The temperature has dropped, the days are noticeably shorter and suddenly salad does not seem like such an appealing lunch option – bring on the soups, I say.
It may surprise you to hear that not only are soups a great option nutritionally but certain types of soup have also been proven to help support weight loss, so let's get that soup pot out and get chopping!
Soup, particularly vegetable based soups are a great option nutritionally as they combine a high nutrient density with a low energy density and this means that we get lots of key nutrients including vitamins and minerals for relatively few calories.
At a time in which foods with a high energy density and low nutrient density such as white bread, snack foods, sugar based drinks and high fat fast foods dominate our intake, a low calorie option that fills us up is gold standard when it comes to foods that need to be regularly included in the diet.
And this benefit is proven. Studies have repeatedly shown that when diners consume a low calorie vegetable based soup before their main meal that they consume up to 20% fewer calories at a meal. The reason is not complex, basically the bulk of the soup helps to fill us up so we eat less.
Nutritionally this is too beneficial as the nutrients found in vegetables including many water soluble vitamins such as vitamin B, C, K as well as dietary fibre and a range of minerals also helps to regulate the digestive tract and ensure that we get the number of key nutrients we need each and every day.
On top of that we can also add in an extra benefit of eating soup from a weight and fluid retention perspective; soups that have a base of leeks, onions and celery are also particularly high in the mineral potassium. As potassium helps to bind excess sodium, it helps to rid the body of excess fluid.
As many of us carry fluid and regularly feel bloated thanks to a high salt diet and a lack of activity, dropping as little as 500g of body weight after a few vegetable soups, even if it is just fluid can make us feel lighter and leaner instantly.
Soup can be a simple meal addition - a way to ensure that the family gets all of their vegetables and nutrition; a filling afternoon snack or an entire lunch or light evening meal, especially when beans, potato or sweet potato are the base providing heavier carbs as well as chicken, lean sausage or some mincemeat for protein.
It is important to remember that rice, noodles, legumes and pasta do add considerable carbohydrates and calories to your soup and are likely to negate any weight loss benefits. On the other hand, broth style, vegetable based soups have virtually no calories and can be consumed relatively freely (but of course you do need to count any bread!).
While bulking meals up with low calorie options such as vegetable soup on a regular basis is a great way to load up on nutrition in general, for those wanting to drop a couple of kilograms quickly, replacing the evening meal with a vegetable based soup is a safe way to do it.
The low energy content helps to keep your total calorie intake low, while the bulk prevents you from feeling hungry and deprived the way you would if you were eating very little on a regular diet, or using meal replacement shakes.
For those wanting a more intense regime, a vegetable soup can replace 2 meals a day for 5-7 days without any negative side effects. Although much of the weight loss will be fluid, sometimes this is all we need to feel leaner and healthier is a flatter stomach and a kg or two less on the scales.
Naturally homemade soups are the best option. This way you can control the type and amounts of vegetables that you use to make your soup as well as choosing to use salt reduced stocks and few other additives.
Pre-made soups and packet soup mixes tend to be exceptionally high in sodium (salt) with the average packet soup containing a massive 800-1200mg of sodium or 1/3-1/2 of your total daily salt limit.
Premade soups also tend to be relatively low in protein and high in carbohydrate thanks to their base being potato starch. If you must seek out a pre-made soup option, look for varieties that contain less than 20g total carbohydrates per serve and less than 800mg of sodium.

