After drugs and alcohol were ruled out in Jonathan Overfeld's case, he was referred to Dr Hans Markowitsch.
Dr Markowitsch's hypothesis is that memories, especially personal memories, come from two sources that need to synchronized with each other: "fact memory" (content) and "emotional memory" (evaluation).
When stressful situations and/or psychological trauma occur, the two systems can't synchronize. The emotional and factual memory systems become separated. That's why someone like Jonathan can remember what a chair is, but nothing about himself.
About a century ago, this phenomenon was called la belle indifférence – meaning that the patients face their memory loss indifferently. Most people can't bear the thought of losing their memory. But without the emotional content of their own memories accessible to them, amnesiacs like Jonathan tend to be somewhat apathetic about finding out more about themselves.
According to Dr Markowitsch, the brain doesn't forget. It keeps memories in drawers. In situations of danger or emotional distress, stress hormones can lock these drawers – sometimes forever. There's no telling when, or even if, they'll be re-activated.

– Following an MRI and a battery of tests on his left arm Monday, doctors confirmed to WWE.com that John Cena sustained multiple muscle strains during his Extreme Rules Match against Brock Lesnar. WWE locker room physician Dr. Chris Amann said Sunday night:
"The most obvious injury was the laceration to his head, which caused a substantial amount of bleeding. He also suffered a shoulder injury."
– According to the PWInsider, there are conflicting reports going around regarding the upcoming WWE Studios film The Marine 3: Homefront, and whether John Cena will be starring in the movie. At this time, nobody has signed on as the lead role. At one point, Cena was considered for the movie with the idea that he would pick back up where the first Marine movie left off. Randy Orton was then attached to the movie, but WWE pulled Orton from the movie due to Orton being kicked out of the Marines when he was younger and the Marines he served with complaining about a "deserter" portraying a Marine in WWE's movie. Other wrestlers under consideration for the lead role have included CM Punk, JTG, Cody Rhodes and a few others. WWE officials have reportedly decided on the Superstar who will appear in the movie but have been holding off on the announcement. Filming for The Marine 3: Homefront begins in June.
– According to F4WOnline, the general consensus backstage at Extreme Rules was that the show was a success and came off well on television. The CM Punk vs. Chris Jericho Chicago Street Fight and the Brock Lesnar vs. John Cena matches in particular received rave reviews. There was a lot of talk about Cena going over Lesnar in the main event, with many thinking that Brock Lesnar should not have lost his first match back in WWE. Lesnar is a very unique special attraction as a former UFC Heavyweight Champion and the argument against him losing to Cena is that now he could be perceived as "just another superstar." That said, WWE management loved the energy in the arena for the Lesnar vs. Cena match and it definitely came off like a special match. As for the CM Punk vs. Chris Jericho, it's expected that their feud will continue.
Speaking of Cena and Lesnar, the WWE website has an article up talking about how there is no "new face of WWE":
"While the world waits to learn the fate of John Cena, who alluded to possibly "going away for a while" in the aftermath of the brawl on pay-per-view, the WWE Universe takes solace in knowing there will be no "new face of WWE." On the contrary, in the fallout of Extreme Rules 2012, the face of WWE still features a tightly formed salute below the brim of a bright green hat. For now."
– Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson shot a fight scene with TNA Wrestling star Kurt Angle on Saturday for the upcoming 2013 black comedy film Pain & Gain. Johnson then tweeted a photo of himself with Angle and film director Michael Bay on Monday with the caption reading: "The Peoples Champ, The Maestro Michael Bay, The Olympic Gold Medalist."
– During an interview with The Fight Club Chicago in November, Randy Orton was asked about Brock Lesnar being showcased in THQ's WWE '12 video game.
"I think its great. I'm a big Lesnar fan and I've always been. We came up together about 10 years ago now. Me and him were buds. We've lost touch over the years as you usually do with guys like that, but I wish him the best.
"I know he's had a few health issues as of late. But, hell conquer those just like he's conquered every other obstacle that has come his way. I true l feel he's one of the few human beings I've ever met that have been able too accomplish as much as he's accomplished. He puts his mind, body and soul into it and he's gonna get it done."
– A teaser for the WWE Network is running at the beginning of WWE Classics On Demand shows with 2012 being advertised as its premiere.
– WWE.com has added "Ravishing" Rick Rude to their Alumni section. The profile includes photos and videos from his career in WWE and WCW.
– WWE Hall of Famer Edge will be unable to appear at RESISTANCE Pro's May 11th show due to filming commitments with the Syfy show Haven.
