Canthoxanthine feed additives given to farmed fish may be linked to a condition in consumers called gold dust retinopathy.
Is Cod Liver Oil Good For You?
Even distilled cod liver oil supplements may have toxic levels of vitamin A.
Canthoxanthine feed additives given to farmed fish may be linked to a condition in consumers called gold dust retinopathy.
The contaminants I've been talking about are just from how polluted our planet has become; it's not like they're deliberately adding them to the fish. But fish farmers do feed about two dozen human antibiotics to their fish to help keep them alive in such stressful, overcrowded environments. They also had to figure out a way to make grayish fish flesh look pink, which it is naturally when pulled out of the ocean. So the aquaculture industry feeds farmed fish artificial coloring.
This is from the drug company Roche. Fish farmers get to pick out the color they want to dye their flesh like paint chips. The human health consequences? You can get a rare condition called gold dust retinopathy, as the coloring potentially crystallizes in the back of your eyeball, which can potentially lead to problems down the road.

Where can I get more information about this?
I have a patient that has an ostomy and essentially no intestines left after years of surgeries and stomal hernias and is now unable to heal an abcess near the stoma. I'm trying to encourage her on a plant based diet, but she tells me she can't eat many veggies or fruit due to the fiber and it causes pain, blockages, fills up the bag and creates problems for her to maintain that properly. Brown rice is out due to the hulls and she basically eat very western food b/c it is so devoid of anything healthy she can handle it. I have her taking Juice Plus+ and she is getting good results regarding energy and her hair growing back in thicker and she feels she's able to absorb nutrition from that. How can a person in her situation go plant based and how do I best direct her to understand or read about acidity/alkalinity concerns etc.
Astaxanthin is the pigment used. Its the same natural pigment found in shrimp, lobster, crab, krill, and wild salmon flesh. You can buy it at vitamin shops in pill form; it's a powerful antioxidant and relatively expensive. I see no problem (and a number of benefits) with this unless, like any natural substance, you consume way tto much.
Astaxanthin pigment in farmed salmon is the same pigment in wild salmon. As it turns out its a highly desirable antioxidant. You can buy it at health food stores and pharmacies (its expensive). Or you can eat any type of salmon.
Even distilled cod liver oil supplements may have toxic levels of vitamin A.
Much of our fish supply is so polluted that algae-derived sources of long chain omega-3 fatty acids may be safest option.

"Very Poorly Managed, Buyer Beware..."
The hotel was doing construction and upgrading some rooms, which is good. However, the construction was still going on at 10:30 pm right above my room, with hammering and loud banging. I called the front desk and was told "my manager paid them to work through the night, so there is nothing I can do". I explained that I would then call the police to […] ask them stop the construction, to which she replied "don't you threaten me." In any case, the police idea worked and the construction stopped before 11:00 pm ... of course it started right up again at 7:00 am. Of course, this may not happen to you if you decide to stay there, but I think it demonstrates a very poor attitude on the part of management and their consideration for their guests.

"Great value"
Excellent room for the price. Very comfortable and roomy. The king bed was excellent. We'll visit again for sure.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great place for the $$"
Just needed a cheep place to stay in Newport. Hotel room was clean, large and comfortable! I would stay again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Comfortable stay."
We were upgraded and that made the stay even nicer. Staff helpful and friendly. Only big drawback was the one tiny sink in bathroom and no sink in kitchenette area or other dressing area.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Overnighter pre-blizzard"
Stay overall was pleasant. Room was immaculate & bed(s) VERY comfy. Complimentary buffet style breakfast across street at sister hotel was good & they had great coffee. I mention the hot coffee, as this was the morning recent blizzard began! The only 2 complaints i had was when i got to my room, it was very cold & took hours for heat on highest setting […] to bring it to comfortable temp. I know it is off season & was only in teens outside, but someone could have put heat on knowing i was arriving. Other thing was some of tv stations were 'normal' channels, yet were translating into spanish! Found a couple i could deal with, but if not an overnight stay, could see where this may be annoying.

