Compound Interest (Continuously) - Problem 4 826 views
As the number of times the interest rate is compounded approaches infinity, we get a new equation for compounded interest that is explained here. The base approaches the constant "e," which is approximately 2.72.... . In order to solve for different parameters in this equation, remember to write the interest rate as a decimal and be prepared to use natural logs to solve for a variable in the exponent.

Check out some of Manish Malhotra's Delhi Couture Week 2013 collection. He describes the collection as "set in the 1930s and inspired by cross-cultural ties that created a very unique genre of fashion and culture".
What do you think? Personally, I'm feeling the men's line more than the women's!

I adore Sabyasachi's new line Opium that was featured at the opening day of PCJ Delhi Couture Week 2013. Has anyone else noticed that designers are breaking the traditional red look for bridal lehngas lately? Love love love the gold sequins! #obsessed
So far, this has been my favorite look from India Bridal Fashion Week 2013. Love this non-traditional white and copper bridal lehnga by Rohit Bal and vintage Amrapali Jewels!
Loving Payal Pratap's collection of these tribal-inspired suits from WIFW Autumn/Winter. Sonam Kapoor has been spotted in these as of late!
P.S. - remember our post on Anthropologie's designers of India collection? Well, you can still get some Payal Pratap dresses at Anthro!
Today we have a very special feature from the fabulous NY-based jewelry designer, Madhuri Parson. Madhuri has started a new luxury jewelry brand offering one-of-a-kind, handcrafted Indian-inspired jewelry with distinct point-of-view. Madhuri saw an opportunity for high-end jewelry that was chic yet versatile enough to be worn from day to evening. She designs pieces to flatter any outfit for women of all ages, and offers one on one consultations, including for brides-to-be. We had the chance to interview Madhuri about her fabulous collections and upcoming events. Read below to see what she had to say.
Your jewelry designs are beautiful - what is your inspiration or how do you get inspired to design each piece?
My jewelry roots in India is the basis for my inspiration to design the Madhuri Parson collections. I was exposed from an early age, to my grandfather's intricate craftsmanship of designing Indian jewelry and the vast experience left me mesmerized. My heritage, nature's bounty, parent's finite collection of original South East Asian artwork as well as my travels within India (and to many other fascinating countries), have all been sources of inspiration for my designs.
We love your fusion of modern style with traditional work in the Jadau collection. What is the history of Jadau jewelry and as you designed this collection what did you envision for how these pieces should be worn today (i.e. for the working woman, wedding guest wear, parties)?
The Mughals brought the form of Jadau jewelry to India. It is the original jewelry tradition of Bikaner and is made by highly skilled craftsmen. Given my Rajasthan jewelry roots, I wanted to design a collection of Jadau jewelry that embodied Old World charm of the intricate craftsmanship while simplifying the style for the modern day woman. For example, I've creatively designed Jadau earrings that can be worn as a stud for a chic day look and in the evening, the same pair can be worn as chandeliers by attaching the dangly component to the studs for a formal look. The Madhuri Parson Jadau collection offers a range of earrings, necklaces, bangles, and rings that can be worn for any occasion for the office and to weddings.
What is your favorite piece of all your collections to date and why?
It's a tough question to answer because each piece I design becomes one of my favorites. Though there is a special design that is my masterpiece and it is the statement peacock earrings and necklace. It took approximately a month to make both pieces. I worked closely with my extremely talented karigar to meticulously hand-craft each piece to ensure a symmetrical gemstone pattern to form a peacock design. I designed the piece with high-karat yellow gold, colorless polki diamonds of high quality, and multi-colored precious gemstones. No detail was left behind as we finished the back of each design with my signature gold and black meenakari, creating dramatic yet elegant look.
It's great that you provide the Bespoke private consultation service. What can a potential client expect during a consultation?
The Madhuri Parson Bespoke service is a wonderful opportunity for a client to work closely with me and for us to collectively design her most unimaginable jewelry piece. Creativity is limitless when we design together. During the consultation, a client can expect my undivided attention and committment to design and make her jewelry from start to finish. I feel so honored for the chance to design Bespoke jewelry and it's an incredible joy of witnessing a client's dream come to life.
Of your current collections, what type of jewelry would you recommend for brides wearing a) South Asian (sari-clad bride) or b) Western-styled (white gown) apparel?
For a) I would recommend my Jadau collection
JADAU: Vibrant sensuality. This collection is a balance of Eastern and Western sensibility. Ancient enameling techniques, meticulous craftsmanship and unexpected details converge with hues of handset gems and rich layers of opulent enamel. Earrings can be worn as a stud for a chic day look and in the evening, the same pair can be worn as chandeliers by attaching the dangly component to the studs.
For b) I would recommend my Gold Collection
GOLD: Understated simplicity. A fusion of yellow gold, diamonds, citrines and emeralds, this undeniably chic collection is classic yet modern. These effortlessly versatile pieces are designed to be worn from day to evening. They add the perfect touch to any outfit.
We are seeing more South Asian grooms wearing jewelry pieces in the US lately. Do you have any collections featuring men's accessories?
Since the launch of my brand, two years ago, I've been primarily focused on designing women's jewelry, however, within the year I've been receiving inquiries by clients to design men's cufflinks. I'm excited to mention that I've recently designed beautiful bespoke cufflinks for clients and plan to roll out my first collection of men's cufflinks soon that can also be worn by South Asian grooms. Please stay tuned for the wonderful launch.
Where are you based out of and is there a showroom clients can visit?
I'm based in NYC and meet with clients by private appointment.
Do you have any upcoming trunk shows or exhibitions?
I am excited to announce that we will be showcasing our latest collections at our trunk shows held in major metropolitan areas, such as, NYC, LA, and SF for Diwali and holiday season. We'll be posting all the details on the Madhuri Parson blog real soon…stay tuned!
If you're interested in scheduling a private appointment with me, please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com
Here are some of Madhuri's additional stunning pieces.
Thank you so much for sharing, Madhuri. Check back at Madhuri Parson's Facebook page for more updates!