– Paulina Gretzky posted these fantastic pictures on Instagram. God Bless Wayne Gretzky.
– Blues' G Jarolslav Halak (left ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of the series. Head coach Ken Hithcock made the announcement following the Blues' 5-2 loss to the Kings in Game 2 on Monday night. Halak injured his left ankle in Game 2 of the San Jose series when he was run into by D Barrett Jackman. Halak skated with the team since suffering the injury.
– Jets' F Alexander Burmistrov's agent, Mark Gandler, said that his client is staying with the Winnipeg Jets despite a report that he's been offered a contract by the KHL's AK Bars Kazan. "We have no interest in making it happen. If people in Edmonton want to print gossip from the Russian papers without checking sources… all it takes is two minutes to make a phone call. They obviously didn't do their homework."
– The NBA has suspended Celtics' G Rajon Rondo 1 game for bumping into official Marc Davis in Game 1. Rondo will miss Tuesday's Game 2 against the Hawks. Rondo also got a two-game ban for throwing a ball at ref in late February.
– The Bobcats will not retain head coach Paul Silas for the 2012-13 season. Silas' first full season as head coach of the Bobcats was horrific–they went 7-59, posting the worst winning percentage (.106) in NBA history. Silas threw his players under the bus by complaining about the lack of talent he has to work with towards the end of the season.
– Knicks' F Amare Stoudemire (left hand) suffered lacerations after he punched a fire extinguisher case, and will see a specialist–he is not expected to play in Game 3 against the Heat. The specialist will determine whether or not there is ligament or tendon damage. Amare may have inflicted long-term damage to himself. Beat writer Frank Isola tweeted the following:
– Knicks' G Jeremy Lin (knee) won't play until he can take contact in practice. Head coach Mike Woodson said, "He's got to cut and guard people and push and do things of that nature, that's the big test."
– Lakers' F Jordan Hill has been charged with felony assault stemming from a February 29 incident in Houston. Hill allegedly choked a family member during an altercation. In Sunday's Game 1 win, Hill played 24 minutes as the primary big off the bench. The Houston district attorney's office said Hill faces 2-10 years in prison and a $10K fine.
– Check out Heat' G Dwyane Wade tossing Knicks' G Mike Bibby's lost shoe during Game 2 last night:
– Hulk Hogan was recently interviewed by the New York Post and said he plans to leave TNA if his new idea for Impact Wrestling does not work out:
"We are going to give more power to the fans, make them more involved and more important. I can't say much more, but I can say this, I'm either going to be really right on this one or really wrong. If I'm wrong, you probably won't see me again because I'll be hightailing it out of here."
Hogan also said that former WWE superstars John Morrison and Chris Masters have reached out to TNA hoping to get a shot at TNA's new "Gut Check" segment on Impact Wrestling.
– Nationals' RHP Brad Lidge (hernia) underwent successful surgery Tuesday morning. Lidge's agent Rex Gary said everything went "very well." Lidge is expected to resume throwing in roughly 3 weeks, but will likely need a rehab assignment following that.
– Twins' 1B Justin Morneau (sore left wrist) is flying back to Minnesota to be examined by Twins' hand specialist Dr. Tom Varecka. Morneau told reporters that he began feeling discomfort during a series against the Rays from April 20-22, but that it got worse over the weekend. He's hopeful that it's just scar tissue breaking up following surgery last September, but the Twins will likely send him for a precautionary MRI.
– Mets' LHP Mike Pelfrey (elbow) will undergo Tommy John surgery Tuesday. The decision was made official following a visit with Dr. James Andrews. Pelfrey will miss the rest of the 2012 season and will likely be non-tendered this offseason. His days with the Mets are likely over. The 2005 1st-round pick has a 4.36 ERA over 896 1/3 innings in the big leagues.
– Tigers' OF Delmon Young has suspended seven days without pay for the incident that occurred outside of the New York Hilton on April 27. The suspension is retroactive, so he'll be eligible to return to the lineup on Friday. Young was batting just .242/.311/.333 with one homer and five RBI through his first 18 games.
– Mariners' C Miguel Olivo (right groin strain) will be placed on the DL. Olivo left Monday's game against the Rays and told reporters that the injury is worse than the one he suffered during spring training last year.
– Padres' OF Carlos Quentin (right knee) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Tucson Tuesday. Manager Bud Black said Quentin will play at least seven games for Tucson before being activated. Quentin underwent arthroscopic surgery on March 19 to repair a torn meniscus in his knee.
