Last week I highlighted my trip to Poland, today is the final installment of that fantastically fun girls trip. On our 3rd day we hit the road early to be in Seiffen by 10am when all the stores opened. Seiffen sits on the eastern border next to the Czech Republic in the Erzgebirge--or Ore Mountains. It is a delightful German town that prepares for Christmas 365 days a year--artisans work from January to September filling their shelves with every kind of of wooden ornament, then from October to December they sell, sell, sell and when it's gone, it's gone. My friend went back last week and she said some of the items we bough a month ago were already sold out, so it pays to hit Seiffen before the Christmas rush, which begins in November.
Even if you don't buy anything (which you'd be crazy not to because prices are up to 30% less than what you'll find in Munich), Seiffen is a charming town to walk through with all of it's larger than life outdoor Christmas displays. I was particularly fond of the mechanical kissing figurines who come together for a loud smack.
Another draw to Seiffen is the factory tour at the Richard Glässer workshop. Watch as artisans carve trees, paint Nutcrackers and assemble spinning pyramids. The self guided tour only takes about 30 minutes and costs about €2. Children will be fascinated and everyone will love how close they are to the production process. Check website for times.
1. There is a large parking lot as you enter the city from the north. Park here and walk down the hill into the main part of town.
2. The farther from the city center, the better the prices. We found the store right across from the parking lot had prices that were often €5-10 less than the stores in town. We started and ended our day there.
3. Ask about shipping--not everyone is set up to do so. One that does is the Seiffener Pyramidenhaus. They were fantastic to work with and shipped the 4 large pyramids I purchased to my home in Munich for only €15.
4. Not every store keeper speaks English. I was surprised that we did not run into any other American or English speaking tourists, so don't automatically expect English.
The Bergkirche (church) with it's choir features in many of the Christmas ornaments sold in town. If you've ever purchased a wooden music box, pyramid or light arc with a church on it, chances are it is the Seiffener Kirche. As a matter of fact, last week when I was unpacking all my Christmas decorations I noticed the music box I bought 3 years ago at the Munich Christmas market has the Seiffener Kirche in the middle surrounded by little singers. Now, I know the rest of the story--The Lutheran church was built in 1779. The children's choir is quite famous and performs every Sunday. During the season of Advent a special concert is held Sunday's at 2:30pm.

It was more expensive than what I normally go for, but it was highly recommended and did not disappoint. I had cream of garlic soup that could have kept vampires away for months, but boy was it good. The other ladies raved about their dishes, but the Quark Knödel dessert with apricot and pear compote was the reason we chose this restaurant.
I don't remember ever having such a fun girl's trip! These two destinations, Boleslawiec and Seiffen make the perfect weekend holiday for families or girl friends. Drive time from Munich to Poland is about 6 hours.

It is the eleventh edition of State-X New Forms or as they say in the south of the wonderful low countries: the fool's edition. Another two days of discovering new sounds, collapsing musical continents and strange harmonies.
A friday night filled with jazz, improvisations, world music, leftfield electronics and hip hop, followed by a decibels-filled saturday night in which we meet again with old friends who are on the brink of new releases and try to break a new world record in noise. On the other side of the spectrum we have some of the quietest music around, where melancholy is your guide.
If you want to participate yourselves make sure to touch the keys of the Magnetic Field Installation or join in the dance of Noblesse's Amos Ben-Tal. Alternatively feel free to indulge anonymously in the party that is going on the whole weekend, from the confettislinging of Rich Aucoin to the pentagrammik cokesniffing of The Hard Way.
You may find yourself in another part of the world and you may ask yourself: "Well… How did I get here?" We may never pass this way again.
Enjoy, be part of State-X New Forms 2014.

