Antioxidants & Stroke
Examined the effect of fruit and vegetable intake on risk of stroke among middle-aged men over 20 years of follow-up. (-The Framingham Study.)
Intake of fruits and vegetables may protect against development of stroke in men.

Community program
Community Program (Japan)
(1) To demonstrate the importance of nutrition, especially sodium restriction and increased potassium and protein intakes, in the prevention of hypertension and stroke in a pilot study involving senior citizens.
(2) To design a population-based intervention in the Shimane Prefecture of Japan concerning dietary factors such as low sodium and high potassium, protein, magnesium, calcium and dietary fibre in the prevention of stroke.

Fetal influences & Stroke
Recent findings suggest that many human fetuses have to adapt to a limited supply of nutrients and in doing so they permanently change their physiology and metabolism. These 'programmed' changes may be the origins of a number of diseases in later life, including coronary heart disease and the related disorders: stroke, diabetes and hypertension.

Folate & Stroke
Folate (1)
A serum folate concentration < or = 9.2 nmol/L has been associated with elevated levels of plasma homocyst(e)ine. Elevated homocyst(e)ine levels have been associated with ischemic stroke in case-control studies; however, the results from prospective studies have been equivocal.
Giles-WH. et al: Serum folate and risk for ischemic stroke. First National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey epidemiologic follow-up study. Stroke. 1995 Jul; 26(7): 1166-70.
Folate (2)
Folic acid, a water-soluble vitamin, has been used since the 1940s to treat some cases of macrocytic anemia without neurologic disease. Folate deficiency is best diagnosed with red blood cell folate levels along with macrocytosis and/or megaloblastic anemia.
Elevations in homocysteine levels, a metabolite intimately associated with folate, are also being found with increasing regularity in those with cardiovascular diseases. Homocysteine levels are reduced by folic acid administration. Therefore, there is some biologic plausibility that folate supplements may prevent heart disease, stroke, and peripheral arterial disease.
Controlled trials should take place before widespread food supplementation with folate is carried out on a large scale because of the possibility of outbreaks of permanent B12-related neurologic damage in those with undiagnosed pernicious anemia.
Malnutrition & Stroke
Malnutrition has received little attention in acute stroke, although it represents a risk of decreased immunity and nosocomial infections.
Malnourished patients showed higher stress reaction and increased frequency of infections and bedsores in comparison with the appropriately nourished group.
Protein-energy malnutrition after acute stroke is a risk factor for poor outcome. Early appropriate enteral caloric feeding did not prevent malnutrition during the first week of hospitalization.
Davalos-A. et al: Effect of malnutrition after acute stroke on clinical outcome. Stroke. 1996 Jun; 27(6): 1028-32.
Milk & Stroke
Evidence suggests that dietary calcium is protective against hypertension. This report examines whether the effect has an influence on thromboembolic stroke.
Men who were nondrinkers of milk experienced stroke at twice the rate of men who consumed 16 oz/d or more (7.9 versus 3.7 per 100, respectively).
Data suggest that consumption of milk in older middle age is not harmful, and when combined with a banced diet, weight control, and physical activity, reductions in the risk of stroke may occur.
Abbott-RD et al: Effect of dietary calcium and milk consumption on risk of thromboembolic stroke in older middle-aged men. The Honolulu Heart Program. Stroke. 1996 May; 27(5): 813-8.
Nutritional assessment & Stroke
Nutritional assessment
Nutritional status
Nutritional assessment
To test the prognostic role of nutritional variables as a component of geriatric multidimensional assessment and to study the effect of hospitalization on nutritional status.
Nutritional status deteriorates during the hospital stay, mostly in physically dependent patients.
Antonelli-Incalzi-R. Et al: Nutritional assessment: a primary component of multidimensional geriatric assessment in the acute care setting. J-Am-Geriatr-Soc. 1996 Feb; 44(2): 166-74.
Nutritional status
Stroke (Ischemic) initiates numerous pathophysiological processes and each of them can be dangerous.
Developed an algorithm for diagnosis of the nutritional state.
Patients were found to show a slight protein catabolism and nutritional stress (aminograms, stress index, nutritional percentage of complications, nitrogen balance, CRP, prealbumin).
Necessity of an early diagnosis of nutritional deficiency and disorders of protein metabolism in STROKE patients is discussed.
Enteral and parenteral nutrition are discussed.
Vavrouskova J et al., Nutritional status in patients with stroke. Diagnosis, therapy and its monitoring. Vnitr Lek, 42(10):669-75 1996 Oct.
Body size & Stroke
Body size & fat distribution
Evidence for an association between general obesity and risk of stroke is weak. However, abdominal obesity may be more closely related to stroke risk.
Examined the association of body mass index and abdominal obesity (waist/hip ratio) with stroke incidence in 28,643 US male health professionals, aged 40-75 years in 1986, who had no history of cardiovascular disease or stroke.
In 5 years of follow-up, there were 118 cases of stroke, of which 80 were ischemic.
Compared with men in the lowest quintile of body mass index, men in the highest quintile had an age-adjusted relative risk of stroke of 1.3.
In contrast, the age-adjusted relative risk for extreme quintiles of waist/hip ratio was 2.3.
There was a weaker relation with waist circumference alone, with men in the highest quintile (> 40.2 inches) having a relative risk of 1.52 compared with men in the lowest quintile (< or = 34.5 inches).
Results suggest that abdominal obesity, but not elevated body mass index, predicts risk of stroke in men.
Walker SP et al., Body size and fat distribution as predictors of stroke among US men. Am J Epidemiol, 144(12):1143-50 1996 Dec 15.
Homocysteine & Stroke
Hyperhomocysteinemia is a condition which, in the absence of kidney disease, indicates a disrupted sulfur amino acid metabolism, either because of vitamin (folate, B12 and B6) deficiency or a genetic defect.
Epidemiological evidence suggests that mild hyperhomocysteinemia is associated with increased risk of arteriosclerotic disease and stroke.
The relationship between hyperhomocysteinemia and thrombosis has been investigated in 10 studies involving a total of 1200 patients and 1200 controls. Eight of these studies demonstrated positive association with odds ratios that ranged from 2 to 13. This association was enhanced by including a methionine loading test.
There is some evidence which suggests that hyperhomocysteinemia and APC resistance have a synergistic effect on the onset of thrombotic disease.
Selhub J & D'Angelo A: Hyperhomocysteinemia and thrombosis: acquired conditions. Thromb Haemost, 78(1):527-31 1997 Jul.
Risk factors for Stroke
Geographical differences in stroke mortality are not fully explained by population variations in blood pressure and antihypertensive treatment.
Factors connected with health and nutrition in early life may be related to stroke morbidity and mortality. Body height is a sensitive marker for socioeconomic conditions, but results are conflicting as to whether height is associated with stroke.
Investigated stroke incidence in relation to height and classic cardiovascular risk factors.