Really appreciate your articles here Susie.
The amount of misleading information given to consumers these days about food is scary. Given the current obesity epidemic, education is the only hope we really have to stop a massive blowout in healthcare costs.
There are many "low fat" products which have a higher energy content than a full fat equivalent because of the increased amount of sugar. Once raised this with my housemate who said she didn't care about the energy, only the fat. My arguments against this fell on deaf ears. She later went on a low carb diet, tried telling her that sugar was a carbohydrate, her response "no, carbs are things like bread, rice and potatoes"
The sad fact is that in the battle between marketing departments and health professionals, marketing is winning.
Sam says:
Also, soup helps keep the fluids up, which is very important when you're fighting viruses like the ones going around for the past couple of weeks.
Fiona says:
Good article, BUT - why, why, WHY must everything about nutrition be about weight loss? We know that constantly dieting leads to weight GAIN and poor health, why can't nutrition articles simply be geared towards better HEALTH in the long term? Also, not all of us NEED to lose weight. There is just way too much obsession on a whole in society with dieting continuously and as we can see, it's actually made our problems generally worse.
Not to mention it would be nice for people to not feel constantly pressured to 'better' themselves physically. It would be refreshing for women in particular to be able to feel their bodies acceptable as they were.
Kate says:
Great article, Susie. Very motivating and down to earth. I love soup and it makes me feel good about how much I make in winter.
Kika says:
hey great idea! Haha. I always assume my lunch will be boring old Salad - but I could make a big soup on the weekend and dole it out over the week for my lunches with a nice crusty bun. YUM!
fairsfair says:
I wish we got soup weather up here. Sometimes it is nice to have for dinner in the height of the week of winter that we do get, but on your average winter's day salad still cuts it.
I used to love Pret a Manger in London for the soup. Oh god it was good, probably liquified lard but in the freezing temps nothing made you feel better than a nice bowl of soup.
Bring on winter I say - I am dying for those three days where you have to done a jumper for the morning. I think I might introduce it to my diet however I am finding it harder to keep my vegetable intake up lately (particularly at the evening meal), perhaps soup is the key. Maybe gespacho (?spelling?) is the secret.
The Soup Dragon says:
WHAT!! Soup is only for winter, uhg2bj. Soup is an economical, time saving, healthy food option and extremely tasty all year round. Buy fresh veg and decent stock cubes (some are great these days) in bulk, soupize it and freeze multiple meals. The recipe options are infinite and you can even soupize left overs. Even supermarkets have decent cook chill versions, wait till they get marked down then buy loads and freeze them. But never buy tinned or packet soups as they are not soups. With everyone claiming they are "soooooh busy darrrrhling" clever use of soup gives you back your life. You will start to recognise your children and visit your auntie in time to make it into her will. What a brilliant food it is , soup is the future and the future comes in a ladel at little cost. I've got a delicious 3 item celery soup for lunch, can't wait.
But if you love Maccas then you'd better stick with that.
Cedric says:
I earned a few bob playing the mouth organ a few days ago, a few oldies like Chattanooga Choo Choo, We'll Meet again, Ramona, In The Mood, and a few others what I forget, and some new ones like Pub With No Beer, The Goondiwindi Grey, etc, outside the CWA hall just before and after their meeting, which is why when I arrive in a country town, I put a few coins in the internet machine. Now a vege soup, as Susie describes is good tucker, but you can't beat a rabbit stew, cooked in the camp oven, with all the veges you can find. I usually go round the back of the restaurant to get the cabbage leaves, potato and pumpkin peelings, carrot and celery cutoffs, etc. I genally do well, but sometimes have to wait a week or so, while the butcher gets in some rabbits. No worries, a half handful of salt keeps the soup for 2 weeks. Anyway the folks like my rendition, and chuck a few coins in my hat. So, all in all, you got to have the veges, if you want to be in your 80's and more. And get some meat, what you can get.
baddog says:
Has anyone tried eating vegetable soup for 3 days straight? You won't be making any friends, that's all I'll say about that.
Terry says:
Every wintertime I make a 15L batch of fish soup and freeze it for lunches. The benefits surrounding this one pot wonder is astonishing and I am down to a healthy 130kg now. This recipe changed the way I look at lunchmeals and letting it defrost naturally releases more natural antibodies to fight off the winter sniffles.
miloinacup says:
I made my first vegetable soup the other week and it was omg delicious! I could never go back to canned soups now. One batch was enough to last over a week, and I added in some pasta to make it a bit more filling. Loved it.
stephen says:
I hate pumpkin and when I have a roast dinner I gotta con the chef/cook/dame to told them, and gimme 5 more roast spuds instead ... but I do like pumpkin in soups.
Recipe :
In a good tablespoon of butter saute, (posh word that, and better than 'cook') chopped celery and chopped leeks whites until golden brown - nah, just joking ... only until the stuff is opaque - then add lots of roughly chopped pumpkin, then add a litre of vegetable or beef stock and simmer for 12 minutes until cooked.
Do not puree, but mash with a wooden spoon, add some cream and a half teaspoon of nutmeg.
Stir through adding salt and pepper to taste.
This soup should have the consistency of a pasta paste - indeed, one could cook it as a main course, too - then add to bowls with sprigs of coriander.
Best with fresh fancy-pants bread and butter.Next week ... how to cook tripe.

Threading the barrel of the RNA exosome
Trends in Biochemical Sciences, Volume 38, Issue 10, 1 October 2013, Pages 485-493
Claudia Schneider and David Tollervey
AbstractIn eukaryotes, the exosome complex degrades RNA backbones and plays key roles in RNA processing and surveillance. It was predicted that RNA substrates are threaded through a central channel. This pathway is conserved between eukaryotic and archaeal complexes, even though nuclease activity was lost from the nine-subunit eukaryotic core (EXO-9) and transferred to associated proteins. The exosome cooperates with nuclear and cytoplasmic cofactors, including RNA helicases Mtr4 and Ski2, respectively. Structures of an RNA-bound exosome and both helicases revealed how substrates are channeled through EXO-9 to the associated nuclease Rrp44. Recent high-throughput analyses provided fresh insights relating exosome structure to its diverse in vivo functions. They also revealed surprisingly high degradation rates for newly synthesized RNAs, particularly RNA polymerase III transcripts.

Nuclear noncoding RNA surveillance: is the end in sight?
Trends in Genetics, Volume 28, Issue 7, 1 July 2012, Pages 306-313
Sandra L. Wolin, Soyeong Sim and Xinguo Chen
AbstractNuclear noncoding RNA (ncRNA) surveillance pathways play key roles in shaping the steady-state transcriptomes of eukaryotic cells. Defective and unneeded ncRNAs are primarily degraded by exoribonucleases that rely on protein cofactors to identify these RNAs. Recent studies have begun to elucidate both the mechanisms by which these cofactors recognize aberrant RNAs and the features that mark RNAs for degradation. One crucial RNA determinant is the presence of an accessible end; in addition, the failure of aberrant RNAs to fold into compact structures and assemble with specific binding proteins probably also contributes to their recognition and subsequent degradation. To date, ncRNA surveillance has been most extensively studied in budding yeast. However, mammalian cells possess nucleases and cofactors that have no known yeast counterparts, indicating that RNA surveillance pathways may be more complex in metazoans. Importantly, there is evidence that the failure of ncRNA surveillance pathways contributes to human disease.

Graphical Abstract
► Identification of the human Nuclear Exosome Targeting complex ► NEXT targets promoter upstream transcripts for exosomal degradation ► A putative human TRAMP complex is involved in rRNA degradation in nucleoli ► hMTR4 is a central activator of the human nuclear RNA exosome
- The RNA exosome is a conserved degradation machinery, which obtains full activity only when associated with cofactors. The most prominent activator of the yeast nuclear exosome is the RNA helicase Mtr4p, acting in the context of the Trf4p/Air2p/Mtr4p polyadenylation (TRAMP) complex. The existence of a similar activator(s) in humans remains elusive. By establishing an interaction network of the human nuclear exosome, we identify the trimeric Nuclear Exosome Targeting (NEXT) complex, containing hMTR4, the Zn-knuckle protein ZCCHC8, and the putative RNA binding protein RBM7. ZCCHC8 and RBM7 are excluded from nucleoli, and consistently NEXT is specifically required for the exosomal degradation of promoter upstream transcripts (PROMPTs). We also detect putative homolog TRAMP subunits hTRF4-2 (Trf4p) and ZCCHC7 (Air2p) in hRRP6 and hMTR4 precipitates. However, at least ZCCHC7 function is restricted to nucleoli. Our results suggest that human nuclear exosome degradation pathways comprise modules of spatially organized cofactors that diverge from the yeast model.

