BGS, in collaboration with the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (CEH), has carried out an investigation of the occurrence of molybdenum in British drinking water. Our reconnaissance investigations showed that molybdenum concentrations were less than 2 μg/L in all analysed samples and are unlikely to pose a problem for water supply in Britain.
Drinking water in Britain is taken from both groundwater and surface water sources. Our study involved assessing the concentrations and distributions of molybdenum in these sources as well as in treated water used for public drinking water supply.
Assessments have also been made of the occurrence of molybdenum in sediments, rocks and soils.
Molybdenum is considered an essential trace element for human health, but as for many elements, exposure to high doses can be detrimental.
In 1993, the WHO introduced a health-based guideline value for molybdenum in drinking water of 70 µg/L.
The WHO retains a health-based value of 70 µg/L in the 2011 (fourth edition) guidelines but no longer lists a formal guideline value for molybdenum on the grounds that concentrations in drinking water are usually much below this value.
BGS datasets indicate that concentrations of molybdenum in rocks, sediments and soils in the UK are typically less than 10 mg/kg.
Concentrations greater than 20 mg/kg can be found in some fine-grained sediments, especially those containing sulphide minerals. Relatively high concentrations are also found in some ironstones and granites. Concentrations of molybdenum in 65 000 stream sediments from England and Wales (G-BASE data) range up to 309 mg/kg, but with a 90th percentile value of just 2.9 mg/kg.
Samples of treated drinking water were taken from 12 public supply sources across England and Wales, monitored over an 18 month period. For all sources sampled, observed concentrations were less than 2 µg/L. For three of the 12 sources, concentrations of molybdenum in all samples were <0.03 µg/L.
Concentrations of molybdenum in untreated surface waters and groundwaters in Britain are also usually very low:
The ranges of molybdenum observed in groundwaters and surface waters and treated drinking water indicate that molybdenum concentrations in Britain rarely occur in excess of, or approaching, the WHO health-based value of 70 µg/L.
Results suggest that molybdenum is unlikely to pose a significant problem for the British water-supply industry and support the WHO conclusion that molybdenum in drinking water does not approach the concentrations likely to be detrimental to health.
The initial funding for the project was provided by Defra (2006–2008), with ongoing studies funded by NERC.

About Juice McCain
Richard Evans possessed the intense passion, the ardent lyricism, and the continuous support from his peers as an aspiring musician. These elements combined eventually motivated him to track down rapper The Game and personally hand him a demo. Now better known as his stage name "Juice," he proves to be an unstoppable force with the encouragement from his famous mentor, captivating records, and lyrics that touch the soul of any listener. Juice's short time in the industry has already led him on a myriad of successes that most rapper could only dream of achieving. He has been featured on tracks with superstar rappers Nas, Lil Wayne, and Ice Cube. In addition, multi-talented act Kanye West has even produced his breakthrough single "We Rollin." In just a few years, he has done two U.S. tours and world tours throughout China, Africa, Europe, and many more. He also has been featured in renowned hip-hop publications XXL and Source, and has even performed at the 1st Annual BET Hip Hop Awards. As an artist currently affiliated with The Game's Black Wall Street label, Juice continues to display the purpose behind his flourishing career. The two even appeared on famous late night show David Letterman together. He truly emblazons with pride his self-proclaimed nicknames the "Arizona crown-holder" and "New Breath of the West Coast." The Pennsylvania-born but Arizona raised Juice ultimately caught the attention of The Game after going to great lengths to give him a demo as well as freestyle for him. The rest, as they say, is history. The Game immediately took Juice on tour and signed him the following day. In addition to being affiliated with The Game's label, Juice is signed to Phoenix Suns Power Forward Amar'e Stoudemire's Hypocalypto Records, which is also known for being affiliated with Grand Hustle. Juice currently has two released mixtapes called Death Certificate and Position of Power, which were subsequently released in 2008 and 2009. Death Certificate garnered so much attention that it was nominated for 4 Justo Awards including Mixtape of the Year. Juice is currently hard at work on two upcoming mixtapes American Me and Position of Power 2, and his debut album The Anticipated. Juice's powerful verses and strong passion for the industry heavily influence his talent. He exhibits debonair characteristics, yet a cutting-edge swag that comes to life in each song. A star has definitely been born.