Recent research shows that traumatic stress associated with childhood abuse may interfere with the development of the brain.
Children who are abused often have cognitive, behavioral, and emotional problems and tend to develop posttrauamtic stress disorder. Recent research suggests that these problems may be related to changes in their brain.
Michael DeBellis, M.D.: Abused children with PTSD have lower intracranial and cerebral volumes, larger lateral ventricles, and a smaller corpus callosum than healthy controls.
DeBellis presented his findings at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry last October.
Most of the subjects were diagnosed with PTSD as a consequence of sexual abuse, which began when they were between 1 and 7 years old and lasted between one and five years. Several subjects had witnessed domestic violence and/or were emotionally abused, which often coincided with the sexual abuse. A few subjects were also physically abused. All the abused children were living in stable environments without the perpetrators during the study, which was published as the second of a two-part series in the May 15, 1999, issue of Biological Psychiatry.
The results showed that abused children diagnosed with PTSD had lower intracranial and cerebral volumes, larger lateral ventricles, and a smaller corpus callosum than healthy controls, which may indicate neuronal loss, said DeBellis.
Enlargement of the lateral ventricles was associated with longer duration of abuse, increased cerebral spinal fluid in the cortex and prefrontal cortex, and PTSD symptoms of intrusive thoughts, avoidance, hyperarousal, or dissociation.
The corpus callosum connects the brain's right and left cerebral hemispheres, and its smaller size was not associated with duration of abuse, age of onset, or PTSD symptoms. The medial prefontal cortex, which is associated with cognition and executive functioning, including decision making, planning, and working memory, was also smaller in children with PTSD, said DeBellis.
However, the researchers' prediction that the hippocampus, which plays a role in emotional memory, would be smaller in abused children with PTSD than controls did not hold up. Smaller hippocampal volumes have been reported in veterans with combat-related PTSD, but DeBellis commented that the veterans also had high rates of comorbid alcohol abuse, which he believes is a stronger factor than PTSD in the hippocampus.
The decrease in intracranial volume was associated with early-onset abuse in children with PTSD. "We found that the intracranial volume grew until age 5 and then fell off, which is worrisome," said DeBellis. "We must consider that the smaller volumes may be associated with permanent neuronal loss leading to lower IQ scores."
In healthy children, intracranial volume increases steadily until age 10, with 75 percent of the adult brain weight occurring by age 2, and 95 percent by age 5, he said.
Brain development begins in utero with an overproduction of neurons, which are selectively eliminated by age 4 by a process called pruning, according to DeBellis. Synapses grow (synaptogenesis) and connect neurons together, and their numbers are pruned in late childhood and through the third decade of life.
Neurons enlarge with age and axons thicken. Between the ages of 5 and 18 years, the process of coating the neurons in the central nervous system with a myelin sheath is most influential in determining brain size, said DeBellis.
"In the PTSD children, we saw that the corpus callosum did not grow with age compared with controls, which may be due to a failure of myelination," said DeBellis.
His earlier study of abused children with PTSD (part 1 in the May 15, 1999, issue of Biological Psychiatry) suggests that traumatic stress in children produces chemical changes in the brain that disrupt or alter these developmental processes.
Eighteen abused children with PTSD were compared with 10 children with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and 24 controls. Fifteen of the PTSD group had been sexually abused, and 11 of those children had also witnessed domestic violence. The average age of onset for sexual abuse was 4 years, with an average duration of two years. The average onset for witnessing domestic violence was 2 years, with an average duration of five years before disclosure, according to DeBellis.
The PTSD group had higher levels of the catecholamine neurotransmitters norepinephrine, dopamine, and epinephrine than the group with GAD and higher levels of cortisol than healthy controls.
The longer duration of abuse corresponded with increased levels of the catecholamine neurotransmitters and cortisol in the PTSD group and severity of PTSD symptoms, according to DeBellis.
Symptoms of hyperarousal, intrusive thoughts, and avoidance were associated with increased levels of norepinephrine, dopamine, and cortisol, according to the study.
The neurobiological pathway for PTSD is essentially the "fight or flight" response to fear. The amygdala, which is the seat of emotional memory in the brain, sets off a chain reaction in the rest of the limbic system and the hypothalamus, pituitary, and adrenal glands (HPA axis). The HPA axis produces corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), adrenocorticotropin (ACTH), and cortisol. These events stimulate the sympathetic nervous system and the brain to produce catecholamines, according to DeBellis.
A handful of studies has shown elevated catecholamine levels in abused children who had mood and anxiety disorders and did not meet the full criteria for PTSD. Other studies of maltreated children have shown that dysregulation of the HPA axis plays a role in the increased levels of cortisol throughout the day, said DeBellis.
"Results of animal studies suggested that higher levels of catecholamines and cortisol may adversely affect brain development through accelerated loss of neurons, delays in myelination, or abnormalities in developmentally appropriate pruning of neurons," said DeBellis.
He investigated the neuronal loss theory in a pilot study published in the July 2000 American Journal of Psychiatry. The researchers hypothesized that the level of N-acetylaspartate (a marker of neuronal integrity) relative to creatine (a stable measure of overall brain metabolism) would be lower due to increased metabolism and decreased neurons in the anterior cingulate.
Magnetic resonance spectroscopy was used to see the levels of N-acetylaspartate to creatine in 11 abused children with PTSD and 11 healthy controls.
The cingulate gyrus is located above the corpus callosum in the brain, and a lack of blood flow to the cingulate area has been implicated in PTSD in combat veterans and sexually abused women, according to DeBellis.
"We saw lower levels of N-acetylaspartate to creatine in the abused subjects compared with controls, which may reflect global neuronal loss in childhood PTSD. Our previous MRI findings of global brain differences in abused children with PTSD appear to support this theory," said DeBellis.
In another study, he measured the N-acetylaspartate to creatine ratio of an abused boy with PTSD he had treated with clonidine. Clonidine is an antihypertensive drug that blocks high levels of catecholamines, specifically norepinephrine. The results, published in the fall 2001 Journal of Child and Adolescent Psychopharmacology, showed that the boy's PTSD symptoms were in remission and that the level of N-acetylaspartate to creatine increased at six months and was sustained at 18 months, indicating neuronal growth, said DeBellis.
He recognized the limitations of these studies including small sample sizes and cross-sectional designs. He is attempting to replicate some of the findings in a larger longitudinal study. ▪

