Mushrooms are the only vegetable source of vitamin D. They contain the sterol ergosterol a precursor of vitamin D2, much like beta-carotene is a precursor of vitamin A. When exposed to light ergosterol is converted to vitamin D2. All mushrooms are a source of vitamin D2, but shiitake contain much more. The common button or white mushroom contain less than 1% daily value (DV) vitamin D per serving. Eden Dried Sliced Shiitake are an excellent source of vitamin D containing 25% DV per serving. They are a good source of niacin B3 and fat and sodium free. According to the FDA, "Low fat diets rich in fruits and vegetables (foods that are low in fat and may contain dietary fiber, Vitamin A, or Vitamin C) may reduce the risk of some types of cancer, a disease associated with many factors." Eden Shiitake Mushrooms are an excellent source of fiber. Also, "Diets low in sodium may reduce the risk of hypertension or high blood pressure, a disease associated with many factors."
Shiitake mushrooms Lentinula edodes are highly valued as food and tonic in the Far East where their cultivation began over 1,000 years ago. Shiitake are the second most common edible mushroom in the world after the white button mushroom. Shiitake have long been recognized as a health food, a quality attributed in part to their abundance of complex carbohydrates known as polysaccharides. Lentinan and lentinula edodes mycelium (LEM) are two polysaccharides in shiitake that scientists find contribute to building and maintaining a healthy immune system. Shiitake are believed to have anti-viral properties and support healthy liver function. Shiitake counteract the effects of excess salt and animal food.
Soak Eden Sliced Shiitake Mushrooms in warm water to cover for 5 to 7 minutes and they are ready. Reserve the soaking water for cooking. For soups, stews, and broth there is no need to soak. Simply add to the pot and cook. Tender in minutes. Use as you would other fresh or dried mushrooms in stir fries, soups, stews, gravies, sauces, and pasta dishes. Make Shiitake Tea. Use Eden Sliced Shiitake in place of beef or bouillon cubes in French onion soup or in place of chicken in rice, noodle, and vegetable soups. Their sparkling flavor delights.

A little dirt doesn't hurt Bears' Jay Cutler

The Cincinnati Bengals are a good team — not great, but good — and you'll take a win over them any way you can.
Especially on Opening Day. Especially with a new head coach, new assistants, a new middle linebacker, a new O-line, a new tight end, a new vision.
And especially if it means you have to come back in the fourth quarter to do it.
But most of all, it's nice if you can do it — as the Bears did, 24-21 on Sunday at Soldier Field — with the same old quarterback you've had for years and from whom you've basically come to expect the worst.
Jay Cutler, 30, now in his fifth year in Chicago, played a terrific game.
His stats weren't off-the-charts amazing — 21-for-33 passing for 242 yards, two touchdowns, one interception — but they were a testament to his ability to adapt, to ratchet down, to create at the right moment, to forget, to learn and to bond with a new offensive guru.
''The goal in the first half was to find out a little bit more about ourselves,'' said rookie head coach Marc Trestman, meaning himself and everybody under him. But mostly he meant his young offensive linemen and the veteran quarterback who was sacked 38 times last season.
The goal — at the beginning, at least — was to keep Cutler ''clean.''
But one of the best parts of Cutler's first game under the play-calling Trestman was his 18-yard scramble in the fourth quarter that got him officially dirty. That and another hair-raising roll-right, scramble-left pass by Cutler were the creative acts that stood out in an overall erratic game.
The beginning was bad, but that led to some knowledge at the end.
''No one got frustrated early,'' Cutler said of the 21-10 hole the Bears were in midway through the third quarter. ''Fourth quarter, that's when you have to win ballgames in this league.''
Oh, you could say the Bears' defense bailed out the offense, as we've seen so many times though the years. But let's forget for a moment about those two interceptions and two forced fumbles by Pro Bowl cornerbacks Peanut Tillman and Tim Jennings.
Let's note instead that Cutler was playing under his fourth offensive coordinator in six years, and that the one thing Trestman had lamented about camp was that he didn't get enough time to work individually with Cutler. ''Not enough reps,'' is how he put it.
And so our concern was that Cutler would be rusty, uncertain, confused.
As wide receiver Brandon Marshall, whose great catches all day long yanked Cutler out of tough spots, said of the QB, ''Jay was amazing in the huddle.''
