Well before video games and other sensory-overload hand-held entertainment devices captivated our youth, kids of my generation collected and exchanged trading cards of our favorite football and baseball players.
The cards weren't interactive devices in today's technical sense, yet there seemed to be a virtual lifetime connection created between the youngster and the player depicted.
When I was 7, childhood friend Paige Smith offered me two of his cards — Chicago Cardinals quarterback Lamar McHan and halfback John David Crow — in exchange for Bears receiver Harlon Hill. I firmly declined the offer.
Hill, who passed away Thursday at 80, remains the Bears' second all-time leading receiver in career yards (4,616, behind Johnny Morris' 5,059). And, remember, NFL teams played only 12 games per season until 1961, Hill's last of eight seasons with the Bears. Hill averaged 20.2 yards a catch during an era when defensive backs were allowed to hit receivers downfield before the ball was in the air.

Hill's stats and the fact Sid Luckman from the 1940s still holds many of the Bears' passing records says a lot about the Bears' lack of progress offensively in the modern era.
Through my decades as a Tribune sportswriter, meeting famous athletes has become fairly routine. Yet, when I have the opportunity to chat with former players whom I admired as a young boy, I tend to turn into that awkward old Chris Farley character on "Saturday Night Live" who would begin every interview with: "Remember the time you made that unbelievable play? … That was great, wasn't it? …"
I had the opportunity to connect with Hill the last several years over the phone. He had been in failing health for quite some time as his daughters cared for him at his home in Killen, Ala. He had undergone numerous surgeries and was relegated to a wheelchair. His daughters would alert me before putting Hill on the phone that his speech and memory lapses were a concern. Yet I discovered his recall of Bears games from the late 1950s was remarkable.
I spoke with Hill in October before the Bears faced the Lions in a Monday night game. We talked about the 1956 Bears-Lions game that ended in a players brawl and near fan riot at Wrigley Field. It was the first NFL game my father had taken me to see.
"I remember that game," Hill said of the 38-21 Bears victory in which he caught a 44-yard touchdown pass. "(Defensive end) Ed Meadows knocked (quarterback) Bobby Layne out of that game. (The Lions) were playing dirty."
Hill said he didn't think the Bears would be intimidated by the Lions on Oct. 22. That turned out to be the game Ndamukong Suh slammed Jay Cutler to the ground to cause a concussion.
"I don't think the Bears have any sissies; they won't put up with that," Hill said.
Listed at 6 feet 3, 199 pounds, Hill was drafted by the Bears out of Florence State Teachers College (now the University of North Alabama) and was the NFL Rookie of the Year in 1954 after catching 45 passes for 1,124 yards and 12 touchdowns. He was league MVP in 1955 and wound up his nine-year career with the Steelers and Lions in 1962. Hill later became a high school coach and then principal.
He is the namesake of the Harlon Hill Trophy that annually goes to the best college player in Division II.
In college, Hill was the favorite target of quarterback George Lindsey, who would become an actor and played "Goober Pyle" on the Andy Griffith Show.
Hill said Lindsey's favorite play to call in the huddle was: "Harlon, go long."
I still cherish my Harlon Hill football card and the memories that go with it. And the answer is still, no. There is no way I would trade it.

Friendly staff and a distinctive menu – Olio doesn't shoehorn easily into a pre-defined genre of cuisine. It's generally Italian with nods towards mexican, middle-eastern, seafood, and American (traditional) foods.
The Olio martini - a dirty martini with a Gorgonzola stuffed olive - is good, but it's a vodka martini. They'll happily serve gin, but the selection is pretty bland.
Their salads are huge. I asked them to make me a side salad version of their field greens, walnuts, mandarins, blue cheese and cranberries salad, and it was still huge. And served with a side of bread, to boot.
The ravioli with cream pesto sauce was good, but not great. I couldn't tell if it was fresh or frozen, but it was cooked a bit too long.
On the upside, the waitress brought three different taster glasses of wine to help narrow my selections. After immediately excluding the red zinfandel - it smelled like floor cleaner - I was left between their full-bodied new Chilean and a familiar dry Italian Chianti. The waitress was very helpful for making wine selections, which is a rarity.
Dessert was peach sorbet, served inside a frozen peach. If I didn't know these were also made this way (and probably imported) in Italy, I'd have been impressed. Espresso was mediocre, lacking a good crema but served with an odd little lemon rind.
The ambiance was romantic, but not overbearingly. The owners apparently thought tea lights would be a good thing for their restaurant, and there are lots of those around. The only artwork, such as it was, was individual panels each bearing a letter in the name of the restaurant.