– Barry Jackson and Manny Navarro of the Miami Herald report that Marlins' RHP Juan Carlos Oviedo will be suspended 8 weeks–not 6 weeks as originally reported–for using a fake identity. MLB originally planned to suspend him for 2 weeks of spring training and 6 weeks of the regular season, but because he missed all of spring training, he'll have to serve all 8 weeks during the season. Oviedo still hasn't received a visa to return to the United States, and the Marlins aren't sure when he'll get one. The suspension won't begin until then.
– Yankees' OF Nick Swisher (hamstring) is likely to miss a week, according to manager Joe Girardi. Swisher left Sunday's game with a low-grade left hamstring strain. He isn't expected back before next Tuesday.
– Yankees' OF Brett Gardner (elbow) took swings in the cage Monday as well as this past weekend. He's now scheduled to take regular batting practice on Tuesday. Barring any setbacks, he should return from the disabled list as soon as he's eligible Thursday.
– The Redskins have released WR Jabar Gaffney. Gaffney caught a career-high 68 passes for 947 yards and five touchdowns last season. After the Redskins spent almost $30M guaranteed to WRs Pierre Garcon and Josh Morgan, Gaffney became expendable. The Patriots were considered likely to be interested in Gaffney if he hit the open market, but that was before they re-signed Deion Branch and Chad Ochocinco, and signed Anthony Gonzalez and Donte' Stallworth. The 31-year-old has at least 50 catches each of the past three seasons.
– According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Browns have "no plans to deal" QB Colt McCoy "at this time." Per Schefter, the Browns are "not in trading mood," and the plan for now is apparently to let McCoy "compete" for the starting job with QB Brandon Weeden, who already appears to be the clear-cut favourite. McCoy has a 6-15 record, 20:20 TD-to-INT ratio, a 58.4% completion rate and paltry 6.3 YPA through two pro seasons.
– The NFL has granted the Falcons $3M in cap credits related to money Eagles' QB Michael Vick owed the franchise after declaring bankruptcy in 2009. As part of his bankruptcy settlement, Vick was ordered to pay back part of the signing bonus he received in 2004.
– Eagles GM Howie Roseman isn't planning to sign a veteran backup for RB LeSean McCoy. "We feel really good about that spot. That doesn't mean that if something was there that made sense we still wouldn't look to add there, but we feel really good about them." This comes a day after head coach Andy Reid said the team would try and reduce McCoy's workload. The Eagles have second-year pro Dion Lewis and rookies Bryce Brown and Chris Polk behind McCoy, but have no interest in re-signing free agent RB Ronnie Brown. Lewis is expected to begin the year as the backup.
– Lions' GM Martin Mayhew confirmed that No. 54 overall pick WR Ryan Broyles (ACL surgery) is a candidate to begin the year on PUP. "He's a possible PUP guy, but I think at some point during camp he'll be ready to go. The great thing with him is, we have the ability to take our time."

Illegal hunting trap suffocates retriever
Andrew, a 4-year-old golden retriever, died Wednesday night after being caught in an illegally set trap in Auburn. (COURTESY)
AUBURN -- New Hampshire Fish and Game is investigating an illegally set animal trap that killed a woman's dog on a well-used trail in Auburn Wednesday night.
Melissa Fogelson had been walking her 4-year-old golden retriever, Andrew, on a trail off Old Depot Road near Clark Pond in Auburn, using the trail because she believed it to be safe during hunting season, given the number of walkers and bikers who frequent it.
While on the trail, Andrew caught a whiff of something and ran over to inspect. What Fogelson didn't realize was that her dog was drawn to the bait on a lethal hunting trap.
The trap was a Conibear 220, an asphyxiating, "body-gripping" trap. It is nearly impossible to pull it open - and in fact harmful to the animal to force the trap open - particularly by one person. Instead, springs on opposite sides must be compressed and their safety hooks attached individually, a counterintuitive and difficult process even when not under stress.
"The more I looked at it the more I started to have a sense of what I might have to do, but I didn't have enough strength to do it," said Fogelson. "When I first looked at it I had no idea (what to do.) I tried - believe me, I was trying - but I couldn't get it off of him."
It took two police officers "with all of their strength" to remove the trap, she said.
The traps location and setting were illegal, officials said. Any trap over 6� inches wide must be set either 5 feet off the ground or under water. This trap was set on the ground.
"We have the laws in place for this exact reason," said Fish and Game Officer Chris McKee. "Any animal on the ground could've gotten into it, or person, or kid."
The trapper, whose name has not yet been released because the investigation is ongoing, is expected to be charged with trapping violations, which may lead to fines of up to $1,000, Fish and Game said. Fish and Game will also push for restitution for the dog owner.