Named after the Arsenal soccer team's fan store, the Armoury is an old-world pub that focuses on soccer; spirits heavy on beer and browns; a "Euro pub" menu created by Brian Laird; and a live-music lineup that features punk, post-punk and indie-rock acts. Partners Juan Padro, Kevin Eddy, Brad Beale, Kris Slocum and Kris Baehre (the former owner of Highland Tavern) opened their place in early 2013, taking a few cues from Europe -- where sports, culture and art aren't mutually exclusive, as they seem to be in the States. The refurbished warehouse space is decked out with hardwood floors, exposed red brick, several TVs (including one with a huge projector screen), a zinc bar, and an antique back bar that features a gorgeous porcelain-baked enamel tap system, from which eight brews are poured. The menu goes way beyond standard Brit fare, with salads and homemade soups, flatbread pizzas, sandwiches and charcuterie.

Audi TT RS endurance racer looks very serious
by Jeff Glucker (RSS feed) on Oct 9th, 2010 at 5:02PM
Originally, Audi didn't plan to send the TT RS over for the U.S.. Thanks to a petition on Facebook, it changed its tune and the car go on sale Stateside sometime in the near future. Once again turning to Facebook, we came across these photos of a TT RS variant we'll never see in our driveway, regardless of how often we click the "Like" button: a DTM-inspired racer that's set to debut in the VLN Endurance series. Audi has teamed with Raeder Motorsports and will run the car during the last two rounds of the Endurance Championship, held at the Nürburgring. The production version of... Read More

L'Orange has created a dissonant hip-hop masterpiece, filled with jarring wordplay and dark, conceptual beats that fill your ears with intensity. Creating an album of this caliber is no small feat, but putting together the cast featured on this album (Blu, yU, Erica Lane, Has-Lo) is another huge thumbs-up. From the opening "I did it for you" bit, onto the jazzy opener "First Person", the album already kicks off and sets the stage perfectly. The best way to sum the sound of this record, with brilliant production to add, is jazzy beats looped to a hip-hop groove, with dastardly dark sampled vocals careening on the side of the sound.
Brilliance only comes around every once in a long while, and this is the time to recognize it. L'Orange has seriously brought everything to the plate and hit a huge grand slam in clutch time. The title track is absolutely perfect, with its continuing story about the insane writer who keeps writing and writing and writing, as on the cover. Speaking of the cover, is the album cover not one of the best? The entire album, when not featuring jaw-dropping lyrics from the aforementioned artists, samples random bits from random things that would be hard to trace. It seems like most of the things are sampled from the yester-years of time. "Alone" is another of the standouts, with a brilliant sample of a beautiful voice that will trap in your head for weeks.
Please, to whoever you pray to, check this album out.

Danilo Gallinari
Check Out Danilo Gallinari Make The SHOT OF THE CENTURY! (According To A Very Excited Announcer)
What a shot by Danilo Gallinari! And he got the foul! And gave Mike Dunleavy a bloody nose! Alright, so maybe the announcer got a bit carried away. This was probably not the shot of the century. But it was a heckuva shot, and at the very least, one of the best shots of the year. But seriously, keep your cool next time, announcer-man. [Ball Don't Lie]
The Los Angeles Lakers And Denver Nuggets Weaved A Beautiful Tapestry Of Dumb Last Night
The Denver Nuggets defeated the Los Angeles Lakers 112-105 last night in a moderately thrilling game. But the game itself wasn't particularly smooth, each team hiccuping its way to the finish line. There was just a whole lot of dumb, really. Many videos of dumb, after the jump.
Danilo Gallinari Puts A European Spin On Flopping
Denver's Danilo Gallinari briefly mistook basketball for soccer in the 4th quarter of his team's Game 4 loss to the Lakers, and the Nuggets are now in a 3-1 hole heading back to LA. The outbreak of flops in this year's playoffs have been well documented, but this may be the most dramatic after-the-flop sell I've seen thus far. Acting jobs like these, where a player writhes in pretend pain after the actual contact, are usually reserved for European soccer. Now, they're creeping their way into the NBA. No bene.
This Ridiculous Behind-The-Back Dish From Danilo Gallinari Makes Us Wonder Why The Knicks Ever Gave This Dude Up
Many say that the Knicks gave up too much in the trade for Carmelo Anthony last season, which saw the 'Bockers gut their roster in return for the isolation-loving scorer. But what if the true travesty was trading just one player: Danilo Gallinari, who is seen here throwing a crazy no-look pass to Kenneth Faried. Check the dish after the jump.
Danilo Gallinari's 2011 Did Not Have A Happy Ending
The Nuggets lost 92-89 to the Lakers today, and while such a close loss is always disappointing, this one was especially bad…because with just a couple seconds to go in regulation, the game should have been tied at 91.
WATCH: Knicks' Danilo Gallinari Throws Down A Reverse Slam
New York Knicks' forward Danilo Gallinari threw down a thunderous reverse dunk against the Boston Celtics on Wednesday night that brought a sell-out Madison Square Garden crowd to its feet.

