I've read about the FDA testing the effect of caffeine on laboratory mice, but that won't help us here. Adjusting the speed of your mouse pointer and buttons can help liven up your mouse.

When open, the phone reveals the keypad and the navigational controls. The navigational controls consist of two soft keys, a four-way navigation toggle, and a middle OK key marked with the Helio logo. The toggle acts as a shortcut to the browser, applications, video and music, text messaging, and the Helio on Top service. Below these controls are the Send and power/End keys, followed by a voice-recorder button and a Back button. The numeric keypad is arranged in a grid, and all buttons yielded easily to pressure and were textured enough to navigate and dial by feel. The user interface is exactly the same as the Hero's, and you can read more about it in our review.
The Kickflip's feature set is also very similar to that of the Hero. You get a 2-megapixel camera with flash, the wireless browser, a music player, a voice recorder, a speakerphone, vibrate mode, EV-DO support, and a video player and recorder. The address book can hold as many as 1,200 contacts (compared to the Hero's 500), each of which can accommodate five numbers, two e-mail addresses, a birthday, an anniversary date, a memo, and photo caller ID. You can also organize your contacts into groups and assign them with one of 21 polyphonic ring tones. There are the usual text- and multimedia-messaging features, but sadly, the phone doesn't support instant messaging--a huge oversight for a phone designed for the younger crowd. Rounding out the features are e-mail, a calendar, an alarm, a calculator, world time, and a notepad. Like the Hero, the Kickflip doesn't have Bluetooth, which we found similarly disappointing.
If you wish to learn more about the MySpace Mobile integration, the Helio on Top news aggregator, and the music and video player, please read our review of the Helio Hero for details on these features.
The Kickflip's 2-megapixel camera comes with a slew of settings. There are six available resolutions (1,600x1,200, 1,280x960, 800x600, 640x480, 320x240, and 240x320), four quality settings (Normal, Small, Superfine, Fine), up to 5X zoom, and a series or multishot setting for up to nine consecutive snaps. You can spruce up your shots with 10 different photo "stickers," 10 brightness settings, six light settings, six capture modes, 14 photo effects, and the ability to rotate the photos. You can also choose between two shutter sounds, though you can't disable it. The camera produced decent snapshots, but we couldn't say the same about the disappointingly low 176x144 resolution on the video recorder.
Like the Hero, the Kickflip has a long list of personalization options. You can change the wallpaper, the screensaver, the ring tones, the graphics, the menu styles, and so forth. You also have the choice of downloading additional ring tones and games from the Helio store. There are two games included with the phone--Hello CAT and a demo of MidnightPool3D--and you can always download more.
We tested the dual-band (CDMA 800/1900; EV-DO) Kickflip in San Francisco using Helio's service. We found the call quality to be subpar, especially in our office building, where there was a lot of electronic equipment that caused quite a bit of interference. Callers could hardly hear us at times, and though we could hear them, there was a lot of static during calls. When making calls from a more isolated location, the quality was a little better, but callers still had problems hearing us. The Kickflip's speakerphone quality was similarly dismal, and music playback sounded tinny. The Kickflip comes with a wired headset that doubles as a set of earbuds for the phone's music player functions. Downloading files was fast enough, though we experienced the occasional lag.
The Helio Kickflip has a rated talk time of around 3 hours and a rated standby time of up to eight days; our tests showed a talk time of 3 hours, 10 minutes and a standby time of eight days. According to FCC radiation tests, the Helio Kickflip has a digital SAR rating of 0.86 watt per kilogram.

Energy Savings Made Easy For Homeowners With Owens Corning™ Certified Energy Expert® Professionals
TOLEDO, Ohio, Sept. 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Owens Corning (NYSE: OC) has trained an exclusive group of energy specialists who are now uniquely qualified to help homeowners reduce home energy costs. Homeowners can now turn to the elite members of Owens Corning™ Certified Energy Expert® (CEE) program for professional help to improve the energy efficiency of their homes and ultimately save* on energy bills throughout the year.
With a staggering 45 million U.S. homes estimated to be under-insulated according to Harvard School of Public Health,[1] widespread energy loss and increased energy costs are impacting homeowners across the country. Homes built before 1980 are contributing to this problem, as they typically are under-insulated compared to today's energy-efficient attic standards. Since the ceiling or attic of a house can account for up to 20 to 30 percent[2] of a home's heat loss or gain, this means a lot of money is literally going through the roof.
"To help homeowners save money, reduce energy costs and improve the overall comfort and performance of the home, Owens Corning has trained an elite group of energy specialists across the country as part of our Certified Energy Expert® program," said Mike Swift, Vice President, Sales, ICD, Owens Corning. "From new construction to retrofit applications on existing homes, the Owens Corning Certified Energy Expert® (CEE) members are truly qualified building science experts who can help homeowners achieve an energy efficient home with proper insulation and air sealing."
Steps Today to Start Saving TomorrowIn this challenging economy, every opportunity to save money counts. Unless a home was specially constructed for energy efficiency, the U.S. Department of Energy office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) notes that homeowners can typically reduce energy bills by adding more insulation. However, because every home is different, there is no one-size fits all solution to address under-insulated homes.