The trapper, who has trapped in the past and took it up again recently, had taken the required courses and was aware of the laws, officials said. All of his traps in the area have since been taken down.
"I'm not really sure why he set it on the ground" said McKee. "He did what he did."
Auburn police Officer Anita Lombardo, who responded to the call, described the scene as horrible.
"I was thinking of a leg trap, like the bear trap you see in the movies," said Lombardo. "I was expecting to go out and find a panicking dog and panicking owner and together we'd get this dog out of the trap. I was not expecting what I saw. . When I went up, you couldn't even see where (the trap) was against his neck because it was so tight that it got lost in his fur. It was like a medieval torture device on this poor dog.
"When I went up the trail, I saw her sitting there, exhausted from carrying the dog from probably almost a mile out, just sobbing. . She just looked up at me and said 'I promised I would get him out.' . It was horrible. I couldn't even imagine what I would've done."
For Fogelson, who was not aware such traps existed and never anticipated to find one near such a busy area, public education on the devices and the laws "has to be" something that comes out of her story.
"Anybody could have landed in that trap," she said. "Kids, anybody else's dog, and truthfully no wild animal should die that way either. It was miserable. Supposedly they've found this guy and removed his traps, but that doesn't mean there isn't somebody else out there doing the same thing."
For now, Fogelson is just trying to make sense of what happened that night.
"I don't think I've hit anger yet. I think I'm getting there, but I still can't get over the shock and the surrealism and the fact that this even happened," she said. "All I keep seeing in my head is him being caught in the trap. I think I'm getting to anger, but I'm just heartbroken. He was my best friend, he was my kid, you know? He was just a four-year-old happy puppy playing in the woods."
This was first incident of its kind with body-gripping traps that McKee has encountered.
"The trapper is cooperating completely and fully, and is doing anything he possible can to help with us and the lady as well," he said.
McKee noted that the trapper hoped to eventually get in touch with Fogelson.

Kaleidescape Blu-ray player can copy HD movies for you
Here's a feature that Hollywood doesn't want to see become standard on Blu-ray players: the ability to copy HD movies from Blu-ray discs to your home server. But that's just what the new Kaleidescape M300 and M500 do. They'll import any Blu-ray, DVD or CD that you wish onto your server for playback later.
The catch? Well, there are two of them. The first is that it will require you to have the physical disc in the player to play back the ripped versions, which sort of defeats the entire purpose of ripping. The second is the price: the M330 will set you back $2,495 with the M500 running $3,995. Yeah, I think I'll stick to normal Blu-ray players, thanks.

Choosing to install thermal blinds is a perfect way to save energy and add to your home décor. By blocking out drafts in the winter and reflecting the sun in the summer thermal blinds help reduce your homes energy use. Heat loss in the winter can account for 50% of your homes heating cost. This is specifically helpful if the windows and doors are in need of replacement but you have a smaller budget for home improvements. They are also great in the summer months by blocking the harmful rays of the sun. This helps to protect furniture and other home accents from sun damage and fading; in return your rooms stay a more comfortable temperature year round.
There are many varieties and styles of thermal blinds available. They are constructed from layers of material pressed around a foil that reflects heat. It is this that helps to block out the sunlight and heat of the summer and block the drafts in the winter months. While each one contains a foil core there are many materials that can make the outside layers of each slat. They can be made from layers of wood, vinyl or even cloth material. With all of the choices of materials and colors available the options for your home décor are almost limitless. This makes thermal blinds an option for just about everyone to save money and energy.
Thermal Blinds for Energy Efficiency
Since thermal blinds are installed directly against a window they are considered the most energy efficient type of window treatment. However, there are other types of thermal window treatments available. A few of these are thermal curtains, insulated blinds and thermal roman shades. These are typically less expensive than thermal blinds but you may not get the same energy savings. Each type of window treatment has its advantages; the final decision depends on what will work the best in your home.
Do you live in a congested area or an area with a lot of outside noise or traffic? Thermal blinds can also help to block out annoying noise from outside your home or apartment. They help block these irritating noises the same way it does the sun or wind; being constructed with thick material that forms a buffer between inside and out.
Thermal Blinds Common Questions
Q: Do thermal blinds really help save on air conditioning costs in the summer? I live where it is extremely hot in the summer and am looking for ways to save on my electric bill.
A: If you keep the thermal blinds closed during the day, they can help reduce energy consumption. They help to block the sun and heat, in return the air conditioning may not have to run as much as if you only had regular blinds. Also, if the temperature drops at night, you can open the blinds and windows to let fresh air flow through.