Belarus says will appeal EU, U.S. entry ban for govt. officials
MINSK, May 25 (RIA Novosti) - Belarus will appeal decisions by the European Union and the United States to deny state officials entry, a spokesman for the country's president said Thursday.
Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko said Tuesday that he had instructed the government to prepare appeals against the EU and the U.S. decisions in international courts.
"The legitimacy of such an instruction is obvious," Andrei Popov said. "The restrictions directly violate the principles of the Helsinki accords related to freedom of travel."
The U.S. and 25 EU member states have imposed the entry ban on the Belarus president and other top Belarusian officials following Lukashenko's landslide victory in the presidential election in March, which the U.S. and international observers said was flawed.
Benita Ferrero-Waldner, the EU commissioner for external affairs, said on the eve of the Russia-EU summit that the EU had also frozen the assets of the Belarusian leader and more than 30 other politicians who the EU considers to have been involved in violence and intimidation in the poll.
But Ferrero-Waldner said the EU nevertheless supported the Belarusian people. "It is important that Belarusians understand that the measures we are taking will only affect those who in our view are cheating the people of their rights," she said. "We will take no measures that hurt the rest of the population."

I've used sealants such as Zaino but reverted back to Meguiars.
My cars are all dark colors grey & black they still look brand new. I've got a mate who bought the paint protection stuff from dealers who guaranteed swirl protection and stuff.. and when I scanned through in detail with an LED light.. he got scammed.
Be sure to ask for warranty.. I'd be surprised if they offer anything more than a year.
Couple things:
- It's not a sealant per se. It's actually a urethane-type clearcoat. It's permanent. That's why if you were to buy it yourself, you have to sign a waiver stating you know what you're doing.
- It's not the same crap that dealers peddle. Theirs is just a synthetic sealant. Opti-Coat is permanent.
- Check out the Autopia.org detailing forums. There are reviews on there where a guy has been testing it on a car for the last 3 years. He used it to actually REPLACE failing clear coat on an old beater. after a couple years he even poured muriatic acid on it as a test, and it still stands.
I don't work for Optimum, nor do I sell it. I have it on my 335 and it is amazing. I just wash the car, and it looks freshly waxed. Shed's dirt like nobodies business! I used to wax, polish and all that, but I have no time anymore. It really is a great product.

Most competitive price on 90% of units looked at. Great communication with mistake on my part with delivery address, unit was then delivered next day. I will be buying a new unit for my other car and will definitely be using Car Sound and Security.
My first time using MyProtein and may well be my last. I spent close to a hundred pounds on products that where apparently "left in a shed" by the courier. I purposely had the items sent to my place of work as there is always someone present to receive orders. It's now been 2 weeks and I'm still waiting for my products.
MyProtein itself seem like a good company they just need to sort out how they get their products to customers.

When I was pregnant with the ladybug I had a lot of problem finding clothes that fit me properly….With my newly acquired belly , I was too big to fit in my pre-pregnancy pants and too little to fit in most maternity pants which was …..An issue every time I was going out of the house because I was never able to find "something to wear".
I ended up buying a whole lot of leggings which was OK for around the house but not so if I needed to go out! I wished I knew about the Bella Band back then. The Bella Band by Ingrid and Isabel is a stretchy band that you can use when just get pregnant but don't quite fit in your old pants, just fold over the band and place it on top of your unbuttoned pants and you can still wear your pre-pregnancy pants as long as your growing belly allows you.
When your belly won't allow you to use the pre – pregnancy clothes, but your new clothes are still too big on you…Use the Bella Band to hold up any style pants that are loose.
When you are fully pregnant and your belly is pushing down those under belly pants (this was a big one, I had to keep pulling up my pants every 2 minutes …..My hubby thought it was funny …..Me not so much) the Bella band would help stop this annoying occurrence from happening.
Once you are belly free and with a little bug, you can use the Bella Band with your pre-pregnancy clothes or your maternity clothes to be more comfortable.
Since I am not pregnant (right now)I could not tell you how the Bella Band works so I got myself a Guiney pig (SIL). She wears the Bella Band for a couple of weeks before getting back to me and "report" on the product.
She said the Bella Band is really comfortable, easy to wear and a great find …..She has been wearing it basically everyday ever since she got it and loves it. It also provides some support which is a big plus. The Bella Band is also very easy to wash!
She also got the Ingrid and Isabel's everyday cami and according to her is the most comfortable clothing piece she owns, and we all know how important comfortable clothes are when you are pregnant….So recapping , she loves Ingrid and Isabel's pregnancy accessories and it is something she will definitely recommend to friends and family.

Disapointing again in Macau
We went to Clube Militair for lunch in Macau. Overall, we were again disappointed eating in Macau. We had:
Arroz de marisco à moda do Clube (Wet seafood rice Club style) - good, but not as tasty as a great Paella.
Galinha à "Africana"marinada em alho, cebola, chilli e coco, assada e servida com batata gratinada e salada mista (" African " chicken marinated with garlic, onion, chilli and coconut, roasted and served with gratinated potatoes and mixed salad) - good, but not great. A little fatty and not spicy enough.
We had more, but I can't remember any of it.
Your profile shows your favorite comfort food is Chinese food then why not sample the Cantonese food scene in Macau, which is way better and more interesting than its Portugese food scene.