|Hi. I have 3 Forsythias. Last year they had spectacular blooms all over, and last summer they grew almost 4 feet. They look robust and healthy. They have HUGE buds all over them ready to explode, but they just aren't blooming.
Each shrub, last week, only bloomed on a couple of branches, at the most, and it's only at the very bottom of them.
I've noticed around my area that Forsythias aren't blooming. In fact, I'm one of the few that even had a couple of branches bloom.
Does that mean the shrubs are dead? We had a bitter cold winter with 2 blizzards and almost 300 inches of snow, could that kill them? If they are dead why do the buds look so good?

|There are many varieties of forsythia and some are much hardier than others. The flower buds on the lowest branches were protected by the snow so they bloomed. The others were exposed to the deep cold of the past winter and were killed. The plants themselves are probably fine and will grow normally this summer and set flower buds for next year.

|buds were set last fall ...
you could have cut them in mid winter.. and forced bloom indoors.. i recall suggesting such to you ... did you?? .. because it might tell us if there were viable buds set
otherwise.. spring frost or freeze can kill the flower buds ... but not the plant ...
mine .. in my z5.. arent even close to blooming yet.. are you sure its a fail ..??? ... if you are going by last years journal ... we should have to tell you.. this year.. is not last year ...
hyperfertilization high in nitro can also reduce bloom ... 4 feet is a lot of growth.. even for a F

|Good morning!
I attached a picture of one of the shrubs, I don't know if it'll help or not, but it will show the bottom, where on one side, it bloomed.
I fertilized twice, once at the time of planting, and then once a couple weeks later like the directions said, and that was it. I used Miracle-Gro Liquid Quick Start.
I am so glad that if the flower buds are damaged that at least the leaf buds will be okay. These are Lynwood Gold Forsythias.
I am dying to cut a small piece off to see if it will bloom, but if it's already under stress, I don't want to push it over the edge.
P.S Please excuse all the rocks, the rocks outside the fence were for vole protection (which was useless for our Burning Bushes) and the rocks around the shrub were for mulch. We're going to be clearing out all the rocks and putting in cedar mulch, once we get a day warmer than 50 degrees on the weekend..
- Posted by mad_gallica Z5 Eastern NY (My Page) on Sat, Apr 26, 14 at 10:40
|What do you mean by 'bitterly cold'? Lynwood Gold flower buds are killed at about -15F. Snow can insulate them very well, so the blizzards and the snow are good things. We've had winters where the bottom 18 inches of forsythia were in full bloom, but nothing higher up because the exposed flower buds were killed off. A hedge of that is very strange looking.
Regarding your forsythia, it looks more to me like that one branch is blooming unnaturally early for some reason. Sometimes flowers will open in fall, or during a winter thaw, so it happens. Only time will tell if the rest of it will bloom this year. Here, the only forsythia that is blooming is mine. It's a different type that is hardier and blooms earlier.
|I had Lynwood Gold for 20 years in zone 5A and I don't remember that it ever missed a year of bloom. I even had -20F lows several times. Can't recall though if there was snowcover protection at those times.
Those buds look beefy. If it were me and I couldn't tell if the buds were good or not, I would snip off a branch and probe. If the bud is dead, it will fall off easily and be brown and dried up. You can also scrape with your fingernail to see whats going on.
Here in 5B (I moved last year from 5A to 5B), forsythia are starting to bloom.
|Those Forsythias don't look under any kind of stress from what I can see. They would not be harmed by cutting a twig to put in water. Or if you rub a flower bud it will crumble and fall off if it is really dead. A close up would confirm it but the buds look fine as far as I can tell from the picture. I'd just wait and be patient. If you're itching to do something active for them you could pull out the couch grass which is beginning to get entangled with the base of the shrubs.

Antec Three Hundred Two review
The Antec Three Hundred Two is the successor to the original Three Hundred case, designed for gamers. It looks similar, which is no bad thing, as it's an attractive case. Its whole front is a mesh grille, bar the 5.25in drive bays and the small front panel, which houses two USB3 ports, headphone output and microphone input.
The grille allows more air to pass through the case, which should help with cooling, while a secondary internal grille inside the case helps block dust intake. There's also a removable PSU air filter underneath the case on the side that you can take out and clean at regular intervals to improve airflow and keep you components clean.
It comes with two integrated fans on the top (140mm) and rear (120mm). We found them quiet and unobtrusive and their size means they should shift a decent amount of air. There are also an additional four 120mm fan mounts if you want to add more cooling. This is particularly useful if you're planning on overclocking your PC.
Inside, there's room for graphics cards up to 318mm long and even cards this big won't block any of the six 3.5in drive bays, as hard disks are now mounted perpendicular to the motherboard. The three tool-less 5.25in drive bays were a bit of a tight fit, but the plastic grips were firm and secure once they were clipped into place.
We weren't too impressed with its overall build quality. Its side panels were quite flexible, and its thin steel body showed a lot of flex as well. You shouldn't cut yourself, though, as all its edges are all rolled.
There's a lot to like about the Antec Three Hundred Two, but the similarly-priced Corsair Carbide 200R has more room inside.