With Mrs. Kennedy, it's a different story. Manchester may hymn the First Lady's looks and elegance, but in her he has a living—indeed, suddenly metamorphosing—creature to deal with. After the killing, immune to Scotch and sedatives, she marshals her will for a series of history-minded decisions and truly graceful gestures (gently touching the ham hand of the weeping Sergeant Dugger, for one). Manchester makes plain that Bobby Kennedy, not his sister-in-law, took the initial steps toward planning the massive state funeral. But once Mrs. Kennedy rose to full function, the two of them became a formidable team.
In 1966 they united against Manchester, attempting to thwart serialization of The Death of a President in Look magazine, and then to block publication of the book itself by redeeming the author's early, unwise promise of "manuscript approval." In Mrs. Kennedy's case, Manchester realized, the basic problem was that "she didn't really want any book" at all on the assassination, especially one that had been enabled by her long, daiquiri-driven interviews with the author. When she met with Manchester to hash things out, she deployed "tears, grimaces, and whispery cries of 'Jesus Christ!'," as well as a threatening reminder that the only thing the American public wouldn't put up with from her was running off with Eddie Fisher.
Bobby Kennedy's objections followed a political calculus that now seems obscure. Not yet having decided to run for president, he was afraid that Manchester's depictions of Lyndon Johnson—first as a humbled vice president and then, suddenly, an overeager chief executive—might create problems for himself inside the Democratic party. Evan Thomas, Manchester's editor at Harper & Row (and father of RFK's subsequent biographer), proposed a bundle of cuts and changes, not only to please the Kennedy family but to keep Harper & Row from losing a crack at LBC's own memoirs when the time came for them to be auctioned.
Any reader of the battle scenes between the Kennedy "loyalists" and Johnson "realists" will understand that Manchester's portrait of Johnson is in fact so fundamentally reasonable and sympathetic—it shows a man marshaling his huge skills during what, for all anyone knew, might be an international plot preceding a nuclear attack—that it has to have been largely that way from the beginning. On the other hand, those in the Kennedy camp (including, occasionally, RFK himself) behaved so disgracefully that one must wonder if Bobby's real fear wasn't what readers would think of them. In this sense, Robert Kennedy's attempt to suppress Manchester's book seems only an extension of the grief-entitled arrogance on display that weekend.
At the beginning of this decade, I made my own foray into the history of the assassination with a long profile for The New Yorker of Ruth Paine, the Quaker woman in Dallas who became a key Warren Commission witness because of her solicitous friendship with Lee and Marina Oswald. In the nine months before Kennedy's murder, Ruth helped Oswald to get his job at the Book Depository and remained unaware that he was keeping a rifle in her garage.
A poignant figure whose life was convulsed by her connection to the killing, she left Manchester, as he put it in a footnote, "impressed by her exceptional forthrightness." He sought her out primarily for help in understanding Oswald's behavior. When I tracked Ruth down decades later, it was not in order to reinvestigate the crime (I am an implacable Lone Nutter), but with a view toward understanding her own character and ordeal. Among my many sources were Manchester's book as well the notes from his interview with Ruth, now in the National Archives.
I have come to realize that Manchester's approach—his quest for the smallest particulars, his emotional sense of history and its ironies—informed my work more than any specific facts I learned from him. When it came time to publish Mrs. Paine's Garage (2002), an expansion of my magazine piece, I endured nothing to equal Manchester's legal and personal ordeal, but I did experience a degree of psychological stress. Ruth's own agitation about having revisited her awful experience spilled over into my life and, predictably, I had to deal with a bilious bubbling up of scorn from the still feverish swamps of conspiracy theory.

McLaren achieved the first part of their plan for the weekend by taking the two top qualifying slots for the Italian Grand Prix at Monza on Saturday.
Fernando Alonso held a small but crucial advantage over team mate Lewis Hamilton throughout the three sessions, and took the pole with a best lap of 1m 21.997s, having earlier set the fastest lap thus far this weekend of 1m 21.356s in the second.
Hamiltons response was 1m 22.034s, and they were comfortably ahead of Felipe Massas Ferrari, which the Brazilian took round in 1m 22.549s. Massas team mate Kimi Raikkonen ran a rebuilt F2007 and lapped it in 1m 22.183s, but right at the end he was pipped by Nick Heidfeld, who whirled his BMW Sauber round in 1m 23.174s. His team partner, Robert Kubica, was sixth on 1m 23.446s.
Heikki Kovalainen squeezed his Renault ahead of Nico Rosbergs Williams, with which the German has been quick all weekend. The two former GP2 competitors lapped in 1m 24.102s and 1m 24.382s respectively. The top 10 was completed by Toyotas Jarno Trulli on 1m 24.555s and Jenson Button, who gave Honda a fillip with 1m 25.165s.
Mark Webber was the best of the rest for Red Bull, posting 1m 23.166s to set the 11th fastest lap of Q2. That beat Rubens Barrichello, who had taken his Honda round in 1m 23.176s before spinning at the second Lesmo trying to improve that. Alex Wurz will start 13th for Williams with 1m 23.209s, with Anthony Davidson for company after the Englishman lapped in 1m 23.274s in his Super Aguri.
It was a disastrous session for Giancarlo Fisichella, who was only 15th on 1m 23.325s for Renault, after complaining of being delayed on his final flying lap by Barrichello's off-track excursion. Meanwhile, Sebastian Vettel made it through from Q1 for the first time in his tenure at Toro Rosso, with 1m 23.351s.
Q1 weeded out Super Aguris Takuma Sato (1m 23.749s), Toyotas Ralf Schumacher (1m 23.787s), Toro Rossos Tonio Liuzzi (1m 23.886s), David Coulthard (who lapped his Red Bull in 1m 24.019s before spinning with a suspected gearbox problem at the first chicane, climbing out of his abandoned car, and bowing ruefully to the crowd), Spykers Adrian Sutil (1m 24.699s) and Sakon Yamamoto (who spun his Spyker approaching the first chicane and took off his front wing on the outer wall).
So thats the starting line-up for Sundays race, and McLaren look very strong. But Ferrari have often struggled over the single lap this year and run much better over a race distance, so the outcome is not easy to predict, especially with Heidfeld right in there for BMW Sauber.