Masi Oka: Kristen Bell is a Good Kisser
by Matt Richenthal at ."Is there a little something going on?" Ellen asked about their relationship, as reported by People magazine.
A shy Oka responded: "Kristin is an absolutely amazing individual both on and off screen. We're great friends. Everyone has a crush on her."
Oh, really, Masi? No wonder DeGeneres pressed on, ribbing the actor and inquiring: "So you do have a crush on her?"
"Everyone does," Oka replied, laughing when DeGeneres would not drop it. "Is she a good kisser or not?" she asked.
As audience members cracked up, Oka simply said: "I'm sure she is."
Hmmm... maybe we should add these two to the Heroes gossip mill, along with Hayden Panettiere and Milo Ventimiglia.

I aslo belive lye has a power since he is also adapted

Learn more about:Swami Omkarananda Shri Prabhuji Siddhartha Krishna
A few words about the purpose of this Vedism website
Om Shri Veda-Purushaya Namah Om
OM Idam nama rishibhyah purvajebhyah purvebhyah pathikritdbhyah OM(My salutation and prostration to the Vedic Rishis, who are our ancestors and have found the path of self-realization)
My Dearest Soul,Harih Om, As I have been commanded by my master and teacher Shri Prabhuji to work in the field of Vedism for the rest of my life, I try to thoroughly dedicate all my time in the studies and contemplation of the Vedas with Prabhuji, as well as personally. At present I'm trying to make some conclusions, with as much as I have studied till now in the last 12 years. I think, some of the conclusion would also help our dearest friends to understand Vedism better. Hence you see this website. I prefer the word "Vedism" rather than Hinduism, because of its origin and direct relationship with the Vedas. To understand and interpret the Vedic views, as described in the Rig-veda, Sama-veda, Yajurveda and Atharva-veda, we highly rely on the following Vedic scriptures, the Upanishads, Shrimad-bhagavad-gita and Brahmasutra, along with the commentary of Bhagavan Shri Shankaracharya. These enable us to study the shining sun of knowledge, which is in front of us in the form of the Vedas, from the nearest possible point, as these indeed are historically the earliest available documents to understand the Great Mentality of the Holy Vedic Seers (Prophets), to which the Supreme Truth was revealed in the dawn of this human civilization, for humanity's prosperity, wealth, happiness, peace, growth and well-being on worldly and spiritual level.As the Vedas state themselves, "he who avoids his best friend, the Vedas, is the most unfortunate person, whatever is heard by him is of no use, because he would never know the path of good action." i.e. he would always act as an evil, which will lead to him towards his own destruction, and in the end to the destruction of the humanity. Today's world and it's problems are a good example to understand this. Shankaracharya states, "the Veda is the greatest well-wisher, even greater than thousands of mothers and fathers".Vedism is centered around the God manifested in the form of the Sun. From the ancient times in the History, the outer sun has been an object of external worship and the Supreme God, residing in and above sun, is implied on the inner level by that outer worship. Let us not forget that worship is an outer action and it always needs an outer object. That is why, sun, the Highest and the Mightiest manifestation of the Supreme, has been accepted as an object of worship. Though even while worshipping him, it was not the physical sun which was the object of worship on an advanced mental level, but the Supreme Self, which is the sun of this physical sun.If seen with a deeper eye of contemplation, one may observe that nothing in this universe is more similar to God than the sun. It is the only thing, which can be stated as the direct manifestation of the Supreme. Many religions would agree with it. Sun is the immense and inexhaustible source of energy, power, light and life, on spiritual and physical levels. He is Savita (the creator), Pushan (the bearer and the one who nourishes) and Rudra (the destroyer), in Vedic terms. There are many other terms used for him in the Vedas, to reveal his divine and physical extraordinary qualities.This religion was once up on a time spread all over the world. Unfortunately, today the remnants of ancient sun-temples in India, Egypt, Greece and South America are merely tourist attractions. People just pronounce the Vedic Mantras while performing social rituals, but the meanings, the significance is totally forgotten. This is an attempt to revive the Vedic Scriptures in a modern Hindu mind.At present, we, here, are trying to rediscover this lost civilization, spiritual culture, a way of Supreme Realization, an alternative way of life, by trying to penetrate in to the deepest possible depth of the earliest documents of the Human History, The Vedas.After studying much of Hinduism, and most of the other religions with Shri Prabhuji, I concluded that Vedism helps us in freeing us from worldly sorrows, worldly problems, by telling us alternative life styles. The most beautiful thing about this Vedic Culture is that if understood well, it doesn't clash with any other religion and it tells us to look at everybody with a friendly eye, for we all are the sons of that Supreme Immortal Being. This is what the the Vedas tell us.In short, it doesn't only teach us about something that is absolutely out of this world, but also about something that exists within this world, and exists within everything.It's ethical and spiritual teachings are very profound and deep, deep to the greatest extent, a depth that reaches the core of our existence, and a person can meditate upon them for the rest of his/her life, and still everyday he ill discover a new pearl in this vast see of Divine Wisdom. Each and every pearl would prove its value for the whole world, for a single human and for everybody, including all the creatures and plants.Dear Atman, let us form a group of brothers and sisters, not an outer one, many such exist without any concrete result; but an inner one, so that we may be able to communicate with each other and overcome all the boundaries of space, time, locality, race, religion and people, that seem to limit us and our potency; and become free in its true significance, and more than that, ONE with all; only a Human and nothing else.After reading the Vedas, we start to ask ourselves, are we really able to be included in the category of Humans? Vedas teach us a lot, but the first teaching is for us to become a perfect human, and then everything else. We ought to become only a HUMAN, a Human that understands the feelings of everything around him. This is the first step towards Self-realization. How to think about God-realization in a society of animals?Unity and Peace within our world is the goal of the Vedas. And indeed, this is the only way to peace in today's restless world.Let us pray together, Om Shantih Shantih Shantih (Om peace! peace! peace!!!).
Eternal Love,
Siddhartha Krishna