Handmade Gifts for Your Teen My daughter is in her early twenties now. I recently asked my girl what some of her favorite holiday gifts from me were over the years.
And for goodness sake, I bought her countless gifts during the teen years that ranged from technology presents to trips to handmade collages.
I am not kidding when I tell you that her favorite gift ever was a card in which I pasted photos of her younger self next to her older self.
Special Video 1. Making a very special video of some of their funniest and most joyful moments
Use iMac or another simple, intuitive video uploading and editing program to pull together favorite bits of video, set it all to music and even share it on Facebook, YouTube or on a DVD.
RELATED Six Reasons Your Teen Is Stressed Out By the Holidays
2. Try the collage idea of photographs with a creative theme
Use real photos, color-printed copies of photos or create a digital collage on PicMonkey (a free and easy app for photo editing and collage-making).
Scrapbook 3. Make a scrapbook of some of their childhood artwork
Use a photo printing site to organize and create a custom or template scrapbook digitally. Or DIY it the old-school way, getting creative with funky paper, fancy scissors, fun stickers, journaling squares and other accoutrement perfectly personalized for your teen.
4. Make a card with cutouts of their handwriting over the years
This also works with handprints, self-portraits and other treasured scribbles and snippets from each year.
RELATED 10 Great Tools To Fill Those College-Bound Teens' Stockingsand
Favorite Music 5. Make a playlist of some of their favorite music
If you're overwhelmed by the sheer amount of music you COULD include, narrow down a theme -- favorite lullabies and songs to soothe, favorite songs about being a girl/boy/kid/rebel/dancer/musician, hits from the year your teen was born, family sing-along favorites, show tunes, or alternate one of your favorite songs with one of your teen's favorites.
I promise to return all of my holiday gifts if your teens don't really enjoy some of these handmade gifts! Everything else gets lost or outdated over the years, but these sorts of presents that recount and illustrate memories will last a lifetime.Do you have any other ideas for creative gifts?