"My 5-year-old daughter chose this card to give to her Pre-K classmates. It turned out perfectly and she loved the cards!"
"This is an adorable and different valentine card for little girls..not your run-of-the-mill card..My daughter Loves it!!"
"It is usually so hard to find an appropriate Valentine's Day card for little boys to give out..but this one is PERFECT!!"
"Such a cute design... the form factor is small and adorable, perfect for a valentine. Loved how we could personalize the photo and the name. Quick service, great quality. Fourth time getting these kids valentines and not disappointed. Will order again!"
"We ordered for my daughter's 1st grade classroom valentine exchange. These were cute and fun and the kids loved them. They are smaller than I expected, but a great size. I will have 2 in school next year and plan to order these again."

The New "Guy"
My beloved fathers in christ:
His Holliness Pope Tawadros the second
My beloved father the locum tenen His Emminence Metropolitan Bachomius,
My beloved fathers the Metropolitans and Bishops of the holy synod of the coptic orthodox church,
My fathers the Hegumens and priests,
I thank you once again for the oppertunity to return back to my beloved website "tasbeha.org" and engage in conversations concerning the spiritual needs of the chuch as well as theological topics. These past few monthes have been tough on me and it has been a time of deep contemplations, for all the statements that I have written prior to the date of September 29,2012, were my rights from tasbeha.org were rovoked.
I must apologize to my beloved brother (Ogounastous or Subdeacon) Peter_Saad for the vulgar language that I have used with him.I must apologize to all of you for the times I may have hurt your feelings. I also want to apologize to His Grace Bishop David (secreteral vicar ecxarachal of His Holliness Pope Tawadros the second), for some posts that i have posted, and Father Pishoy Salama.
Please pray for me, as I once again resume to the site as a newbie.
God bless you all, and glory be to God forever amen.

- Haiti: Help Women's Leadership Rise
The Way Forward: Learning from Disaster
"We need education in our country, but that has to include civic education, says Soeurette Policar of Lig Pouvwa Fanm, reviewing the road ahead for Haitian women. "It's not enough to have schools everywhere for children; you need to educate people about how to live with someone, how to protect the environment, how to communicate with others. We need that type of education in Haiti."
For leaders like her, adult and rural education tops the to-do list for adult women and those in rural areas. They are looking at the lessons from post-conflict countries like Liberia and Rwanda who are integrating peacemaking and sexual violence into school-based education and targeting men and boys for social reeducation, too.
In war-ravaged Liberia, President Sirleaf Johnson's first bold steps included focusing on sexual violence, adult education, and on small-scale women entrepreneurs as critical targets of post-disaster recovery. Her government established women-led informal markets and a Liberia Market Women's Fund, backed by high-powered African and American women, to help women get what Haitians call ti kredi—a little credit. Sharing her success and lessons at the Clinton power-fest, Johnson touched on steps Haiti could take. They include organizing women into effective trade organizations, and helping women farmers have a greater voice and vote in agrarian kombits—rural work cooperatives.
Other economic steps that could help: savings accounts geared toward girls and programs of financial literacy such as those being done by Banco ADOPE, a microfinance institution in the neighboring Dominican Republic. Another is to allocate business profits to deal with short-term emergencies, this one cited by co-authors Isabel Coleman and Mary Ellen Iskenderian, in an article about "Putting Women at the Center of Building Back Better in Haiti," that was published in the journal Innovations for the 2010 Clinton Global Initiative meeting in New York. It highlights highlight case studies and strategies to rebuild Haiti.
Others urge the government and private groups to recruit and train more women for arriving reconstruction jobs. Women held 40% of the post-quake Cash for Work jobs in Haiti—a promising figure. What about paying women in camps to do childcare and work as teachers, to be trained as lay midwives, trauma, and rape counselors? What about helping more women learn to retrofit their houses and secure non-traditional jobs, working in recycling and renewable energy—a goal of groups like Architects for Humanity, Build Change, and others now in Haiti?
If Mme. Manigat wins in November and helps push through a reform of paternity laws with more women in Congress, this could help pave the way for joint land titling (registering property in both a husband and wife's name)—a critical step on the women's agenda now. This was a successful post-tsunami step that World Vision helped implement in Aceh, Indonesia. If Haiti reformed its inheritance laws (like Rwanda, Liberia, and recently, Kenya), daughters would inherit equally as their brothers. That could help many orphaned girls now. Such stepping-stones offer real bricks for women and girls to rebuild not only their own lives, but Haitian society.
On the security front, Liberia offers another model. UN reports showing that after an influx of female peacekeepers, only 18 peacekeepers were accused of sexual abuse in Liberia. That's one reason UN MINUSTAH officials brought in a 160-member Bangladeshi women peacekeeping unit to beef up security in Haiti's camps. But since neither they nor Brazilian MINUSTAH forces speak Creole, there's been a limited opportunity for sharing lessons with Haitian women leaders or those managing tent cities. Training Haitian women and men to protect their own citizens might yield better results. More women have been recruited into Haiti's police force post-quake – a positive step.
Another big one would be to push Haiti's next president—man or woman—to mobilize Haitian men and male leaders to become engaged leaders in a national fight against rape. Who better than a global superstar rapper and youth leader like Wyclef Jean, revered by Haitian teenage boys? He'd find good company in global leaders like Stephen Lewis, who helped spearhead creation of UN Women, after witnessing close up a decade of war-rape in Africa. Or Ashton and Demi, who launched their 'Real Men Don't Buy Women' campaign against sexual slavery at the Clinton meeting. Or celebrities like Sean Penn, who's taken over running of a major camp in Haiti. Most important are the many Haitian fathers and male relatives who are heartsick about failing to protect their female loved ones from rape by armed gang members.
On the health front, the opportunities to hire and train ordinary women are plentiful, including as midwives, peer counselors, health educators, and health professionals. With 40% of women of childbearing age lacking contraception in Haiti, the highest fertility rate in the region (4.7 children per women on average) and rising cases of forced pregnancies from rape, the demand is there. That includes hiring young women to be youth educators and help run teen girl support groups. All are examples of what Haiti needs and could do now.