I've been playing around trying to build up a sample application on Microsoft Azure to prove out how I'd build a distributed system. It's still a work in progress (here's hoping I actually blog it all the way through), but that's not the point of this post.
Microsoft has provided an emulator that allows you to do a lot of things in your development environment without actually deploying to Azure. This is great when you are trying to figure things out and don't have a lot of confidence that you are doing things right. The deploy to the emulator is a but faster (especially if you have an SSD) and you don't have to worry about spending any money on a runaway process that you forgot to shut down.
This emulator has some fairly significant problems, however. The big obvious one is that it doesn't support Azure Service Bus. You would think you can get around this by using Windows Service Bus, but I could not get web/worker roles in the emulator to see the instance of WSB on my machine. You can use an ASB hosted on Azure from the emulator, however. This can be tricky once you start sharing the codebase with others, of course, since you need to keep your connection info out of the source repository.
Another significant problem is that the emulator can't use the latest version of the Azure libraries. It lags and so you have to find out how far behind, and then play NuGet magic to get the right versions. It's not hard, but it's a pain. Obviously this also prevents you from testing any new features of Azure, but for my purposes this hasn't been a problem.
A workaround suggested to me by Chris Patterson would be to install the Azure dev environment on your machine (or go full bore and stand up a full Azure environment in your data center, which might be a good long term solution for development), but that was just more effort than I want to put in at this point.
The bottom line, if you are going to only use web/worker roles and the storage account features, you can make use of the emulator to get a proof of concept working on your machine, but if you want to really use it you need to deploy to Azure.

World Bank signs $60 million grant agreement with Iraq's Ministry of Education
The World Bank Wednesday signed a $60 million grant agreement with Iraq's Ministry of Education to fund the construction of new buildings for over 100 schools, and urgent repairs to 140 primary and secondary schools across 18 governorates. The project focuses on schools that are overcrowded or housed in unsafe buildings.
The Emergency School Reconstruction and Rehabilitation Project was signed on the sidelines of an international donors conference in Tokyo by Dr. Mehdi Al-Hafedh, Iraq's Minister of Planning and Development Cooperation and Mr. Christian Poortman, World Bank Vice President for Middle East and North Africa.
The construction and repairs will be complemented by training and advisory support to Iraqi civil servants in key areas of education reform.
"The Emergency School Reconstruction and Rehabilitation Project represents an important step for Iraqis to achieve the education goals they shared with the international community today, aimed at creating a better future for their people," said Poortman. (menareport.com)