Q: What is the best way to clean thermal blinds?
A: Typically dusting and light vacuuming is the best way to keep your thermal blinds clean. If you do this on a regular basis it will keep your blinds looking their best.
Q: I found a hole in one of my thermal blinds, should I try to repair it or just get a new blind?
A: It really depends on the size of the hole or tear. For a small size hole or tear you can probably fix it yourself, with the right materials. For larger holes you may need to replace it or contact a professional and have them repair it. It will probably come down to the price of the repair compared to the cost to replace the damaged one.
Q: I want to repair the hole in the blind myself, what are the materials needed and the steps to do it?
A: For a small hole or tear you can use strong thread and a needle to sew it back together. Use small stitches to avoid light being able to come through. Also, if you find that any of the reflective backing has come loose you can sew that back on. Now, if the hole or tear is too large to sew back together and you still want to try and fix it, you can patch it with thermal reflective tape. This approach can cost less than having a professional repair it or replace it.
Q: I like my thermal blinds but I feel like I want to add a little more style to my windows, will it look alright to add curtains?
A: You can certainly install curtains with your thermal blinds. Just be sure to have the curtain rod extend past the blinds to have them look the best. A decorative curtain rod and curtains of your choice can be a great way to accent your windows and keeping the thermal blinds helps block out the sun.
Q: I am looking to purchase thermal blinds, are there other benefits besides blocking the sun?
A: Yes, other benefits of thermal blinds include, blocking drafts in the winter months, so they can help with energy savings year round, especially on older windows. Thermal blinds can also act as a buffer to outside noise. They are constructed with a thick material that can help reduce noise from the outside.

People News
Anna Paquin's character cut from 'X-Men' film
By April Neale Dec 23, 2013, 19:46 GMT
Anna Paquin - 21st Annual Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party - Arrivals - Pacific Design Center - West Hollywood, CA, USA © David Gabber / PRPhotos.com
Anna Paquin's charater Rogue was deleted from the latest film, X-Men: Days of Future Past.
Paquin, who played Rogue in the original X-Men trilogy films, was snipped out of the sequel, director Bryan Singer revealed to Entertainment Weekly.
The Oscar-winning actress (The Piano), 31, shot a rescue sequence with Ian McKellan (Magneto), Patrick Stewart (Professor X) and Shawn Ashmore (Iceman) set to appear early on in the film.
"Through the editing process, the sequence became extraneous," Singer told EW. "It's a really good sequence and it will probably end up on the DVD so people can see it. But like many things in the editing process, it was an embarrassment of riches and it was just one of the things that had to go. Unfortunately, it was the one and only sequence Anna Paquin was in, the Rogue character was in. Even though she's in the materials and part of the process of making the film, she won't appear in it."
Singer praised her work: "She did a fantastic job. She was awesome in the sequence. She's a brilliant actress. I would work with her in a heartbeat."
"She (Paquin) completely understood," Singer said. "It's very disappointing, but she's very professional and she knows that stuff happens, particularly with material you shoot early on in production. Films evolve."
X-Men: Days of Future Past stars Jennifer Lawrence, Evan Peters, Nicholas Hoult, Hugh Jackman, Ellen Page, Peter Dinklage, Halle Berry and James McAvoy, and wil be next summer's big film.

Dr. Jessica Gosnell is a surgeon who specializes in treating endocrine glands, particularly the thyroid and parathyroid. She is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of General Surgery at the UCSF. In addition to her clinical, Dr. Gosnell is involved in several phase II clinical trials evaluating novel treatments for thyroid cancer.
Dr. Gosnell earned a medical degree at the University of Washington in Seattle and completed a residency in general surgery at UCSF, where she received the Hunicutt Resident Award for Excellence in Teaching for two years. She also received a Gastrointestinal Research Training Grant from the National Institutes of Health as a research fellow at San Francisco General Hospital and completed a fellowship in endocrine surgery at the University of Sydney in Australia.
Dr. Gosnell is one of the founding members of the General Surgery Hospitalist and Consult Service at the Parnassus Campus and pursues clinical and research interests in Endocrine Surgery. During her residence in General Surgery under the tutelage of Dr. Claude H. Organ, Dr. Gosnell received the Hunicutt Resident Award for Excellence in Teaching for two years. She was also awarded a National Institute of Health Gastrointestinal Research Training Grant, and published many peer-reviewed articles on the hepatic response to stress and gram negative septicemia during her two years at the San Francisco General laboratory. Highly respected by her peers, Dr. Gosnell was named to the list of U.S. News "Top Doctors," which denotes the top 10% of physicians within a region practicing a given specialty.