I have to go on record and say this because it is called..
I am very sorry that i blamed Mr.Brian Schottenheimer for how crappy the offense was in the past. i do realize that his offense was very predictable, but if you have the players and they exacute the game plan then the system would have worked.
it wasnt Schotty, it was the players...
I was wrong
Absolutely. Stop being simplistic people, there can be multiple reasons why something fails not just one.
I would say the four other arteries are:
1) We have no QB
2) We have no WR's
3) We have no RB's
4) We have no TE's
And if you want to add a stab to the gut:
5) we have an average to below average OL
Put all these things together and you can have the greatest offensive mind in football coaching this team and it would make no difference whatsoever.
Schoddy was terrible. At the time he was OC, we had more talent. He retarded that talent. I feared he scarred Sanchez for life. It appears those fears were true.
Thus far, after the opener, Sparano has shown what I feared after his hire... he is aan average coordinator, but far from a great one.
The offense has been in somewhat of rebuilding mode since the loss in the 2010 AFCCG. And it's been a piss poor job at that, as we see now. Injury-prone and mistake riddled. At every postion except maybe one or two offensive linemen.
It wasn't Paul Hackett either or Herman Edwards . But it is REX Ryan and Mike Tannebaum combined with the Idiot they believed was a Franchise caliber QB because of the way he spoke and who showed up at his workout.
Coaches coach and Players play. Under Herm,the coaches coached and when a Limited Chad was Healthy, the Jets competed and won. Under This coaching staff, the coaches talk about coaching, the Players talk about executing and base on what we get to see, both Coaches and Players should be executed.
Does it appear to anyone that Rex Ryan has the Pulse of the team any better than he said he did last yr. He told the press after the game yesterday that his players had a bad week of practice while his QB whom he says gives them the best chance to win, told that same press that the team had an awesome week of practice.
In the words of RaY Lucus: "These men are lying to themselves".
We need to clean house
oy vey!
I don't know how it's possible but the Rams are basically below the Jets in every statistical category, and look just as ****ty as seen with the human eye.
Are we forgetting that when that skumbag Holmes went down yesterday (and decided to F us over by flinging the ball to SF,) Sanchez was left without his top 3 receivers? Sure it was an alltime awful Jet game, but when your top three receivers are hurt, (and the backup TE goes down, also,) you may end up in a rut on O. Sure it was bad, but it only counts as one loss, we still are 2-0 in the division and the season is not over
Still and always blame Schotty for lack of downfield attempts...
But yes, it seems to be the players, most notably Sanchez.
sanchez has enough misfires to all his targets over 3+ years. he's never had a good completion %. he's never protected the ball. the only thing he's ever been above average at is 4th quarter comebacks. that's really it. he's had enough time with enough rbs, enough tes, enough wrs, enough coaches, enough situations against enough defenses. this is not a confident qb who would turn the corner if all his guys were healthy. this guy needs a new team and the jets need a new qb (not to mention new coach and gm).
When we had the horses, Schitty wasted them.
Now that we have no horses, wouldn't matter who our OC is.
The 2010 Jets were "the" team. They were what the entire Ryan era was ultimately about. The coaches on that particular team who didn't have the boys prepared for Pittsburgh are the ones we'll rue forever, Schitty among them.
I'm happy that Schotty is gone but I am certainly NOT pleased with Sparano. Sparano sucks and he has no idea how to put players in position to succeed.

Ocular bleeding may be a concern for anticoagulated patients with certain risk factors and comorbidities.
Newly anticoagulated patients often present with a plethora of questions surrounding the risk of bleeding. Of course, they weren't anticoagulated in a vacuum; they may have had a constellation of comorbidities which, in turn, may have potentiated the risk of bleeding. Older patients with comorbidities (hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, etc) are often concerned about bleeding within their eye. Some common inquiries that surfaced during my time in the anticoagulation clinic included, "I'm undergoing cataract surgery; do I have to stop my blood thinners?" or "Can warfarin cause spontaneous bleeding within my eye?" With a focus on dermatology and ophthalmology in this month's issue, it seemed natural to discuss the risk of ocular hemorrhage and anticoagulation.
Upwards of 39% of patients on anticoagulation may expect to experience a minor or major hemorrhagic event, including the more severe gastrointestinal or intracranial hemorrhage, or perhaps often moderate to less severe gum bleeding, bruising, or ocular hemorrhage. As a subset of these events, ocular bleeding, or more specifically, the incidence of subconjunctival and retinal bleeding associated with anticoagulant therapy, has been described as 3% to 5% in the literature.
Ocular Bleeding
Does everyone share the same risk of experiencing ocular bleeding complications? In short, no. As noted, it is likely that a patient's need for anticoagulation will coexist in the presence of other previously diagnosed vascular complications. It is these preexisting complications that may increase one's potential for ocular complications, thus what may be perceived as spontaneous may really be an underlying work in progress.
In a prospective study including 420 patients, whereby 210 patients taking warfarin were examined against 210 gender- and age- matched controls for ocular bleeding, Biyik et al determined that the incidence for bleeding was 5 times greater in patients bearing a diagnosis of hypertension (P <0.001). These investigators also concluded that there was a significant difference in the incidence of bleeding and advanced age (P = 0.003). Notably, the patient ages were not identified in this study and the notion of age-related risk is one of controversy given the inconsistent findings by other investigators.
In most instances, patients experiencing preretinal (subhyaloid), subconjunctival (hyposphagma), or vitreous complications will be amenable to good outcomes, whereas those sustaining retinal or choroid complications are subject to sight-threatening impairment.
Regarding ophthalmic surgical interventions, the decision to stop anticoagulation should be determined on an individual basis and a baseline evaluation of risk factors should be conducted. While antiplatelet and anticoagulant medications may increase the risk of bleeding, interruption can result in increased risk of stroke or systemic embolism, thus the decision is one of risk versus benefit.
Generally speaking, patients with established cerebrovascular disease, coronary artery disease, recent stent placement, major thromboembolic risk factors, or other well-defined indications necessitating the use of antiplatelet and/or antithrombotic agents may continue their treatment with minimal risk of clinically significant ocular hemorrhagic complications and do not require the cessation of therapy. Particularly, patients undergoing the more common cataract surgeries can undergo these procedures with reasonable safety; however, patients undergoing glaucoma or vitreoretinal interventions may be more likely to experience visually significant bleeding complications and caution should be exercised.
Risk Factors
Factors such as age, presence of other comorbidities (especially those vascular in nature), the type of intervention (ie, invasive vs noninvasive), other medication or supplement use, as well as intensity and stability of anticoagulation are to be taken into consideration when deciding to continue or temporarily cease the use of anticoagulation perioperatively. In instances where patients have a risk of bleeding, but anticoagulation is still warranted, their intensity of anticoagulation may be lowered to an international normalized ratio (INR) of 1.7 to 2.3 or 1.5 to 2.0 in the week prior to the procedure. If anticoagulation therapy is discontinued, it is notable that it could take 2 to 3 days for an INR to decrease below 2.0 and 4 to 6 days for the INR to normalize.
Anticoagulation may increase the frequency of ocular bleeding complications, especially in the presence of vascular comorbidities, such as hypertension. Patients with multiple risk factors should have their INR monitored more closely. However, the risk of ocular hemorrhage is small in patients without preexisting ocular complications. When evaluating a patient for risk of ocular hemorrhage, it is important to look beyond the red and "see" the big picture.