"to cold to stay in hotel no heat had to leave"
It was freezing in our room couldn't stay in it. Came back hours later after we had to turn the heat on and it was still cold. Left in middle of the night.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"great location"
great locationGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Front Desk Problem"
The front desk lady had a bad attitude. Called down twice hung up on me twice about HBO once she listened and call their cable company, we learned that they didn't have HBO. Very Clean but our room had holes in the walls. Two beds leave no room for lounging. But the lady that check us out was excellent.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Ok for overnight stay"
It is fine for an overnight stay.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"A nice stay"
ExcellentGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great hotel but don't bother with the pool"
Great hotel, great location, beautiful water-view room! Just don't go there for the pool. It's across the street, small, and unheated! The free breakfast was ok, but not as good as most.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great location"
Always enjoy staying here- great location!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"clean and functional"
Decor is definitely dated but the room was clean and spacious, staff friendly and a water view was a bonus.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Winter Get-away"
Heading for the Newport, RI mansions, we looked for an affordable, comfortable and clean hotel. We found it - the Atlantic Beach Hotel in Middleton. The suite was small, but comfortable and the king bed provided a sound night's sleep. For a two-digit room rate it was well worth it. Would stay there again.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Always welcoming"
I keep coming back because of the staff and the facility. It is comfortable, clean, and very convenient to any place in Newport.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Good value and clean room"
Good value, big room, nice bed, cleanGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Hotel was overbooked. After speaking with expedia they thought they had cleared everything with the hotel. Turns out that they had not. Ended up getting a room anyway and the hotel pushed someone else out. Room was outdated and somewhat uncomfortable (especially the bed).Genuine Expedia guest review
"Thanksgiving Visit 2014"
Fairly comfortable, room had all of the necessary amenities. Room furniture was very outdated however. All of the chairs inside the room were stained, and extremely worn down. Bed seemed okay however. Housekeeping, considering the age of the furniture, bathroom fixtures, etc., maintained a very clean and seemingly sanitary appearance. The room I booked […] was very quiet and allowed for a good nights rest. I did enjoy the daily newspaper slid under my door each morning. I did not partake in the complimentary breakfast, so I will not comment. The hotel staff was friendly during check-in. Free parking, walking distance to beach. Very close to numerous attractions as well. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
When we got to the hotel it was "overbooked" so they gave us a room at a different hotel. The initial room had more amenities than the room we ended up with. So this review is based off the Comfort Inn Newport across the street from Atlantic Beach Club.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Atlantic beach club hotel"
My fiancé and I stayed here for an overnight in November , the hotel was right across from the beach with beautiful views. And was perfect for a one night stayGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"A facelift needed"
the bed was comfy and clean but the building was gloomy. Carpet in our room was pulling away from the tile in the kitchen area, the tub corners were dirty and looked like mold. It was okay for the $55 we spent but not worth any more and not as expected by the high reviews. The front desk didn't tell us about any of the options to go to other nearby […] hotels for their services so I'm glad I had known this ahead of time. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Friendly people, friendly place"
The staff is great. I look forward to my stays. Very welcoming.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Pretty good stay."
They treated me excellently; nice folks.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Weekend getaway"
Awesome room! Loved the king room, and the bed was so comfy!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
We had a fantastic 2 night stay at this Hotel in Midtown location close to beach and restaurants, large very comfortable rooms, extremely comfortable beds, spotlessly clean with complimentary breakfast. Courteous and friendly staff, particularly Jen at Reception who was extremely obliging and helpful.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"great spot nice rooms"
Great location close to downtown specials online often stayed here several timesGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice Hotel Unfortunate Location"
Nice hotel, clean, nicely sized rooms. Unfortunately it is located near bar that plays very loud music until midnight.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Fine accomodation for the price"
Convenient location to beach, adequate restaurants and bars within walking distance. Would stay again. Free breakfast was pathetic.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Not Impressed with the staff welcome!"
We did not like the fact that there was a live band playing in what must have been one of the bars, next door, on Friday night.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Ideal location for all that Newport has to offer."
I would stay here again. This is my third time. The location is ideal to easily get to all that Newport has to offer. Beach across the beach. Lots of restaurants within an easy drive. Near the Cliff Walk and Mansion's Row...and just a short distance from all the shops, restaurants and boutiques in downtown Newport. Very satisfactory stay. Quality of […] service was excellent. Room was clean and roomy. Desk clerks helpful. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Room with a view"
Our room had a lovely little view of the water, when you sat on your bed and looked out it had a peaceful calming effect, so welcoming after hectic days or nights. Close enough to the Cliff walk, whether strolling or jogging, the view from that exercise facility can't be beat! Overall I was quietly satisfied with my stay.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Its not directly on beach but its an ok place to stay if you are looking for just a room.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Friendly, helpful staff, close to the beach."
Close to restaurants, bars, beach and center. Needs updating. Furniture scratched some lights not working, however staff very friendly. Our room was upgraded to a suite prior to our arrival without asking! Very nice.Genuine Expedia guest review
It was only 1 night but was greatGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Friend reunion"
The Atlantic Beach Hotel & Suites has become my favorite place to stay in Newport. The location is ideal. It is away from the crowds, across from the beach, surrounded by good restaurants (Flo's Clam Shake is right next door) and an easy walk to tourist attractions, even to reach the harbor and Thames St. The rooms are comfortable and clean and the […] suite of rooms is great. Added pluses: the morning breakfast spread and the helpful and welcoming staff. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great location. Great value"
Always stay here. Summer or Fall this hotel is the best value in this area by far.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Worth its price plus!"
Great hotel and very clean. Just one tiny complaint. The carpet in the rooms had a very bad old smell... otherwise definitely 5not stars...Genuine Expedia guest review
Terrible view, low ceilings (7 ft.) A "continental breakfast" of Cheerios or microwaved sausages and pancakes. Coffee or no other beverage. No pastry. Everybody would be happier if there was no continental breakfast offered.Genuine Expedia guest review
nice hotel, convenient to beach and Newport. Room was quiet, but didn't have any view.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Atlantic beach hotel"
Great hotel, very spacious!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
The hotel was nice, the room large and the location perfect for beach access. There were restaurants within walking distance and the cliff walk was close by.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"very nice place"
Our room was clean, bed was great. The rooms need an update but it was a very nice comfortable place. Would come vack again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Beautiful pond view"
Huge room for the price. Nice linens. Way below posted prices. Old fashioned TV but for that price?Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Close to the beach"
Wish we could have stayed longer then one night. Great location and a great price. Staff was friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay here again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Large room and close to cliff walk"
Nice hotel close to the beach and cliff walk. Large room with separate living and bedroom area. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Short walk to tennis hall of fame and mansions or short ride to downtown Newport. Great restaurants across the street and the beach is steps away. I stay here often when visiting my daughter at Salve Regina Universi […] ty. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"especially good"
The accommodations was excellent. Close to everything including the beach. Staff was helpful and professional. My wife and I would encourage any to stay at your facility. We would choose you first for another stay. It was wonderful thanks.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"good except for noise of band in bar next door"
room itself was good, bed was comfortable,and location to beach and newport was great. The bad part was wi fi was poor to not working at times, the bar next door was loud to about 1 am, and the toilet had problems.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Taking a step back into Spring Break"
Well, it wasn't the worst place I've ever stayed in, but I can confidently say I won't be staying here again even if it was free. Hotel staff was nice, but accommodations are old and/or broken (the sofa-bed in our room), free breakfast not worth it, and overall disappointing. This is the kind of room I would have stayed in with 5 other friends during […] Spring Break when I didn't care if someone puked all over the bathroom. I thought it would be a safe place for a one-night getaway in the off-season, but I should have gone with my gut and stayed somewhere else. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Great deal"
Room was cleaned but had weird old smell. Opened windows n smell was gone. Bed was incredibly comfy. Both tvs were from the 1980's n picture was awful. Lady at front desk was great. For the price of $70 a night it was a good deal but i might look to stay at a more updated hotel on our next trip.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

