What does life actually look like when your country and its currency collapse? In a recent Casey Daily Dispatch, two guest columnists - one from Zimbabwe and another from Bosnia - shared their respective feats of survival amid the horrors of hyperinflation and civil unrest. Sadly, their stories are not outliers. During my lifetime, far too many societies have reverted to barter, theft, and gang rule.
With Cyprus' volatile banking situation back in March and central banks in Europe, Japan, and the U.S. printing money faster than Superman can fly, we have to stop and think: Just how safe are we, really?
At a 2011 Casey Research Summit, I met and heard the firsthand accounts of three gentlemen from Zimbabwe, Argentina, and Yugoslavia, who had survived hyperinflation in their home countries. Although these may sound like exotic locales with foreign problems, their terrifying histories have a lesson to teach us.
Hyperinflation is like fire. We all install smoke alarms, keep fire extinguishers handy, and buy insurance to protect our homes, but most of us will never fall victim to an unplanned fire. However, when a fire does ignite, it can be catastrophic - which is why prudent people simply plan ahead.
If our currency became worthless, would we have anything to barter? Do we have goods to trade for food? If so, can they be stockpiled and held for long periods of time?
As I wrote in my book, Retirement Reboot, when the government initiated the first TARP bill and our annual deficit had topped $1 trillion, I was doggone concerned about inflation and unsure how to tailor my investments to deal with it.
My mentor at the time was the late Glen Kirsch of Asset Strategies International. He suggested I start with "junk silver," meaning coins circulated prior to 1965 that contain 90% silver.
Why junk silver when a one-ounce gold piece could easily be worth a whole lot more? Because silver is priced lower and available in smaller denominations, it would be easier to use for barter if the need arose, and I would not be afraid to carry it.
Prices Doubled Every 1.4 Days
As the speaker from Yugoslavia mentioned, after a period of rising inflation, prices in his country rapidly jumped into the stratosphere. At one point, they doubled every 1.4 days on average. He also shared the slide below with a little Yugoslav hyperinflation trivia.
Rapid hyperinflation can be difficult to even conceptualize. The Yugoslav speaker showed a 500-billion-dinar note that had the same purchasing power as a 500-dinar note just 20 months earlier. This almost makes it possible to imagine using money as kindling to heat your home or cook whatever food you could scrounge up.
To drive the point home, let's crunch some numbers based on a doubling of prices every 1.4 days. If you had a $100,000 CD, it would take approximately 29 days for the buying power of that CD to be worth less than $1.00. Imagine your current net worth, then reduce it to 1/100,000th of what it is today - that's how much purchasing power you would have at the end of the month. It's practically apocalyptic.
At that rate, hyperinflation turns the currency into a game of hot potato. No one wants it, and those who have it want to spend it as fast as possible, since it is losing value at a supersonic rate.
But even if inflation never escalates quite that rapidly or to that extreme in the U.S., investors here still need to plan for it. The Yugoslav speaker, along with the others, made it clear that hyperinflation totally wiped out seniors and savers. That's a situation I never want to find myself in.
Silver coins for barter, however, offer only the most basic protection; we need more insurance.
Stealing Gold
During the Great Depression, FDR confiscated gold from U.S. citizens by executive order, and criminalized its possession, other than for small jewelry like wedding bands and an aggregate amount of gold coins under $100. Folks received $20.67/oz. (in 1933 dollars) as "compensation" for surrendering their gold. Once the federal government had stockpiled the gold of American citizens, its price on purchase from the U.S. Treasury was raised to $35/oz. Almost overnight, this significantly devalued all those dollars the government had just "paid" to Americans by 41%.
While that was not inflation to the billionth degree, it was certainly scary enough. Our government has already done it once. We'd be foolhardy to think it could not or would not do it again.