Funeral services for Maurine Blair Jones, 86, of Sweetwater, will be held at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 10, 2011, at McCoy Chapel of Memories with Rev. Phillip Thomas officiating. Interment will follow at Garden of Memories Cemetery under the direction of McCoy Funeral Home.
Jones died Wednesday, Sept. 7, 2011, at her place of residence. She was married to Zane E. Jones on June 30, 1949, at Seymour, Texas.
The Sweetwater High School volleyball team has been pretty good at winning on the road this season. It's a good thing, because prior to Tuesday, the Lady Mustangs hadn't played in their gym since their season opener on Aug. 9.
As a result the team, according to coach Liz Miller, had a small case of nerves going into its match with Lamesa and she wasn't sure what to expect.
But the result was just fine as Sweetwater (13-11) had a straight-set victory, winning by scores of 25-15, 25-18, 25-19 at Mustang Gym to stay above .500 this season.
Where were you 10 years ago on Tuesday, September 11, 2001?
Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com or write to us at 112 W. 3rd Street, P.O. Box 750, Sweetwater, TX 79556. Share your reactions from a decade ago when you first learned about the terrorist attacks.
We will publish your comments and reflections in the Sweetwater Reporter for our special page commemorating the 9/11 anniversary.
Please include contact information and include "9/11" in the email subject line. Stories will proofed for grammar, punctuation, etc. before publication.
September is National Cholesterol Education Month and to acknowledge this occasion Rolling Plains Memorial Hospital Lab will be at the Sweetwater-Nolan County Health Department (SNCHD), located at 301 E. 12th, on Thursday, Sept. 15 from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. to offer free cholesterol screening.
Road construction on SEED's (Sweetwater Enterprise for Economic Development) 88 acre industrial park located on I-20 at the western entrance to Sweetwater began recently. In the last two years, SEED has added water, sewer, and 3-phase electricity to the park. To make it "shovel ready," a term used in the economic development industry to mean "ready to build," the SEED Board of Directors decided to take bids on constructing an 850' road with a cul-de-sac turn around. The bid was accepted in July and the picture is the beginning of the road construction.
Texas motorists may notice some changes to speed limit signs in the next several months, as new laws regulating speed limits on the roadways of the state highway system begin to take effect.
Mary E. Castillo, age 79, of Sweetwater, Texas passed away on Saturday, Sept. 3, 2011 at her residence.Â
Funeral services were held at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 4, 2011, at Cate-Spencer & Trent Funeral Home Chapel with Rev. Frankie Santiago officiating. Burial followed at Sweetwater Cemetery. Arrangements were under the direction of Cate-Spencer & Trent Funeral Home.Â
Tula Mae Pinkard, 95, beloved sister and aunt, died on Monday, Sept. 5, 2011, in Sweetwater, Texas as a result of a massive stroke suffered on Aug. 7, 2011. She was born on Jan. 24, 1916, in Rosebud, Texas and lived much of her life in Sweetwater. On Aug. 31, 1941, she married Harl W. Pinkard in Fort Worth, Texas.
Fern "GG" Roberts, age 87, of Eastland, passed away Friday Sept. 2, 2011, at her home. Funeral services were held Monday at 11 a.m. at the Daugherty St. Church of Christ in Eastland with Grandsons Steven and Todd Roberts and Keith Hudgins officiating.
Graveside services will be held Tuesday at 1 p.m. at the Lamesa Memorial Cemetery in Lamesa with Mark Hackett officiating.
Fern was born on Nov. 8, 1923, in Point, Texas, the daughter of the late Clarence and Ruth Barrett Strickland. She married Hilburn Roberts on Dec. 19, 1940, in Lamesa. He preceded her in death on Aug. 11, 2009.
Though he wasn't a one-man team, Rotan's Bryson Alls certainly did everything he could to help his team beat Ranger here Saturday.
Alls had three intercep-tions, including one with 10 seconds left that thwarted the Bulldogs' final drive, plus a fumble recovery and also rushed for 84 yards in leading the Yellowhammers to a 26-20 victory in the finale of the seventh annual Sammy Baugh Classic.