After the Fireworks...A Spilt
After tempers died down and the dust settled, it was a series spilt for the Saint Cloud State Men's Hockey team. The series saw Colorado College and the Huskies combine for 19 goals and each team pick up two points in a very crowded WCHA conference.
The Huskies won their 9th game in a row on Friday night with a 5-4 win behind two David Eddy goals and three points each for Ryan Lasch and Aaron Marvin. It was a back and forth series that had each team taking turns with the lead both nights but the end result on Saturday had the Huskies' winning streak come to an end. Garrett Roe's two goals and three points were not enough as the Tigers took the finale 6-4, although not without some controversy. The Huskies thought they had tied the score at 5-5 with 1:30 left in the 3rd period but the goal was wavied off because the referee lost sight of the puck and blew the play dead.
After the game head coach Bob Motzko was visibly angry with the call by the referee and has held back in his discussion by the other members of the officiating crew. The Huskies were given a team unsportsmanlike conduct and game misconduct penalty at the end of the game as well for the heated exchange.
With the spilt, the Huskies find themselves in 3rd place in the WCHA conference with an overall record of 17-8-3 but just two points behind Denver for the top spot. The Huskies are currently 4th as well in the pairwise rankings which try and mimic the guidelines used by the NCAA to figure out the national tournament field.
SCSU returns home this weekend for more WCHA play against Alaska Anchorage. Listen to the games both nights on KVSC with puck drop at 7:07 p.m. on Friday and 5:07 p.m. on Saturday.

Dave J Hogan/Getty ImagesWith Led Zeppelin set to release its Celebration Day reunion concert video and CD on Monday, Jimmy Page has once again put a damper on fans' hopes that the band might get together again. The guitarist appeared on the latest episode of the U.K. performance series Later with Jools Holland and, not surprisingly, he was asked by the host about the possibility of another Zeppelin concert.
"We're almost five years after the O2 [Arena] concert," he noted, "and I must say that I thought there might be some other sort of get-together for some reason or another, but as the years ticked by…it doesn't look very likely, does it?"
Page also shared how he felt during the reunion show, which took place in London in December 2007 as the finale of a tribute concert to late Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun.
"It was very powerful on stage," he said. "It had serious moments. Even when we came back to look at it, it was like, 'Wow.'"
In other news, a new TV ad promoting the release of Celebration Day and a high-definition clip from the concert film showing Led Zeppelin performing its classic tune "Black Dog" have been posted online.

A thumbnail sketch of NBC's plans for fall season
(AP) - Some highlights of NBC's moves in its schedule for next season.
WHAT'S NEW: A lot. The long-struggling network invested heavily in new programming and has ordered 17 new series for next season. John Malkovich as Blackbeard. James Spader as a wanted fugitive. Dracula brought to life. A cops drama from the guy who made "Law & Order." More supernatural stuff from J.J. Abrams. A cooking show. A quiz show. A home renovation show. If a couple of these make an impression on viewers, NBC will be thrilled.
WHAT'S GONE: The newsmagazine "Rock Center," in a move sure to cause bad blood between NBC's news and entertainment divisions. Matthew Perry's star vehicle "Go On," failing to recreate that "Friends" magic. And about two dozen other sitcoms you never watched.
LIFE SUPPORT: The serial killer drama "Hannibal" has terrible ratings, but NBC had such high hopes for it this spring that executives can't bear to pull the plug. Maybe it's their livers on the line.
STAR POWER: Michael J. Fox is a beloved sitcom actor, respected even more for his dignity in handling Parkinson's disease. Now he's essentially turning those real-life experiences into a sitcom, where he will play a sportscaster going back to work. Interestingly, NBC gave Sean Hayes a more prominent spot on a Thursday-night schedule geared to broad-appeal comedies, perhaps so Fox won't feel the pressure to save the network. And Seth Meyers is moving from his "Weekend Update" desk to his own late- night show.
WHAT THEY NEED: Somebody to save the network.
BIG MOVE: "Revolution" to Wednesday nights, where it will no longer have the advantage of a big audience tuning in for "The Voice." "Chicago Fire" moves to Tuesday. Moving successful shows to new nights is always risky, perhaps even more so for programs at an early stage in their development.
TONIGHT: Pencil in Feb. 24, 2014, as the debut for NBC's new late-night lineup of Jimmy Fallon on the "Tonight" show and Seth Meyers following him on "Late Night." NBC said Monday that Fallon will have a week of special programs during the Winter Olympics right before that.