We saw another storm cloud recently when a Dutch bank defaulted on physical gold deliveries to customers. Basically its customers thought they had gold in the bank, but the bank defaulted and said it would give them the paper money equivalent instead. It informed its customers that there was no physical gold available.
Does History Repeat Itself - Or Just Rhyme?
The excessive printing of money leads to inflation. During difficult economic times, debt-laden governments have either collapsed or massively devalued their currencies to stay afloat. Are conditions in the U.S. ripe for the latter?
Inflation is on the rise, and our government is printing $85 billion every month. To make matters worse, the government's official inflation statistics lie to the public. At the very least, this should make us uncomfortable, and at worst, terrified of what's to come.
Should we take heed and prepare ourselves? Well, is the United States immune from the laws of economics? I sure don't think so. The federal debt is unsustainable, and I think we are past the point of no return. At this point, I am more worried about how bad the fallout will be and how long it will take to recover from it. High inflation hurts everyone. We just want to protect ourselves as best we can.
Americans are not the only folks at risk. As already mentioned, the largest Dutch bank recently announced that it could not take physical deliveries of gold bought by its gold contract customers. It's a poignant reminder that where we store our wealth matters.
Storm clouds are on the horizon and - as the weathermen say - conditions are ripe for a significant event. It's time to gather provisions and take cover! Even if I'm wrong and the looming storm passes, it's much better to protect our life savings. It sure beats the alternative. Do nothing and your life savings could be wiped out in a matter of days.
The Shelter that Has Yet to Collapse
Any number of currencies have collapsed throughout history, but precious metals - gold and silver - hold their value. China and Russia have been stockpiling gold for good reason. Germany and Venezuela are bringing their gold back home after storing much of it overseas, particularly in the U.S. Sure, they played down their moves, but it looks to me like they are preparing for a storm.
A rather boisterous U.S. Congressman keeps calling for an audit of Fort Knox. It has not been audited for decades, and no one (at least no one who's talking) knows just how much gold currently sits in U.S. vaults. And I know I'm not the only member of the "I don't trust any government" club.
In 1971, President Nixon took the U.S. off the gold standard. So just how well has gold kept up with inflation since? One dollar's worth of gold in 1971 would be worth $42.46 today. It looks to me like gold has done doggone well as an inflation hedge, even with recent headwinds in price.
The Next Level of Protection
A desperate government frantically trying to protect itself will go to great lengths to confiscate as much wealth as it possibly can. We must be equally as diligent in protecting ourselves, and that means holding assets that are not easily confiscated.
Oh, there are still plenty of naysayers who might call me a doomsday prophet, but I am well beyond being concerned about ridicule. I believe a prudent investor should have hard assets in his core holdings. Historically, they have kept up with inflation, and as folks my age know, history repeats itself.
We each need our own, legal Fort Knox in a friendly jurisdiction, out of our government's reach. On a very practical level, this makes government confiscation much more difficult. But it's also nice to know that should our government collapse, relocating might actually be a viable option. I have a hard time with the idea of leaving my homeland, but having a backdoor emergency exit no longer seems like a silly idea.
Wherever you hold precious metals or your other core holdings, whether in the U.S. or internationally, they are inflation hedges and emergency funds. We have fire extinguishers for fires, and core holdings to protect us from economic catastrophe. I hope we never have to use either.
And beyond holding some gold you want to consider spreading your assets in various countries as well. This does not mean you have to move, though certainly that's an option, but it does mean not keeping all of your assets, whether gold, stocks, cash, or whatever, locked in your home country. What happened to savers in Cyprus and more recently Argentina (again) certainly explains why.