She is unbeaten, unreal, and wonderfully unaware.
"I guess I run because I'm not good at anything else," Sarah Baxter says with a tiny grin.
She hasn't lost a cross-country race in the three years of her Simi Valley High career, yet she once got lost while leading a race on her home course.
"She was supposed to go left, she went right, and everyone was screaming and jumping to get her attention," recalls Jessie Ellis, a Pioneers assistant girls' cross-country coach. "A funny story, but there are a lot of funny stories about Sarah."
She is a three-time state champion and a two-time high school national champion after last weekend's victory in the Nike Cross Nationals in Portland, Ore. Yet her teammates say her most memorable move occurs before every race, when, at the starting line, she breaks into a dance they call "The Baxter Boogie."
Says Baxter: "Oh, c'mon, I'm just shaking it out."
Says teammate Olivia Rosellini with a giggle: "She's pretty quirky."
This fall she ran the fastest 5K girls' time in the 64-year history of the course at the Mt. San Antonio College Invitational in what one expert called "the greatest high school performance ever." She later set the state meet course record in Fresno. But her teammates says she's more amazing when she hangs back with them, because, in the middle of a long run, while everyone else is breathless, she'll start crooning loud renditions of Journey or Elton John tunes.
Says Rosellini: "Out of nowhere, she starts singing, 'Don't stop believin'…' and we're like, what?"
Says Baxter: "That's why I like to run with them. When I run by myself, I'm left to my own thoughts, and that's not always pretty."
She doesn't have much choice on that "run by myself" part. As arguably the best girls' cross-country runner in the country, the 16-year-old junior often competes by herself, running far in front of the pack with a 30-0 record that has rarely even been challenged.
She is so good, beaten opponents ask for her autograph. She is so fast, she can finish a race, towel off, and return to the course to cheer on her teammates.
"We'll all be kicking toward the finish and she'll be standing there all rested and waiting for us," says teammate Sarah Riggs. "It's just unnatural."
What is unnatural is how this 5-foot-6, 100-pound girl with long blond hair and a shy smile handles the pressure. She has never lost, so she's never allowed to lose. Other teams and athletes can have bad games, bad months, even bad seasons if they can figure it out during the playoffs — hello, Lakers — but Baxter can't even have a bad 15 minutes.
"It's kind of scary," she says. "I try not to think about it."
Every time she steps onto one of those winding dirt paths, everyone is staring at her. Every time she begins running, everyone — from 14 girls to 200 girls — is chasing her. The expectations are so immense that sometimes, at the starting line, her eyes fill with tears. She says a prayer for strength before every race, and often emits a sigh of relief afterward.
But she wins. She always wins. She remains undefeated perhaps because, in her mind, it's never about winning, it's just about being the goofy girl in the back of the pack singing oldies and looking for directions.
"When I get really nervous during a race, I just tell myself, 'OK, I don't have to get first place for my team to like me," she says. "When I realize I'm doing this for fun and to be around my friends, it makes it a lot easier to do."
Could it possibly be that she's unbeaten because she's so unaffected? In a city where even some top prep athletes are chest-thumping superstars, could someone really stand out by just trying to fit in? If there's a lesson here, maybe this schoolgirl isn't learning it, but teaching it?
"She's such a grounded kid, she just doesn't get all that's happening around her," says her mother, April. "The most important thing to her is being part of the group."
She has a car, but no license, because, she says, "I've really got no place to be."
She will hear her latest victory trumpeted during the school's morning announcements, and the kid in the next desk will loudly wonder, "Who is Sarah Baxter?" and she will just smile and bury her face in a book.
She began her athletic career by playing youth soccer for four years, during which time she failed to score a goal. She also made a brief attempt at baseball, but her younger brother's throws kept hitting her in the face.
"I don't really have much of that hand-eye coordination thing," she says.
Her parents, both California Highway Patrol officers and former competitive runners, steered her toward track because she was fast. It turns out, she indeed loved to run, but so much that she didn't really care about winning. So her father, Kevin, in a move that will be recognized by caring parents everywhere, began bribing her. He once promised to shave his head if she won junior nationals, which she did, and the bribing soon stopped.
She has since gotten used to winning, so much that when she has nightmares, it's about losing. Sort of. She says she once dreamed of running up to the finish line at the Mt. SAC Invitational, discovering it was adjacent to a Starbucks, and leaving the course for a latte. The unbeaten champ relates the story and, as with every other charmingly humble tale she tells, she laughs
"You know what the scariest part of that dream is?" Sarah Baxter says. "I don't even like Starbucks."

The charity Credit Action has been looking at the number of changes to tax and benefits that will take effect from the 6th April. These are set to lose the average family £200 a year and is on top of an estimated £680 loss in January due to adjustments including the rise in VAT.
National Insurance contributions are set to rise from 11% to 12% for all 29 million employees in the UK, and around 750,000 people are now expected to hit the threshold for the higher 40% tax rate from April after these changes.
If this is going to affect you or you have any comments about these changes, please leave details below. Read the full story here: April tax shock