For Immediate Release:
May 7, 2012 – (Burbank, CA) – Built to Spill have announced that they will extend their current summer tour into the fall with dates scheduled around the recording of a new studio album that will be released by Warner Bros. Records next year.
In addition to previously announced dates in June, including the Governors Ball Music Festival at Randall's Island in New York, Built to Spill will also appear at the High Sierra Music Festival in July, followed by a series of headlining shows beginning at the end of August and continuing through September.
Built to Spill released their most recent album, There Is No Enemy, in October 2009. It was the band's first album since 2006's You In Reverse. Previous studio albums include 2001's Ancient Melodies of the Future, 1999's Keep It Like A Secret, and their major-label debut, 1997's Perfect From Now On. In 2012 Built to Spill still remain an influential force in compositionally intelligent, lyrically thoughtful, melodic, guitar-centric rock music:
"Built To Spill CEO Doug Martsch is alt-rock's Thomas Pynchon, holed up in a remote studio and issuing immaculate artworks when he damn well pleases. Their components are all about simple, melodic beauty, writ large – prog rock for pop purists." – Rolling Stone
"Boise's answer to Crazy Horse…they still flourish." – Spin
"Built To Spill has been leading the resurgence of indie-guitar rock virtuoso for 20 years now. Doug Martsch conducts an orchestra of feedback like a lightning god bringing the storm. As ever, Martsch proves capable of anthropomorphizing a bent string and imbuing it with more emotion than many bands' vocals and lyrics." -Alternative Press
Built to Spill's upcoming tour dates are as follows:
06/22 Boston, MA Paradise
06/23 Philadelphia, PA Union Transfer
06/24 New York, NY Governors Ball Music Festival @ Randall's Island

One Week With Whistle's New Activity Tracker For Dogs
Considering we humans now have a slew of gadgets, apps and products at our disposal that allow us to track and monitor our health and daily activity, it was only a matter of time before our best friends got one of their own. Last summer, we introduced you to Whistle, a newly-launched startup on a mission to bring Fitbit-style activity trackers to the wagging tails of the canine community. Read More

Yes, it's become exceedingly clear that the Internet has entered into a prodigious, lascivious (and hilarious) relationship with cats. But, at the end of the day, when it comes to the title of "Man/Woman/Child's Best Friend," it's the friendly neighborhood pooch that takes the cake.

HealthCare Social Media: Social Networks Lead to Innovation and Quality
I have spent the better part of the past year describing within the posts on this blog how we should be thinking beyond social media to understand the value of the connections. I have suggested that we should think about how the social graph that new technologies enable may be used to our benefit – and to the benefit of our meetings, our education, or even the care we may provide as clinicians. It is the emerging social network that is the real value proposition in social media.
Throughout my writings I have tried to be clear that my hypothesis is not grounded in obvious evidence, but that the pieces of evidence can be strung together if you look hard enough and in enough places. I believe that when the science of social networks is understood and when it is blended with the science of behavior change then almost anything is possible – I believe it, though the prior evidence may seem to some to be paper-thin. As a scientist it is critical that I acknowledge the limitations of my hypotheses.
However, in the past few months three data sets have been published that should be taken as the definitive answer to the question: What is the value of social networks on healthcare and healthcare education? Here are some highlights to make the case:
Perception = reality: In our recent paper in JMIR, more than 60% of physicians using social media as an element of their lifelong learning felt that their social media engagement improved their professional productivity and improved the care they provide to their patients.
Location = innovation: In a separate paper in Academic Medicine, while traditional Train-the-Trainer courses caused faculty members to believe they are more innovative, in reality it is the shape and structure of a faculty member's social graph that ultimately determined their degree of innovation.
Structure = healthcare quality: In a third paper in Medical Care, 1 standard deviation (SD) in the median number of connections per physician (network redundancy) was associated with a 17.8% increase in total spending, in addition to 17.4% more hospital days, and 23.8% more physician visits.
So there you have it – physicians think social media makes them better docs. In reality, it is their place within their social networks that help them innovate. And, the end result is that a better structured social network improves healthcare quality and decreases healthcare costs (by nearly 20%).
So the next time someone tells you that social media as a waste of time, tell them that while the media themselves may seem unnatural at first, the networks they enable may very well be the secret to innovation and our long-term professional success.
Or just tell them to come talk to me…