I've been sitting here thinking about our beloved Boston Red Sox. Through the years there have been a great many ups and downs both on the field and of the field. Some game related issues and others having nothing to do with the game. But one thing is for certain, even when you feel let down when they lose, there is just something that is so special about our Boston Red Sox that just makes you love them no matter the outcome.They have their faults, they do their best, they're only human like the rest of us. They keep us coming, they keep us going. I'm sure there is no other place we'd rather be, than sitting there supporting our team. The Boston Red Sox.
My love goes deep for the Red Sox. I can't really handle the crowd atmosphere or the noise due to some hearing issues. But each time I know that the Red Sox are playing I'm routing for them. I know they always bring their best even when injured. You just can't win every game, and what would be the real fun in that any way. No one should want to win all the time, because it will be harder to accept loss when it finally did come around.
So to all those true fans out there, lift a full glass, lift and air glass, lift and empty class, to our beloved Boston Red Sox. Show and give your support always and pledge your lifelong loyalty to a team deserving of your loyalty.
To the Boston Red Sox, I wish you all the luck in today's 1:35 pm game against the Toronto Blue Jays. May you send them flying away home safely, but empty-handed.
Thank you Boston Red Sox for being everything you are to so many people! Felina Silver Robinson

Catholic religious brother dies of Ebola in Liberia
Saint Joseph's Catholic Hospital and the Hospitaller Order of Saint John of God in Liberia have announced that a hospital director passed away Aug. 2 after contracting the Ebola virus.
Brother Patrick Nshamdze, 52, had been a member of the Hospitaller Order of Saint John of God for 23 years. He reportedly contracted the Ebola virus on July 29, just two weeks after testing negative for the illness.
So far the Ebola virus has killed nearly 900 people across Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. According to the World Health Organization, Ebola has no vaccine and no specific treatment. The virus is spread through direct contact with blood, secretions or other bodily fluids of infected persons. This outbreak has a fatality rate of around 60 percent, according to reports.
St. Joseph's Catholic Hospital in Monrovia is closed, as five other religious brothers with the virus have been quarantined, including two members of the Order of Saint John of God and three Missionary Sisters of the Immaculate Conception. The hospital's administrator, originally from Ghana, also remains under observation.
According to the Madrid-based Juan Ciudad Foundation, which is connected with the Hospitaller order, only officials from the Ministry of Health are being allowed access to the hospital. So far they have preferred to avoid contact with those who are sick with the virus.
The superior general of the Hospitaller Order of Saint John of God, Father Jesus Etayo, called for more prayer for the sick and expressed thanks for the help received from NGOs.
The Hospitaller Order of Saint John of God was founded in Spain in the 16th century by John Ciudad, later known as St. John of God. The order cares for the poor, sick, homeless and dying. It operates in more than 50 countries, the order's U.S. website says.

Mold has been a problem for a long time. The first documented remediation of mold can be found in the Bible, in the book of Leviticus chapter 14, verses 36-41. Molds are a type of Fungi that have always been on the planet.
The current problem with mold is that we desire for better heating and air conditioning and we want to make our home more energy conservative. So we have tightened our homes, and have changed the way they are constructed. Have we caused the MOLD problem?

in Health
Host - Marianne Russo

What does inflammation, immune stimulation and toxic mold have to do with mental illness and pain syndromes?
Some of the infections and toxins that we know are associated with depression and anxiety are molds. Neurological Lyme is also well known for creating psychiatric complications. There is good evidence that streptococcus infections not treated properly can lead to obsessive-compulsive disorder, also called PANDAS.
Another source of psychiatric illness are encephalopathies like Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever that get into the spinal cord. Later or at the same time, people are diagnosed with psychiatric illnesses, including mania.
Toxic Mold, genetics and various other immunological stimulations can cause depression, joint pain, anxiety, fatigue, brain fog, mood disorders, insomnia and many other issues.
The Golden Finals...The 1984 Season, Part One.
in Sports
In the first of a series, Steve takes us back to the Tipping Point of modern NBA History, the 1984-85 Finals Classics between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics, where Larry Bird and Magic Johnson would finally meet with the World Championship on the Line. This episode sets the table for what would become the gold standard for competition in the NBA. The subplots were just as compelling,as the League was stocked with stars such as Bernard King, Isiah Thomas, Mark Aguirre, The Doctor, Moses, Walter Davis, Sidney Moncrief, and their newest Star, Houston Center Ralph Sampson. We would see the legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar ascend to the throne of the NBA's alltime scoring leader, surpassing former rival and Laker Legend Wilt Chamberlain. Behind the scenes a new force would take the reins of the league and begin to mold its future...Commissioner David Stern. But the Basketball world would finally get what it was waiting for, the winner-take-all matchup between the irresistible object and the immovable force...Bird vs. Magic.