Acquired tracheomalacia is a weakness and floppiness of the walls of the windpipe (trachea) that develops after birth.
See also: Congenital tracheomalacia
Secondary tracheomalacia
Acquired tracheomalacia is very uncommon. Rarely, babies, infants, and adults may develop the condition. It occurs when normal cartilage in the wall of the windpipe begins to break down.
Acquired, or secondary, tracheomalacia may result:
A physical examination confirms the symptoms. A chest x-ray may show narrowing of the trachea when breathing out. Even if the x-ray is normal, it is needed to rule out other problems.
A procedure called a laryngoscopy is used to diagnose the condition. This procedure allows the otolaryngologist (ear, nose, and throat doctor, or ENT) to see the structure of the airway and determine how severe the problem is.
Other tests that may be performed include:
The condition may improve without treatment, but persons with tracheomalacia must be monitored closely when they have respiratory infections.
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) may be necessary for adults with respiratory distress. Rarely, surgery is needed. A stent may be needed to hold the airway.
Aspiration pneumonia can occur from breathing in food.
Adults who develop tracheomalacia after being on a breathing machine often have serious lung problems.
Call your health care provider if you or your child breathes in an abnormal way. It can become an urgent or emergency condition.

Love on the job: The new rules of office romance By Lynn Vincent Bankrate.com
You and your co-worker have a secret: love on the job. Can coming clean help or hurt your career?
When their on-the-job love affair tanked, Kevin and Julie, both air traffic controllers in San Diego, whipped out the "How to mess up an office romance" game plan and executed it, play by play.
Sharpening their claws and daggers, they plotted ways to make each other jealous. They formed enemy cliques, and flamed each other with scathing gossip. And when they worked the same shift in the control tower -- a stressful environment in the best of times -- the round, 15-foot room seethed like a boiling kettle with the lid on too tight. They were miserable --and so were their co-workers. Kevin eventually transferred, but not before both he and Julie were reprimanded by management.
Typical end to an office romance, right? Wrong.
The stereotypical office affair that explodes into disaster is no longer stereotypical. In fact, a number of workplace romance myths have evaporated over the past 20 years, according to Dennis Powers, author of The Office Romance: How to Play with Fire Without Getting Burned.
Myth: Most workplace liaisons involve an older, male boss and a younger, female subordinate.
Fact: With the proportion of women in management now approaching half, the demographic recipe for office romances is as varied as for those cooked up at the gym, on the beach or in the personal growth section at the bookstore.
- advertisement -
Myth: Most office affairs are sleazy little flings.
BUZ-Z-Z-Z. (Thank you for playing.)
Fact: In today's corporate-driven society, the office is the most likely place for a person to meet and meld with his or her one true love.
According to Powers, Americans have been socialized into thinking about intimacy and work as separate compartments of life.
"That is simply not true," says Powers, a Harvard MBA who interviewed for his book more than 150 people who had found love on the job. "Given the hours men and women are working, the job now has the greatest opportunities for meeting someone, with the exception of college and universities. If you haven't met someone in college, the job is the next logical place to find your ideal mate."
But the fact that office romances are increasingly kosher doesn't mean they are without career and personal risks. Close quarters, office busybodies and professional competition can still jam up the gears of an on-the-clock courtship. Powers offers the following advice to make sure a hot romance doesn't end in a nuclear meltdown:
1. Know what you want from the relationship. If your philosophy is "girls just want to have fun" and he's ready to rent a church, there could be trouble ahead. Decide in advance whether temporary fun is worth working together later as exes.
2. Check out the corporate climate. What are your company's written and unwritten rules? How will your co-workers react? Maintain your professional image by leaving both squabbles and public displays of affection at home.
3. Establish clear "exit routes" in the beginning. Be candid with each other about how you'll handle working together if your togetherness doesn't work out. And even if it does work out, will you both continue at the same company?
4. Create a joint partnership. Recognize upfront that an office romance carries with it special considerations. Strive for equal decision making and mutual responsibility. Establish priorities and strategies for tackling critical issues -- such as whether to go public.
That's what Steve and Renee did when they worked together at America Online. Both public relations professionals at AOL, the pair decided to keep their personal relations private.
"There were two aspects to the relationship," says Steve, who dated Renee for a year-and-a-half. "The personal part and the business part. We had to figure out how to keep those separate."
In business meetings, for example, the two often had conflicting viewpoints. "We just had to hash that out and figure out how not to take it home with us," says Steve.
With the office rapidly becoming the No. 1 source of date-producing encounters, that kind of maturity and foresight is critical for maintaining both a satisfying personal life and a healthy career.
If you go into a relationship prepared to deal with potential obstacles, says Powers, you can have your career and date it, too.