Spanish Springs coach Ben Hofmann said part of the Cougars' success came from the unity the team had on the diamond.
"I think it's really important for any team that is going to be successful, the guys have to get along," Hofmann said. "I really felt that our guys tried to pick each other up this year. Guys didn't get down on each other. That built off itself as the season went on. They really enjoyed coming to the ballpark every day and enjoyed playing the game together."
Spanish Springs entered its spring break tournament with an 8-3 D-I North record, thanks in part to taking series over Wooster and Hug, as well as a program-first sweep of Reno High.
After spring break the Cougars lost their initial return to league action, but the defeat only temporarily stalled a hot streak for SSHS. Over its next four league series, Spanish Springs did not taste defeat as it won eight in a row.
"I think it was a combination of a lot of things," Hofmann said of the SSHS roll. "Guys were taking good approaches at the plate and we played pretty well defensively. Of course on top of that we had good pitching, which we got for the most part all year.
"It just felt like for a couple of weeks we really put everything together. Guys were having good at bats and playing good defense, just picking each other up. We got a lot of two-out base hits in that stretch and when you do that, good things tend to happen. The hitting got contagious and winning got contagious for us as well."
Unfortunately for the Cougars, the infectious victories slowed after the streak of eight.
Spanish Springs dropped its final two contests of the regular season to enter the playoffs with a 16-6 league record and a No. 2 seeding. From there, SSHS won its opening postseason contest, but back-to-back defeats brought the Cougars season to an earlier than desired end with a 24-11 record overall.
"We had a good group of kids. They had good energy and we had good practices right up to the end of the season," Hofmann said. "They really competed each and every game. It didn't turn out the we hoped or wanted it to, and we might have had a lack of execution toward the end, but for the most part we put together a pretty good effort. The energy and enthusiasm for the game was there and that is all you can ask for."