Monday, July 3, 2006 - Page updated at 12:00 AM Experts debate whether children should be called obeseThe Associated Press CHICAGO — Is it OK for doctors and parents to tell children and teens they're fat? That seems to be at the heart of a debate over whether to replace the fuzzy language favored by the U.S. government with the painful truth: telling kids if they're obese or overweight. Labeling a child obese might "run the risk of making them angry, making the family angry," but it addresses a serious issue head-on, said Dr. Reginald Washington, a Denver pediatrician and co-chairman of an American Academy of Pediatrics obesity task force. "If that same person came into your office and had cancer, or was anemic, or had an ear infection, would we be having the same conversation? There are a thousand reasons why this obesity epidemic is so out of control, and one of them is no one wants to talk about it." The diplomatic approach adopted by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and used by many doctors avoids the word "obese" because of the stigma. The CDC also calls overweight kids "at risk of overweight." Those favoring a change say the current terms encourage denial of a problem that affects increasing numbers of U.S. youngsters. Under a proposal being studied by a committee of the American Medical Association, the CDC and others, fat children would get the same labels as adults: overweight or obese. Weighted words Current terms: The CDC doesn't call children obese, no matter how fat they are. And it calls those who qualify as overweight "at risk of overweight." Only obese children are called "overweight." The CDC defines children "at risk of overweight" as those with a body-mass index in the 85th to 94th percentile for their gender and age. That means a ratio of their weight to height is higher than 85 to 94 percent of children their same age and gender. The CDC defines "overweight" as those with a body-mass index higher than 95 percent of children their age and gender, a category most experts agree qualifies as "obese." Proposed change: The clearer language, "obese" and "overweight," would be applied to children as it is for adults. Final committee recommendations are expected in September. Organizations including the CDC will decide whether to adopt them. The change "would certainly make sense. It would bring the U.S. in line with the rest of the world," said Tim Cole, a professor of medical statistics at the University College London's Institute of Child Health. The existing categories are convoluted and "rather ironic, since the U.S. leads the world in terms of obesity," Cole said. "There must be an element of political correctness." The debate illustrates just how touchy the nation is about its weight problem. Obese "sounds mean. It doesn't sound good," said Trisha Leu, 17, who thinks the proposed change is a bad idea. The Wheeling, Ill., teen has lost 60 pounds since March as part of an adolescent obesity-surgery study at the University of Illinois at Chicago. "When you're young, you don't understand what obese means," Leu said. "I still don't understand it." The CDC adopted the current terms in 1998, using weight-to-height ratios and growth charts from a generation of children much slimmer than today's. Children are said to be "at risk for overweight" if their body-mass index (BMI) is between the 85th and 94th percentiles. They're "overweight" if their body-mass index is in the 95th percentile or higher — or greater than at least 95 percent of youngsters the same age and gender. Many pediatricians understand the first category to mean "overweight" and the second one to mean "obese," said the CDC's Dr. William Dietz. He said the word "obese" was purposely avoided because of negative connotations, but he conceded that many pediatricians find the current language confusing. Adding to the confusion is the fact that about 17 percent of U.S. children are in the highest category, and that almost 34 percent are in the second-highest category. That sounds like a mathematical impossibility, but it's because the percentiles are based on growth charts from the 1960s and 1970s, when far fewer kids were fat. In children, determining excess weight is tricky, partly because of rapid growth — especially in adolescence — that can sometimes temporarily result in a high body-mass index. For children in at least the 95th percentile, high BMI "is almost invariably excess fat," Dietz said. But there's less certainty about those in the second-highest category. So to avoid mislabeling and "traumatizing" kids, the CDC chose to be diplomatic, Dietz said. The committee, set up by the American Medical Association, involves obesity experts from 14 professional organizations including the American Academy of Pediatrics. Their mission is to update recommendations for prevention, diagnosis and management of obesity in children. Final recommendations are expected in September, and the participating groups will decide individually whether to adopt them. Dr. Ronald Davis, the AMA's president-elect, said it's unclear whether the committee can develop a consensus on the obesity terms. "There are seemingly legitimate arguments on both sides," said Davis, a preventive-medicine specialist with Henry Ford Health System in Detroit. Maria Bailey of Pompano Beach, Fla., whose 12-year-old daughter, Madison, is self-consciously overweight, opposes the proposed change. She said their pediatrician has told her daughter to exercise more and see a nutritionist, but "hasn't told her that she's in a [weight] category." "We're already raising a generation of teenagers who have eating disorders," Bailey said. "I think it would just perpetuate that." Paola Fernandez Rana of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., has a 9-year-old daughter who at 40 pounds overweight is considered obese. Rana said doctors "refer to it as the 'o-word' " in front of her daughter "in an effort not to upset her." "They very clearly told me she was obese," Rana said. But she said she agreed with the term and thinks that at some point it should be used with her daughter, too. "Obviously, I don't want my daughter to be overweight, but ... in order to change the situation, she is ultimately going to need to hear it," Rana said. Dr. Michael Wasserman, a pediatrician with the Ochsner Clinic in Metairie, La., agreed. Using the term "at risk for overweight" is misleading, creating the perception "that I'm only at risk for it now, so I don't have to deal with it now," said Wasserman, who is not on the committee. "There's a tremendous amount of denial by parents and children," he said. But Chicago pediatrician Dr. Rebecca Unger, also not a committee member, said she prefers the term "at risk for overweight" because it gives patients hope that "we can do something about it."