Height was inversely related to stroke in a dose-response manner. Per 5-cm increase in height, the age-adjusted risk of stroke was 25% lower in women and 18% lower in men.
Systolic blood pressure and daily smoking were positively associated with stroke in both sexes, while serum triglyceride level was a significant risk factor in women only (relative risk per 1 mmol/L, 1.3).
Factors influencing early growth as well as adult lifestyle factors contribute to cerebrovascular disease in adult age.
Njlstad I et al., Body height, cardiovascular risk factors, and risk of stroke in middle-aged men and women. A 14-year follow-up of the Finnmark Study. Circulation, 94(11):2877-82 1996 Dec 1.
Vitamin C & Stroke
Vitamin C
Vitamin C & beta-carotene
Vitamin C
To determine whether vitamin C status, as measured by dietary intake and plasma ascorbic acid concentration, is related to mortality from stroke and coronary heart disease in people aged 65 and over.
In elderly people vitamin C concentration, whether measured by dietary intake or plasma concentration of ascorbic acid, is strongly related to subsequent risk of death from stroke but not from coronary heart disease.
Gale-CR.: Vitamin C and risk of death from stroke and coronary heart disease in cohort of elderly people [see comments]. BMJ. 1995 Jun 17; 310(6994): 1563-6.
Vitamin C & beta-carotene
Investigated dietary antioxidants (vitamin C and beta-carotene) and 30-year risk of stroke incidence and mortality [Chicago Western Electric Study].
During 46, 102 person-years of follow-up, 222 strokes occurred; 76 of them were fatal. After adjustment for age, systolic blood pressure, cigarette smoking, body mass index, serum cholesterol, total energy intake, alcohol consumption, and diabetes, relative risks for nonfatal and fatal strokes in highest versus lowest quartiles of dietary beta-carotene and vitamin C intake were 0.84 and 0.71, respectively.
There was a modest decrease in risk of stroke with higher intake of beta-carotene and vitamin-C intake. It does not follow, necesasrily, that high intake of antioxidant vitamins decreases risk of stroke.
Daviglus ML et al., Dietary vitamin C, beta-carotene and 30-year risk of stroke: results from the Western Electric Study. Neuroepidemiology, 16(2):69-77 1997.
Vitamin E & Stroke
Changes in oxidative stress status play an important role in tissue injury associated with ischemia -- reperfusion events such as those that occur during stroke and myocardial infarction.
Endothelial cells (EC) from human saphenous vein and aorta were incubated for 22 h and found to take up vitamin E from media containing 0-60 mM vitamin E in a dose-dependent manner.
Saphenous EC supplemented with 23 mM vitamin E produced less H2O2 than unsupplemented controls, both at normoxic condition [supplemented: 4.9 +/- 0.05 vs. control: 10.9 +/- 1.3 pmol/min/10(6) cells] and following hypoxia/reoxygenation [supplemented: 6.4 +/- 0.78 vs. control: 17.0 +/- 2.7 nmol/min/10(6) cells].
In contrast, aortic EC, which were found to have higher superoxide dismutase and catalase activity than EC from saphenous vein, did not produce any detectable levels of H2O2.
Following hypoxia/reoxygenation, the concentration of vitamin E in supplemented saphenous EC was 62% lower than cells maintained at normoxia [0.19 +/- 0.03 vs. 0.5 +/- 0.12 nmoles/10(6) cells]; in aortic EC vitamin E content was reduced by 18% following reoxygenation [0.86 +/- 0.16 vs. 0.70 +/- 0.09 nmoles/10(6) cells].
Therefore, enrichment of vitamin E in EC decreases H2O2 production and thus may reduce the injury associated with ischemia-reperfusion events.
Martin A et al., Effect of vitamin E on hydrogen peroxide production by human vascular endothelial cells after hypoxia/reoxygenation. Free Radic Biol Med, 20(1):99-105 1996.
Dietary Fat & Stroke
Dietary Fat and stroke
This study, based on the evaluation of 832 men, suggests that saturated fat and monounsaturated fat are associated with a reduced risk of ischemic stroke in men. The 832 men were between 45 and 65 years of age, and were free from cardiovascular disease at baseline in 1966-1969. It was found that over 24 hours, an average of 114 g total fat were consumed (39% of energy), with 15% of that coming from saturated fat, 16% from monounsaturated fat, and 5% from polyunsaturated fat. The risk of ischemic stroke declined across the increasing quintile of total fat, saturated fat, and monounsaturated fat, but not polyunsaturated fat. Measures that can be taken for the prevention of stroke include avoidance of cigarettes, prevention and control of diabetes and hypertension, and treatment of atrial fibrillation.
Gillman, Matthew W., M.D., et al: Inverse Association of Dietary Fat With Development of Ischemic Stroke in Men, JAMA, December 24/31, 1997;278(24):2145-2150.
Low Magnesium Levels
Low Magnesium Levels
According to this study, chronic exposure to alcohol can reduce levels of magnesium, thereby increasing the risk of hemorrhagic stroke. In rats chronically infused for 7 and 14 days with 30% ethanol, brain intracellular free Mg2+ fell 33-39%, brain mitochondrial cytosolic phosphorylation potential fell 31-48%, and brain phosphocreatine fell approximately 15%. Magnesium ATP concentration fell by almost 20% accompanied by a 35% to 40% rise in free ADP concentration. Systemic administration of 4 g/kg ethanol into the 7- and 14-day chronic ethanol animals resulted in a 9- and 12-fold increase in hemorrhagic stroke mortality, respectively, compared to controls.
Altura, Burton M.: Continuous Osmotic Minipump Infusion of Alcohol Into Brain Decreases Brain [Mg2+] and Brain Bioenergetics and Enhances Susceptibility to Hemorrhagic Stroke: An In Vivo 31P-NMR Study, Alcohol, 1998;15(2):113-117.
According to this study conducted on rats, vinpocetine (extracted from periwinkle seeds), may reduce the oxidative neuronal damage associated with ischemic injury (stroke) and other neurological disorders. Rats were treated with ascorbate/Fe2+, and this treatment resulted in an increase in oxygen consumption, and thiobarbituric reactive substance (TBARS) formation. Administration of vinpocetine inhibited this oxygen consumption and TBARS formation, and led to a decrease in reactive oxygen species formation.
Santos MS, Duarte AI, Moreira PI, Oliveira CR: Synaptosomal response to oxidative stress: effect of vinpocetine, Free Radic Res 2000 Jan;32(1):57-66
High body stores of iron may contribute to stroke progression and early neurologic deterioration, according to this study conducted on 100 stroke patients. Measurements were taken on patients who had suffered a stroke within less than 24 hours for ferritin, total iron, and glutamate concentrations in plasma and CSF. Plasma ferritin concentrations were significantly higher in patients with progressing stroke, than in those with nonprogressing stroke. Plasma ferritin concentrations were also directly associated with early neurologic worsening.
Davalos A, Castillo J, Marrugat J, Fernandez-Real JM, Armengou A, Cacabelos P, Rama R: Body iron stores and early neurologic deterioration in acute cerebral infarction, Neurology 2000 Apr 25;54(8):1568-74
Dairy Food Consumption
Dairy Food Consumption
High dietary consumption of dairy products may reduce the risk of stroke and counter high blood pressure, according to this study. The author attributes this to the fact that dairy products contain three minerals, including calcium, magnesium, and potassium, that contribute to the reduction of blood pressure and decrease the risk of stroke. The author also notes that recent studies have indicated that dairy products may help reduce platelet aggregation and insulin resistance, which are two other factors associated with stroke.