That is, he was on top of everything, leading with confidence.
Indeed, if players think their reads and keys are difficult in a new offensive system, they should take the quarterback's playbook for a spin. It resembles an instruction manual for a submarine. With road grader options.
Yes, Cutler threw a bad pass to start the fourth quarter that was intercepted by Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict. But, unflappable Jay that he is, he said, ''It's going to happen — it's one of those things.''
So thanks, Jennings, for getting the ball right back by causing and recovering that fumble by Bengals wideout Mohamed Sanu.
That's when Cutler led an eight-play, 81-yard drive for the winning touchdown, finished by a nice 19-yard pass into the right edge of the end zone that Marshall held on to with his large, strong hands as safety Reggie Nelson tried to yank it free.
In the first quarter, Cutler also got a nice finger grab by new tight end Martellus Bennett for a touchdown, an eight-yarder that the 265-pound Bennett held on to as Bengals safety George Iloka whacked at it.
Quarterbacks need good receivers with good hands. Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton has A.J. Green (nine receptions, 162 yards, two TDs). But they need themselves and their connection with their offensive leader most of all.
That connection seemed to be there between Cutler and Trestman, especially if we believe that half this game was spent trying to keep Cutler upright and grass-stain-free, with little regard to actually moving the ball.
The offense was far from perfect, Cutler noted, ''but it didn't have to be.''
Just win the fourth quarter.
Trestman praised Cutler's big scrambling plays, pointing out those had nothing to do with the game plan or the coach's play-calling.
So far, these two are best pals.

Dick Clark passed away on April 18, but the mark the 82-year-old left on the world of television will last forever. Here are some Twitter tributes from Clark's famous friends, including Ryan Seacrest, Joan Rivers and New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg.

Originally the spores were supposed to be a hive mind intelligence, telepathically linked to one another. Their health giving properties were so extreme that they could even revive the dead, and the cure was to drink alcohol - Kirk deinfected Spock by literally pouring alcohol down his throat. The twist was that the spores were entirely benign, intending no harm to anybody.
The shot of the empty bridge set was reused in TNG's "Relics" as the holodeck recreation of the Enterprise 1701.
|Quote :
|"I have never understood the female capacity to avoid a direct answer to any question." - Spock to Leila
"I am what I am, Leila. And if there are self-made purgatories, then we all have to live in them. Mine can be no worse than someone else's." - Spock to Leila
"Maybe we weren't meant for Paradise. Maybe we were meant to fight our way through, struggle, claw our way up, scratch for every inch of the way. Maybe we can't stroll to music of the lute, we must march to the sound of drums." - Kirk to McCoy
"I have little to say about it, Captain, except that for the first time in my life... I was happy." - Spock to Kirk
The Enterprise visits Omicron Ceti III, the site of a recent Federation colony effort. Unfortunately the effort was believed to be doomed to failure - it was discovered after the ship left that the planet was flooded with berthold rays a deadly form of radiation which no human can survive. Amazingly, though, when the landing party beams down they discover that the colonists are in fact still alive and well!
The colony is led by a man named Elias Sandoval, and includes Leila Kalomi, a botanist Spock knew some years ago. Leila was in love with Spock and always hoped that he might come to love her in return, but was disappointed when his predominantly Vulcan nature led him to deny any such feelings.
As McCoy checks the colonists out he is amazed to find that every single one of them is in absolutely perfect health. Remarkable enough in a large group of people, the change has apparently even erased any trace of previous ailments or injuries. Sandoval claims this is simply a result of their healthy lifestyle and diet, but it is clear that something strange is going on. The Enterprise crew also notice that there is a total lack of any animals life on the planet, and that the colonists don't actually seem to have done much work on the colony in all the time they have been there.
Leila tells Spock there is a great secret on the planet, and promises to show it to him. She leads him to a nearby plant which blasts him with spores. Instantly his emotional barriers disintegrate, and he immediately confesses his love to Leila. Spock leads Sulu and Kelowitz to the flowers to be infected too, and the landing party is quickly overcome. McCoy even beams specimens of the plants up to the ship to spread the infection. In each case the spores give the infected person a feeling of utter peace and tranquility and completely cure any physical injury or ailment, even the effect of berthold rays. However, with their minds completely at peace the infected have no drive, no ambition. The colony is undeveloped because they have spent almost all their time there simply idling. Kirk argues that humanity should not live in such a state, seeing it as simple stagnation, but nobody will listen to him. He returns to the ship to find that the crew have sabotaged it to prevent him from communicating with Starfleet, and almost everybody has beamed down.
