in the gym, or on the roadIf you take your workouts seriously, nutrition should be top of mind too. Protein is a great place to start, and focusing on getting the right types of protein, in the right amounts, and at the right times is key. Our protein supplement guide will help you meet your wellness goals, potentially improving your performance on the court, in the gym, or on the road.
What type?
Whey protein is quick to digest and provides all of the protein building blocks - the amino acids. Our bodies cannot make some amino acids, and whey is ideal for meeting essential amino acid needs. Whey also supplies branched-chain amino acids (BCAA), and some research supports that they aid muscle recovery after hard workouts.
Compared with whey, casein is slower to digest, and results in a lower, yet more prolonged rise in blood amino acid levels, which may provide a particular advantage for body builders. At least one study supports that casein outshines whey in terms of promoting strength and lean body mass gains in people following a structured weight-training plan.
Rice protein is less likely to create allergic reactions than other proteins, and it comes from a plant, making it appropriate for vegetarians. Another potential advantage is that rice protein contains a high proportion of arginine, an amino acid that can dilate blood vessels, possibly enhancing blood flow to muscles. Rice is not a "complete" protein however; it doesn't supply all of the essential amino acids. Some products combine rice protein with proteins from sources like soy or milk to make it complete.
Egg protein is ideal for people who are looking to build new muscle. It has a very high protein efficiency ratio (PER), which is one measure of how well our bodies can use any particular form of protein. The higher the PER, the more efficiently our bodies can use that protein when we eat it. Egg is off the charts in terms of PER. Egg protein also is a complete protein, and is a good source of essential and branched chain amino acids. Egg protein powder is made from egg whites, and comes in a convenient, pasteurized powder form.
Soy protein is a high-quality plant protein that provides all essential amino acids, making it a good option for vegetarians. For the body to best utilize soy protein, vegetarians should also eat grain or dairy within a few days. Soy protein comes in two basic forms: soy protein isolate and soy protein concentrate. Soy protein isolate is the most highly purified form, and has a minimum protein content of 90%. Soy protein concentrate contains more carbohydrates, and has a protein content of approximately 70%. Concentrates tend to cost a little less, but if you find soy protein concentrate doesn't agree with you, try isolate, which is easier for some people to digest.
How much?
With protein, as with many nutrients, more is not always better. According to Dr. Doug Paddon-Jones, Associate Professor at the University of Texas Medical Branch and Director of Exercise Studies, "30 grams of protein appears to stimulate maximum muscle synthesis. For athletes, each meal and snack is a chance to hit the 30 gram mark, giving your body several opportunities each day to maximize muscle growth and repair."
Another reason to spread protein evenly through the day is simple efficiency. "Given that your body won't use much beyond 30 grams of protein at a time, it doesn't make sense to load up with more than this," says Paddon-Jones.

- Breakfast-To support muscle building first thing in the morning, try trading traditional carb-heavy breakfast foods for more protein-rich options, such as a powder protein supplement mixed with milk and cereal.
- If you're heading into a long strength-training session-Sipping a casein-based protein supplement prior to and during your workout will give muscles sustained access to amino acids. If taken in the evening, casein can provide a steady supply of amino acids while you're sleeping.
- Immediately pre- or post-workout-Especially if your workout includes aerobic or circuit training, protein manufacturers recommend a whey protein-based liquid or powder supplement.