Kingdom Rock has been fantastic! Thanks to everyone who has made our week possible! We have had so much fun learning about God's awesome love, singing songs, making snacks, cool science experience and so much more! We all learned how to stand strong for God!
The Heflin First United Methodist Youth is adventurous too! They not only helped with Vacation Bible School this week but they went kayaking a couple weeks ago and this weekend they are going to the Atlanta Braves Faith Day. We have an awesome new Youth Director, Michael Ferguson, and he is doing a fantastic job with our youth in so many ways! The youth meets every Wednesday night at 5:45pm so if you will be entering the 7th thru 12th grade and would like to join in on some great fellowship with young Christians just like you; contact us at 256- 463-2441 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
The summer of "Scandal!" continues in Sunday Night Live at 5:05pm with "Are Witches Deciding Our Nation's Policies?!" That sounds interesting! The sermon comes from 1 Samuel 28:3-20a and I know I keep saying it but the live texting poll is so cool!
I enjoy Pastor Michael's sermon every Sunday and last week was no different. He said "Nothing is in its proper place in life if God isn't" so there's my thought for the week. We hope everyone is having a good one!

"(The best part) is being around the kids. They put a smile on your face," Spanish Springs coach Kyle Penney said. "The best part is hearing our players, my players, talk about these little kids. We come to practice and they're talking about the kids at D-League, that's the best part."
This was the second year Penney ran the camp, which is for kids in first through eighth grade, and ran Saturday mornings in January through early February.
A prominent fundraiser himself, Penney got the idea for the camp from his coaching buddy Corey Thacker at Douglas High. Due to strong fundraising, Spanish Springs took three separate trips to California this preseason.
"I talk to him (Thacker) a lot and I just kind of (asked), 'hey, is it OK if I kind of steal your deal' and he was on board," Penney said.
For the Spanish Springs players, the camp was a reprieve from Saturday morning practices and a way to connect with future players in the program – in theory.
"It's a lot of fun. It's cool because you actually kind of get to know them a little bit. They come every year," Spanish Springs senior guard Kenny Meyer – the team's leading scorer – said. "And we get to be around basketball and not actually have to practice. It's cool because they get kind of close and start coming to our games."
Senior guard Hunter Fralick – a quarterback commit at Nevada – echoed Meyer's sentiment.
"It's fun and it's cool because these are the kids that are going to take our place and take stuff on…," Fralick said. "These little kids just have fun. They don't really know all the fundamentals yet or have the skills. It's nice to play a game on Friday night where everything is intense and crazy and competitive, then to come out here with them and just have fun, it's awesome."
Penney said the purpose of the two-year-old camp goes beyond bringing money into the program to building a community connection to Spanish Springs hoops. With 57 youth enrolled in the camp, he is accomplishing both.
"It's a great idea," Michelle Bai, the mother of Ethan, 7, said. "(The players) are wonderful. They are patient with the kids … I love it."
Bai enrolled her son into the camp for the first time this year to "try something different."
After last year's inaugural camp, Penney made a few changes to expand its horizon. One of the changes included using both the small gym and the large gym at Spanish Springs to use 10-foot and shortened hoops to accommodate the varying age groups.
With the difference in ages at the camp, Penney said another purpose of the camp is to teach the basics of basketball.
"We do a lot of station of work, obviously fundamentals are the important piece. You know we want to teach them fundamentals and teach them how to jump stop and pass and pivot. So we do a lot of station work," Penney said. "And then we mix in some games – dribble games, shooting games. They do scrimmage a little bit time to time toward the last 10 to 15 minutes of the session. So we try to give them a good spectrum of what's going on."
Although the camp finished Saturday, the Spanish Springs boys basketball team is just starting its playoff run. The Cougars sit in second place in the High Desert League, trailing just league-leading and arch rival Reed with a game remaining in the regular season.
The Cougars and Raiders play Friday at Reed and more than likely, there will be a few kids in the stands wearing 'Spanish Springs D-League' T-shirts. Tipoff is at 7 p.m.