Let's face it: If you're smitten by Mercedes' GL-Class full-size SUV, the recent run-up in prices at the pump probably rates somewhere between insignificant and unimportant in your car search. With seating for seven, the GL-Class is a big SUV -- and it gulps fuel like one. Even the most efficient version, the GL350 Bluetec diesel we tested, manages just an EPA-estimated 17/21 mpg city/highway. Likely more important to you would be a comfortable ride with commanding views, space for the family and all their stuff, and a level of luxury to justify a $60,000-plus base price.
While the GL350 Bluetec diesel delivers the cushy ride, a combination of limited interior space and some irritating qualities weigh on this already-heavy SUV.
In models where both gas and diesel engines are available, the diesel is typically more expensive. In the GL-Class, however, the diesel GL350 Bluetec, with its $60,950 starting price, is the most affordable trim in the lineup. (Two V-8-powered gas models -- the GL450 and GL550 -- are more expensive.) Optional features pushed the price of our tester to $72,135.
Full-size SUVs aren't what they used to be
If it's been a few years since you've driven a full-size SUV, you'll probably be surprised by how far this vehicle class has come in terms of ride comfort and handling poise. A decade ago, full-size SUVs had imprecise steering and poorly controlled body motions. Many of these flaws have been engineered out of today's models, and the GL-Class shows how good things can be.
The GL350 is a very comfortable highway cruiser, and credit goes in part to the standard Airmatic height-adjustable air suspension. The big SUV floats softly over big dips in the road, and while you do feel it when it hits a bump or pothole, the impact is damped to the point that it doesn't disturb you or your passengers.
The GL-Class also gives you a high driving position and great forward visibility -- something that's a supremely important factor for some shoppers.
Diesel power
The GL350 Bluetec's 3.0-liter diesel V-6 makes 210 horsepower. There's some familiar diesel clatter when accelerating, though the noise is nothing like an 18-wheeler. The sound is more akin to that of the newer diesel pickup trucks from Ford and Chevrolet, but it's not as inconspicuous as today's quietest clean-diesel cars.
If you're considering the GL350 over a gas-powered GL, it may be because you've heard that diesels produce a lot of low-end power, or torque, providing spirited acceleration from a stop. This one does -- the engine makes 400 pounds-feet of torque at just 1,600 rpm -- but the delivery isn't as satisfying as in some diesel cars, like the Volkswagen Golf TDI. The Golf TDI wallops you when accelerating, pushing you back in your seat. By comparison, the GL350 feels burdened by its hefty 5,423-pound curb weight. It gets around well enough, but it doesn't move out authoritatively.
Diesels also typically hold a fuel economy advantage over gas engines. The GL350's combined EPA rating of 19 mpg is about 27 percent better than the 15 mpg combined rating the GL450 gets with its 4.6-liter gas V-8. However, the GL350's combined rating lags those of other large diesel SUVs, including the BMW X5 xDrive35d (22 mpg) and Audi Q7 TDI (20 mpg).
That said, in everyday driving it's easy to achieve average fuel economy figures that are higher than the EPA estimates. An hour-long drive on highways and suburban roads around Chicago returned average fuel economy of about 25 mpg. With a large 26.4-gallon fuel tank, the cruising range could easily stretch to 600 miles, which is good for both road trips and the inevitable day you have to hunt for a station that sells diesel.
The engine teams with a seven-speed automatic transmission. There are manual-shift paddles on the steering wheel, but they seem even more out of place in the GL than they do in most vehicles. They do, however, provide a way to hold a gear on steep grades that wouldn't otherwise be available, as the SUV uses Mercedes' stalk-style gear selector rather than a traditional shifter. The only real downside to the transmission during my test was that on two occasions, just after getting under way, it clunked when shifting at moderate speeds and light throttle. Hardly the kind of thing you'd expect from a Mercedes.
Mercedes cars don't always have the best brake-pedal feel, but it feels pretty natural in the GL350. Stopping response is very linear, and the brake pedal has deep travel that lets you finely tune braking response.
The inside
The GL's cabin is finished in nice materials -- that's the price of entry in this class -- but the interior design isn't especially memorable. Fit and finish are also good.
Ranking as one of the more unusual upholstery decisions I've seen, the GL350 has a stitched leather dashboard but simulated leather seating, something Mercedes calls MB-Tex. While MB-Tex is remarkably good at emulating the real thing, you have to pay extra to get real leather on the seats -- which is incomprehensible in a $60,000-plus luxury SUV.
Mercedes' keypad interface for the optional navigation system got easier to use the longer I drove the GL350, but I'm still not a big fan of it. The screen's menus look the same as those in the automaker's S-Class and E-Class cars, but instead of the relatively intuitive knob controller Mercedes uses in those models, there's a little keypad to the right of the screen. It leaves a lot to be desired in terms of usability. If I already have to reach toward the dash to adjust the system, just give me a touch-screen, please.
While the GL provides a commanding view of the road, it's not a huge climb up into the driver's seat, which shorter drivers will appreciate. The front bucket seats are large and comfortable, neither too firm nor too soft.
I was expecting the GL's second row to be spacious because it's a big SUV on the outside, but this row managed to just accommodate my 6-foot-1-inch frame. The biggest limiting factor is legroom; with the front seat adjusted to where I'd sit, my knees were nearly touching its backrest, and they would have been pressed against it were it not for the indentations in the seatback. The second-row backrests provide a few recline positions, but the seat itself is fixed, so you can't slide it rearward for more legroom.