Democratic Design Patterns
Way back in 2001, Mark Winstanley and I wrote a book, Server-side Flash: scripts, databases, and dynamic development. I ended up writing code for PERL, ASP and PHP all integrated with Flash through ActionScript. At that time, PHP and ActionScript were relatively young. PHP 4.0 had just been introduced the year before and ActionScript was still ActionScript with no number. However, Flash 5 set ActionScript free from an early version that was tied into the original IDE and life was good.
In any event, I discovered PHP and MySQL and have been a fan ever since. I'd really like to write a mobile app in ActionScript that uses PHP and MySQL, and someday I may. However, some of you may have noticed that I've not been very active on this blog. The truth of the matter is that I haven't been active on any blog since about last June because I've been working on a new design pattern book with O'Reilly, Learning PHP Design Patterns. The book is nearing completion (the first draft is done), and O'Reilly has an Early Release available if any of you want to add your comments prior to the final version.
A while back I had started a PHP Design Pattern Blog and I found that while there were differences in the way I had to write the patterns because PHP does not have strongly typed code (no data-typing required or allowed). Most of the patterns could be transferred from those Chandima and I have done in ActionScript 3.0. Of course I had to use new examples and ones that were aligned with how PHP is implemented, but the general idea of design patterns was easily transferable. (A major regret of this new design pattern book is that Chandima was unable to co-author it with me because of his time constraints.) Originally, Chandima and I had to work out how ActionScript 3.0 code could replace SmallTalk and C++ used in the original Gang of Four design pattern book, but moving from ActionScript 3.0 to PHP 5 turned to be far easier than expected.
So if you use design patterns in ActionScript 3.0, you might be interested in how they can be used with PHP. I plan to continue to develop games using ActionScript 3.0, Design Patterns and Starling as well as mobile apps. With PHP (with the help of design patterns and jQuery Mobile), I've been working on "all weather" Web pages that can be dynamically changed from desktop views to mobile views. My very favorite will be incorporating both ActionScript 3.0+ and PHP 5+ into design patterns developed interactive applications.
Let's hear from you about this topic!

Arizona Boosts Renewable Energy Requirements
Members of the Arizona Corporation Commission voted recently to continue increasing the percentage of the state's electric power generation that comes from renewable sources.
The move comes three years after Arizona adopted its Environmental Portfolio Standard, which requires utilities to generate a minimum portion of their total retail energy sales from renewable sources. Starting in 2001, that requirement was set to increase each year, to 1.0% in 2005. Affected utilities currently must generate 0.8% of their power from renewables.
With the recent decision, increases will proceed as follows:
- 1.0% in 2005
- 1.05% in 2006
- 1.1% from 2007 to 2012
The Environmental Portfolio Standard specifies technologies such as solar generation, solar water heating, and solar air conditioning. From 2004 through 2012 the portfolio must be 60% solar electric. Other qualifying technologies include wind, landfill gas, and biomass generators.
There is no rate change associated with the recent decision. Since 2001, Arizona consumers and businesses pay a $0.000875 per kWh surcharge for environmentally friendly technologies and renewable energy. Applied to a typical customer with monthly usage of 400 kWh, that surcharge amounts to $0.35 per month, and the commission has ruled that no residential customer can pay more than that amount. In other words, the surcharge is capped at $0.35 a month for residential customers and $13 a month for commercial accounts. Large power consumers who require more than 3 MW at any time during the month are capped at $39 a month.

8 Ways to Bust the Winter Blahs
For many people, cold weather and a lack of sunshine can bring on a mild depression known as the ''winter blues.'' People that experience the ''winter blues'' will generally lack motivation and energy. Others may even develop a clinical depression in the form of SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder).
According to the Mayo Clinic, SAD is ''a type of depression that occurs at the same time every year. If you're like most people with seasonal affective disorder, your symptoms start in the fall and may continue into the winter months, sapping your energy and making you feel moody.'' Those that experience SAD may produce too much melatonin, which is a hormone that helps to regulate sleep and body temperature. Producing too much melatonin disrupts the body's internal clock and may then cause depression, as seen with SAD sufferers.
Some of the signs of SAD may include the following:
- Loss of energy
- Social withdrawal
- Difficulty concentrating
- Depressed mood
- Fatigue
- Weight gain
- Cravings for sweet and starchy foods
- Oversleeping
Wired? 7 Tips to Help Tech Addicts Sleep Better
Just about everywhere you look someone is using technology. I find it's actually difficult to go out and not see people texting or playing games on their cell phones. It seems that using our phones and other mobile devices (iPads, tablets, laptops, etc.) is such a common thing now. According to this article, the National Sleep Foundation found that "more than 90 percent of Americans regularly use a computer or electronic device of some kind in the hour before bed." With the use of electronic devices like that, researchers are finding that the "exposure to light from computer tablets significantly lowered levels of the hormone melatonin, which regulates our internal clocks and plays a role in the sleep cycle." This can cause disturbances in our sleep, along with increasing our risk of obesity and diabetes.

Set Realistic Goals for Success
When someone sets a weight-loss goal (or any goal), it needs to be realistic because that is what sets us up to succeed. If we set some wild and crazy goals for ourselves that is too difficult or that we know cannot be achieved, we are setting ourselves up to fail and that doesn't get us any closer to where we want to be.
When it comes to weight-loss, many people have a certain number in their mind of what they want to weigh, whether it is because we remember being that weight at a certain time in our life, it is what we think is ideal, or any other number of reasons. For me, I had a number in mind, but I honestly don't know where that number came from. So I had my goal weight in my mind and like many others, I wanted to get to that number fast. But after reading some articles on SparkPeople, I realized quickly that the weight wasn't going to be lost as fast as I would like. I was still feeling ambitious though and set the maximum weight-loss goal of 2 pounds per week. Was that a realistic goal for me? No. Was I defeated? No way! Although, most of the time I was lucky to lose a half pound per week. Even though I did everything right (eating healthy and exercising), I never had a week with a 2 pound loss.