Very new to Adobe Premiere Elements 10 so this is probably a stupid question...
How do I make pictures and text fly across the screen? I've done rolling credits for the end but the start I just want the logo and some text moving across the screen.
Its so easy in imovie but I can't seem to do it in Premiere Elements. I am using it on a pc by the way.
Thanks so much for any help
Welcome to the forum.
Those Effects are easily done by animating the Clips/Titles with Keyframes. Usually, one will at least start by working with the Fixed Effect>Motion>Position, and Keyframing it over time.
While the actual work is easy, one does need to get a handle on the concept of Keyframing Effects. Steve Grisetti, our tireless MOD, has a multi-part Learning Series on Basic Keyframing, available on Muvipix.com. I do nto recall if that particular series is free to all, or is only for subscribers. That will give you a big head-start with the concepts.
There is a similar thread, on exactly what you want to do, and was posted fairly recently. I will look for it, as both Steve and I go into a bit more detail. In the meantime, check out Muvipix.com, and also read the entries on "Keyframing" in the Help File.
Good luck, and will report back with a link to that thread soon.
Hi Kristy,
As Bill said, keyframing is simple and yet a very powerful tool for all kinds of movements of pictures,text,videos,effects,etc. with time.
For moving text, you can also consider text animations. When you apply a text, and the titler opens, then on the right hand side, various text animation options are shown. PrE has got some quite good text animations options available.

Warriors and Musicians
[Toot!] Index: 0.2
Communism Bit: On
Location: Job, of course
[This is my 102nd post. Dedicated to all the girls I've fallen in love with, those I told and those I was too shy to tell, and one of them in particular, who I won't hint at further for fear of making her uncomfortable. Also dedicated to all people who fit in any of the categories of fighters and musicians mentioned below.]
Late eighties, in Uganda. Our hair still smells of gunpowder. You open your windows in the morning, and gun smoke comes rushing in. On occassion there is the salvo of machine gun fire, and mothers rush to herd the young ones under beds, and the men turn the lights down and stroke their clubs and rosaries. This country is covered in bullet wounds, and the hoarding instinct upsets economic advancement. Late eighties, in Uganda. I was there, kids. We had it tough, kids.
We had much of the shit. The Congolese, on the other hand (the hand facing west, for those of you who don't see me), had nearly no shit. Comparatively, I mean. That is a land of tenacious People, the Congo. Did you know that these Western Imperialists halved the population of the Congo by massacre alone? Cut the population in half, literally. Because if your arms are cut off by them Europeans, half you has been cut off.
But in the late eighties, they were riding the orgasmic peak of Mobutu's Authenticité program. Their women, therefore, were round wonders of jiggling beauty, wrapped in their loudly-coloured African clothes. Kuku wa za Banga's corpulent hens. They had it good, the Congolese. They had it good, kids.
So, in the troubled days that were the late eighties, brightness gushed into our country (or just seeped, whatever) from the Congo. As music. It's why I've never understood the relationship between the Congo and Uganda. We love their music and their women. Our generals also love their trees and minerals. But we never hug, ever. Why? "What's wrong with loving one another," Bob Marley asks. "What'swrong with you, my brother?"
Ah, but we played that Congolese music. We played it. Didn't Madilu System serenade our women? Didn't Tshala Mwana arouse our men? Didn't we wail together with M'Bilia Belle? Didn't our Army Band steal Congolese hits and remix them with blood-pumping patriotism? Didn't our guitars go a note higher, too? Didn't we learn Lingala? At least didn't we know that bolingo means "love"?
Kids, love the Congoman. He helped us through them days. The late eighties.
But the early nineties came, as they were meant to. And the school kids had to present something about HIV/AIDS everytime there was a guest to the school. Because the pretense had stopped, you see. We had stood by and watched entire families wave at us and enter the earth, never to return. The Insect was eating up whole towns. Grown men, big and strong, were cut down in midstep. You start a sentence, and before you're done with it you have been eaten by the Insect without eve
It is said that the government was particularly concerned, because the soldiers of its revolution were hit particularly hard. Kids, we started our little attempt to fight The Insect. With nobody to learn from, for we were the first, we marched on. Congoman's music playing behing us, we tried. Philly Lutaya, one of our own musical geniuses, becomes one of the first people in the world to be a HIV/AIDS campaigner. Maybe the very first. He is still the Honorary General of the Fight Against HIV/AIDS, and will always be. So saith I.
Our war had now turned to The Insect. And, down South, our brothers were fighting another war. Against Apartheid. The time had come for all out war, revolution, to restore sanity in South Africa. But the frontline states had become too perilous, too compromised, for the gallant warriors of Umkhonto we Sizwe to base there. So they looked for a brother country farther north, and found us willing and able to host them, fight along with them, and, if it comes to it, die alongside them. And so, they came in. Carrying a gun in one hand and a cassette tape in the other. In the nights, by boat, by car through Tanzania, by plane sometimes, the South Africans came. Their war was won shortly—Amandla!—and some went back. But they left the music and its effect behind. We had heard the songs of South Africa. The songs of those geniuses of harmony. Even the sweaty war songs, like this Umshini Wami (Bring Me My Machine Gun), still refused to let go of the beautiful harmony.
Didn't Lucky Dube spur us on? Didn't Yvonne Chaka Chaka teach us how to dance? Didn't we learn about the more-electronic styles from the South Africans? Didn't Miria Makeba teach us how to find the beauty in the pain?
Shortly, the economy came to life. And music dripped in from the Caribbean islands. And our younger ones learnt how to dance while hopping about like posessed shamans. The beats were solid and a little monotonous. It was called ragga or the like. Our young ones also started singing it. First they played it, then mimed it, then put their own lyrics in, then went ahead to create it entirely from scratch. It is from that music that these boys of today sprung. You kids don't know the history of your country's musical tastes. But that is a good thing. It shows how much distance we've put between us and Those Days. New challenges, new music. I conjecture that from African musical genres alone, one can compose all other musical genres in the World. (For freaks: African music is Turing-complete for music, and maybe for computation itself.)
I hope these big-name artistes jetting in and out of our country are going to have as long-lasting and positive an impact on our music.
(I had to finish this, you see.)