Left alone on the bridge and powerless to do anything, Kirk begins to make a log entry when a plant on the bridge finally manages to infect him. He calls Spock to let him know he is on their side now and goes to beam down... but at the last moment he shakes the effect of the spores off and returns to normal. He realises that the prospect of losing the Enterprise for good sent him into an emotional storm and that this cleared the spores from his body. Sensing a weapon of sorts, Kirk calls Spock and convinces him to come up to the ship. He taunts Spock with insults, including racial bigotry. Spock becomes agitated and finally snaps, attacking and almost killing Kirk before he suddenly calms, having restored his emotional blocks as the spores lose their grip. Spock is able to create a subsonic sound transmitter that will provoke the crew below into increasing anger, prompting fights and breaking the control of the spores. Leila beams to the ship, desperate to convince Spock to rejoin her below, but he is immovable in following his duty. The distressed Leila breaks down and cries, and her grief breaks the spores control over her in turn.
The transmitter works, and the crew are soon back to normal. Sandoval comes to realise that their time on the planet has been wasted, and swears to leave and begin over on another world. As Kirk and McCoy reflect on their 'expulsion from paradise' Spock notes that, for the first time in his life, he was truly happy here.
A decent enough episode, this, but it never really gelled with me. The spores are just a bit too implausible, and frankly silly. Yeah, I get that they are essentially just a plot device and the idea is not "could this really happen" but rather "what if this did happen" but even so, it just doesn't work well for me.
And the resolution... the spores just go away if you get really emotional? That's kind of silly. Also silly is that Kirk is the only person on the whole ship who got so emotional that he was able to get clear. Nobody else felt that way about abandoning their lives?
On the upside, it's very sweet to see Spock in love. And it's very poignant to see him have to rebuff Leila later on. But seriously, we've already done the "Spock loses control of his emotions" once in "The Naked Time". Did we need to go here again?

SGX from Harrisburg, PA | 7/28/2014 10:24 AM
Originally had a SG5 upgraded to an SGX, within 7 months it went bad internal problem as they like to say, so they replaced it, second one was worse then first but worked but was hard to charge and now it also has an internal problem, think it was a refurbished one and it ran out of warranty, when I talked to then of course pay this and get this, not worth it.
Joe Gurowka from Fort Myers, FL | 1/31/2014 8:20 AM
Product does what SkyCaddie says it will do. Easy to read display and easy to use.
Loppie007 from Washington DC | 7/31/2013 8:17 PM
I have my skycaddy sgx wireless for about 2 years. The battery doesn't last more than one round so forget about using it for 36 holes on the same day. On top of that now my skycaddy's GPS signal 'died' and tech support only offers me a pre-owned skycaddy. I tell you what... That is poor service. It is not worth the money (and don't even mention the high subscription fees!)
Dennis Forstrom from Minneapolis, PA | 6/19/2012 11:10 AM
I purchased the SGX less then a month ago and have returned it. It never worked properly in the time I owned it. Customer service is terrible, 30 – 45 minutes before you get to talk with anyone is standard and tech support is done on-line using the keyboard. I owned a SG5 for three years and am sorry I sold it. The joystick is a laugh and was told by Skygolf CS to turn it off. I will not be buying anything from Skygolf until they fix their Customer Service.
Peter Smith from Chippewa Falls, WI | 8/4/2011 7:26 AM
I have owned the SG2 model (the original) from the beginning and it was time for an upgrade. The SGX is unreal. The only thing it doesn't do is hit your golf shot. I'm not going to go into features because you can read them on your own. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 stars for functionality is for the little joystick. It takes a little while to get used to and can be touchy. I am a SkyCaddie owner for life, keep up the great work!