1. Formal indication by a debtor of his willingness to pay a time draft or bill of exchange.
2. A written instrument so accepted; compliance by one party with the terms and conditions of another's offer so that a contract becomes legally binding between them.
3. Contract law: words signifying consent to the terms of an offer (creating a contract).
4. Banking: A time draft drawn on and accepted by a bank.
Non-competitive trading conducted usually to assist another trader in illegal trading.
1. The physical commodities underlying a FUTURES contract.
2. A cash COMMODITY or physical asset, e.g. GOLD, wheat.Also known as CASH COMMODITY or SPOT COMMODITY.
A provision of a FUTURES contract that allows buyers and sellers to make and take delivery under terms or conditions that differ from those prescribed in the contract. An ADP may occur at any time during the delivery period, after LONG and SHORT futures positions have been matched by the Exchange for the purpose of delivery.
Named for the American Petroleum Institute, API gravity is a measure of how dense a petroleum liquid is compared to water. If a petroleum liquid's API gravity is greater than 10, it is lighter than the same volume of water and floats; if less than 10 it is denser than water and sinks. If one petroleum liquid floats when poured into another, it will have a higher API gravity. Although mathematically API gravity has no units, it is customarily referred to as being in degrees. The formula for obtaining the API gravity of petroleum liquids is: API gravity = (141.5/SG - 131.5), SG = P(substance)/P(H2O) where SG, specific gravity, is and P, the Greek letter rho, denotes density.
An unmatched trade from the previous trading session which is resubmitted to the clearing system "as of" the earlier trading session.
1. When an option is exercised, the matching of an options contract with an assigned counterparty who underwrote the option, obliging the counterparty to fulfil the option. The assigned seller of a PUT OPTION must buy the underlying futures contract while the assigned seller of a CALL OPTION must sell the underlying futures contract.
2. The process by which a CLEARING HOUSE selects the holder of a long position to accept delivery on a contract.
1. The simultaneous purchase and sale of two futures contracts in the same or related commodities with the intention of profiting from a decline in prices but, at the same time, limiting the potential loss if this expectation is wrong. This can usually be accomplished by selling a nearby delivery and buying a deferred delivery.
2. A delta-negative options position composed of long and short options of the same type, either calls or puts, designed to be profitable in a declining market. An options contract with a lower strike price is sold and one with a higher strike price is bought. Compare with BULL SPREAD.
1. The simultaneous purchase and sale of two futures contracts in the same or related commodities with the intention of profiting from a rise in prices but, at the same time, limiting the potential loss if this expectation is wrong. This can be accomplished by buying the nearby delivery and selling the deferred.
2. A delta-positive options position composed of both long and short options of the same type, either calls or puts, designed to be profitable in a rising market. An options contract with a lower strike price is bought and one with a higher strike price is sold.
1. An off-exchange transaction to close out a nearly worthless OUT-OF-THE-MONEY options contract.
2. A transaction in an inactive stock or bond.
1. The simultaneous purchase and sale of the same futures contract but at different contract months; also called an intra-commodity spread.
2. An options spread trade involving buying options on an underlying security expiring in the same month with the same strike price and simultaneously selling other options with the same strike price in an earlier month. The strategy may be used with either CALL OPTION or PUT OPTION, but not both together.
BUYING the spread = BUYING near contract month + SELLING far contract month, and
SELLING the spread = SELLING near contract month + BUYING far contract month
1. A unit of weight for measuring gemstones and pearls equal to exactly 200 milligrams and divisible into 100 points of 2 mg each. Historically, 1 carat was equal to the weight of one carob seed, thought to be the sole seed with a uniform weight. A diamond weighing 100 carats is known as a paragon.
2. A measure of the purity of gold alloys such that, for example, 24-carat gold is fine 999 (99.9 per cent) pure gold, 18-carat gold is 750 fine (75 per cent) pure gold and 12-carat gold is 50 per cent pure gold and 50 per cent alloy. In this definition, often spelled KARAT in North America.
1. The physical commodities underlying a futures contract.
2. A cash commodity or physical asset, e.g. gold, wheat.Sometimes called a SPOT COMMODITY or ACTUALS.
1. In TECHNICAL ANALYSIS, a price level that is regarded as the maximum a given security or index will reach in the near or medium term.
2. The highest price a buyer is willing to pay for a security.
3. The highest price a security or index reaches before a decline.
The management of credit exposures occurring after a trade is made but before it is settled to ensure that the trade is settled in accordance with market or exchange rules even if one or both of the buyer and seller become insolvent in the meantime. Generally, clearing involves a highly capitalized central counterparty or clearing house which participates in every trade, acting as the buyer for every seller and the seller for every buyer. Accordingly, market participants don't bear each other's credit risk but instead they bear the credit risk of the central counterparty.
1. In an exchange's trading session, the period defined by occurring at the end of each trading session wherein any transactions are considered to be made "at the close".
2. The last price at which a security trades during a trading session and reported in the financial media. Also known as "closing price", it is the price used in determining the price of the contents of investment portfolios.
A product which has value and uniform quality, items of which from different producers are considered equivalent to each other. Examples include gold, rice, corn and even computer memory chips and generic pharmaceuticals – anything for which there is demand and an agreed standard to define what is being traded. Historically, corn produced in the American Midwest was shipped to buyers in burlap sacking that identified the farm it came from. Over time, the corn became commoditized, beginning in 1865, when the Chicago Board of Trade issued standards for a grading system making any No. 2 corn the equal of any other No. 2 corn.
1. Action to comply with rules and regulations.
2. A department responsible for ensuring the maintenance and adherence by Members to the rules and regulations of an exchange.
1. A market condition in which SHORT attempting to buy in the market to cover their positions are unable to find enough contracts provided by LONG willing to liquidate or by new sellers willing to enter the market without seeing sharply higher prices.
2. In TECHNICAL ANALYSIS, a period of trading characterized by directionless, repetitious and limited price changes.
1. A term of reference describing a unit of trading for a commodity future or option, e.g. Fuel Oil CST180 futures contract.
2. A binding agreement to buy or sell a specified commodity, detailing the amount and grade of the product and the date on which the contract will mature and become deliverable.
1. An OPTION strategy in which a delta-neutral ARBITRAGE transaction combines a LONG FUTURE contract with a long PUT OPTION and a CALL OPTION, both of which have the same STRIKE PRICE and expiration date.
2. A feature of some BOND (convertible bonds) and preferred equity issues allowing the holder to convert his bond or preferred stock into common stock.
1. The differential between the price of crude oil and the petroleum products which can be extracted from it.
2. the profit margin a refinery might expect to make by "cracking" the crude.
3. A specific spread trade involving simultaneous buying and selling of contracts in crude oil and one or more derivative products, such as heating oil or gasoline. The crack spread is often used by refineries to hedge the price risk of their operations while a speculator would trade it in a bid to profit from a (likely brief) mis-correspondence in relative pricing between crude and its products. Any combination of energy futures can be used, provided that the number of crude contracts equals the number of product contracts; the most common crack ratios are 3:2:1, 2:1:1 and 5:3:2 where the last two digits refer to two different refined products and the first refers to the crude. These spread differentials which represent refining margins are normally quoted in dollars per barrel by converting the product prices into dollars per barrel and subtracting the crude oil price.
The price established by the Exchange settlement committee at the close of each trading session as the official price to be used by the clearinghouse in determining net gains or losses, margin requirements, and the next day's price limits. The term "settlement price" is often used as an approximate equivalent to the term "closing price." The close in futures trading refers to a brief period at the end of the day, during which transactions frequently take place quickly and at a range of prices immediately before the bell. Therefore, there frequently is no single closing price, but a range of prices. In months with significant activity, the settlement price is derived by calculating the weighted average of the prices at which trades were conducted during that period.
1. The desire to own something and the means to pay for it.
2. The amount of an economic good or service that consumers want to purchase at a given price, generally resulting in greater purchases in response to lower prices.