Shark is a credit card company under the BAWSAQ stock exchange in Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto V. The company name comes from the term "loan shark", where an individual or group loans money to an individual at high interest rates and backed by either blackmail or threats of violence should the borrower fail to pay back the loan in a "timely" fashion. The company may be associated with Shark Loans, a company seen advertised in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
Radio ads in Grand Theft Auto V mention that Shark now offers different cash cards, each named after a type of shark, catering to different types of spenders. These cards can be purchased in GTA Online for varying amounts of real currency.
- In GTA San Andreas, while watching the race from the Inside Track computer, Shark Loans is advertised on the lower left corner saying "Shark Loans: Just Don't Lose!".

Since 2007, the Cubs have won one series in Dodger Stadium (in 2011) and overall are 8-15 there in that time span.
With the Dodgers as hot as they are, it seems improbable that the Cubs could actually win this series. But the Cubs have played well on the road this year -- at 31-35, they rank seventh in the NL in road record, better than two teams with winning records (Diamondbacks, Nationals) -- so the answer is, "Who knows?"
This is an unusual afternoon game at Dodger Stadium; both teams have Thursday off and the Dodgers are heading to San Diego, not a long trip. Thus it's a nice thing for the Dodgers to give the Cubs extra travel time back to Chicago. Wish more teams would do this.
Finally, former Cubs manager Lou Piniella turns 70 today. Paul Sullivan caught up with him in Tampa; that article's behind a paywall, but it does contain this nugget:
"Three winning seasons in a row with the Cubs is nothing to be ashamed of," he said. "And the last year, a lot of things happened, including Mom (being sick). Look, she needed me home and I did what I had to do. Look, to this day I wish my career hadn't ended that way. But, look, you've got to do what you've got to do. I had a chance to stay there (in 2011) if I wanted to. People don't really realize that."
So apparently, if Lou's mom hadn't been so ill, he'd likely have been retained for 2011. It would have spared us Mike Quade, at least.
Cubs lineup:
Castro ss, Barney 2b, Rizzo 1b, Schierholtz rf, Bogusevic lf, Lake cf, Castillo c, Ransom 3b, Jackson p
Well, that's an odd choice. Cody Ransom over Donnie Murphy? Maybe it's a farewell gift.
Dodgers lineup:
Puig RF, Crawford LF, Ramirez SS, Ethier CF, Hairston 1B, M. Ellis 2B, Uribe 3B, Federowicz C, Nolasco P
Today's Starting Pitchers |
Oddly enough, the last time Edwin Jackson faced the Dodgers was more than two years ago -- in an interleague game, while he was a member of the White Sox. He wound up with the win May 22, 2011, but I think you'll recognize that game as typical Jackson -- 107 pitches in less than six innings. With Jackson's erratic year, it's hard to predict what he'll do, but it would appear to be about time for one of his good outings. Let's hope so.
Ricky Nolasco faced the Cubs August 1 at Wrigley Field. He left trailing, but the man who pinch-hit for him drove in two runs and Nolasco wound up with the win anyway. That was the game in which the Cubs scored four runs, all on solo homers -- two by Junior Lake, both off Nolasco, and two by Anthony Rizzo, one off Nolasco. I guess we'd take that today, but a bit more offense (the Cubs had only one other hit in that game) would be nice, too.
Today's game is on CSN Chicago.
Here is the complete MLB.com Mediacenter for today.
Baseball-reference.com game preview
Please visit our SB Nation Dodgers site True Blue LA.
Here's the scoop on game threads for 2013. You'll find the game preview -- like this one -- posting as the first link in the StoryStream™, which will then contain all the overflow threads and the recap. The recap will also be on the front page as a separate post; once I post a game recap, the stream for each game will be retitled "Cubs vs. (Team) (Day of Week) Game Threads" so you can go back and find every thread related to that particular game.
In general, game previews will post two hours before game time. Exception: for day games after night games, that will usually be 90 minutes.
You will also be able to find the First Pitch Thread and all the overflow threads in the box marked "Chicago Cubs Game Threads" at the bottom of the front page (you can also find them in this section link). They will also appear in this StoryStream™. As I've done for each regular-season game for several years now, we'll have the First Pitch thread at five minutes before game time (moved up from actual game time per your requests), then an overflow one hour, two hours and 2:45 after game time.

JIDE 2.2.8: Synthetica Look and Feel
JIDE 2.2.8 has been released, providing full support for the Synthetica Look And Feel.
Synthetica and JIDE
JIDE Software and JAVASOFT Software Engineering are glad to announce the support between JIDE and Synthetica product lines. JIDE is one of the most popular open source and commercial Swing component libraries. Thousands of companies are building their Swing applications on top of the frameworks and components provided by JIDE. Synthetica is a popular, customizable, enterprise look and feel. In past several months, developers from the both companies worked very hard together to make it possible to use JIDE components under Synthetica L&F. With the latest releases, all custom JIDE components will automatically get a nice style that is compatible with the style of the currently selected Synthetica theme. No extra code is need as long as you add syntheticaAddons.jar and jide-synthetica.jar to your class path, set the L&F to Synthetica and install JIDE extension just like before.
Please visit JIDE download page and Synthetica download page to download the latest JIDE and Synthetica (v2.7.2 and later) / SyntheticaAddons (0.9.7 and later) and give it a try yourself.
You can find some nice screenshots of our demos under various Synthetica themes from here.
- Black Moon Theme
- Black Start Theme
- Blue Ice Theme
- Blue Moon Theme
- Blue Steel Theme
- Green Dream Theme
- Mauve Mmetalic Theme
- Orange Mmetalic Theme
- Silver Moon Theme
- Sky Metal Theme
- White Vision Theme
- Standard Theme
TitledSeparator, JideSplitPane and FolderChooser
There are also a couple new components and features in recent releases. TitledSeparator is a new component which can has a title text and a separator. It can be used to group the components inside a container. We created PartialEtchedBorder along with TitledBorder for this purpose but you have to use it as a border. TitledSeparator is a component that can be added to any container. So you can decide which one is better in your case. The one touch button feature is added to JideSplitPane, a multi-split split pane. Many users asked for this feature and we finally got a chance to add it in this time. We also added a navigation field with IntelliHint support in FolderChooser. So instead of navigating through the tree to find a folder, you can also type in the folder and press ENTER to accept it without expanding the folder tree.
JIDE Software, Inc.We make you love being a Swing developer!