CES 2013: Pebble watch looks like one stone that's on a roll
BY ANDY IHNATKO January 10, 2013 2:08PM
Pebble watch
Updated: January 11, 2013 7:30AM
Many friends of mine attend CES every year. Their messages to me over the course of seven days follow a predictable arc. "Don't you wish you were here?" they say, after they've spotted their first Amazing Thing. By the time they return home, and every moment of a 14-hour workday is devoted to either catching up on missed work or examining tissues to see if what they've just sneezed out or coughed up contains anything alarming, this will have transitioned to "I wish I were dead."
Ah, my little Mars Rovers. Sent at great expense into a hostile, life-pummeling environment, sending back data that I can then analyze in safety and comfort and with a stimulating beverage at the ready.
My correspondence with the gang on Wednesday was dominated by a single product, which I hereby designate as CES 2013's Biggest Generator Of Genuine, Sarcasm-Busting Glee Among Tech Pundits And Analysts: the Pebble E-Paper Watch.
Pebble caused a huge splash early last year, when the device appeared on Kickstarter and was fairly successful; on the very last day of the fund-raising campaign, they managed to raise only just slightly more than 100 times the $100,000 its makers were seeking.
Cool. The campaign's overwhelming success definitely illustrated the pent-up demand for a wristwatch that's intimately connected to the phone in one's pocket. But it was a Kickstarter project. Who could guess when the thing would ship? Who knew if the maker could actually deliver all of the features they'd promised? And who could say if this product would actually be anything more than a $149 novelty? Pebble is by no means the first watch of this kind.
Well, after a charming press conference in which Pebble's founder and designer Eric Migicovsky needed to apologize for having blue skin in the live feed but which otherwise was pitch-perfect, we know the answers to two of those questions. Pebbles will begin shipping out to tens of thousands of Kickstarter backers on Jan. 23. The next batch from their 15,000-per-week production run will go to folks who pre-ordered it from http://getpebble.com/. The very first watches will deliver every promised feature and then some.
The last question is still up in the air. But boy, does Pebble look promising. It was such a good demo that when it was time to write a formal article about it, the pundits who (like me) were watching the live feed would be inspired to describe Migicovsky's skin tone as "reminiscent of a mighty and proud Na'vi warrior" instead of "Smurf-like."
The central strength of this watch — as introduced in their Kickstarter video and emphatically underscored during Migicovsky's presentation — is the concept of the smartwatch as a blank canvas. It's not really designed to replace any of the functions of the iOS or Android phone in your pocket. Instead, Pebble gives your phone an extra screen, an extra vibration emitter and an extra set of buttons, and allows it to inform and assist you even when it's tucked inside a pocket. An app on your phone communicates with the watch and sends it notifications (texts, caller ID info, email, and even system-level notifications from the apps on your phone and from Pebble-enabled web apps). Through Pebble's few, simple buttons, you can dump calls to voicemail, control your music player, and scroll through the headers of recent messages.
Aside: I can't move forward until I note this intriguing new wrinkle in our personal Chain of Digital Command.
My notebook or iPad allows me leave the office when all I need to do is work on a couple of things today. My iPhone lets me leave my notebook in my bag when I'm riding the subway and I just want to jot down a quick note or send off an email. And now a Pebble watch allows me to leave my iPhone in my pocket when I just want to verify that it's OK to live my life as I choose to live it at this particular moment, and there's nothing going on in the world that can't wait until I've finished my constitutional.
The next step is obvious: a smooth, round, reassuring stone. Inside, there's a vibration motor, but no other outputs or inputs. A dead-simple app on my phone allows me to define the one and only one super-critical emergency circumstance under which this rock is allowed to buzz. So long as the stone is still and silent inside my pocket, I can continue sitting here on the beach, listening to the ocean and the wind, without the slightest concern that maybe I ought to check in with the grid and see what's what, just in case.
It's shaped like a stone because reaching into a pocket and feeling a small, smooth river rock is calming and reassuring. And ultimately, the goal is to attain such a serene and humble state of Let It Be that you eventually hurl it into the water, watching it skip and then sink to the bottom, where it hasn't the slightest chance of interrupting your enjoyment of the ocean and the wind.
It's an awesome idea for a Kickstarter project. The only hangup is that there's already a gadget called "Pebble" and the only smaller-sized rock word I can think of as a product name is "gravel," which hardly conveys an image of peace and serenity. Perhaps I should launch a Kickstarter to fund the research fees into a product name for my future Kickstarter. Is that even legal? Third Kickstarter to define the legal liabilities of the second Kickstarter?