"ElfQuest LoveFest." What, you've never heard of ElfQuest? Where've you been these last 35 years? Back then, there were NO independent comics -- and certainly no female comic-book artists -- until Wendy Pini broke the mold with ElfQuest, a richly detailed fantasy that can be enjoyed on multiple levels (with her husband Richard handling the administrative publisher side). I first discovered it when I was in college, but Amber Skies, a professional "CosPlayer," has been a lifelong fan! She joins me this morning to help me introduce you to incredible art and sprawling saga of Elfquest, often considered to be the first American Manga.

MIRAMAR, Fla., Nov. 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Connectivity and content demands on cruise operators increase significantly as cruise passenger and crew communications requirements grow. To address these passenger and crew connectivity needs and to ensure that cruise operators stay ahead of connectivity demands, MTN Satellite Communications (MTN) announces the launch of MTN Nexus™.
To view the multimedia assets associated with this release, please click: http://www.multivu.com/mnr/59055-mtn-satellite-communications-launches-mtn-nexus-next-generation-network
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121119/MM13875)
MTN Nexus is the company's next-generation communications network — a hybrid network that builds on a 30-year legacy of satellite connectivity leadership and innovation. This new network will deliver sophisticated computing, caching and security infrastructure to deliver connectivity and communications to a degree never realized before at sea and in port.
"There is no communication network like MTN Nexus in the world," said Errol Olivier, CEO and president of MTN. "For 30 years, we have innovated new ways to deliver connectivity and content where no terrestrial wireless or wireline networks could connect vessels far out at sea. But passengers and crew no longer accept limitations — they want to stream video, post their updates on Facebook and share vacation images with friends … or even family members sailing with them on the same ship. MTN Nexus bridges the gap between land-based and sea-based connectivity and content delivery. Today, we are launching a solution that will enable our cruise partners to cater to their always-connected passengers and crew."
The Demand
According to a recent Business Insider report, consumers expect to be connected everywhere, as evidenced by the more than 2 billion people online today via Internet devices. Smartphone sales overtook PC sales in 2011, and Business Insider also cites social networking as the second most popular mobile application in terms of consumption per minute. Today these trends reflect vacationers' expectations — to keep their devices with them, to keep them on and to keep them connected.
MTN Nexus seamlessly integrates three critical components that, until now, have never been combined into one maritime communications solution:
- A hybrid satellite and terrestrial wireless network
- A cloud computing-based optimization platform
- New products and services enabled only through this hybrid solution
"The demand for bandwidth will never go away; however, how bandwidth is managed and delivered on a vessel or fleet of vessels can simplify the delivery of smooth, reliable service," said Simon Bull, senior consultant, COMSYS. "The MTN Nexus solution, integrating satellite with a terrestrial network and combined with throughput efficiencies, introduces a smart solution for meeting passenger and crew demand."
The Network
MTN recently made a significant investment in a cruise-specific, purpose-built payload through the launch of Intelsat's EpicNG satellite constellation. MTN partnered with Intelsat to carefully engineer the delivery of maximum bit-to-hertz efficiency, which has resulted in unmatched throughput and global interoperability to key cruising areas around the world. The partnership has enabled the delivery of a High Throughput Multi-Spot Beam (HTMS) solution delivering up to 500 Mbps per beam in the Caribbean.
MTN HTMS™ will enable vessels to seamlessly roam between MTN HTMS beams and conventional Ku-beams. This collaboration will ensure global coverage and redundancy while reducing cost and antenna complexities. MTN service will remain backward compatible with existing Ku-band satellite systems, current network infrastructure and customer-preferred network topology, making it the most interoperable network available.
That network design was the first step in developing MTN Nexus. The second was combining MTN's global satellite capabilities with a terrestrial network building a Near-Port/In-Port network using Wi-Fi, 3G, 4G, WiMAX and/or LTE. As vessels move into port, they will switch to Wi-Fi infrastructure using a sophisticated smart switching technology. As a Wi-Fi connection is established, MTN will seamlessly reallocate unneeded satellite capacity back to ships at sea, maximizing capacity and affordability for cruise lines. The results are maximized efficiencies of unused bandwidth when ships are in port and a better end-user experience as crew and passengers move from ship to shore and back on port days without service interruption.
The Platform
MTN ShipCloud™ is an integrated shoreside and shipboard platform that will build on the MTN Nexus hybrid network. Leveraging cloud computing technology, MTN ShipCloud will deliver powerful infrastructure for faster processing and caching of data and content. Content enhancements and processing advancements on the vessel are geared to improve the end-user experience.
The Products and Services
The powerful combination of the MTN Nexus hybrid network, coupled with the MTN ShipCloud platform, will enable the delivery of a communication and content products suite specifically optimized for maritime use to deliver social media solutions, content and calling apps for a more enjoyable at-sea experience. In addition, because MTN Nexus is an open platform, MTN products, as well as cruise-specific products and products from third parties, can be integrated for complete optimization and delivery.
Today, MTN is launching its next-generation network to the cruise market, but it will ultimately expand these capabilities to other key markets that demand the same connection, content and user experience as on land.
"Bandwidth is only part of the solution to the connectivity demands we see every day from our cruise partners," Olivier said. "The complete solution is an integrated hybrid communications platform specifically designed for the cruise market to further enhance the total user experience. MTN's next-generation network, built on a worldwide infrastructure, will minimize costs, maximize throughput, optimize operations and deliver the greatest profitability to our partners. MTN Nexus is a purpose-built solution to deliver the at-home experience at sea and in or near port. We know this market better than anyone, and we know how to solve the problems. MTN Nexus will forever change the way we all think about communications at sea."
About MTN
MTN Satellite Communications is the leading global provider of maritime communications, connectivity and content services to remote locations around the world. MTN was the first company to offer a stabilized, very small aperture terminal, VSAT, satellite solution for ships at sea, which has contributed to the evolution of the satellite industry over the past three decades. Through MTN's reliable global communications network and expertise, the company continues to deliver solutions across various markets while addressing the unique challenges and needs for each. Today, MTN offers services and solutions to cruise lines, commercial ships, mobile and fixed oil and gas vessels, mega yachts, government entities and aviation customers.

Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

Was there a dragon sighted near Magic Kingdom?
Send this to a friend

Get out your flame-retardant chain mail and dragon-slaying mace of courage, Orlando. (That's a Dungeons and Dragon reference for you folks who were too cool to get into that ...)
Anyways, Walt Dated World, a fans site dedicated to Disney news, had a series of tweets that an "ultralight dragon" was doing test flights over Walt Disney World early in the morning of Nov. 30.
Here's a tweet: @WaltDatedWorld — "Ultralight dragon is doing test flight circles or figure 8 flight pattern over non resort area by Bonnet Creek..."
Specifically, the flying machine is designed to look like a dragon and is equipped with what seems like a rear propeller and a parachute over head.
As to what said dragon could be for is still rumor, but many blogs speculate that the flying dragon could be part of a special show related to the opening of Fantasyland at Magic Kingdom on Dec. 6.
Think after a fireworks show you can see the silhouette of a dragon flying over Fantasyland each night.
The dragon news is just another piece of an ongoing chain of dragon and Disney-related news such as recent blogs and pictures generated by Disney as viral marketing.
Either way, this is just more fuel to the fire of excitement many fans like myself have for next week's unveiling of Fantasyland.

Customer Reviews:
1. "I finally got Stage 2 and I'm just wondering why it took me so long to get it. It's a tune that keeps on giving. The acceleration now is linear. There are no dead spots and the pulling power is greatly improved throughout the whole power band. Personally I think acceleration is smoother now then when the car was stock. Well done AA, you guys took an awesome car and multiplied its awesomeness by two. Just one thing, are you guys sure its 15 Hp? It just seems like its a lot more then that."
2."If you have been following the "*Official* Active Autowerke Flash Thread" (http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=634855) you already know there are a lot of questions regarding the gains from the N52 Stage 2 version of the AA tune. Being someone who already had the original version of the AA tune, I was very excited to hear AA has tweaked its original offering. To my understanding they found a way to play with the valve timing in the VANOS software to give you a more aggressive cam profile. Initial reviews were positive with claims of another 5-8 HP over the original tune. I couldn't wait any more and called up Jon at Bimmersport.ca (local GTA AA dealer) and setup a time to re flash my car. Using advice from MaximusJ I also had Jon clear my adaptations. I have run half a tank of aggressive driving through my car and I am here to say I am happy with the results.
Initial impressions were subtle with improvements being more noticeable at the top end. As I neared 300 km on the new tune I felt the "sweet spot" widen on the power band between 5-7k rpm. It really feels like the engine has more power on the top end to the point of a surging like feel when the needle gets up there. The initial claims of 5-8 hp didn't feel too far from the truth using my super accurate butt dyno
The "dead" spot from 3500-4500 I had before seems to be eliminated also! This improvement combined with the more aggressive throttle response, the 155mph limiter removal and the few hundred RPM added to the redline make this a no brainier for anyone with a 330i (or 325/328 with a 3 stage intake manifold). I just wanted to share my experience with the E90 community and hopefully we get a more comprehensive dyno from AA?!?!"
3."Got my AA tune last Fri @ VAC in Philly. The shop and folks are top notch. They gave me a nice tour and it is a true end-to-end do-anything facility.
The tune is excellent. The guys at AA definitely know how to milk this engine. After 100mi on the car it is still getting better each day. This is a must tune for N52. The car is smooth, strong and the throttle response is much better. If somebody has any doubts I can confirm that this is my fav mod so far.
To guys at AA - thanks for all the hours put in developing this tune!!
Now get back to work and give us the next one!"
4."AA Tune stage 2 w/ Simon Tool experience, part two:
Part one (aka, pre-tune impressions) is a few pages back for anyone interested.
So I sent in the ECU read file to AA over the weekend and received the tuned file back promptly on Monday from Zak, their software engineer. I went ahead and uploaded to the Simon tool, it was no problem at all. The tool is pretty easy to use overall, however it seemed to have some trouble downloading the ECU file to my windows 7 laptop so I used my xp laptop and it was perfectly fine.