People with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) have disrupted sleep and low blood oxygen levels. When obstructive sleep apnea occurs, the tongue is sucked against the back of the throat. This blocks the upper airway and air flow stops. When the oxygen level in the brain becomes low enough, the sleeper partially awakens, the obstruction in the throat clears and the flow of air starts again, usually with a loud gasp.
Repeated cycles of decreased oxygenation lead to very serious cardiovascular problems. Additionally, these individuals suffer from excessive daytime sleepiness, depression, and loss of concentration.
Some patients have obstructions that are less severe called Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome (UARS). In either case, the individuals suffer many of the same symptoms.
The first step in treatment resides in recognition of the symptoms and seeking appropriate consultation. Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons offer consultation and treatment options.
In addition to a detailed history, the doctors will assess the anatomic relationships in the maxillofacial region. With cephalometic (skull x-ray) analysis, the doctors can ascertain the level of obstruction. Sometimes a naso-pharyngeal exam is done with a flexible fiber-optic camera.
To confirm the amount of cardiovascular compromise and decreased oxygenation levels, a sleep study may be recommended to monitor individuals overnight.
There are several treatment options available. An initial treatment may consist of using a nasal CPAP machine that delivers pressurized oxygen through a nasal mask to limit obstruction at night.
One of the surgical options is a uvulo-palato-pharyngo-plasty (UPPP), which is performed in the back of the soft palate and throat. A similar procedure is sometime done with the assistance of a laser and is called a Laser Assisted uvulo-palato-plasty (LAUP). In other cases, a radio-frequency probe is utilized to tighten the soft palate. These are procedure usually performed under light intravenous sedation in the office.
In more complex cases, the bones of the upper and lower jaw may be repositioned to increase the size of the airway (Orthognathic surgery). This procedure is done in the hospital under general anesthesia and requires 1 to 2 days overnight stay in the hospital.
OSA is a very serious condition that needs careful attention and treatment. Most major medical plans offer coverage for diagnosis and treatment.

2011 Youth Rally and Mass for Life
Special thanks to everyone who joined us in praying for life at the 15th annual Youth Rally and Mass for Life, hosted by the Archdiocese of Washington on Monday, January 24, 2011. An audience of thousands of young Catholics from around the country enjoyed musical performances by Steve Angrisano, Ike Ndolo and Maddie Curtis at the Verizon Center. Thousands also enjoyed the music of Bob Rice and Sarah Hart at the DC Armory.
Mass at the Verizon Center was celebrated by His Eminence Donald Cardinal Wuerl with bishops and priests from around the nation. The homily, by Fr. Mark Ivany - Parochial Vicar, Church of the Little Flower in Bethesda, reminded us all to (in the words of St. Timothy) set "an example… in speech, conduct, love, faith and purity" in order to change our culture.
Mass at DC Armory was celebrated by His Eminence Daniel Cardinal DiNardo, also with bishops and priests from around the nation. The homily, by Fr. Patrick Riffle - Parochial Vicar of St. Peter's in Olney, reminded youth that they are called to proclaim Christ and "the best way that you as young person can really be a living witness to the Gospel of life is through living lives that are chaste and pure."
Message from Pope Benedict XVI to young people attending the Mass for Life

The punishment handed down to 18-year-old Aaron Deveau should serve as a warning to young people, and their parents, about the consequences of texting while driving.
A Massachusetts court jury found Deveau guilty of motor vehicle homicide and texting while operating a motor vehicle negligently and causing injury. Deveau was sentenced to serve one year in jail and had his license suspended for 15 years.
Prosecutors argued successfully that Deveau had been distracted by sending and receiving text messages on his cellular phone while driving. Prosecutor Ashlee Logan said Deveau sent or received 193 texts on the day of the crash, including some just moments before the collision.
Deveau was the first person to be charged with texting while operating a motor vehicle negligently and causing injury.
The verdict makes clear that the fatal accident resulted from Deveau's negligence and that he will pay a price for that behavior.
Losing his license for 15 years is a serious penalty. Deveau will be in his 30s before he can drive again.
Deveau's conviction and sentence should send a message to young drivers: Don't text while driving. It could cost someone their life and take away your freedom.
Adults should take heed as well. No phone call or text message is worth the risk of killing someone by driving while distracted.