How to Keep Exercise from Zapping Your Energy
Do you ever hit an energy low during your workouts? If so, there could be a variety of reasons why, but some of those can be an easy fix, such as eating properly, getting enough rest, drinking plenty of water, changing up your workouts, etc.
Whenever I find myself hitting a low during my workouts, I run through a list of things in my head to figure out what may be happening so it doesn't continue to happen for future workouts. A few things that I do to make sure I have enough energy for my workouts are to make sure I'm well rested, drink plenty of water and make sure I switch up my workouts so I don't get bored. If I'm not well rested, then I am going to be tired well before my workout, which will not only cause my workout to be less than great, but it can also lead to more fatigue and possible injuries. On the days that I know I didn't sleep well the night before, I either do a short walk as my workout (or something else that is quick and simple) or I skip that day's workout. I would rather go to bed early to help me catch up on my sleep so I will be more rested and less injury prone. If all goes well and am better rested the next day, I am able to put more effort into my workout then.

Fun and Active Date Ideas
My husband and I just celebrated our 14th anniversary earlier this week and I thought it was a great time to share some active date ideas with you. While we haven't had a chance to actually celebrate our anniversary just yet, we will be doing something active and fun when we do. We both enjoy a good movie and dinner, but that can be costly not only for our wallets, but our waistline as well.
Poll: How Are You Challenging Yourself?
A couple of weeks ago, I blogged about how I normally work out alone, whether I'm at the gym or at home. I also shared my concerns that I had about taking fitness classes and asked for recommendations for getting over those concerns. I was impressed by the amazing amount of positive and supportive comments, along with the fitness class recommendations that were made on that blog and I truly thank each and every one of you that left a comment! In response to those wonderful comments that you all left on that blog, I wanted to write another blog to let you know what I have done since then.

Life Lessons 101: Taught By My Dog, Zoe
As some of you may remember, I have a yellow lab named Zoe (along with a new puppy adopted from the shelter and three cats). When my husband and I brought Zoe home though, our lives changed forever! She is full of character and enthusiasm, to say the least. While I've been taking her to obedience training classes to get her to learn how to behave well, she is not the only one that has been learning new things. Zoe has taught me some very valuable life lessons that I think may help others too.

Motivation: How Can I Find It?
How can I get motivated?
How do I stay motivated?
Will someone please motivate me to exercise?
These are all questions that I have seen a lot of members ask on the SparkPeople message boards recently. Motivation seems to be hard to come by some days, while other days it seems much easier. Why is that? Well, something that I have experienced that may help with the "problem" of finding and keeping motivation to stick with your health goals (and any other goals you may have set), is to find the motivation and power from within yourself.
While having external motivators, such as preparing for a big event, fitting into your swimsuit just in time for summer or fitting into a particular outfit for that special event, can be helpful in the short-term, it may not help you in the long-term. What happens to your motivation once that event comes and goes? Your motivation to keep going after an external motivator is over may cause you to lose your desire to move forward, therefore, you may be more likely to lose your motivation and fall back into some older, less healthy habits. That is unless you have some other form of motivation from within yourself.

Weekends: You Can Survive Them
Do you find yourself doing great with your healthy lifestyle habits during the week, only to find that you lose your motivation to stick to those healthy habits during the weekend? Don't worry, you are not the only one! I see numerous SparkPeople members say something similar to this somewhat often. You work so hard during the week for your job and/or school, your family, doing various tasks, changing various lifestyle habits, etc., and perhaps you feel you need a break from it all at the end of the week. However, by making some small adjustments you can change that all around and make your weekends healthier too! We have rounded up a variety of resources to help you get through the weekends with more motivation to stick to your healthy lifestyle habits.
Is Your Weight Loss Puzzle Missing a Crucial Piece?
When it comes to succeeding at weight loss, knowing what to do is only half the battle. The real challenge is sticking with your healthy lifestyle in the midst of all the other responsibilities you have on your plate. Even with hard work and self-discipline, it's easy to get tripped up by pitfalls like emotional eating, waning motivation, and erratic weight fluctuations without a good game plan.
On your road to weight loss, you will encounter a few major triggers that I like to call the three Os—overwhelm, overload, and overeating. The first two Os-- overwhelm and overload-- both create incredible challenges for new habits and lifestyle changes by triggering the third O--overeating. When you are stressed, your biochemistry makes you hungry. When you don't take the time to care for yourself in other ways, food can tempt you as an easy-to-reach stress relief, or a way to "energize" and keep going.
Here's what you need to know.

Setting Non-Diet Goals: Helpful for Overall Well-Being
It's that time of year again, the time when people make resolutions, or in my case, goals. I've never been known to make resolutions, but I do like to make a list of goals for myself for things that I want to accomplish throughout the year. However, the start of a new year is not the only time I make goals for myself – I actually do this at least a few times a year. When I do make my goal list, I like to look at what I have accomplished so far and see if I need to make any adjustments to my current goals or add new ones. I see this as a list that evolves with me and what I feel is important.
Of course though, my list always includes goals that are health-related. Actually, that is what most of my goals have been in the last few years, but this year I am trying something a little different. While I do have some health goals on my list and will continue to work towards those, this year I want to put a little more focus on some goals that are not health-related.