Dr. Gosnell was awarded an international fellowship as the TS Reeve Endocrine Surgery Fellow in Sydney, Australia, and directed the Endocrine Surgical program at the UCSF-San Mateo medical center section.
In its most recent survey, U.S. News in collaboration with Castle Connolly Medical Ltd. listed twenty-five (25) surgeons in the UCSF Department of Surgery, nearly one-third (1/3) of the clinical faculty, on the list of U.S. News "Top Doctors". The list, compiled from the opinion of colleagues, denotes the top 10% of physicians within a region practicing a given specialty. Fifteen of the 25 department surgeons were also named by their peers to the list of America's Top Doctors (ATD), a distinction reserved for the top 1% of physicians in the nation for that specialty. The listings are published online at U.S. News. The group rankings are intended to guide patients in selecting a doctor and physicians in making specialty referrals.
Orlo H. Clark, M.D., former Chief of Surgery at UCSF Mount Zion, and his surgical colleagues Quan-Yang Duh, M.D., Wen T. Shen, M.D., and Jessica Gosnell, M.D. are leading efforts to identify molecular markers in biopsy tissue as the number of thyroid cases continue rise in the U.S.

Red Wine: Is It Healthy?by Toby Amidor in Is It Healthy?, December 4, 2012
Red wine has been coined the good-for-you alcohol. My clients often tell me they choose red wine over other alcoholic beverages because it's good for their heart. Does red wine really provide this amazing-for-you benefit or is it an over-hyped health halo? Mull over the pros and cons.
The Dietary Guidelines for Americans say that if you would like to sip on alcohol, have a maximum of one drink per day for women and 2 drinks per day for men. When it comes to wine (red or white), one drink is equivalent to 5-fluid ounces of wine (or about 125 calories). For beer, one serving is 12-fluid ounces and hard alcohol it's 1½ -fluid ounces of an 80-proof liquor (like rum or vodka)—both range between 100-150 calories per serving.
For those looking to maintain or lose weight I often recommend sticking to wine because the calories are easier to control. Hard alcohol is typically used in mixed cocktails. The combo of multiple shots along with juice and/or other mixers can skyrocket calories in a flash.
Many folks choose red wine because of the health benefits. Studies have found the polyphenol antioxidant resveratrol found in red wine may help protect the lining of blood vessels in your heart.
Studies have also found that red wine may be linked to breast cancer prevention. A 2011 study published in the Journal of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology found that resveratrol help stop breast cancer cells from growing.
You can also find delicious bottles of red wine at a low cost. See our top 5 red wines for those on a budget.
Many red wines are made with sulfites to help prevent microbial growth and extend shelf life. Sulfites are also used to slow the oxidation process, which helps preserve flavors as wine ages. One in 100 people who have asthma are sensitive to sulfites. They can develop symptoms such as itchy skin, nausea, stomach cramps, diarrhea or difficulty breathing. The FDA requires that sulfites be listed on the label if used. Organic wines don't use sulfites, but are tougher to find and are usually more expensive.
Oftentimes folks hear a food or beverage is good for them and think more is better. This isn't the case with red wine (or most other foods for that matter). The reason the Dietary Guidelines for Americans has their recommendation of 1 to 2 drinks MAX per day is because drinking too much of any alcohol (including wine) can increase the risk of diseases such as cancer, osteoporosis, heart disease and obesity. It can also reduce fertility. Although a moderate amount can have wonderful benefits, too much can be detrimental.
The Verdict: Red wine is definitely on our healthy list, but just like in the story of Goldilocks, too little or too much won't do—you want it "just right" – or in this case, in moderation.
TELL US: Do you drink red wine?

Norway and the Oxford Hills community are located in the foothills of the White Mountains, 50 miles north of Portland. A permanent population of about 7,000 can nearly triple on a winter weekend when the Sunday River and Mount Abram ski areas are in full operation. Norway was once the "Snowshoe Capital of the World" becuase of the large number of snowshoes manufactured in the town. Now tourism is the major employer, both winter and summer.
There are numerous lakes in the area and excellent hiking locally and in the White Mountains . There are also a number of light industries, including shoe manufacturing, wood products, a woolen mill, a mobile home builder, and a comprehensive high school, which serves eight communities. The town hosts an annual sidewalk art show as well as a year round Art Center. Other than skiing and hiking residents of the area enjoy snowmobiling, fishing, boating, antiques shopping, and blueberry and apple picking.