DUI arrests down in Santa Clara County

375 incompetent drivers on the road is still 375 too many.
Buy why were there fewer arrests this year? Fewer drunks or less aggressive police?
on Jan 3, 2012 at 11:22 am
Fewer arrests? My guess would be that the majority of police forces in Santa Clara County, due to budget cuts, are operating with fewer officers than they have in the past. Certainly the case here in Palo Alto.
on Jan 3, 2012 at 3:08 pm
Checkpoints arrests for drunk driving have become fewer and fewer, over the years. The police have shifted to using them to generally impose a "police presence" on the highway ... checking for drugs, improper registrations and weapons .. rather than intoxicated drivers.
The article did not mention checkpoint arrests, so presumably the police were not interested in pointing out that they might have not caught more than a couple people at this traffic choke points.
There also is no mention of accidents that were caused by allegedly drunk drivers. So, the impact of the arrests is not exactly clear.
And with the economy as bad as it is, there have been virtually no articles about the wild "shindigs" that we used to see here in the '80s .. so, there was probably not much "corporate"-provided alcohol in one the streets this year either.
Another thing missing from this article is the expected number of alcohol-related arrests for a fifteen-day period during other months. 375 arrests comes to about 23 per 24-hour day. Without some knowledge of what that number is outside of the year-end holiday season, the 375 number is not all that meaningful.
Maybe this exercise isn't all that meaningful at this time.

Visiting my Mom
My mom was operated recently but is back home now. Unfortunately she is not walking nor eating (only by tubes). She's very slim like I never saw her before in my life and ironically as it couldn't be, she looks like a saint: calm and accepting everything with a serenity of a saint. Any ways, thank you for reading that.

So here's a little bit about me.. I'm outgoing, confident, lots of fun, happy and sexy. If you're looking for a goodhearted, beautiful, intelligent, fun-loving, honest, outgoing girl with a good head on her shoulders, a career, a great family, and a very optimistic outlook on life - then you found her! I love to travel, exploring new restaurants, like to shop (what girl doesn't?). When I'm not in the city you might find me during the winter going skiing in VT or out west but someone I'm looking for doesn't need to know how to ski but how to sit by the fire relaxing with a glass a wine is a plus. I also enjoy warm and sunny days either in the park or on a beach. I'm easygoing and I don't sweat the small stuff, because life is way too short. I have a dog Chester who lives with my parents which I miss a lot. My friends and family are extremely important to me. I'm a great friend, and definitely go above and beyond for those I care about. It's so important that I meet someone who also values and understands the importance of family. I am very much a "doer" and love to keep busy. But I can also be perfectly happy staying in and relaxing with someone special after a long week. I work hard, but always make lots of time for fun. Balance in life is key! I treasure everything I have in my life - and I hope to one day find an amazing, goodhearted guy to share it with. :)

Wells, Jon-Paul R. and Yamaga, Mitsuo and Han, Thomas P.J. and Honda, Makoto (2003) Electron paramagnetic resonance and optical properties of Cr3+ doped YAl3(BO3)4. Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 15 (3). pp. 539-547. ISSN 0953-8984
Full text not available in this repository. (Request a copy from the Strathclyde author)Abstract
We report on the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and optical absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy of YAl3(BO3)4 single crystals doped with 0.2 mol% of trivalent chromium. From EPR we determine that the Cr3+ ions reside in sites of essentially octahedral symmetry with an orthorhombic distortion. The ground state 4A2 splitting is determined to be 2√D2 + 3E2 ≈ 1.05 ± 0.04 cm−1, where D and E are fine-structure parameters, and we can attribute this splitting to the combined effect of a low-symmetry distortion and spin-orbit coupling. The g-values and fine-structure parameters D and E of the ground state 4A2 are measured to be gx ≈ gy ≈ gz = 1.978 ± 0.005, |D| = 0.52±0.02cm−1 and |E| = 0.010±0.005cm−1 respectively. From 10K optical absorption we have measured the position and crystal-field splittings of the 2E, 2T1, 4T2, 2T2 and 4T1 states with the 4T2 and 4T1 levels appearing as vibronically broadened bands.