Peter Attia's TEDMED Talk
I'm sorry if someone posted about this already, but if you haven't seen this TED Talk, you'll be awestruck. Do a search and watch it--15 minutes of your life well spent. Make sure you have tissues handy.
Peter Attia and Gary Taubes are the founders of NuSi, which endeavors to do rigorous, evidence based scientific study of metabolic nutrition.
Thanks, I'll watch when I get home tonight. I love TED talks.
This is very touching. I hope it gets people's attention!
I have to say I was disappointed in his presentation of the "what if obesity is only a proxy" argument. I TOTALLY agree with this, and yet I didn't think his logic held up very well. I hope the other doctors don't feel that way.
What disappointed you?
I was definitely IR long before I was obese. I was a very skinny, underweight child, thin young woman, and I had the worst hypoglycemia all along. My diet was terrible, I was so thin everyone used to feed me sweets because it looked like I could eat anything. My metabolism was a mess, I had PCOS, too. (weight didn't come on until my mid-30's after my first child).
Doctors look at me and respond to me very differently now that I'm an obese woman instead of a thin woman with the EXACT same issues. I hear and see them say and think "if you'd only lose weight . . ." I want to scream at them that I used to be thin and have these problems too, but they'd never even believe me.
It's nice to see someone like Attia --who can come off as pretty arrogant--"getting" it.
I have to say that as of a week ago I had never heard of this guy.... Now I have watched a few videos, and done some basic reading on him.... and I really like this guy. And I believe him. I just watched the TED TALK, and I was fascinated and emotionally moved. I sure hope he is right, as I am pretty much aligning myself with his way of thinking.
Thanks! I'll watch it.
Thank you for posting this. I watched TEDMED then searched Dr Attia on YouTube. I enjoyed the videos very much. I have not heard of him before and hope more people in the health care system get on board. Thankfully, my Internal Medicine MD is completely behind me and encourages me with this WOE.
Peter has a blog, but it's deep, DEEP science. Sometimes I get lost in what he's saying--there's a FIFTEEN part series on cholesterol (Straight Dope on Cholesterol) and he never quite concludes it with what I was wading through all those parts for--WHAT TO EAT???? Nevertheless, it's fascinating.
TEDMED promoters do a lot of work with the presenters to do the best possible presentations, and he describes the process on his blog (that's an interesting topic all on its own!). I've seen and heard other interviews he's done and he's very much in the head. This time he was very much in the heart, and WOW, what an incredible impact!
I listen to the Ted Talk podcasts on my iPhone and they are great. It reminds me a lot of reading Smithsonian Magazine--you never know what you are going to find and it's the most interesting things you never thought about before.
I saw it last night and I thought it was great. And it reminded me, sadly, that one of my major motivations for losing weight is that I was worried that if something really terrible went wrong with my diabetes, that I would not be able to get the best treatment if I was fat. I was especially worried that I'd need a kidney one day and not be able to get one. I'm sure, as he said, that Attia gave the diabetic woman he treated technically good care, but I have to wonder if when a doctor's heart isn't in it... Well, let's just say I would like for my doctors to feel as emotionally invested as possible and not let themselves off the hook bc they've found some reason to blame me for my condition.
I hope that this and future work from the Taubes/Attia corner will make some impact on how we as a culture see fat people. I don't have high hopes for that, but I do think its great that anybody at all is saying that the way we view fat people is wrong.
I have for a long time, long before discovering Atkins in 2000, been saying that type II's don't get diabetes from being fat, but have some underlying condition that causes both to happen. (I know that's not spot on with what he's saying but it's pretty close.) But, jeez, I have very little science background and I can see that... Why on earth has it taken this long for someone in the medical field to see it? And how could it be that doctors (have to assume -- and the reality is that we all KNOW -- that many, many of them think the same way Attia did) don't question the common wisdom??? It really burns me up! :mad: (Though using the angry smilie guy always makes me feel better. lol)
As for the science part of it all, he actually said a few things that surprised me. One that I thought was really interesting was that skinny people with IR have worse outcomes and that he thinks the fat storage thing is a protective mechanism. And the thing about fat people who are not IR not have the bad health outcomes that people with IR have. So interesting! I wonder if the HAES/fat acceptance community is talking about this and excited about it.
BTW, this seems less important somehow now that I'm basically a normal-weighted person (I'm still technically "obese", but I could swear I'm really very close to "normal"), but I have looked for and wondered if there is such a thing as a busy fat acceptance community online, like a forum (I know there's quite a blog circuit, but I don't feel at home with those somehow, I can read but don't get how you interact, really). I've looked and have only found ones where there hasn't been a new post in four months. Anyone know???
Attia is the one who turned to Phinney and Volek for help because he was extremely metabolically resistant and had to go quite low on carbs, right? (sorry, I've read so much I get mixed up sometimes)
And Jayne, about the medical care issue-- did you see that cartoon where there was a rhinoceros with his horn stuck into the patient's spine and the doctor was saying "I can't diagnose your pain until you lose some weight." ?
WOW, I Really like that!!!!!
He was able to turn around his insulin resistance pretty effectively. He is a young man and due to the comparatively fewer yrs. he spent eating the wrong way, his 'recovery' will be easier and shorter.
I do think that like any other chronic disease, the longer one continues on the path of ever worsening disease the less likely it is to reverse it completely and certainly, the longer it will take. I hold hope that recovery can take up to 8 yrs. which means I have another 4 yrs. to fully realize my n.k. eating plan's full potential. This comes from Dr. Lutz's writings of his clinical experiences (Life Without Bread).
And wow, I woulda been so much better off if I had started down this path at 30. Things originally started really going bad at about 26. That's when I started gaining, but actually, I didn't start seriously overeating until a couple of years later, when I got to law school. For those first couple of years I was furiously dieting -- super low fat, whole grains, veggies. And then I started law school, which was pretty rigorous and I didn't have time or energy for banging my head against that wall anymore and boy did things snowball. I used to buy two giant lemon poppyseed muffins and a big thing of yummy bean and escarole soup on my way to the library and it was kinda blissful. Like a drug, really. Sigh... Well, anyhow, those 13 years were not kind to my body. And I don't think the recovery is going to be quick, though the gains I have made already are huge.
If only I'd stuck with it because I did so great before (that's how I got pregnant, because I got my PCOS under control). I would not be struggling as I am now. Coulda, shoulda, woulda. :(
If you have any advice for how to pass a bar exam with children, lmk! I took the cali bar last summer and failed miserably (but I knew I hadn't studied anywhere near enough) and I'm taking it again in July and I don't think there's any chance of passing. I have only been through about half of the subjects and only 4 weeks to go, and not a lot of help w childcare. Gah. So screwed! I NEED to pass in february, though. I don't want to spend a decade of my life studying for this stupid test!
eta: Do you knit? I think a big part of my problem with the bar is that knitting is so much more appealing than studying. lol But truthfully, I don't get a lot of time for that either.
Thanks for mentioning this! I had not seen the video. It really makes you think. and it does make sense.
I need to visit PA's blog more often. I do tend to park there and stay for days when I visit. So much good info!
I highly recommend the book. He talks about a number of health improvements in his patients through low carb diet. One disease he talks about taking up to 8 yrs. to cure is colitis. Patients would have flares, albeit much less frequency and severity but none the less, up to 8 yrs. to be free of them and the disease.