Everything You Need to Know about Stress Relief
Stress is something that everyone encounters at least once in their lifetime, and some may experience it more than others. Some people are also able to manage their stress levels well, while others have a difficult time in dealing with it. Let's face it, while the holidays are meant to be a joyous part of the year, stress is rampant during this time as well, and many of us experience even more stress than usual! With all the parties and events that you need to attend, shopping that needs to be done, entertaining out-of-town guests, etc. , you may find yourself running out of time to get things done, including your workouts. I've rounded up a variety of resources to help you learn about stress and combat/relieve your stress in healthy ways. I hope that you will be able to use some of these rescources to de-stress during the holidays (and after they are long gone), especially if you have ever felt like the woman in the picture.

Life on the Balance Beam
I've often watched the young female gymnasts in competition in a state of awe and wonder. How do they do all those jumps and twirls on the balance beam without falling off and make it look so easy in the process? The precision, the focus, the leap in the face of fear mentality – how do I get some of that?
Maybe that routine on the balance beam is like the healthy lifestyle to you. Some days there seems to be no balance and you can't get all the things in order to make it work. You're juggling the job, the family, the pets, the bills, the laundry, the housework, the yard work, or some combination of all those things and more. How are you supposed to fit in exercise, healthy grocery shopping, time to prep and cook meals, plan meals for the next day or week? It's daunting, frustrating, and frankly you might just want to give up. Well don't.
The thing about those gymnasts on TV is they didn't show up at the training facility yesterday and jump into competition today. They started their journey at the beginning and worked a very long time to get where they are. I appreciate this more now that I've been on the healthy lifestyle journey for three years (2 on SparkPeople). I had to start at the beginning, work it out, and keep figuring out how to make it work for me through life while it changed from day to day, month to month, and year to year.

Poll: How Do You Splurge on a Budget?
I'll just come out and say it: I'm cheap. If I can go without something, I will. If it's not a "necessity," then I don't need it, which means I don't buy it. I repair and mend broken appliances and holey socks. I use coupons and wait weeks for items to go on sale. I drive a 15-year-old car that gets me from place to place and that's about it. I don't own a Smartphone—or a phone that can even send a picture message. When I do go out to eat (a rare occasion), I usually order my food to-go just to save on tax and tip! Some people may view my penny-pinching ways as problematic, but I think frugal living is a virtue. After all, during hard economic times, living within a budget is a real challenge for many people.
I admit though: Living on the cheap can get old…fast. If you're not going on vacations, buying expensive clothes or toys, or spending much on entertainment, life can get boring. But only if you let it. Cheap as I may be, I realized recently that I do splurge on myself in little ways that add big pleasure to my everyday life. This led me to wonder: How do you splurge on a budget? Read More ›
It Is in Giving That We Receive Happiness
For many of us this time of year brings the opportunity to help others. I am a true believer that when we give our time, talent or treasure to others we truly receive one of the greatest blessings in life. Giving back or helping those in need is what connects us to others and makes us happy and studies are proving this to be the case. It is truly what living is meant to be.
In just a few short days I will be celebrating my 4 year SparkVersary which means I have spent countless hours perusing the message boards. Over the course of four years I have seen complete strangers reach out to help others and what an amazing event it is to witness. Friendships are made and solidified as our members connect. And who can better to relate to our situation than others who have walked in similar shoes.

Epoxy Epoxy coating is particularly effective when applied to surfaces suffering from corrosion or prolonged chemical exposure. These conditions are typically found in manholes, lift stations, vaults or any structure exposed to caustic substances. In preparation, the surface to be coated is hydro-blasted to remove any foreign material. Leaks are sealed using either cementitious mortar or gel grout. Once the surface has dried, the epoxy coating is evenly applied using a spray gun. Due to the rapid cure time of the epoxy, the structure can return to normal operation quickly. |

A week ago, millions of Americans voted — not just for the president, but for several federal, state and local representatives. Although seniors typically comprise the large majority of active voters (according to this Gallup poll, 85% of voters 65 and older were slated as "definitely likely to vote"), issues of importance to seniors were not necessarily high on the candidates' priority lists.
Now that the campaign season of big talk and lofty promises is over, writer Judith Graham tells us what we can expect about the fate and future of Medicare. In this post for the Association of Health Care Journalists' blog, she says, "Four words sum up the short-term outlook: cost cutting and restructuring." She does not believe a "radical overhaul" of the program, as proposed by Republicans, is likely. Instead, she foresees a more complex task: "restructuring the program and realigning its incentives to create a lower-cost, higher quality, more sustainable health care system." (Read Graham's full article, Panelists: Watch state activities for stories about seniors' health services, for further analysis here.)
What happens to Medicare will likely have an impact on seniors currently receiving services at home or in a care community setting, and it will certainly change future options. How can we as caregivers be prepared? By being proactive and making a "plan B." Start here with our Elder Care Planning Resource Guide.

Rumor: Sony planning to buy out EricssonAccording to the Wall Street Journal, Sony is close to finalizing a deal that would buy Ericsson out of its half of the Sony Ericsson partnership and award the PlayStation platform holder full control. The news comes from a group of people "familiar" on the matter. With total control, it's said Sony will be able to intergrate smartphones with its other hardware dabblings, synchronizing development with tablets, computers and game consoles. It will also be able to bring its newly developed PlayStation Suite to quite a few more phones, really pushing the platform. The deal's allegedly on shaky ground and could fall apart at any moment, but it'll be big news if it goes down. Guess we'll have to wait and see what happens next.