Set your geographic target
Google's goal is to return the most relevant and useful sites in response to a user query. As a result, the results we show to a user in Ireland may vary from the results returned to a user in France.
If your site has a generic top-level domain, such as .com or .org, and targets users in a particular geographic location, you can provide us with information that will help us determine how your site appears in our search results. This will also improve Google's search results for geographic queries. This data supplements our existing information, and setting a geographic target won't impact your appearance in search results unless a user limits the scope of the search to a certain country. See a full list of domains Google treats as generic.
Sites with country-coded top-level domains (such as .ie) are already associated with a geographic region, in this case Ireland. In this case, you won't be able to specify a geographic location.
If no information is entered in Webmaster Tools, we'll rely largely on the site's country domain (.ca, .de, etc.). If an international domain (.com, .org, .eu, etc) has been used, we'll rely on several signals, including IP address, location information on the page, links to the page, and any relevant information from Google Places. If you change hosting provider for a country domain, there should be no impact. If you change the hosting provider of an international domain to a provider in another country, we recommend using Webmaster Tools to tell us which country your site should be associated with.
Set a geographic target:
- On the Webmaster Tools Home page, click the site you want.
- Click the gear icon , and then click Site Settings.
- In the Geographic target section, select the option you want.
If you want to ensure that your site is not associated with any country or region, select Unlisted in the drop-down list.
The tool handles geographic data, not language data. If you're targeting users in different locations—for example, if you have a site in French that you want users in France, Canada, and Mali to read—we don't recommend that you use this tool to set France as a geographic target. A good example of where it would be useful is for a restaurant website: if the restaurant is in Canada, it's probably not of interest to folks in France. But if your content is in French and is of interest to people in multiple countries/regions, it's probably better not to restrict it.

Republican talking heads at Fox News said exit polls reflected voter opposition to Obama Care and predicted a Republican victory. After the results were in, Fox complained the Republican candidate was outspent by $15 million. If money dictated the outcome of the election, the race was over before it started.
McAuliffe is a former Democratic National Committee chairman. He was a fundraiser for both Bill and Hillary Clinton and campaigned for his election, managing to solicit over $34 million to its cause. But it wasn't only the money that helped get him elected. It was the Clintons and the government shut-down orchestrated by the Grand Old Party.
Cuccinelli ran on the political platform of anti-abortion and bashing Obama Care. He tried to blame the Democrats for the shutdown in Washington D.C. but that strategy didn't work in Virginia and it won't fly in a national election.
Even with the support of Republican Louisiana Govern Bobby Jindal and Senator Marco Rubio, Cuccinelli lost. Kentucky Senator Rand Paul tried to win over the hearts and minds of the mindless ultra extreme GOP, but that probably hurt him more than it helped him. As it turns out, it was the women living in Virginia and working in Washington that ultimately defeated him. Republicans are in for a futile and long uphill battle for the White House.
Still, they may have found their political savior —Chris Christi. Christi's landslide victory for Governor of the state of New Jersey should send a warning shot over the deck of the Tea Party's hold on the Republican Party. He campaigned on compromise, getting things done, negotiation and making decisions. He didn't make President Obama a political target or get into the abortion fight. He didn't blame Democrats for the shutdown.
He ran on his efforts to help the people living on the New Jersey seashore rebuild after a hurricane and disastrous fire. Christi confined his campaign to state issues and what he will do for the state of New Jersey. That combined with a strong Independent vote and his personality helped get him elected.
Some pundits could argue that Virginia's vote was a vote for Hillary Clinton. That is probably the benchmark set by the Clinton campaign. As her popularity grows in the South, among women in particular, and independents with the possibility of Virginia becoming a purple state, she's probably going to run.
Others will argue that Chris Christi's overwhelming victory should be the springboard for his presidential candidacy. That may be true. But Christi might have too much baggage in his family album to win his primary election: his uncle was a mafia boss. Of course, the Kennedy's had no problem being tied to the gangland in Chicago through the Frank Sinatra connection. Either way, the pathway to the White House is definitely through the states of New Jersey and Virginia.

Physical Inactivity Linked to Type 2 DiabetesPosted: Saturday, September 03, 2011
Physical inactivity may play a key role in the development of Type 2 diabetes, according to new research.
John Thyfault, an assistant professor at the University of Missouri's departments of nutrition and exercise physiology and internal medicine, studied the relationship between low levels of physical activity and elevated levels of postprandial glucose, which refers to the spikes in blood sugar that occur after a meal. PPG, which has been associated with increased incidences of cardiovascular disease and death, also is a risk factor for the development of Type 2 diabetes.
What Thyfault found while monitoring activity levels and diets of healthy and moderately active young adults, was that those people that reduced their physical activity by about half for three days saw their PPG responses to meals double.
"We now have evidence that physical activity is an important part of the daily maintenance of glucose levels," Thyfault said. "Even in the short term, reducing daily activity and ceasing regular exercise causes acute changes in the body associated with diabetes that can occur before weight gain and the development of obesity.
"This study shows that physical activity directly impacts health issues that are preventable," he concluded.