I seem to have discovered a new economic concept that I shall term "Fractal funding." End of aside.
The CES presentation included a super-cool demonstration of Pebble's use as an action for the If This Then That web service. ITTT is a "glue" for dozens of different web services and Internet-enabled things. Migicovsky assembled an ITTT recipe that sent an alert to the Pebble whenever the Weather Service forecast snow for Las Vegas. But what if you're such a fan of Dick Cavett's sporadic New York Times online essays that you want to your watch to alert you the instant a new one is published? This sensible desire can be fulfilled with just a few clicks.
Realistically, perhaps you'd really rather have it buzz when your college-age daughter posts a photo to Facebook tagged "drunk." The point is that it's all up to you.
The Pebble watch is so exciting in part because the company seems to be defining its role in the Pebble community as "enablers" instead of as "wish-fulfillers." Expanding the features of the Pebble isn't limited by the company's resources; it's limited by the desire and interest of the community.
Most of the company's immediate efforts with Pebble 1.0 are invested toward making sure Pebble will still be a useful thing even if North Korean spies were to kidnap their entire engineering team and force them to build watches solely for Kim Jong-un from a secret lab above the 38th Parallel. Most of Pebble's future efforts are dedicated toward releasing a developer kit that will allow anyone to write native apps for the watch. As sort of a test of this project, the company will soon release a toolkit for the creation of custom watch designs.
The watch hardware itself is quite neat. Pebble is built around a 144x168 pixel black-and-white LCD. The e-paper technology means that it'll be perfectly readable even in bright sunlight. Developers will have quite a playground of sensors and hardware features to exploit, too. Pebble 1.0 has a Bluetooth 4.0 radio, a three-axis accelerometer, a digital compass and an ambient light sensor. It's water-resistant (you can even swim with it) and it'll run for a full week on one charge. It works with just about any iPhone or Android phone on the market.
Let's drift back down to earth. Who could fit a Pebble into their lifestyles, outside of that curious but useful fork of the human genomic code project known as "geeks"?
(Oh, shush. My blood type is "nerd-positive." I can say such things.)
Pebble has some fundamental problems. On a man's wrist, it's a big, attention-getting watch. On a woman's wrist, it's a bracelet; that's fine if you're cosplaying as Wonder Woman (just have your costume maker install a pair of standard 22mm watchband posts onto your Amazonian bracer) but otherwise? Quite problematic. The e-paper display draws little power, but even so, Pebble needs to be charged once a week. As much as I enjoyed wearing my iPod Nano as a watch, this was the dealbreaker. I'd forget, and then for that whole day I wouldn't have a wristwatch.
The average consumer will either instinctively like the idea of a smartphone-connected watch or they won't. If they're in the second category, can they be trained to integrate "check my wrist to receive messages" into their core behavioral programming?
And I hate to be the one who says this, but: Apple can punch several holes in Pebble's boat instantly by releasing a watch with even half of the Pebble's functions. A smartwatch does seem like a natural extension for iOS. It serves entertainment content, it's a natural fit for exercise apps, it makes many other Apple products more valuable, and it clicks right into Apple's affection for making technology more accessible and adaptable.
I don't think Apple will make a smartwatch, though. If they were even vaguely interested in such a product, wouldn't they have at least held on to the sixth-generation iPod Nano's wristwatch-style design?
Well. Fingers crossed on all of those things. I'm looking forward to receiving a Pebble for review.
Pebble, and the excitement that the company's CES press conference generated, demonstrates one of the anachronisms of the Consumer Electronics Show. A small startup has no shortage of resources for attracting funding, forging partnerships and building an audience. Before Pebble's staff had booked their flights to Las Vegas, they'd already done $10 million worth of business. They don't actually need CES, do they?
Shows are helpful because they put so many live bodies in the same place. You can meet with the press and prospective partners for the cost of a cab fare or a coffee. So CES will always be valuable.
Still, the second decade of the 21st century presents new opportunities for startups. The Pebble watch doesn't need to become a successful product on the same level as the iPhone. I'm reasonably sure the company would be pleased to move 5 million devices in one weekend (that is, until they were left with the problem of how to manufacture and ship them all before the lawsuits commenced). But Pebble can be successful the same way that Jonathan Coulton or the makers of any of a number of successful Kickstarter-backed games and web comics succeed. A community of 100,000 people who are absolutely bonkers-in-love with a product can make it just as profitable as a million people who only like the device.