For a N51 328i the ECU read took about 55 minutes, longer than the 40 I was expecting, and also, it is a bit risky, but I can attest to the fact that a fully charged battery in good condition can last two of these reads (guess how I know this?!).
Now for the actual flashing... this is where things got real scary! I plugged in the Simon tool and pressed go, and then everything just went... haywire, at least it sounded that way. In addition to the electric whine you hear when the car is "on", my entire car begin to make a loud noise mostly in the rear half of the car, definitely NOT ordinary sounding, the best way to describe it is that it makes me think of the sound a water boiler makes, which is a loud hum and hissing noise. If anyone wants to hear what it sounds like, I'll upload the found I recorded during this process. My dash also lit up with the traction control light as well as a symbol of a foot on the brake. But those didn't concern me as much as the loud hissing noise from the car.
Fortunately, the upload only took about 10 minutes, and as soon as the writing is done, all the noises stopped, and I breathed a sigh of relief. Disconnected the simon tool and started the car, and it started right up, no hesitation, no shake, perfect.
Now for the real review: Immediately after starting the car, I can hear some subtle differences in the sound, in a very good way. Driving impression after letting the car warm up was just wonderful. If you guys remember, I used to have the BMS power box for more than a year, which I disabled prior to doing the AA Tune. I took a few drives in the car after disabling PBX, and while I felt the car being less eager, I really enjoyed the smoothness of the drive, and hoped the AA tune would preserve that.
The tune from AA really did not disappoint, it indeed did make the car feel stronger, you can definitely feel the car being more enthusiastic on accelerations. But the best part is that the power comes on so smoothly compared to the PBX. With the power box, I been having trouble driving "well" since with the throttle remap, the car feels faster, at the cost of being jerky (I use Map 2, not 3). But since it made the throttle too sensitive, the shifts come along a bit sudden and hard. In my last two days with the AA tune, the car pulls strong, very linear, and the shifts are much easier to predict.
In terms of where the additional power comes in, before I seem to have to push the car to 3K before it felt "light on its feet" and sprints ahead, now that feeling comes at 2k'ish, which really makes a big difference in everyday driving. And with the throttle not as overly sensitive, it's easier to have a smooth ride as well.
Haven't tried full throttle yet as it's been raining here, maybe next week I'm really hoping that the ECU doesn't adapt to the changes over time because I'm really really enjoying the tune right now, big thanks to AA for doing such a good job on it."
5."AA and VAC were great! I'm liking the tune very much.
As you can see from the dyno sheet above, there are gains over the entire rev range in both HP and torque. You can definitely feel the difference.
Lower in the revs, there is a sense of urgency in the way that is pulls. The car doesn't feel as "lazy" as it did before. Yes, the throttle respose has been increased, but it's not in any way shape or form too aggressive. It feels right.
Mid-range is where you can definitely feel the difference. Before, mid-turn throttle inputs were not so dramatic, now, the car really scoots along and pulls very well out of corners. Driveability is made easier as well just rolling onto the throttle the pick-up is great.
High-end it just keeps pulling and pulling and pulling. I'm not hitting the rev limiter when I'm shifting because it wants to go. With the stock tune, I'd shift before I hit the rev limiter because it would stop pulling. You can see how the stock graph starts to flatten out at about 5,900 rpm where the tuned graph is making a steeper slope on the HP figure (meaning it's still increasing HP). VAC's goal is to do everything properly and not to beat on the car, so he stopped the pull prior to the rev limiter kicking in. There is still more HP at the top end for sure. Not blowing up my engine is more of a priority
You must realize this is a VERY tight Mustang dyno so the "big" hp numbers aren't going to be generated (Mike, please talk to this point of the delta of Kosh's M3 and what he pulled with you guys and what was pulled on a Dynojet).
In the end, I'm very happy with the tune. The car seems to run effortlessly and pulls stronger everywhere. Driveability is better and performance is enhanced. Win - win for me.
Thanks VAC and AA for a job well done "