Article | Journal of Public Economics | Forthcoming
by Julio J. Rotemberg
This paper presents a model in which anonymous charitable donations are rationalized by two human tendencies drawn from the psychology literature. The first is people's disproportionate disposition to help those they agree with, while the second is the dependence of peoples' self-esteem on the extent to which they perceive that others agree with them. Government spending crowds out the charity that ensues from these forces only modestly. Moreover, people's donations tend to rise when others donate. In some equilibria of the model, poor people give little because they expect donations to come mainly from richer individuals. In others, donations by poor individuals constitute a large fraction of donations, and this raises the incentive for poor people to donate. The model predicts that under some circumstances, charities with identical objectives can differ by obtaining funds from distinct donor groups. The model then provides an interpretation for situations in which the number of charities rises while total donations are stagnant.

Living Life Practically
Blog Post by Stacey Pollock - Feb.03.2009 - 2:56 am
Life needs to be understood practically before accepted physically.Often is it questioned, what is life all about, why are we here and what is it that we need to fulfill? We delve deep into our own nature, seeking answers to the age old riddle of life. People reach this point of questioning mostly in the times in their life when things start to feel a bit of a strain or struggle physically. They wonder why they have to achieve things and question what the meaning behind such physical limitation is.

China's export growth accelerated in September
13 October, 2012, 11:36. Posted by ZarathustraChina's trade data for September show some improvement in growth.
Export growth picked up to 9.9% yoy in September, up from 2.7% yoy in August, and better than consensus estimate fo 5.5% yoy. Import growth picked up to 2.4% yoy, up from –2.6% yoy in August, matching consensus estimate. On a month-on-month seasonally adjusted basis, export increased by 10.9%, and import increased by 13.8%.
Trade surplus for the month increased to US$27.649 billion for September compared with US$26.661 billion in August.

Export to European Union in September was down 10.7% compared with a year ago, which remains very weak. Export to the United States increased by 5% yoy. Meanwhile, import from Australia is down 18% yoy.
Source: General Administration of Customs
The trade data for September are better than expected with export growth surprises on the upside. The pace of contraction in export to Europe is moderating, however export to developed world remains relatively weak in general. On the import side, growth has been below export for the best part of the year, and September was no exception, highlighting the weak domestic demand. The consistent weakness of domestic demand results in year-to-date trade surplus being 39% higher than it was in the same period of last year according to our own calculation.

The Sydell and Arnold Miller Family Heart & Vascular Institute at Cleveland Clinic participates in a wide range of research studies and large randomized controlled trials, which help guide evidence-based patient care and national practice standards.
We are currently enrolling cardiovascular medicine and surgery patients for clinical trials that look at ways to improve the care of patients. You may qualify to take part in a trial that tests different methods of treatment, such as surgical procedures, devices or new medicines.
"Clinical trial" is the scientific term for a test or study that evaluates new surgical procedures, devices or medicines. Clinical trials are done to see if these procedures can safely and effectively treat or cure disease. Doctors and other health professionals conduct clinical trials according to strict rules set by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
To help you decide if you want to participate in a clinical trial, you will be given complete information about the study before you agree to take part. This is known as informed consent. Participation in a trial is completely voluntary. If you do not wish to participate, your decision will not affect your care or treatment at Cleveland Clinic.
In this section, you will learn about Clinical Trials, C5Research, the Vascular Surgery Academic Research Organization and Core Labs at the Miller Family Heart & Vascular Institute.
The Miller Family Heart & Vascular Institute serves as a clinical research resource for patients, researchers, and healthcare professionals around the globe.