Judging by the reaction to Wednesday's news, I'd say Pebble has a Bonkers audience. Unless the company screws up the 1.0 release, they'll have enough excitement and goodwill to do this again, and better...and hopefully to an even larger audience of consumers.

Fernando Alonso said the team was relieved to have emerged from Thursday's practice sessions virtually unscathed.
The track at Monaco is regarded by many as one of the more dangerous on the FIA schedule. Alonso admitted that anything could happen on this track, however, he embraced the challenge.
"It's always nice driving at Monaco, even if it's very demanding, because here more than anywhere, you need to do a lot of running to adapt to the track and, in more general terms, get used to a very special race," said Alonso on Thursday.
"I am pleased that we managed to get through all our planned programme today, which can't always be taken for granted here as anything can happen," added the Spaniard.
Alonso said it was still too early to determine how well he would do ahead of this weekend's race, as many of his opponents would have held back considerably on Thursday. He added that Saturday would probably be the most important litmus test for all the drivers.
"Even if the feelings are positive and we got through the day without any problems whatsoever, we still don't have a clear idea of the pecking order in the field," said Alonso.
"We will have to wait a bit to see where all our rivals really are, because here too, until Saturday, no one pushes a hundred percent: the barriers constitute too high a threat to take risks in the first free practice sessions," added the Ferrari driver.
Tyres have become a rather contentious issue during the 2013 season. Alonso explained that there had been nothing unexpected during Thursday's practice sessions.
"There's not much time to do a tyre comparison here, we did only one and the results didn't throw up any surprises: the Super Softs are a bit quicker and degrade more. All that remains now is to spend all the available time analysing the data we have gathered to try and find the best strategy for qualifying and the race."

You mention Syria as an example... how can Syria regime be compared with the USA at all?? The USA is a democracy ... If people disagree with some policy they are free to demonstrate and (more effectively) VOTE.
Then if the government decides to ignore polls and grasp power illegally it will only depend on whether the army is on their side or not, if it is then you as a civilian are fucked (when's the last time you had access to nuclear warheads?), if it isn't then, the army is the "militia" that will restore democracy and simple civilians need not be involved (in terms of weapons and battling that is).
At the time of the founding fathers, the difference in fire-power and scale between what weapons were available to a simple civilian and to the military was nowhere as big as it is today.
Sometimes, legislation needs a little reality check and upgrade.
Indeed no-one knows what will happen in the future, on the other hand we all can see what's happening NOW with guns available and spread in the civilian population.

- Nährstoffbilanzen (1) (remove)
- Plant Functional Traits and Ecosystem Functions in Experimental Grassland Stands (2005)
- Within the BMBF funded project BIOLOG-Bayreuth (01LC0014) investigations on implications of functional groups on ecosystem functions related to water- nutrient- and carbon cycle were carried out. Three experiments were conceived to test for implications of dominant species traits and phytodiversity on ecosystem functions. I Water, nutrient and DOC fluxes and losses from grasslands were investigated on Experimental Grassland Stands in lysimeters II Two dominant (P. lanceolata / H. lanatus) and two transient species (R. acris / A. odoratum), identified in Experimental Grassland Stands were used for the Rhizodeposit Experiment (RDE) to investigate implications of different Fe acquisition strategies on rhizodeposition of organic compounds in nutrient solution cultures. III The Root Mineralisation Experiment (RME) aimed at evaluating potential implications of the identity of rhizosphere microflora on mineralisation performance of root tissues from H. lanatus and R. acris derived from RDE. Root biomass for the RME was obtained from plants of the RDE Experimental Grassland Stands were sown in lysimeters (1.3×1.3×1.0 m) filled with 70 cm of sub- and 30 cm topsoil of tillered material derived from a Stagnic Cambisol. Precipitation was collected and soil solution was obtained at 15, 30 and 90 cm, seepage at 100 cm depth. KCl-extractable Nmin was determined in June and September. NH4, NO3, DON, DOC, K, Mg and Ca were measured in solution and nutrients in above- and belowground biomass. In Experimental Grassland Stands on lysimeter facilities, herb contribution to grassland stands rather than functional diversity showed implications on ecosystem functions such as nutrient use, use efficiencies, yields and loss with seepage. Differences in ecosystem performance were due to the identity of functional group of dominant and co dominant species (grass/herb). Positive relations between higher nutrient availability