If it is anything like what DS was able to unlock then it will be worth it. Seems like adding in the control over the Valve lift is where the substantial amount of power is gained.
Andrew keep this thread updated with the Official news from you guys.
So glad to finally have direct access to AA on an official thread.

Cannot wait to see the numbers when valve lift is factored in.
DS guaranteed 270, but I feel like you guys know what's up. When do you think you'll have it ready to be released? Any guess as to the numbers?

I'm totally in if you guys do some work on the 325 w/ 3-stage manifold conversion. Also if you guys could get the throttle to behave like a cable throttle that'd be awesome. I used the BT tool to sample data from ecu. I compared throttle blade position with pedal position and there the throttle blade movements are heavily dampened.
Just for everyones information, I looked at the data while someone drove the car and valvetronic doesn't behave like everyone thinks it does. The only time the throttle is wide open is when the throttle pedal is to the floor. At least that's what I observed. I also looked at the eccentric shaft position and it also moved up and down with the throttle pedal. I'm not sure how it all ties in exactly but it'd be really cool to see what AA has in store.

The price is very competative with others tunes on the market. Does the Simon handheld flash programmer unmarries itself from the car once the tune is removed from the car?

I find the price a little on the high side,but definitely a great way to start.
I am very excited to see AA getting their hands even dirtier with looking at the valve lift.
Can you also look into getting more power with the 328. I want to test your map on a 328 that has a 3 stage intake manifold installed. We discussed this earlier, but handheld is even better.
Also, would AA be able to enable data logging with this unit (like the cobb), like seeing the oil temperature, and other features?
PM me if you need a tester up in Toronto, Canada (must be for 3-stage manifold mod)

I really like this option so far. You guys have a great reputation for results, and now with a handheld tuner it is even better. Plus looks like the lowest price on this combo that I have seen so far. Best of all no need to worry about flash stations that don't honor AA promotions......

High-sensitive troponin T in chronic heart failure correlates with severity of symptoms, left ventricular dysfunction and prognosis independently from N-terminal pro-b-type natriuretic peptide.
ABSTRACT Troponin T is an established marker of myocardial ischemia. We speculated that the role of the new high-sensitive troponin T (hs-cTnT) might expand towards non-ischemic myocardial disease, indicate disease severity and allow for prognostication in chronic heart failure.
Hs-cTnT (Roche Diagnostics, Mannheim, Germany) was assessed in 233 individuals with chronic heart failure (n=149) or healthy controls (n=84).
Hs-cTnT was significantly elevated in patients with chronic heart failure [0.018 ng/mL, interquartile range (IQR) 0.009-0.036 ng/mL, vs. controls 0.003 ng/mL, 0.003-0.003 ng/mL, p<0.001] and positively correlated with N-terminal pro-b-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) (r=0.79, p<0.001). Hs-cTnT increased stepwise and signitificantly according to clinical (NYHA stage) as well as functional (LV ejection fraction, fluid retention) severity (each p<0.001). At a binary cutpoint of 0.014 ng/mL, hs-TropT was a significant predictor of all-cause mortality and all-cause mortality or rehospitalization for congestive heart failure (each p≤0.01). Of note, the prognostic value of hs-TropT was independent and additive to that of NT-proBNP.
Hs-cTnT increases stepwise with the severity of symptoms and LV dysfunction and offers important prognostic information in chronic heart failure, independently from and additive to NT-proBNP. The utility of hs-cTnT expands beyond acute myocardial ischemia and towards chronic heart failure.