After four very successful Restaurant Weeks — the inaugural event kicked off Feb. 22, 2008 — the fifth installment is gearing up. Here's how to be a savvy participant:
It's not a week. Restaurant Week runs 10 days, Friday through Feb. 26 (though some restaurants are closed Sundays and/or Mondays; check). And many restaurants routinely extend their Restaurant Week menus by a few days, or more.
These are very good deals. Three-course lunches are $22; dinners are $33 and/or $44. Granted, some restaurants don't make quite as much effort as others. But $44 for dinner at Perennial Virant, $22 for lunch at Sepia and $33 for dinner at Il Mulino are conspicuous bargains.
Places sell out. Already, nearly all the tables at Table Fifty-Two, a first-time participant, are spoken for. But don't despair. Some restaurants hold a few tables back, and cancellations do happen. If you can't find a table online, call the restaurant directly.
It couldn't be easier. Go to eatitupchicago.com to find a list of participating restaurants and the menus they will be featuring. Included in each restaurant listing is a one-click link to opentable.com for online reservations.
The event just keeps getting bigger. The first Chicago Restaurant Week, five years ago, had 35 participating restaurants. This year it's more than 200. That, my friends, is a success story.

UNC Asheville Celebrates 83rd Annual Commencement
Sat, 05/07/2011 - 12:33pm
More than 5,000 family and friends gathered on UNC Asheville's Quadrangle Saturday morning to celebrate UNC Asheville's 2011 graduating class. Some 691 students were honored as the Class of 2011 during the 83nd Commencement Ceremony, including 447 spring graduates, 212 winter graduates and 32 summer graduates.
Thomas W. Ross delivered the Commencement Address, his first as new president of the 17-campus University of North Carolina system. Prior to assuming his new position in January, Ross had served as president of Davidson College.
Ross told the Class of 2011 that as graduates of "the best public liberal arts university in America … you can write, speak and think with the best of them, and you are well prepared for the adventures ahead." Ross urged the graduates to "seize the opportunity to make a difference, to serve and to lead for the common good … Don't just live, lead. The world needs leaders, and you are ready." Prior to serving as president of Davidson College, Ross had been executive director of the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation, and judge for the North Carolina Superior Court.
UNC Asheville Chancellor Anne Ponder presented an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree to business and education leader C.D. Spangler, who led the University of North Carolina system as its second president from 1986 to 1997. Chancellor Ponder noted that during Spangler's tenure, he worked to make higher education accessible by keeping tuition low, and that he hired two of the UNC system's first female chancellors. Spangler continues to support education through his philanthropic foundation, which has created dozens of distinguished professorships within the UNC system including several at UNC Asheville. In addition, he has made multimillion-dollar gifts to scholarships and other education-related causes.
Chancellor Ponder also addressed the Class of 2011, recognizing what the graduates have already accomplished. "While many believe that graduation begins the time when people begin to make their marks in the world … your co-curricular activities and community engagement have already made a mark. With all that you have done to this point, it is inspiring to think what you will do tomorrow, next year, and in the decades to come."
Student and Faculty Awards
During the ceremony, three graduates received UNC Asheville's highest student awards. Two top faculty teaching awards were also presented.
Alexandra Neidermeier, of Weaverville, received the William and Ida Friday Award for Community Service. Neidermeier earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Environmental Technology with departmental distinction and completed teaching licensure for secondary education in science. She has volunteered more than 900 hours with AmeriCorps' Project Power, which provides enrichment and mentoring services to vulnerable youth. She was also one of the lead organizers of the annual UNC Asheville Holiday Head Start party for more than 100 Asheville-area children.
The A.C. Reynolds Award and the Thomas D. Reynolds Prize for Leadership and Campus Service was presented to Lee Doyle of Belzoni, Miss., who majored in Women, Gender & Sexuality Studies. She earned Latin honors and departmental distinction, and has served in the Center for Diversity Education, as chair and student advisor for the UNC Asheville Alliance, and as a member of the Multicultural Student Organization Council. She also volunteered with a variety of off-campus service programs.
Miranda Taylor, an International Studies major within the Interdisciplinary Studies Program, was named recipient of the Manly E. Wright Award, which is presented to the student first in scholarship. She completed minors in Asian Studies and Spanish, graduated with Latin honors, departmental distinction, distinction as a University Research Scholar and distinction as a University Scholar.

cronbot is a wrapper script for cron jobs. Rather than running your job/script directly, you run it through cronbot, and it will allow a little more control to help keep things from getting out of hand. The default behavior is to only allow one instance of your job to run. This can be changed with the --duplicate option. You can also pass in a maximum time of execution for a job or add a random amount time to delay the start of your job. By default, jobs are run with a default "nice" value, which is usually 10.
xc is a simple and handy substitute for sudo. It parses the /etc/xc.conf file, containing a list of identifiers, accesses, and commands. If an identifier (given as an argument to xc) matches the corresponding access (i.e., user or group), the related command is executed. The user can only see the identifiers he can execute, and the real command attached to the identifier remains invisible to him.