and WUEbm of both grass and herb species were indicated for experimental grassland stands. Grassland stands with higher herb contribution favoured a higher nutrient sequestration in biomass and thus played an important role for safety net functions in grassland ecosystems. Slightly higher Nmin concentrations in soil solution likely reflected higher root-turnover rates of grass dominated stands in 2002. Grass species showed higher base cation use efficiency and hence provided considerably growth under low cation supply. Grass dominated stands showed rather low performance in safety net functions for nutrients. Lower base cation yields in biomass of grass dominated stands were not automatically reflected by indicators for use of soil nutrients. In contrast to Nmin, base cation concentrations and losses with seepage did not reflect differences in base cation use by the grassland stands. In the RDE P. lanceolata was identified as a species featuring lower competition ability in concern of biomass building up and Fe acquisition (Cab; WILSON, 1988) under Fe deficiency compared to H. lanatus. For swards containing P. lanceolata complementary was found in concern of individual biomass production and individual Fe stocks. P. lanceolata gained lower biomass than the accompanying species. Inverted patterns of Fe acquisition ability and the ability to build up individual biomass, hint at a trade-off between Fe demand and biomass build up for P. lanceolata. DOC release to rhizodeposit solution was enhanced after the 1st harvest. P. lanceolata showed the highest release of DOC, a higher diversity of carboxylic acids as well as a considerable release of potential Fe chelators (malic, citric and malonic acid), while H. lanatus swards released only small amounts of carboxylic acids. Higher competition ability for species Fe contents after the 1st harvest indicated enhanced competition between P. lanceolata with A. odoratum. This finding was also reflected by higher DOC release and a higher release of potential Fe chelators in these swards. It was found that even transient grasslands species may show a high competition ability for Fe-acquisition under Fe-deficiency. During the RME, the basal respiration of the rhizosphere sand obtained from RDE differed only tendentiously due to its origin (H. lanatus, R. acris, diculture rhizosphere or Ref sand). H. lanatus root tissues increased respiration rates significantly during a 236 h incubation period to a four-fold of basal respiration whereas application of R. acris root tissues did not. Root tissue material was mineralised to the same extent as Corg material within the first 236 hrs. Since no differences of chemical parameters were found, for roots of the two species, enhanced mineralization of H. lanatus roots in the initial phase are likely due to lower root diameters and higher root surface areas.

It has been 16 years since the results of the landmark Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) were published. Despite its continuing legacy of proof that maintaining blood glucose levels as close to normal as possible reduces the risk of diabetes complications, today less than half of people with diabetes are reaching target blood glucose levels, according to most estimates. Health-care providers and researchers continue to struggle with how to improve those numbers.
Recalling the DCCT
Researchers began recruiting participants for the DCCT in 1983. They signed up 1,441 people with Type 1 diabetes, roughly half within five years of their diagnoses and the rest within 15 years of diagnosis. The subjects were randomly assigned to either conventional insulin treatment or intensive treatment. Those on intensive treatment took three or more insulin injections each day or used an insulin pump and monitored their blood glucose levels three or four times a day. The goal for the intensive treatment group was to keep their glycosolated hemoglobin, or HbA1c levels (a measure of blood glucose control over two to three months) at or below the top of the normal range: 6.05%. In actuality they achieved a median HbA1c of 7.2%. The study's subjects were followed for six and a half years, and the publication of the results in late 1993 changed the standards of Type 1 diabetes management forever.
The research team had hoped to be able to demonstrate a 30% to 40% reduction in complications among those on intensive treatment. What they actually saw was so significant that they ended the study early and advised the subjects on conventional treatment to switch to intensive treatment.
Those who were within five years of diagnosis and had been assigned to intensive treatment experienced a 76% reduction in the risk of diabetic retinopathy, or eye disease, a 34% reduction in the risk of microalbuminuria (an early stage of diabetic nephropathy, or kidney disease), and a 69% reduction in the risk of diabetic neuropathy, or nerve disease. Results for those within 15 years of diagnosis and on intensive treatment were less dramatic but still significant: a risk reduction of 54% for retinopathy, 43% for microalbuminuria, and 57% for neuropathy. In both groups there was a 41% reduction in the risk of cardiovascular disease.