Made this last wk-end, it turned out quite good. 1 quart of beef broth 1 bottle of dark beer (I used an English mild) 1 head of cabbage, bottom removed, cut into strips 4 medium carrots, peeled and cut into slices 1 onion, quartered and cut into slices 1/2 tsp paprika Beef bouillon cubes salt and pepper to taste. Put all ingredients into a stock pot, add just enough water so that you can see liquid (NOT above the ingredients), add one bouillon cube for each pint of water you add. Bring to a boil, simmer for 60 minutes. The taste of the beer was surprisingly obvious but not over the top. Next time, I plan on adding some fire roasted tomatoes, should be nice! MC
Sounds good.
Oh, I was wanting to make a cabbage soup! My wife is dubious, but I still want to try it. I love cabbage.
I've used a cider for it before. Smelled quite strongly when making the soup but little taste made it through.
Made another batch this past wk-end. same recipe but added 2 cans of "fire roasted tomatoes". It's quite tomato-y and the beer/malt flavor is mostly lost. Next time I'll try just one can of the tomatoes. Still very tasty and a bit spicy. I've had the "pseudo-flu" this week and this soup has helped me feel better every night after work + walking the dogs. MC
Making this tonight but added some ham and cooking up some perogies to go with it.

Bass icon Flux Pavillion who has helped establish dubstep released his latest Blow the Roof EP which dares to go outside of his dubstep box. He brings electro house and breaks into the picture, with his own massive twist. This release further estblishes how forward thinking and versatile he is as an artist. Although he let out a good chunk of the release, hearing it all together really gives you the complete story he is trying to tell. We already got to sample The full version of "Do or Die" with Childish Gambino really blew me away and instantly became one of the my favorite from both Flux Pavilion and Childish Gambino . "Double Edge (ft. Sway & P Money)" is Flux's spin on the breaks style which he proceeds to do a damn good job of it. He brings back "I Can't Stop", which was one of his most iconic track for a brand new "I Still Can't Stop". It recharges the classic bass hit with the perfect crunchy yet sublte rebirth. Every single track on here is truly remarkable, all working together to form a cohesive project that is easily the most impressive piece of work to date for someone who continues to pave the path for bass music worldwide.

Zeds Dead – Hot Sauce EP [Mad Decent] [Review] [TSIS PREMIERE]
Posted in Bangin, Mixtapes / Albums by nick | Tags: BANGER, Bass Music, Breaks, Electro House, Glitch, glitch-hop, House, Jungle, Mad Decent, Tribal, Zeds Dead
Zeds Dead continue their strong and steady journey as musical artists and set 2013 off properly with the release of their "Hot Sauce EP". It is easily their most daring to project to date and Diplo's incredibly versatile Mad Decent record label couldn't be a more fitting home to release this genre-venturing project from the Canadian duo.
Starting off the ride is "Demons", acting as the perfect transition from the past Zeds Dead sound they are known for to the new foreign styles contained on the EP. It is an incredibly slow paced brutal banger filled with piercing spine rattling drops and retro horror samples. Next up "Mr. Sub" takes us down a refreshing techy jungle ride that is a complete 180' in overall mood. This song, which is named after the group's home country's sandwich chain, provides a great stepping-stone towards the rest of the EP. "Playa" is floor shaking, siren packed, rage filled inducing rave anthem that sounds unlike anything I have ever heard. Next up is the cleverly named "Rave", featuring a revamped breakbeats track giving a tribute to the music that filled the UK rave scene. It let's you get lost in the engulfing breaks while still carrying out the Zeds Dead flavor you crave. The closing track "Trouble" has the duo go back to the gritty slow paced glitch-hop sound they perfected on their past EP featuring Omar LinX, Victor. The song revolves around a simple infectious piano line and drumbeat that is a slow yet powerful way to end the bold release.
All in all, the EP takes some huge risks, defying most of what is getting released right now. These are the bold signs of true artists who are leading the way, and not following the trends. You can listen to the EP below, and purchase it through through Beatport and iTunes. Enjoy.

Hello everyone,
As many of you know... The Black Vault has been around for more than 16 years giving you the best of the best when it comes to government secrecy, conspiracies, etc.
Many years ago, we had a small, but very helpful "News Crew" that would submit news articles to the site, and for discussion. After the site was redesigned, it was halted.
Well, the news system is back and better than ever. But I need your help, and am looking for volunteers to maybe help out and submit news articles to The Black Vault.
It's easy. It's literally what many of you do on The Black Vault Message Forums by pasting in articles... however, this system will allow you to embed videos, photographs and have a lot more control. You can then come to the message forums, reference the article, quote from it, etc. and link over to the page.
Please let me know on here, or via email to firstname.lastname@example.com who might like to participate. It's not a job, and you won't be held to a number of articles "required" a day. It's simply for fun, and expanding our resource here at The Black Vault.