Summer Arts Festival kicks off season of activities in Vermillion Vermillion's summer activities will officially kick off this weekend with the annual Summer Arts Festival June 19-20 at the Old Main Quadrangular on the campus of The University of South Dakota.
A wide variety of events, featuring live music, arts and crafts, children's activities, foods and a downtown sidewalk sale, begin at 10:45 a.m. both Saturday and Sunday
At the center of the festival is its live music, according to John Day, co-chair of this year's festival with Sandy Harper.
"Along with nearly 40 arts and crafts booths, the individual demonstrations, activities for kids and food, the festival centers around a core of wonderful music," Day said. "There are a lot of things to see, hear and enjoy."
From the Jamaican steel drum band music of the Carib Coyotes to the ragtime tunes of River City Ragtime Band and folk songs of Ann Zimmerman, most everyone will hear tunes to tap their toes to at the festival. Different performers will be on stage nearly every hour.
Other performers include T. Wilson King (blues and bottleneck), Rolf Olsen and All That Jazz, folk singer Chuck Suchy, bluegrass artists Art Stevenson and High Water and Celtic musicians Curtis and Loretta.
Children will also find plenty to do at the festival, getting involved with a variety of activities as their parents wander through the arts and crafts booths. Artists from a five-state region will display and sell their handmade works during the festival. These displays will include sculpture, ceramic, paintings, quilts, pottery, dolls and more. Whether people are buying or just browsing, the artists' work will be exhibited for festival goers both Saturday and Sunday.
No one will go away from the festival hungry as a variety of tantalizing treats will be offered by food vendors. Bloomin' onions, ice cream, barbecued pork, French cuisine and beverages, funnel cakes and kettle corn are just a few of the food offerings vendors will have on hand.
As festival-goers eat, listen to music and shop for unique gifts, they can also see demonstrations by Will Cover, blacksmith, Mary Wise, basketmaker and Jaquin, candle making and glass blowing.
In the evening, The Shunka Theatre Company, in cooperation with the USD Student Theatre Cooperative, will present Queen of Bingo, a heart-warming comedy about two sisters who are downright hooked on bingo. The production runs Friday, Saturday and Sunday in Old Main's Farber Hall with a curtain time of 8 p.m. Tickets for each performance are $5.
Vermillion area merchants will also be involved in festival activities with a sidewalk sale on Saturday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Vermillion Area Chamber of Commerce will sponsor free shuttle service from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. from the arts festival on campus to Main Street and Cherry Street sidewalk sales. An antique sale and flea market area is also featured downtown.
"I think we've built an event that is community oriented and celebrates Vermillion. It emphasizes the family and has become a traditional early summer celebration," Day said.

for Africa (RAF)
Africa's forest resources are among the richest and most diverse in the world and are crucial for the welfare of its people, as well as for biological diversity and climate regulation. Yet, despite conservation efforts, the destruction of forests, woodlands and wildlife continues unabated, largely driven by forces outside the forest sector.
The priorities for forest resources management focus on combating deforestation and forest degradation, especially in arid and semi arid countries, promoting sustainable forest management practices in West moist and Central Africa and pursuing efforts in strengthening national capacities in West and Central Africa to undertake and improve forest resources assessment.
Contribution of forests, trees outside forests and wildlife resources to food security and poverty alleviation is a high priority to Africa. In this respect, activities focus on sustainable utilisation of forest and wildlife products as well as on wood energy. Forestry technical area aims at strengthening the emerging partnership between FAO and governments and NGOs, in order to improve forest-food statistics, to develop food safety standards, to encourage domestication and to sustainably manage dwindling natural supplies, including wild meat.
In the context of supporting Regional and Sub-regional initiatives RAFT/forestry will seek to strengthen the CAADP and NEPAD Environment Initiatives among others by working with farmers to protect upstream watershed catchment functions through maintenance of forest cover and use of agroforestry and associated soil conservation practices. RAFT/FO works towards developing closer collaboration with River Basin Authorities, Development Partners and Other UN Agencies at Regional and Sub-regional Levels.
Support to Regional and Sub-regional forestry policies and institutions is pursued in the context of National Forest Programmes and with support from the nfp Facility.
In follow-up to requests and recommendations of the African Forestry and Wildlife Commission (AFWC), priority attention will also be accorded to forest protection, especially bush fire prevention and control at national level, and promoting Regional and Sub-regional cooperation on wild fires.
The role of the AFWC will be enhanced, especially in an expanded role of its Executive Committee. This will work towards ensuring regional collaboration on forestry and wildlife priorities in Africa and, especially, for the implementation of the UNFF process, follow-up to World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) in Africa and building strategic partnerships with regional & sub-regional organisations. Special emphasis is placed on the role of forestry in the context of NEPAD Initiatives and in the pursuit of Millennium Development Goals.
Current activities
In 2008 and 2009, the RAFT/Forestry programme shall concentrate its activities in the recommendations addressed to FAO under the themes debated at the 16th Session of AFWC (17 -21 February 2008), including:
Cross-cutting issues such as forest financing; gender and forests; and the role of forests in poverty alleviation are continuously taken into account in the forestry programme activities in Africa. Furthermore a new FAO Forestry Strategy is being developed and RAFT/Forestry provides the African response to this important exercise led by the FAO Headquarters.
The "secret of success" for the RAF/Forestry programme lies on networking and partnerships. Internally, collaboration in terms of joint activities is continuously explored within the RAFT/NR-FI-FO programme, as well as with the other thematic areas at RAF. The Regional forestry officer seeks to promote and facilitate the communication, harmonization of work plans and joint activities amongst the four sub-regional forestry officers in sub-saharan Africa (SFW - Accra, SFE - Addis, SFC - Libreville and SFS - Harare). This effort includes the nfp Facilitators stationed in Accra, Kampala and Pretoria.
Another important element animated by the Regional Forestry Officer is the bureau of the AFWC.
Partnerships outside the organization are cultivated and intensified, especially with the African Forest Forum, the AU secretariat and UNECA, and the NEPAD/CADPP programmes. Support to the sub-regional forestry related processes at the COMIFAC, ECOWAS, SADC and other sub-regional organizations is very important for FAO and shall be pursued further. Partnerships with ICRAF (the World Agroforestry Center), Bioversity ( formerly IPGRI-Plant Genetic Resources Institute), CIFOR (Center for International Forestry Research), IUFRO (International Union of Forestry Research Organizations), ITTO (International Tropical Timber Organization), ATO (African Timber Organization), CI (Conservation International), WWF and World Vision International, exist and will be reinforced. The Regional forestry officer would guarantee a good flow of information and exchange of experience amongst them, and amongst similar processes in other regions.
RAF/Forestry aims to provide continuing support to member countries and African organizations for them to understand and respond in a concerted manner to issues arising from the global forest debates. Particular attention shall be given to UNFF, CPF, and the forest related multilateral environmental agreements (MEA). The following partnership programmes exist:
EC-FAO partnership programAfrican Development Bank African Academy of Sciences (AAS)FNPPCOMIFACRegional Economic International Organizations (e.g. COMESA, ECCAS, ECOWAS, IGAD, SADC, UEMOA, CILSS)IUFROIUFRO-SPDCFORNESSACAWHFICPFLiberia Forest initiativeForest Invasive Species Network for AfricaICRAF