It's Prostate Cancer Awareness Month: A Q&A with Drs. Kane and Parsons
After skin cancer, prostate cancer is the second most common cancer among males. More than 217,000 new cases are diagnosed annually. One in six American men will be told they have the disease at some point in their lives.
Yet prostate cancer remains an especially confounding disease. It grows so slowly that symptoms may not appear until late in life, if ever. Yet it's also indisputably deadly. At least 32,000 American men die from it each year.
We asked two leading physician-scientists to talk about the study and treatment of prostate cancer: Christopher Kane, MD, chair of the Department of Urology and professor of surgery at the UC San Diego School of Medicine and J. Kellogg Parsons, MD, MHS, associate professor of surgery at UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center and vice chair of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network Expert Panel on Clinical Guidelines for the Early Detection of Prostate Cancer.
Question: The risk of prostate cancer increases with age. The US Preventive medicine task force now recommends against screening but the American Urologic Association states that screening at age 55 is associated with a reduction in prostate cancer death. How do we reconcile the differing recommendations?
Kane: The best argument in favor of screening is that more than 30,000 men die from prostate cancer each year in the United States. If you get screened, you can get treatment, if needed. Screening is gaining information about whether or not a person has prostate cancer and, if they do, the stage, grade and severity of the disease. Fortunately, most men who are diagnosed young are diagnosed at a stage where they can be cured, experience fewer side effects from treatment, and are more likely to benefit from treatment.
Parsons: Most urologists agree that beginning at age 45 to 55 years, men should get a PSA blood test and prostate exam every 1 to 2 years. Regular screening is particularly important for men who either have a family history of prostate cancer (even just one first-degree relative) or men who come from an African-American family. In African-American men, prostate cancer tends to be more aggressive at a younger age.
Q: What is the PSA test?
Kane: PSA stands for prostate specific antigen — a fluid which is normally present in semen. Elevated levels of PSA in blood serum are associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (prostate enlargement) and prostate cancer. A test for PSA may be used to screen for prostate cancer and to monitor treatment of the disease.
Q: Last year, the United States Preventive Services Task Force said healthy men should no longer receive the PSA blood test for prostate cancer because the screening does not save lives overall and often leads to unnecessary, debilitating tests and treatments. What's your opinion of the panel's reasoning and decision?
Kane: I disagree with the task force's conclusion, as do major health organizations. It's true that PSA is an imperfect test. Although it is sensitive, meaning that most men with prostate cancer do have an elevated PSA, it is not specific for prostate cancer, meaning many men with an elevated PSA don't have cancer. So the concern of the task force is that men with elevated PSAs go through additional diagnostic tests that can be uncomfortable and often don't show cancer.
The other concern is that many men with slow-growing prostate cancer don't necessarily need to be treated and "overtreatment" can lead to adverse sexual and urinary side effects. What the task force seems to minimize is that prostate cancer is the second leading cause of death in American men and many men with prostate cancer detected by PSA do have life threatening cancers and can be cured with current treatments. In fact, the best study examining the risks and benefits of screening did show a reduction in prostate death among men who got screened and treated.
Q: The lower the PSA test score, the better. What is a worrisome PSA number?
Kane: One of the popular misconceptions is that a normal PSA is anything under four. This is not true for everyone. PSA must be used in the context of age and ethnicity. An average PSA for a man in his 40s is about 0.8 nanograms per milliliter. An average PSA for a man in his 50s is about 0.9-1.0 ng/ml and really should be under 2.5. PSA velocity – the rate of change of PSA – is a very strong predictor of prostate cancer. PSA velocity is also correlated with grade and severity of cancer, particularly for younger men.
Q: For healthy men over age 50, is there a viable alternative to a PSA screening?
Kane: No, for prostate cancer screening, both a PSA and a digital rectal examination are the best tests for men to catch prostate cancer in its most treatable stage. I continue to recommend screening and risk stratification of whether a man has aggressive or more slow-growing prostate cancer. We should then institute safe, effective, curative therapy, usually with surgery or radiation therapy for men with aggressive prostate cancers, and carefully follow, without treatment, men with more indolent, non-aggressive cancers.