*Keep in mind this is from a engineering/QA/product mgmt POV:
- Plenty of room to rise up and get that title if you can last long
- Most business partners are pleasant to work with
- There are lots of good people there, but many have left in the last ~2-3 years so not sure if that's a pro anymoreCons
*Keep in mind this is from a engineering/QA/product mgmt POV:
- Too many changes and its constant. They'll re-org every 1-1.5 years! People have had 5 different superiors in 1-2 years!
- Morale is super low
- Ridiculous timelines with ridiculous features with no resources
- A bit like the blind leading the blind
- No vision, and if there is/was it constantly changes
- Some leadership and new folks they've hired since starting WalmartLabs are pretentious and not pleasant to work with.
- Business partners often don't understand software development and the amount of time/resources it takes to build. I've been told, "well, aren't your agile? Doesn't that mean I will get my products even faster!"
- No sense of change management whatsoever
- Lots of politics
- Some leaders are promoted so fast without much reason so they are not seasoned or groomed correctly
- Benefits package compared to to other tech companies is a bit of a joke. Simply because it is retail.
- Turnover is a huge issue.Advice to ManagementAdvice
If you're serious about catching up to competitors you have to stick to a vision and organization for 5 years+. Be willing to invest in technology, your people and expect mistakes and losses in your business for the years to come! You can't have your pie and eat it too.Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEO

Good technical talent. It is a mix where a lot of them are fresh out of school but have PhDs. Very few senior technical staff.Cons
Most of the non-walmartlabs management that you have to deal with is quite political and extremely hierarchical in org.
This goes down to the ground staff also. Case in point: I had parked my car in the one of many visitor parking spots because the garage was filled up completely. I was questioned as to why I had come in that late (11 am) by the security guard !!! This is one of many examples, but you get the idea.
And yes, If you lose your badge, its 25$ to get a new one (out of your pocket :))
Health benefits are really poor.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Remains to be seen if the culture will survive since most of walmart has a very different culture.Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookApproves of CEO