ABSTRACT: We presume that biomarkers will improve identification of patients at risk, leading to interventions and treatments that reduce perioperative adverse events. Risk stratification is multifactorial, and a biomarker must add information to this process, thereby redistributing patients to either higher or lower risk categories, to improve the allocation of expensive and risky interventions. This review focuses on the utility of three cardiac biomarkers in perioperative management. Using newly defined epidemiologic criteria, three distinct molecules, brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), troponin (cTn), and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) emerge as potentially useful in perioperative medicine. A meta-analysis shows, in vascular surgery, BNP improves risk stratification. Four articles highlight the utility of postoperative cTn measurements in cases of myocardial injury. These articles show that most injury is not infarction, and they present preliminary evidence of the populations that will benefit from structured surveillance protocols. HbA1c is shown to improve the prediction of mortality, but there are questions whether this risk is modifiable. The findings here suggest an expanded role for postoperative cTn surveillance; however, the precise populations that benefit, or the interventions required, are not yet defined. The encouraging data for the other two biomarkers need more investigations before adopting them into routine clinical use.Current opinion in critical care 08/2013; 19(4):334-41. · 2.67 Impact Factor
Article: High-sensitivity Troponin T Is Associated with Poor Outcome in Adults with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension due to Congenital Heart Disease.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE: Pulmonary arterial hypertension due to congenital heart disease (CHD-PAH) has a poor prognosis. We sought to determine whether the biomarker high-sensitivity troponin T (hsTnT) measured on routine visit at the outpatient clinic is associated with prognosis. PATIENTS: Consecutive adult CHD-PAH (86% Eisenmenger syndrome) patients referred for advanced medical therapy between January 2005 and March 2007 in the Academic Medical Center in Amsterdam. Patients with severe renal impairment were excluded. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: The primary outcome was mortality. RESULTS: Of all 31 patients (mean age 45 ± 12 years) with CHD-PAH, eight patients died during a median follow-up of 5.6 (range 1.6 to 6.8) years. A hsTnT level >0.014 μg/L was the 99th percentile cutoff of the normal distribution and therefore defined as elevated. At baseline, elevated levels of hsTnT were found in eight patients (26%). In univariate Cox regression, hsTnT elevated at baseline, NT-pro-BNP and right ventricular function were determinants of death (P < .05 for all). Patients with elevated levels of hsTnT showed a significantly higher mortality rate as compared to patients with normal hsTnT levels (62% vs. 13%, P = .005). CONCLUSION: Levels of hsTnT were abnormal in a substantial proportion of CHD-PAH patients. A significant inverse relationship was found between hsTnT and survival.Congenital Heart Disease 12/2012; · 1.01 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Prognosis permits clinicians to separate persons with heart failure (HF) into subgroups based on likely health outcomes. Treatment is partly guided by these likely outcomes. This systematic review explores whether brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and N-terminal proBNP (NT-proBNP) are independent predictors of prognosis in persons with chronic stable HF. We electronically searched Medline, Embase, AMED, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and CINAHL for English-language articles published between 1989 and mid-2012. We utilized trained reviewers and standardized forms to screen articles for inclusion and extracted data from included articles. All included studies were summarized in narrative and tabular form. We used the Hayden criteria to assess the risk of bias. Sixteen BNP publications and 88 NT-proBNP publications were included in the systematic review. BNP was positively associated with all-cause and HF mortality. NT-proBNP was positively associated with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. BNP and NT-proBNP levels are useful for estimating prognosis in persons with chronic stable HF. Further research is required to establish optimal cutpoints and to assess whether prognostic effects differ by age, sex, or time period.Heart Failure Reviews 07/2014; · 4.45 Impact Factor