Leadership is a two-way street, loyalty up and loyalty down. Respect for one's superiors; care for one's crew.Grace Murray Hopper
A lot of fantasy players feel now as though winning in their fantasy league is more important than what they will at times describe as their childlike loyalty to one team.Don Levy
Mere human beings can't afford to be fanatical about anything. Not even about justice or loyalty. The fanatic for justice ends by murdering a million helpless people to clear a space for his law-courts. If we are to survive on this planet, there must be compromises.Jameson, Storm
The scholar does not consider gold and jade to be precious treasures, but loyalty and good faith.Confucius
Unless you can find some sort of loyalty, you cannot find unity and peace in your active living.Josiah Royce
Loyalty to petrified opinion never yet broke a chain or freed a human soul.Mark Twain
Money may be the husk of many things but not the kernel. It brings you food, but not appetite; medicine, but not health; acquaintance, but not friends; servants, but not loyalty; days of joy, but not peace or happiness.Henrik Ibsen
Morale is the state of mind. It is steadfastness and courage and hope. It is confidence and zeal and loyalty. It is Član, esprit de corps and determination.George Marshall
Loyalty to petrified opinion never yet broke a chain or freed a human soul.Mark Twain
Independence - is loyalty to one's best self and principles, and this is often disloyalty to the general idols and fetishesMark Twain
The greater the loyalty of a group toward the group, the greater is the motivation among the members to achieve the goals of the group, and the greater the probability that the group will achieve its goals.Rensis Likert
We have absolutely abandoned any idea of nationalist loyalty. We are deliberately putting a world order before our loyalty to our own country.Clement Richard Attlee, 1st Earl Attlee
Beloved-of-the-Gods, King Piyadasi, conquered the Kalingas eight years after his coronation. One hundred and fifty thousand were deported, one hundred thousand were killed and many more died (from other causes). After the Kalingas had been conquered, Beloved-of-the-Gods came to feel a strong inclination towards the Dhamma, a love for the Dhamma and for instruction in Dhamma. Now Beloved-of-the-Gods feels deep remorse for having conquered the Kalingas. Indeed, Beloved-of-the-Gods is deeply pained by the killing, dying and deportation that take place when an unconquered country is conquered. But Beloved-of-the-Gods is pained even more by this that Brahmins, ascetics, and householders of different religions who live in those countries, and who are respectful to superiors, to mother and father, to elders, and who behave properly and have strong loyalty towards friends, acquaintances, companions, relatives, servants and employees that they are injured, killed or separated from their loved ones. Even those who are not affected (by all this) suffer when they see friends, acquaintances, companions and relatives affected. These misfortunes befall all (as a result of war), and this pains Beloved-of-the-Gods. There is no country, except among the Greeks, where these two groups, Brahmins and ascetics, are not found, and there is no country where people are not devoted to one or another religion. Therefore the killing, death or deportation of a hundredth, or even a thousandth part of those who died during the conquest of Kalinga now pains Beloved-of-the-Gods. Now Beloved-of-the-Gods thinks that even those who do wrong should be forgiven where forgiveness is possible.Ashoka the Great
Never be frightened! Be fearless! There is no room for fear. Fear is death, fear is sin, fear is hell, fear is adharma and fear is disloyalty. All delusions emanate from this evil called fear.Sant Sri Asaramji Bapu
The general election of 1983 has produced one important result that has passed virtually without comment in the media. It is that, for the first time since 1945, a political party with an openly socialist policy has received the support of over eight and a half million people. This is a remarkable development by any standards and it deserves some analysis ... the 1983 Labour manifesto commanded the loyalty of millions of voters and a democratic socialist bridge-head in public understanding and support can be made.Anthony Neil Wedgwood Benn
My kind of loyalty was loyalty to one's country, not to its institutions or its officeholders. The country is the real thing, the substantial thing, the eternal thing; it is the thing to watch over, and care for, and be loyal to; institutions are extraneous, they are its mere clothing, and clothing can wear out, become ragged, cease to be comfortable, cease to protect the body from winter, disease, and death.Samuel Langhorne Clemens

Ever since 2009—shortly after the housing market collapsed, the finance industry was shaken by its own recklessness, and the economy descended into recession—Hitendra Wadhwa has been teaching the wildly overenrolled course to the current and future elite of American business. The award-winning professor promises not how to make a living but how to live.
Mumbai-born, Bollywood-handsome, trained by spiritual gurus in India, as well as by management scholars at MIT, and experienced in American business, six-foot-four Wadhwa straddles two world views: "the material advancement America has been leading" and "the spiritual wealth that has existed in certain other cultures over time," especially in India. The two are not at odds with each other, he insists. "It's important to have both. One trains you on mastering your inner life, the other on mastering your outer life."