Q: What about prevention? Does diet play a role?
Parsons: We have followed large groups of patients in epidemiological studies, and, over time, based on what they tell us they eat, we have been able to make conclusions about what would be some of the most advantageous dietary changes.
The over-arching message is that a heart-healthy diet, when applied to the prostate cancer patient, shows evidence of having the same great results. That diet is high in vegetables, low in fat, low in meat. Vegetables are particularly important. Some vegetables seem to have more bang for the buck than others, including tomatoes, carrots, and a group of vegetables called "crucifers." Crucifers include broccoli, Brussels sprouts, turnips, cabbage, radishes – vegetables that tend to have a sharp taste. That tangy flavor, some scientists think, contains naturally occurring anti-cancer chemicals.
Kane: We think a low-fat, heart-healthy diet may help prevent prostate cancer. There is some new information that some medications – finasteride and dutasteride – may prevent prostate cancer, but there are side effects and costs, so a patient should discuss that very carefully with his doctor prior to taking medication for prevention.
Q: Are there particular foods to avoid?
Parsons: Red meat in general should be a rare guest at the anti-prostate cancer diet dinner table. But more importantly, any meat that is charred is ill-advised. The charring produces something called PhIP, a chemical that is linked to prostate cancer development and growth.
Q: How does exercise fit in?
Parsons: Studies show that even just 30 minutes of walking or moderate exercise a day can reduce the chances of prostate cancer developing or coming back after it has been treated. The reasons why are unclear, and are currently being studied. It might be through improvements in overall health.
Q: Is it true that you can have prostate cancer and not need treatment?
Kane: It's true that there are some men with very low-risk, low-grade prostate cancer who may not need to be aggressively treated. That's an important decision they need to make with their physician. However, that's the minority: 15 to 20 percent of newly diagnosed men have that very low-grade, low-volume, low-PSA, slow-growing form of prostate cancer. There are also men who are older or who are in poor health where it is less important to diagnose what is often a relatively slow-growing cancer.
At UC San Diego Health System, we offer many men with low risk prostate cancer, active surveillance rather than aggressive treatment. However that decision is based on careful individualized assessment of risks and benefits. Many men with prostate cancer who were destined to have adverse outcomes from their cancer are cured with current treatments. Also current treatments are more refined and have fewer side effects than in prior eras.
Parsons: There has definitely been growing interest in an approach that's been referred to in various contexts as "watchful waiting," "active surveillance," and "observation." Excellent research has demonstrated that, in appropriate men with prostate cancer, this approach is safe and spares many of them the possible side effects of treatment. The regimen involves careful monitoring with PSA blood tests and, on occasion, repeat prostate biopsy. Newer research also suggests that prostate MRI may be helpful in some of these men for monitoring tumors.
Q: What new medical therapies are on the horizon?
Kane: There are a lot of exciting new treatments for men with prostate cancer. We are now preforming genetic tests of a man's individual cancer. We are performing some of the most advanced prostate cancer imaging and offering MRI targeted prostate biopsies. We have a number of innovative clinical trials to improve outcomes in men undergoing both nerve sparing robotic prostatectomy as well as sophisticated radiation therapy. We have immune therapy called Provenge®, as well as new hormonal blocking agents (abiraterone and enzalutamide), all of which which has been in the news. Moores Cancer Center has a prostate cancer program rivaling the best in the country, but our hallmark is individualized and compassionate care.
Parsons: A number of effective new medications have been approved by the FDA in the last few years, including abiraterone (Zytiga®), enzalutamide (Xtandi®), sipuleucel-T (Provenge®), Radium-223 (Xofigo®), and denosumab (Xgeva®,Prolia®). These medications were originally tested in patients with very advanced cancers, but some also hold promise in treating patients with earlier stages of prostate cancer.
In addition, there are encouraging developments in the field of prostate cancer detection. At Moores, we offer the FDA-approved PCA-3 urine test in appropriate patients to help make decisions about prostate biopsy; we are also studying the use of advanced MRI technology to detect tumors.