In a follow-up to the last column (see "A Guide To Treating Ankle Sprains From Start To Finish, pg. 92, June issue), I would like to discuss common secondary injuries that often occur in relation to ankle injuries, especially sprains. One of the most common and often misdiagnosed secondary complications of ankle sprains is a tear or injury to the peroneal tendon(s). Since the tendons are in such close proximity to the lateral ankle and the lateral ankle is most often injured during a sprain, there is a tendency to perceive the two painful regions as on ... continue reading

Charcot's arthropathy is a devastating complication of diabetes mellitus that frequently leads to permanent disability, ulceration and amputation. It is a rapidly progressive and severe form of arthritis. Researchers have equated the acute Charcot foot to a medical emergency since therapies are available that may alter its natural history.1 Unfortunately, the pathophysiology and development are poorly understood. This is frequently complicated by a delay in diagnosis until bony destruction is visible on plain radiographs. This delay often leads to worse outcome ... continue reading

The balance between technology and clinical practice is difficult to obtain. In the past, technology lagged far behind. Innovative thought and technique was stymied by the inability to develop practical instrumentation and implants. In recent years, however, the opposite effect has occurred. New materials and devices have inundated the marketplace. While these devices have been demonstrated to be safe, they are not necessarily any more efficacious and are certainly more costly than existing products. Indeed, practitioners must be vigilant in evaluating t ... continue reading

I am taking another short break from podiatry, the job I love. Being a small town DPM provides lots of perks but it can also drive a person nuts. Last Thursday was the day from hell. It started with two difficult surgeries. One was a lady with hallux valgus who was in for her third operation. The first two attempts with me as the surgeon had failed miserably. I asked why she was going to trust me for a third attempt. She told me I knew her expectation better than anyone else. Performing that surgery was like walking the plank. T ... continue reading