Navigate The Style Guy's Wisdom by Topic:
What to wear with swim trunks
I never know what to wear with my swim trunks, especially when I wander into a beachfront restaurant for lunch or drinks at sunset. A T-shirt? Sneakers? I don't want to look like a teenager, but I don't want to look like I'm trying too hard, either. What do you do?
I think cover-ups
are part of what separates us
from chimps in swimsuits.
Back in the '50s, men sported
"cabana sets," which are
basically bathing suits with
matching shirts. These can
still be had, vintage or new,
if you keep your eyes open.
It's a good look for the pool at
the Beverly Hills Hotel or the
Raleigh in Miami. My own sur
la plage kit usually involves
a sarong, a T-shirt or French
sailor shirt, and espadrilles. A
sarong is very useful because
it can also serve as a blanket
to sit on when it's not wrapped
around you. I prefer espadrilles
to flip-flops because I find that
they are easier to walk in. I wish
I had a bottle of Pol Roger for
every time I've nearly turned
my ankle and busted a flip-flop
on a sandy surface. Recently,
I saw some photos of stylish
bohemians on the Riviera in
the '20s and '30s, and I admired
their coordinated pajama-like
tops and long baggy pants. The
Surrealists and Fitzgerald's
"Lost Generation" had such
great beach looks, I'm thinking
of wearing a top this summer.
Jones Beach, out on Long
Island, may not be ready for
it, but there's always Cap

Technical necessities are: a Mac-computer with the program Eyechat, a broadband Internet-connection, webcam and microphone. Could you help me with this? I suppose this all is not ready available but my basic problem is finding a Mac-computer in New York. The rest can be arranged when I am in New York. To give you a bit of background about this request: I am working for a small peace NGO called Forum voor Vredesactie, but we are better known for the Bombspotting-actions we organize: www.bombspotting.be On www.indymedia.be you can also find reports on our last action on 16th April. If you like a reference you can mail han at indymedia.be The debate on 3rd May is on investments by banks in weapons, including nuclear weapons. It is part of a campaign together with several organisations which led already to a bank partly disinvesting: http://www.wagingpeace.org/menu/resources/sunflower/2005/04_sunflower.htm#4b This debate is the follow-up event in this campaign. I hope you can help us.

Most jiu-jitsu athletes have aweful takedowns, a strong breeze could put most of them straight to their back. Despite this reality, someone looking to bring a BJJer to the mat must proceed with a certain degree of caution. While it's true that you won't have to be too concerned with them hitting a switch or a granby they will try to snag a submission on the way down. Leaping guillotine chokes are a standby for guard players who find themselves standing across from strong wrestlers.
Enter the ankle pick a takedown where there is virtually no chance of a counter submission. Not only that, the transition from takedown to pass is extremely smooth. While the ankle pick shown here is being used without the gi, the move actually becomes more powerful once the attacker can grab the lapel.

Great article! I'm curious why do you think most BJJ guys have such bad takedown defence? Is it because they don't mind being on their backs or is it because takedown defence and takedowns are not practised enough?

The DF3/MUC1 mucin-like glycoprotein is highly overexpressed in human carcinomas. Recent studies have demonstrated that the cytoplasmic domain of MUC1 interacts with beta-catenin. Here we show that MUC1 associates with glycogen synthase kinase 3beta (GSK3beta). GSK3beta binds directly to an STDRSPYE site in MUC1 and phosphorylates the serine adjacent to proline. Phosphorylation of MUC1 by GSK3beta decreases binding of MUC1 to beta-catenin in vitro and in vivo. GSK3beta-mediated phosphorylation of MUC1 had no apparent effect on beta-catenin levels or the transcriptional coactivation function of beta-catenin. The results, however, demonstrate that MUC1 expression decreases binding of beta-catenin to the E-cadherin cell adhesion molecule. Negative regulation of the beta-catenin-MUC1 interaction by GSK3beta is associated with restoration of the complex between beta-catenin and E-cadherin. These findings indicate that GSK3beta decreases the interaction of MUC1 with beta-catenin and that overexpression of MUC1 in the absence of GSK3beta activity inhibits formation of the E-cadherin-beta-catenin complex.

The main goal is to improve access to timely and effective primary PCI in all the European countries, through implementation programmes tailored to each specific national healthcare organisation.
In this framework, a symposium will be held in Istanbul, during Acute Cardiac Care 2012, dealing with several important aspects of STEMI treatment.
The organisation of STEMI systems of care, based on networks among cardiological institutions of different technological level, is the cornerstone of the modern treatment of STEMI, and has the aim to offer an equitable access to the best standard of care to all the STEMI patients.
Over the years, a clear reduction in STEMI mortality has been shown in clinical registries in many countries. This goal has been achieved through the implementation of fast transportation to PCI-capable hospitals, the use of pre-hospital fibrinolysis and the integration of pharmaco-invasive strategies.
The Emergency Medical System of a big city should allow a faster and safer transportation from the STEMI place to the nearest PCI-capable hospital with a programme of 24 hours/7 days primary PCI. The resolution of the ST elevation in the ECG is a proxy not only of epicardial coronary artery reopening but also of normal blood flow at microvascular level. It should be carefully monitored, to have hints on the coronary situation of the patient, for risk stratification and to programme further actions in case of need.
STEMI can happen at any time of the day and of the night and the need of the fastest possible treatment causes many organisational problems to the primary PCI centres, which has to offer an experienced service on a 24 hours/7 days basis. The development of better organisation and improved standard of care made possible to have the same clinical results of the primary PCI treatment during both the "on" and the "off" hours of the day.