Panama to Key West: Best Delivery Route?

I made a relaxed trip up from Belize, several stops on the Mexican coast, longer stop at Isla Mujeres, then straight to Key West. You are balancing the Gulf Stream current against the trades. But the real problem is not that, but Northers breaking through that far south. After you have that many miles under your keel, there should be little or no weather related issues you can't handle. Just remember to stay plenty far (i.e. >> 12 mi.) off the Cuban coast. And stick closely to the procedures when you get to Key West - the Customs and Coast Guard are pretty sticky in that part of the world, for obvious reasons. But if you stick to procedures and have a good attitude there will be no problems.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Brighton-based web developer and Left Logic main man Remy Sharp published a post, RSS Icons for Safari, on how to change the blue RSS icon on Safari 3.1 with the more familiar orange ones.
As Sharp wrote in his post:
As such, I've made the raw icon files available here (at least until they revive the page). This will replace the blue (non-standard, sad looking) RSS icons from Safari with the one from the picture above.[Source]
The post also contains and talks about the following:
1) A link from where to download the RSS icons.
2) Instructions on how to upload and install the RSS icons.
A very useful chunk of information or knowledge for the Mac people.

No, I don't apologize to him and his family. God bless him! (laughs). If he's clean, Jesus man, you're absolutely phenomenal, a physical specimen. But you look at him.

"Late night YouTube watching was a bad idea. So many boys pretending to be professional wrstlers. A pair of trunks and a ring don't make you a wrestler."
- Mike Bennett bashing fans who are amateur wrestlers
Maria Kanellis is the latest professional wrestler to do a podcast show. She is doing the show with her fiancee and ROH star Mike Bennett, in order to raise their stock with wrestling fans. The couple has managed to get their show distributed through iTunes.
Mike Bennett made his official debut for ROH at Proving Ground, an event held in Boston. He worked a match against Daniel Puder, the former Tough Enough competitor and WWE star, and lost. Bennett is considered a young guy who should be with the company for the next several years.