Wound healing is a process that involves the stages of coagulation, inflammation, cell proliferation and repair of the matrix, epithelialization and remodeling of the scar tissue. These stages overlap and the entire process can last for months.1 During the post-injury coagulation phase, platelets initiate the wound healing process by releasing a number of soluble mediators including platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), epidermal growth factor (EGF), fibroblast growth factor (FGF), and transforming growt ... continue reading

In all walks of life, we see and encounter people with varying levels of ambition. Some folks strive to reach overarching goals and wind up taking on way more than they can handle in the pursuit of a greater good. They lead by example, they are always thinking of how to improve things and wind up investing a significant amount of time toward achieving fundamental changes. These folks are also not afraid to ruffle a few feathers along the way. You also see folks I like to call "political climbers." They are also smart, driven people but tend to be ... continue reading

A recent study run by online business networking service www.MeettheBoss.com shows that executives are spending an extra 11 hours a month online sharing their professional experiences and learning from their peers.
The survey asked its executive users what direct value they gained from spending time running blogs, writing tweets and connecting with other executives on sites such as LinkedIn, Xing, MeettheBoss, Ryze, Facebook, Ulitzer and Twitter.
The answers revealed that executives proficient with online activities are spending an average of 11 hours more per month online than this time last year – and over 90% of respondents said they felt their time online was 'very valuable' to their daily role.
Professionals are rushing to the Web for immediate answers to their most pressing questions. "I find online business networking very useful," says MeettheBoss member Oliver Bruns, Head of Polyurethanes at Bayer Material Sciences. "It allows me to create or join a discussion and get immediate answers and experiences from like-minded professionals on issues such as regulation or technology."
"Everyone knows that building contacts in the industry can strengthen your career prospects, but sharing your knowledge with the world is a very effective personal branding exercise," says Adam Burns, Editor-in-Chief of online business channel, MeettheBoss.TV.
Many thought leaders agree with him. Manfred Fitzgerald, Director of Brand & Design at Lamborghini, Vinton Cerf, Chief Internet Evangelist at Google, Werner Vogels, CTO, Amazon and Tony Hsieh, CEO of Zappos, have all shared their expertise on the site.
"Sites like MeettheBoss are a great help as they aggregate all the information I need to start my day. It is a new, modern, convenient networking and information platform," says MeettheBoss member, Detlef Guenther, CISO at Volkswagen.
Though most experts agree there is no substitute for face-to-face networking, using social media tools correctly can bring substantial return on your time investment. You can become a thought leader in your niche environment overnight and even pull business to your door. The challenge is finding the best one for you.

RE/P Files: Construction Of A Live Echo Chamber

Back to first page.
When I was at Crosswinds, we did a Saturday night service (that was preceded by a afternoon rehearsal), and two services on Sunday morning. By the time we got to Saturday night's service, the room was warmed up and we had snuck up on a good mix.
In the morning, however, it could be 10 degrees cooler in the room. The earlier service was often lighter in attendance. In the summer it was more humid, in the winter it was drier. When we started up in the morning, everything was different.
Then came the later service. After getting the early morning service on track, the whole mix was shot for the live walk in at the 10:45. What happened? Everything changed. The room was now warmed up, and full.
You see, having a digital board doesn't take away the responsibility to conduct a proper sound check. It doesn't free the engineer from having to mix. It doesn't allow the musicians to not communicate what they want in their mixes. Even with a digital board, there's a lot of work to do.
Don't get me wrong, I really like having a digital console. It enables us to quickly switch from one type of service to the next without a lot of re-patching. But really, that's it.
The settings we recall each week are nothing more than a starting point. In fact, I've been advocating that our starting points start with zeroed out gain and monitor settings. Why? So those get done each week the right way.
At first, that may seem like it's counter-intuitive, going backwards from having a baseline of last week's "good mix." I'll say it again; this week is not last week. Even if the band is the exact same week to week, stuff changes.
In fact, the only time I would advocate starting with last week's set up is if the entire band was exactly the same. Then and only then could you even consider it. If only one instrument or vocalist changes, you are better off starting from scratch. Still, I would argue that you're better off starting from scratch each week (from a gain and monitor standpoint anyway) all the time.
So what about EQ? What about it? It changes with time also. Think you have a guitar dialed in exactly this week? Guess what, if the guitarist plays during the week, it's going to sound different come next Sunday.
Same with vocals. Very few singers can perfectly replicate the same vocal performance week after week. Not to mention the fact that room is going to vary based on temperature, humidity, loading, etc..
So am I completely dismissing the recallable set ups of digital boards? Not at all. Just don't buy into the myth that if you save this weekend's settings it will all be the same next week. 'Cause it won't.
Don't think that if you spend $20,000-$50,000 on a digital board that any monkey can sit back there and make great sounding mixes after someone who knows what they're doing has "set it all up."
There is still no substitute for a good mix engineer, and for ongoing training to make them better. And if the person who is sitting behind the mixing desk week to week can't hear the difference between a good mix and a bad one, no amount of digital recall-ability is going to fix that.