what version of apache and ssl? I've had terrible problems with mod_ssl crashing with apache depending on what it was built with. Eventually I had to build my own with visual c++ 6!
Been desparetly trying to get SSL working in apache today. Cerated the key and certificate files using open SSL, uncommented the line to load the modSSL module, and the line that loads the ssl.conf file, and I've edited the files with the correct locations of the certificate files etc.
However it doesn't work!!!! The apache services won't start. If I comment out the line that calls the ssl.conf file, then it starts ok, so something in this file is causing the service to stall, but I dion't know what! Are there any really obvious bits I'm missing, something else that needs changing?? I've tried following several on-line guides but none of the tips contained in them have worked for me.
Any advice appreciated.
And yes I know, apache on windows, why not lynix I hear you cry? I'm forced to use windows by our LEA who provide our webserver unfortunitely!
what version of apache and ssl? I've had terrible problems with mod_ssl crashing with apache depending on what it was built with. Eventually I had to build my own with visual c++ 6!
It was downloaded as a package (apache_2.2.6-win32-x86-openssl-0.9.8e.msi) but I've tried other versions as well, with no luck. I'm sure I'm blatently doing something wrong, but I can't find a definitive guide, and the help on the apache site is way to indepth for me.
All I want is an SSL connection. It can't be that hard, but so far wasted the best part of a day trying to achieve it.
anything in the error log when it fails to start?
Just sussed this out.
There was an error on starting, problem with the SSL.conf file (didn't realise if you start apache from command prompt you get more details on the error!) Googled it, and found it was quite a common error. Now fixed and working! Woohooo!

In case you missed the memo, or if you just can't keep up with the onslaught of Jason Statham movies, he's got one more coming but it's going straight-to-DVD and it's called "Blitz." And yeah, it looks pretty low-rent even for a Statham flick.Read More »
Are moviegoers getting tired of a new Jason Statham movie every six to eight months where he plays a guy who has a job that requires him to beat people up? Granted, his resumé isn't the most varied but the actor has his niche and it seems to be serving both him and the studios well enough. In January, his latest "The Mechanic" opened up to Jason Statham Numbers which means $29 million domestic -- pretty much falling in line with the figures for "The Transporter," "Crank," "Cellular," "Death Race," and "The Bank Job." In an era of uncertainty at the box office he's about as close as it comes to a guarantee, though those numbers aren't going to...Read More »

A red band trailer for "Blitz" has arrived and it d...Read More »
You gotta hand it to Jason Statham. The guy knows he's never gonna win an Oscar, and what pays the bills: beating the living shit out of dudes on screen.

The Law Firm Of Levi & Korsinsky, LLP Launches An Investigation Into Possible Securities Laws Violations By Pacific Biosciences Of California, Inc.
NEW YORK, Dec. 5, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Levi & Korsinsky is investigating potential claims on behalf of purchasers of the securities of Pacific Biosciences of California, Inc. ("PacBio" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: PACB) concerning possible violations of federal securities laws.
For more information, click here: http://zlk.9nl.com/pacific-biosciences-california-pacb/.
The investigation stems from allegations that the Company failed to disclose the following: (a) that contrary to the Company's claim that the RS system its used for DNA sequencing had a 'market dominating' 99.3 percent base calling accuracy rate, the system's raw-read accuracy rate was in fact between 80 and 84 percent; (b) that as a result of PacBio's inefficient RS system, potential customers would be forced to sacrifice long read length time to obtain increased raw-read accuracy in DNA sequencing; (c) that numerous bugs and flaws in PacBio's RS system caused it to crash frequently; and (d) owing to the aforementioned problems, PacBio's RS system was receiving significant negative feedback.On September 21, 2011, PacBio disclosed that its operations were threatened by the Company's cash burn and, as a result, the Company would lay off 130 employees and would incur $5 million in related separation expenses. In reaction to this news, PacBio stock plummeted 25% to close at $4.25 per share. If you own PacBio stock and wish to obtain additional information about the investigation and your legal rights, please contact Joseph E.

Check these out, too...
1. Grab some duct tape, and attach a pair of binoculars to a
2. Get a piece of cardboard. Trace the front circles
(meaning the large end) of the binoculars on it, and cut them out.
3. Stick the binoculars through the holes you cut out, and
tape the cardboard in place.
4. Put the lens cap on one of the binocular lenses, or just
tape over it. (You're only gonna need one to view the Sun.)
5. Plug any holes in the cardboard or around the lenses with
more duct tape.
6. Get a white piece of cardboard, and hold it about a foot
away from the back end (the small part) of the binoculars.
7. Scooch the tripod around 'til ya see a pic of the Sun on
your cardboard, and then you can focus the binoculars to make it clearer.
8. Watch history unfold as Venus makes its move!
Just a note – be careful not to put your hands or anything
that might catch fire near the back lens of your binoculars. That's some strong
Sun you're catchin' there, and ya don't want it to burn anything. In fact, you
might wanna move your binoculars out of the sun for a little bit, just to give
them a break from the heat every once in a while. They could get messed up if
ya keep 'em trained on that burnin' ball all night.