A clinical trial is a research program conducted with participants to evaluate a new medical treatment, drug or device. The purpose of clinical trials is to find new and improved methods of treating different diseases and special conditions.
Every clinical trial is designed to look at a specific set of participants. Each study enrolls participants with certain conditions and symptoms. If you fit the guidelines, you may be able to participate. In some instances, you may be asked to undergo certain tests to make sure you are appropriate for the study.
During a clinical trial, Investigators use the best treatment available as a standard to evaluate new treatments. The new treatments are at least as effective or possibly more effective than standard. If you participate:
Yes. Side effects will depend on the type of treatment and the participant's condition. All of the risks and side effects of the treatment being researched are not known at the beginning of the clinical trial. Since this is the case, there may be unknown side effects, as well as hoped for benefits.
It is important to note that most treatments, as well as the condition itself, have potential side effects. In clinical trials, most side effects from the treatment are temporary and go away once the treatment is stopped. participants will be informed of any known possible side effects that occur while they are participating in a trial.
If you are thinking about taking part in a clinical trial, find out as much as possible about the study before you decide to participate. Here are some questions you may want to ask your doctor or nurse?

Core laboratories can enhance the scientific potential of research trials by providing highly specialized data related to the main question posed by the study, and also by allowing to test additional hypotheses formulated during the conduction of the trial or after its termination.

The Center for Cardiovascular Diagnostics and Prevention is a joint effort of Preventive Cardiology, Molecular Biology, and the Cleveland Clinic Cardiovascular Coordinating Center. Our focus is to provide laboratory blood tests for researchers and Clinical Trials. We are also developing new markers of cardiac risk and disease. The testing we provide ranges from the routine (e.g. cholesterol, liver enzymes, high sensitivity CRP) to the esoteric (cytokines such as IL-6, thrombosis related such as PAI-1) to tests available nowhere else (Myeloperoxidase, nitrotyrosine, and arginine metabolites). For studies we provide input on protocols, sample collection, prepare collection kits, arrange logistics, specimen storage, specimen analysis and data management. The Center, with the section of Preventive Cardiology, is also involved in programs to increase wellness.

The Mass Spectrometry II Core Laboratory is designed to meet the growing needs of investigators for development of analytical methods for identification and quantification of biomarkers in plasma, tissue and other biological materials. The main focus of this core is quantitative analysis of small molecules in complex matrices and structural characterization of small compounds. The core offers the service for the investigators to develop analytical methods for:
The Mass Spectrometry II Core is equipped with a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer (Micromass Quattro Ultima) and two HPLC systems:
The Center has an outstanding level of accuracy and reliability. For example, our lipid assays are standardized with the Center for Disease Control and the Lab is accredited by the College of American Pathologists and C.L.I.A. Analyses for each study are run in ways to reduce variance and close attention is paid to each specimen. Costs are kept to minimum while ensuring the finest quality. Our test menu is constantly increasing, feel free to contact us for details.
In the area of Cardiac Research there is a great deal of interest in inflammation and compounds related to inflammation. Indeed one can argue that almost every disease has an inflammatory component. Many inflammatory related assays are now available for research studies. The best known is High Sensitivity-CRP which has been called "the new Cholesterol". We are truly excited about Dr Hazen's new markers of Cardiovascular Disease. The Center has taken that one step further with MPO or Myeloperoxidase which may prove to be the next "new cholesterol". MPO is active agent in inflammation and tissue damage. The Center also measures oxidatively modified Amino acids which are markers of tissue damage.

Revlon Top Speed Nail Colour
Date: 24/04/12
Advantages: a great color, stays good for around four days
Disadvantages: need two layers
Revlon is a brand I can appreciate and it was been around for many of years. The company Revlon was founded in 1932. The company was founded by Charles Revson and Charles Lachman. The company became known for the production of nail polish but in the years after founding the company, more and more makeup products were developed. Since then it has a lot of competition from other brands but it's still standing and it's one of my favorite brands.
Revlon regularly releases new products on the market, and the collection of this brand nail polish add every few months some new colors. This spring the brand decided to come up with a quick drying collection. 5 fresh spring shades that dry within 60 seconds. Each of them contains 14,7 ml.
This coating is very light in color which I personally find a nice variation on the usually bright or dark colors that I wear. The color of the nail polish is an very pale lavender, but also somewhere tending to be very light blue. The nail polish does have the disadvantage that it needs two layers. The first layer doesn't cover the whole nail and even comes across streaky but the second layer finishes it off nicely. The first layer dries quickly and is dry within the five minutes. A nice smooth finish with a subtle elegant glow is the result. The second layer has a drying time of around 10 minutes.
I think the nail polish is compared to others from the Revlon brand a bit less when it comes to needing two layers. The nail polish stays in good condition from around four days. I'm loving the color of this collection and the drying time is very good. Overall four stars.