Here you'll find a list of our favorite Blu-ray players, with a heavy emphasize on value.
CNET Top 5
The Sony BDP-S3200 will play your Blu-rays just fine but it doesn't do enough to embrace streaming media like its competitors.
The Samsung BD-F5900 is an excellent Blu-ray player with the right mix of usability, performance, and speed.
A refreshing new way to look at all-in-one desktops, the Lenovo B750's Blu-ray-friendly, extra-wide display is great for movies (if you add some extra software), and games greatly benefit from a wider field of view. It's different, and fun to use, but it cries out for a touch screen.
The Sony BDP-S5100 Blu-ray player offers a wealth of services and very good image quality for the money.
The LG BP530 has built-in Wi-Fi and a good selection of apps, but there are just enough quirks to keep it from being a top Blu-ray player pick.
The Panasonic DMP-BDT230 is a mostly solid Blu-ray player, except it serves up obnoxious ads in its onscreen interface.
Our list is starting to dwindle, but there are still some favorites that haven't been released yet on Blu-ray.
Check out CNET's roundup of must-have Blu-ray discs. We'll be updating our picks as new discs come out.

Original Message
I will post no proof that I actually do live here. I'm sure some have clicked away immediately at that confession and I do not blame them. You may or may not believe in what I am about to say and that is your choice.
I live in Newtown. I live about 1 mile from Sandy Hook Elementary on Riverside Road. I didn't go to work on Friday Dec 14th. I called in sick but I was playing hooky. I work at a restaurant in Danbury. I've spent the past 2 hours debating with myself if I should post this. I could have posted it somewhere else but this site seems to always pop up when the Sandy Hook "shooting" is concerned. I figured this was the most popular spot.
At around 8:50-9:00am I had just finished eating my breakfast. I had Captain Crunch cereal. I had used the last of my milk. I decided to go get some at Caraluzzi's because a friend of mine works there and I wanted to see what he was up to that evening. I get in my car at about 9:05am. I drive West on Riverside Road. Before I even got to the Fire House, I noticed a lot of vehicles parked there. Way, way, way more than usual. A few was parked on both sides of the road. I figured they was just doing some kind of training or a meeting. However one thing did stick out and that was the fact that a lot of the vehicles was solid silver and solid black. I drive past the Fire House and the Senior Center is right next door less than 100 yards. That parking lot was full as well with some of the same vehicles mixed with trucks and what not. Vehicles you would expect to see in a parking lot. Still I thought nothing of it. I go get my milk.
I'm in Caraluzzi's and I've been talking to my friend for a right good while and we hear 2 police cars go by. About 5 minutes later we hear a Helicopter. Dave comes from the back and said, "They must be doing another drill again. Scanner said mass casualty incident involving children". Right then I figured out why all those vehicles was at the Fire House and Senior Center. Because it's not the first time they have done that. They did a similar thing about 1 year ago around this time of year. And they are always doing car accidents that concerns Hazmat or whatever. I told them what I saw. Dave said, "Those cars sound like FBI cars. I guess they would be in on it". So I figure to go so I could catch a peek at what was going on. I get to town and couldn't go down Riverside Road. I told the officer that I live down there. He said, "No through traffic even for residents. Fire and Rescue and Police need to finish doing what they are doing". I said, "What are they doing?". He said, "I would tell you if I knew and I have no clue. The way it sounds they are running a drill but we have been blocked from main traffic. I was just told to do traffic control and make sure no one goes down there".
Then I drive west to Danbury. I don't know why but I just did. I was thinking to myself that that was what I get for playing hooky from work. I had the radio on but not loud enough to hear it. I turn it up thinking maybe I could catch what was going on. The local station mentioned nothing. At about 10:00 they break in from Sammy Hagar's "I Can't Drive 55". The guy said that he was hearing reports of an incident at Sandy Hook Elem and that surrounding schools was on lock down however, "I called my wife because she works at Newtown Middle School and she said they weren't on lock down and haven't heard anything about an incident. So it appears information has been mixed up. We need to get our stuff together before they tell me to report".
I get to Danbury and I go into Global gas station to get a Mt. Dew. They had the tv on and I froze. They was watching coverage of the "shooting". I just watched for 30 minutes frozen. Then I started thinking about all of those cars at the Fire Dept. I didn't know what to think about that. My brain just didn't work after watching the tv.
Fast forward to right this second. I've read the theories and the stories and honestly, those are the only ones that add up. I live here and I do not know what the **** went on. This town is fairly small. I know right many people. I know Eugene Rosen. He is an extremely creepy bastard. I know Scarlett Lewis. But I would like to know where in the hell she got all of that money to "spruce" herself up for interviews. But the Phelps and Parker families that seem to be shoved down our throat, I have no idea in hell who they are. I've asked family and friends and they don't know who they are. I know a Robert Parker, but that sure as hell isn't him in the interviews.
I just do not know what is going on.