Here are my thoughts: For PPA, there was fruit and snacks and fluids at the top of the mountain (and for me, a saline IV and some O2). Then, there was a bunch of snacks/beverages at Glen Cove. In Manitou, 1 week after what is arguably the worst flood Manitou has ever seen, there was pizza, cookies, and soft drink. Unfortunately, the beer was nixed because of the flooding and movement of the food from the park to the City Hall. As far as I'm concerned, if you went away from the Ascent hungry, it wasn't for lack of food.
As for the aid stations, I take my own gels with me. I know what I like/tolerate, and I won't eat anything else. Most of the runners I know do the same thing. I need water or electrolyte drink at aid stations and that's all. If you want a smorgasbord, run Hardrock or Leadville. I've watched the volunteers stringing hoses and lugging hundreds of pounds of equipment and food down the mountain to the cirque and A-Frame aid stations. It's not for the faint of heart--they work their asses off. Some of the volunteers spend Friday and Saturday night on the mountain (and it gets freakin cold at 11500 at night!).
Finally, if this race doesnt float your boat, then dont sign up. These races fill up in days if not hours. If you dont run, someone else will surely take your spot. Are there things that can be done better? Sure. But given the circumstances leading up to the race, its amazing the event even occurred.

Ballena Nelle Announces 26% Discount For Turmeric Curcumin Promotion
Customers shopping on amazon.com can now purchase this all natural turmeric curcumin at a 26% discount from the regular price.
Turmeric is one of the most widely studied botanical substances for health benefits and has taken off in popularity here in North America in recent years. Researchers have documented its potent anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant qualities and are now studying it to determine its possible use in preventative cancer treatments . Naturopaths already widely recommend turmeric as a preventative measure for all cancers.
"You can't really overstate the health benefits to curcumin" said Peter Trendle, Marketing Director for Ballena Nelle. "There's no question it is an extremely powerful anti-inflammatory but science is also investigating its potential role as a cancer prevention strategy. It seems to inhibit many of the inflammatory pathways that lead to cancer."
Each bottle of Ballena Nelle turmeric contains 60 capsules of the highest quality curcumin complex, standardized to 95%. Curcumin is the active ingredient in turmeric providing all the health benefits, however makes up only about 3% of the root of the plant. "You really need to read the labels when choosing your brand" said Trendle. "Many turmeric supplements are not standardized to isolate and concentrate the curcumin and do not have the same health benefit."
The Ballena Nelle blend also contains white willow bark and boswellia, two natural ingredients with extremely effective anti-inflammation qualities. The company wanted to produce a supplement that delivers all the health benefits of curcumin, but also contained added anti-inflammation strength for natural pain relief.
"We believe this supplement is unique" said Trendle. "We've concentrated on providing real natural relief for people suffering from chronic pain issues like arthritis and joint problems but it's also got an added anti-oxidant blend so it's more powerful than just a standard turmeric supplement for overall health and anti-aging."
Since first introducing this supplement in January 2014 the company has received very positive reviews. These can be seen on the amazon product page at http://www.amazon.com/Ballena-Nelle-Turmeric-Curcumin-Boswellia/dp/B00FQ6PT4U/ie=UTF8?m=A3VS2VDF7UT6SX&keywords=turmeric+curcumin
Ballena Nelle is a company dedicated to providing quality nutritional supplements with real health benefits. Products are based on recommendations from a Naturopathic Advisory Board and are manufactured in a facility that is USDA inspected and GMP certified.

Toy Fair 2013: Over 100 Images from Convention Floor Including BATMAN, STAR WARS, REAL STEEL, SUPERMAN, Marvel, GODZILLA, IRON MAN, and More
by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub Posted 1 year, 312 days ago
If you're a toy collector, you've likely had a great past few days. That's because every February at Toy Fair in NYC, all the toy manufactures show off tons of upcoming toys and many are being revealed for the first time. Over the past 24 hours we've posted a ton of them broken down by manufacturer, and we're not close to being done. However, due to how many we've yet to post, I'm going to take a group approach to this article.
As you can see after the jump, we've got over 100 pictures from the convention floor and you can check out some of the new toys for Iron Man (and Iron Man 3), The Walking Dead, Batman, The Dark Knight, Star Wars, DC Justice, Real Steel, Marvel Selects, Resident Evil, Arkham City, Star Trek, Superman, Thor, Wonder Woman, Tom Cruise from Mission Impossible, and much more.