The drawbacks for the intensive treatment group were a three-times higher incidence of severe hypoglycemia (very low blood glucose levels), and an average weight gain of 4.6 kilograms (about 10 pounds).
The study also answered the question of whether or not there is a point below which a lower HbA1c does not yield additional benefit. The answer was that there is no "glycemic threshold": The closer to normal the better.
The DCCT ended in 1993, but more than 1,370 of its subjects were then enrolled in a long-term follow-up study called Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications (EDIC). The news from EDIC in the past few years has been almost too good to be true: The benefit of intensive blood glucose management continues even after treatment becomes less monitored and less rigorous.

How's your weekend going so far? I signed my son Gavin up for Little League this week so he's had practice the last two days, and let me just say, it's been a learning curve for sure, both for Gavin and myself! I have come to realize that I really like to be in control and that I have to stop myself from telling him that he needs to listen to his coach and not goof off! lol He's learning that too, since yesterday he had to run a total of 7 times, 4 extra more then the other kids for goofing off and not listening. I hope that he will get it down. He's pretty good at hitting the ball, he just needs to keep his focus.
New Releases!!
This week I am releasing some new packs that coordinate with my Listen to Your Heart collection. I also have a mini bundle option as well as a mega collection option available as well I hope you like them. Also, I have a lovely freebie on my FB page as well

Fiber is a substance found in plants. Dietary fiber -- the kind you eat -- is found in fruits, vegetables, and grains. It is an important part of a healthy diet.
Diet - fiber; Roughage; Bulk
Dietary fiber adds bulk to your diet. Because it makes you feel full faster, it can be helpful in controlling weight. Fiber aids digestion, helps prevent constipation
, and is sometimes used for the treatment of diverticulosis
, diabetes
, and heart disease
There are two forms of fiber: soluble and insoluble.
Soluble fiber attracts water and turns to gel during digestion. This slows digestion. Soluble fiber is found in oat bran, barley, nuts, seeds, beans, lentils, peas, and some fruits and vegetables. Soluble fiber has been scientifically proven to lower cholesterol, which can help prevent heart disease.
Insoluble fiber is found in foods such as wheat bran, vegetables, and whole grains. It appears to speed the passage of foods through the stomach and intestines and adds bulk to the stool.
Eating a large amount of fiber in a short period of time can cause intestinal gas (flatulence
), bloating
, and abdominal cramps
. This usually goes away once the natural bacteria in the digestive system get used to the increase in fiber in the diet. Adding fiber gradually to the diet, instead of all at one time, can help reduce gas or diarrhea
Too much fiber may interfere with the absorption of minerals such as iron, zinc, magnesium, and calcium. However, this effect usually does not cause too much concern because high-fiber foods are typically rich in minerals.
The average American now eats 10 - 15 grams of fiber per day. The recommendation for older children, adolescents, and adults is 20 - 35 grams per day. Younger children will not be able to eat enough calories to achieve this, but it is a good idea to introduce whole grains, fresh fruits, and other high-fiber foods.
To ensure that you get enough fiber, eat a variety of foods, including:
Add fiber gradually over a period of a few weeks to avoid abdominal discomfort. Water aids the passage of fiber through the digestive system. Drink plenty of fluids (approximately 8 glasses of water or noncaloric fluid a day).
Peeling can reduce the amount of fiber in fruits and vegetables. Eating fiber-containing food is beneficial, whether it is cooked or raw.

GENEVA - The top United Nations human rights official accused Tunisia's security forces on Friday of using excessive force to quell a protest in an economically deprived region of the north African country.Navi Pillay, High Commissioner for Human Rights, said the authorities must stop using firearms against demonstrators in some of her harshest criticism of the Islamist-led government brought to power by an Arab Spring uprising last year.The tactics used to put down the protests this week have stirred anger among secular politicians in Tunisia, who say the new government is advocating the kind of harsh policing long employed by ousted autocrat Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali.More than 220 people are believed to have been injured when the demonstrators demanding jobs clashed with police on Tuesday and Wednesday in Siliana, a city on the edge of the Sahara whose inhabitants have long complained of neglect.