A fraction obtained from petroleum distillation, either as a distillate or a residue and made up of long hydrocarbon chains, particularly alkanes, cycloalkanes and aromatics; any liquid petroleum product burned in a boiler to produce heat or generate power except oils which have a flash point of 40°C or lower; also used in a stricter sense to denote only the heaviest commercial fuel that can be distilled from petroleum. Fuel oil is divided into six classes according to boiling point, composition and purpose. Boiling point, viscosity and carbon chain length increase with fuel oil number while price generally decreases.
2. Residual fuel oil, a heavy fuel used in large commercial, industrial and electric utility boilers, which is classified as No. 6 fuel in the U.S.

1. Ratio of the value of futures contracts purchased or sold to the value of the cash commodity being hedged, a computation necessary to minimize basis risk.

For example, if a $1/barrel change in the underlying futures price leads to a $0.25/barrel change in the options premium, the hedge ratio is four (four options for each futures contract).
A future exchange may release indicative prices for its futures contracts at certain points of the day. The purpose is to provide market users with an indicative price based on transactions which will facilitate comparison with other regional futures contracts. The indicative price is calculated using the same methodology employed in calculating daily settlement prices. It is not used for margining purposes or for settlement purposes. This indicative price is not necessarily a traded price.

2. Initial margin is the minimum deposit per contract required when a FUTURES position is opened.
3. Maintenance margin is a sum which must be maintained on deposit at all times. If the equity in a customers' account drops to, or under, that level because of an adverse price movement, the CLEARING MEMBER must issue a margin call to restore the customers' equity. Margins are set by the EXCHANGE based on its analysis of price risk volatility in the market at that time. (See VARIATION MARGIN; REFINERY MARGIN.)

2. The date on which a bond issuer is required to pay principal owed and any coupons due.

What prevents a miner's block from being accepted across the network if the hash checks out when miner forges transactions in the block?
For example, lets say I'm mining and I want to steal money from address A and put it into my address B. So I build a block with the A->B transaction along with some requested transactions. Now if I can compute a hash for the block before anyone else, and send off to peers in the network, how could they reject it? How would they know that's not a real transaction? Their NAT may have blocked that request or something.
I can't think of a good way of fixing this and I didn't find anything about in documentation. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks.