Carolyn SeeSome people write about death, dying and tragedy as if they were death, dying and tragedy. Others—God bless them—just don't carry the genes for drama or melodrama; they look at the world with all its flaws and suffering, and something about the situation strikes them funny…This is a plot-heavy book…But The Night Counter is also lighthearted, full of silly plays on words and comedic errors. In this easy-seeming way, the author aims, without being in any way preachy about it, to give us a short history of the Middle East and the Muslim faith in America—to say: Don't be so quick to misunderstand us; we are, in so many of the ways detailed here, the same as you. She succeeds, very gracefully.

These Can't Be Choices
Reviewed by
Chris Henning
Engaging dialogue propels this story forward and reveals character as well as mystery.
Reconciliation, redemption, and reparation are among the motifs Cori Cooper Di Biase threads throughout his debut novel, These Can't Be Choices, but so unforgiving and unrelenting are his characters' lives that they begin to resemble faded, worn tapestries—depleted by life experiences rather than enriched.
Ben, a forty-something mechanic, lives in Washington, DC, a surprising choice for the story's setting since his chief goal—and not by choice—is to hide out in plain sight. Could there be a busier, more surveilled location than the United States capital?
The story is told from Ben's point of view via flashbacks from his early life, his chaotic childhood, and the cruelties he endured at school, all of which is layered between narratives depicting his current situation. This back-and-forth technique, however, distracts and makes Ben appear even more off-kilter, perhaps, than Di Biase intended. And, instead of adding to the picture of what contributed to Ben's horrific reality (which is kept under wraps until near the book's end) the pile-on of flashbacks-within-flashbacks force the story into a stall—stuck in Ben's head for a good part of the novel.
Intriguing characters, interesting scenes, and compelling dialogue all help bring the story to life, as when Di Biase shows Ben and his coworkers discussing a family's murder from the previous night. Tony argues that someone who kills for no reason isn't right from the start:
"That don't happen to just anybody, you know? It's only gonna happen to some dude who has something deep down wrong with him. Right from day one. The kind of dudes that do that are wrong from the start.'…
'What? So you let him go?'
'Whattaya mean, let 'em go? Who said I'm letting 'em go?'…
'Well, if they've got it so bad…If they can't help it?…If you put me in a trance or mind control or some shit and I go out and rob you, you can't come and convict me now, right?'
'Why I'm gonna put a trance on you to make you rob me?'"
This cadenced conversation engages, and the dialogue advances the story when Ben reacts by steering the talk away from murder. The novel isn't intended to be a mystery, so there's no reason to stay silent on why Ben was imprisoned; this background has surely affected who he has become and what he's seeking now.
From the get-go, there appears little chance of redemption for these characters, less reason to hope. They're tired, worn out, willing to stay put. Even Ben says, about himself, "People saw him, but they didn't. They didn't look…They left him alone." The writer's choice of intertwining hopeless, despairing, and despondent people with the plot remains unexplained.
The paperback is a non-standard five-by-seven-inch book, its cover draped in a dark image that lends a sense of foreboding. The back cover copy is cryptic, mentioning Ben's "impossible crime," a curious but meaningless description for murder.
Di Biase's writing does have an underlying energy that engages when allowed to breathe. At times, his prose sings: "He imagined what there would be if he could pull away the skin of the earth."
These Can't Be Choices may be the perfect read for those who don't mind complex allegories or books whose characters won't necessarily find redemption or a happily ever after.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) will recruit more soldiers to enhance its counter-terrorism activities.
In an interview on ANC's Headstart, AFP Chief of Staff Gen. Emmanuel Bautista said, the military aims to hire 20,000 troops in three-years.
"We're training new soldiers. We're also expanding our units...We have a lot of catching up to do...[to replace] those who are retiring," he said.
Despite a steady increase in the country's population, there has been no increase in the number of soldiers over a long period.
The planned increase in the AFP's manpower will require a supplemental budget of P7 to 10 billion, Bautista said.