Subacute Sclerosing Panencephalitis (SSPE)
Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) is a debilitating and progressive brain disorder. Unfortunately, it is always fatal. SSPE is related to the measles virus (rubeola). It is caused by an abnormal and unusual reaction of your immune system to the measles virus. This results in inflammation, swelling, and irritation of the brain. It may occur years after recovering from the measles. It usually appears in children and adolescents, and more often in males than females.
SSPE is a very rare disease. In countries like the Unites States where most young children are routinely given the measles vaccine, the incidence of SSPE is less than 10 each year. In countries where there are not standard immunization programs, the incidence is higher. Immunization from the measles virus is the only way to prevent SSPE.
Contracting measles does not necessarily mean that you will develop SSPE later on. Even if you have had the measles, SSPE is rare. Why SSPE develops is still under speculation, but the primary theory is it is from an abnormal immune response to the measles virus or possibly due to mutated forms of the virus.
What Are the Symptoms of Subacute Sclerosing Panencephalitis?
The following is a list of symptoms of the effects of subacute sclerosing panencephalitis on the brain:
- gradual change in behavior
- unusual behavior
- dementia
- decrease in cognitive and social abilities
- muscle spasm and jerking
- lethargy
- difficulty with schoolwork
- seizures
- unsteady gait
- tense or lax muscles
- weakness in both legs
- coma
If the patient is experiencing seizures, precautions need to be taken to avoid any injuries that may occur during the seizures.
How Is Subacute Sclerosing Panencephalitis Diagnosed?
After inquiring about your medical history your doctor will check for the following signs of SSPE:
- damage to the optic nerve
- damage to the retinas in the eyes
- muscle twitching
- poor performance on movement and coordination tests
In addition, your doctor may request some further testing, including:
- EEG - electroencephalogram
- MRI scan
- spinal tap
- serum antibody titer - a blood test to check for a previous measles infection
Are There Any Treatments For Subacute Sclerosing Panencephalitis?
There is no cure for SSPE. However, your doctor can prescribe some antiviral drugs that may slow the progression, and anticonvulsant drugs to control the seizures. In most cases people with SSPE live one to two years, but occasionally longer.

Think BR: Why the ad tech sector must get better at speaking the language of marketers
We have to make real-time bidding a valuable proposition for any marketer, regardless of technical ability, writes Pierre Naggar, EU managing director, Turn.
Pierre Naggar, EU managing director, Turn
At the end of 2012, we look back on a year in which real-time bidding (RTB) and the general understanding of its concepts and benefits really started to emerge from the shadows. The Financial Times estimates that the RTB industry is currently worth $4billion globally, but in many ways, it remains one of the advertising industry's best kept secrets.
For those creating RTB platform technology, the shift in their target audience from the highly tech-savvy IT department to a broader cross-section of marketers has meant that a recalibration of language and sales approach is necessary to ensure a wider understanding of the benefits. And we still have a way to go in 2013 to build upon the process of shifting perceptions of RTB to reflect an accessible and recognisably useful tool at all levels of an advertiser's organisation.
Real time bidding works in a manner loosely akin to the way stocks and shares are traded electronically on the international markets. Bolstering RTB's worth in the world of advertising metrics is the use of - and understanding of - large amounts of data, transforming the way both agencies and marketers make decisions about target audiences and how they can more effectively spend digital media budgets.
The advertising industry luminary David Ogilvy once counselled that "if you're trying to persuade people to do something, or buy something, it seems to me you should use their language, the language they use every day, the language they think."
Although brands are increasingly realising and reaping the benefits of real-time media buying as our sector of the industry moves into the marketing mainstream, the task in front of leading companies, including us at Turn, is to cut through the jargon and continue to make RTB a valuable proposition for any marketer, regardless of technical ability.
In a nutshell, brands can attain better efficiency of budget by using real time bidding tactics. Instead of assigning an arbitrary value to a number of impressions, each impression is evaluated based on a series of pre-defined criteria specific to each advertiser and the successful auction price is based on market demand. For example, a women's fashion retailer looking to increase customer acquisition and drive effective awareness recently used Turn's platform to double the campaign reach and improve eCPA performance by over 45%.
In just 10 milliseconds, Turn's system notifies when an individual screen advertising impression is available via an auction "exchange". It then evaluates which brands the impression is relevant to, measuring against up to 2000 data variables and then calculates how much the impression (and the customer viewing that impression) is worth to that advertiser. Once a bid is successful, the software determines which creative ad is to be shown and returns the name of the advertiser, the URL creative and price the brand is willing to bid.
Every demand side platform is given 50 milliseconds to respond and the winning bid from any authorised platform serves the ad. With RTB technology powering a vast number of interactions in milliseconds, this type of trackable approach is fast-becoming a fundamentally important tool in the modern marketing armoury. Yet as a sector, the automated ad trading industry needs to get better at speaking the language of advertisers and to excite clients with how our technology can attract more customers to brands, rather than getting sidetracked by the technical granularity of media buying.
A dashboard such as Turn's also offers a data management and analytics system that enables clients like insurers or car companies to identify common details among their best customer segments and then extend the reach of a campaign by bidding to show ads to people who resemble those high value customers. The machine learning process gets better at pinpointing ideal audiences over the course of the campaign, increasing efficiencies and ensuring "best fit" for a specific brand's products.
One of the major strings to the ad tech industry's bow when it comes to "talking the talk" is that an effective media planning platform is increasingly seen as essential because it demonstrates that the added revenue generated by using performance marketing techniques is indispensable.
Only when ad tech companies start talking in terms of how results affect bottom line sales, will brands fully embrace the possibilities that automated trading, combined with data management, can deliver.