You couldn't wait for high school to be over. So it came as a shock when you entered the workplace and realized it was the same crap all over again (the cliques, the cliches, the competition).
That's life at Denver Memorial Hospital for intern Emily Owens (Mamie Gummer; she had a role on The Good Wife, but you might also recognize her as Meryl Streep's just-as-talented daughter). All Emily wants is to impress her boss (Necar Zadegan, The Event), date her med school crush (Justin Hartley, Smallville, Passions), and maybe save a few lives. Instead she finds herself head to head with high school nemesis Cassandra (newcomer Aja Naomi King) and feeling, basically, 16 all over again.
Catch the critically acclaimed sleeper hit Emily Owens, M.D. a full week before the television premiere at an exclusive free screening — and get the gift bags, snacks, and raffle prizes (a doctor bag-style leather purse, a snuggly blue scarf like the one Emily wears on the show) that go along with it.

January 15, 2013
A Monticello High School medical program is getting a big boost and a name change.
The Virginia Department of Education has designated the high school's health and medical science academy as a "Regional Governor's Health Services Academy."
Now the division will receive a $10,000 grant to help with the program. The academy will be open to all Albemarle County students interested in exploring health sciences career opportunities.
"It will really help me focus my view on what I'd like to be and during college I'll be able understand what I'm talking about a little bit more than some of the other students," said Charlie Wolfe, a 9th grade student. "I'll feel a little more comfortable in the other classes."
An industry study by Albemarle County this past year identified the health and medical device industries as being a top economic development priority based upon the potential for higher-paying employment growth.
"As our population ages and with the expansion of access to medical care, health and medical care professions not only will be a source of employment, but also for high quality medical care delivery," said Katina Dudley, who is the academy's director.
Applications to attend the academy in the 2013-14 school year are being accepted through Friday, January 18. More information can be found Here

Kidney Disease Research Updates
Spring 2010
No Link between Kidney Stones and Gastric Banding
According to a study supported by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), gastric banding-a surgical procedure that reduces the size of the stomach-does not increase the risk of kidney stones.
Gastric banding is one of several bariatric surgeries used to treat obesity. These surgeries are becoming more common due to surgical innovations, greater availability, and rising obesity rates. An estimated 30 percent of American adults are obese with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher. BMI is a measure of weight in relation to height. Although initially reserved for people with extreme obesity-those with a BMI of 40 or higher-bariatric surgery's effectiveness in helping people shed pounds, reverse cardiovascular disease risk factors, and, in some cases, eliminate type 2 diabetes has caused doctors to consider it as a therapy for people with milder obesity.
Bariatric Surgery
The two most common bariatric procedures, gastric banding and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), help patients achieve significant weight loss and are relatively safe in the short term, according to the NIDDK-funded Longitudinal Assessment of Bariatric Surgery study. In gastric banding, the surgeon places an adjustable band around the top portion of the stomach, thereby limiting food intake. RYGB limits food intake by reducing the size of the stomach and diverting food around the lower portion of the stomach and part of the small intestine, reducing the body's ability to absorb calories.
The long-term risks of bariatric surgery are still under investigation. Studies have shown that RYGB increases the risk of kidney stone formation as soon as 6 months after surgery. Other studies have found higher urinary oxalate levels among people who underwent RYGB or similar gastric bypass procedures, compared with controls that had no surgery. Along with limiting the absorption of food, RYGB also limits the absorption of fat, which is shuttled to the colon where it may facilitate the absorption of oxalate-a salt cleared by the kidneys and a major constituent of kidney stones. Michelle J. Semins, M.D., senior resident in urology at The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, and colleagues wanted to learn whether a similar risk was associated with gastric banding.
"As a consequence of the efficacy of bariatric surgery, the past decade has witnessed a 10-fold increase in these procedures," wrote Semins and colleagues in a report in the August 15, 2009, online issue of Urology. "Until our present analysis, though, the effect of gastric banding on kidney stone disease has never been described."
Gastric Banding
The researchers compared the prevalence of kidney stone disease between two similar groups of obese individuals: one had gastric banding surgery and the other received no bariatric surgery. The average age in both groups was 46 years and about 80 percent of participants were female. Excluded were individuals with prior kidney disease, including kidney stones.
Whereas previous studies of RYGB patients showed a higher prevalence of kidney stones compared with controls, the present study showed the opposite. Two years after gastric banding, 1.49 percent of participants in the surgery group had been diagnosed with kidney stones, compared with 5.97 percent of control group participants. One participant from each group underwent a urological procedure to treat the stones.
The researchers speculated the significantly lower prevalence of kidney stones in the gastric banding group may have been a result of weight loss, as obesity is an independent risk factor for kidney stone disease. A lower BMI would, presumably, decrease kidney stone risk.
"In one sense, the present study is a negative one, in that it failed to demonstrate an increase in the prevalence of stone disease after gastric banding," wrote Semins, et al. "However, in this clinical situation such negative data are particularly necessary." Armed with these data, health care providers are better suited to help patients-especially those with a history of kidney stone disease-weigh the risks and benefits of bariatric surgery.
Semins and colleagues urged larger and longer follow-up studies to verify their findings. Since the publication by Semins, et al., a retrospective, epidemiological study supporting their findings was published by Penniston and colleagues in the November 2009 issue of The Journal of Urology. Urology will soon publish a second article about gastric banding by Semins, et al.
The study was funded by the Hariri Family Foundation and Mr. and Mrs. Chad and Nissa Richinson.

Minneapolis — At long last, the shots fell for the Nebraska women's basketball team. Perhaps because, at long last, NU attacked an opposing defense instead waiting for a weakness to present itself.
Both happened just in time to snap a two-game skid and grab a crucial Big Ten road win. The Huskers ran with Minnesota for a half, then ran away from the Gophers for an 84-63 rout at Williams Arena.
NU hit 48 percent of its shots, including 53 percent from 3-point range. Guards Lindsey Moore and Rachel Theriot combined for 39 points and 15 assists. Forwards Jordan Hooper and Emily Cady ran the floor and found open spots in Minnesota's zone defense.
The quartet help turn a 50-44 lead midway through the second half into a blowout with an 11-0 run. When the Gophers tried to shoot their way back into contention, the Huskers (13-6, 3-3 Big Ten) consistently had an answer.
"We were aggressive in transition, we were aggressive driving the ball, and that looked a little like the Husker basketball of last year," coach Connie Yori said on her postgame radio show.
It did not look like NU's recent, ugly loss at home to Illinois. Against the Illini, the Huskers passed up opportunities to penetrate the lane to throw it around the 3-point arc.
Sunday, Nebraska shot eight more free throws than 3-pointers. Cady and Moore each reached the line seven times.
Nebraska also limited the taller, more athletic Gophers (13-6, 2-3) to 11 offensive rebounds.
"When we rebounded, we got it out, we pushed it ahead, we attacked," Yori said.
Moore finished with a game-high 26 points that included several flashy layups. Theriot — a talented freshman whom Yori has kept in the starting lineup to gain experience — had 13 points and eight assists. She knocked down three 3-pointers.
"Rachel did a fabulous job tonight taking care of the ball and knocking down shots," Moore said.
The Huskers mostly scrapped their man defense in favor of a zone that appeared to surprise the Gophers. Minnesota guard Rachel Banham — who came into the game averaging more than 20 points and scored 39 earlier this year against Creighton — was held to 15. She made 6 of 21 shots.
NU moved back into a tie for sixth in the Big Ten. The Huskers play Michigan State on Thursday.
