ANSI-Approved Health IT Standard Announced
ANSI-Approved Health IT Standard Announced
M.L. Baker
Posted 2007-02-21
Electronic health records are advocated by the federal government and many health advocacy groups as a way to make sure that doctors have more complete information when caring for patients.
A health IT standards group released a new, more-comprehensive standard for electronic health records on Feb. 21. The standard, released by Health Level Seven, is the first that specifies functional requirements for electronic health-records systems to win approval from the American National Standards Institute, a key standard-setting body. Electronic health records are advocated by the federal government and many health advocacy groups as a way to make sure that doctors have more complete information when caring for patients. Besides cost, one large barrier to EHR use is that different EHR systems cannot work together to exchange information, a problem that could be greatly alleviated by industry-wide standards.
But health IT is plagued by competing standards, often developed by different sets of experts for different purposes. The problem is widely recognized. Earlier this month, HL7 and ASTM International, another standards organization, announced a merged standard for describing patients medical histories and demographics when discharged from a health institution. The move was heralded as an important advance in creating a nationwide health-information network.
The HL7 standard released Feb. 21 describes 1,000 conformance criteria across 130 functions, including medication history, problem lists, orders, clinical decision support, plus supports for privacy and security. "This new standard is a superset of functions that enables a standardized description and common understanding of functions, which is necessary when youre working across care settings," said Linda Fischetti, EHR Technical Committee co-chair.

A federally supported industry collaborative that certifies electronic health-records systems praised HL7, saying the two organizations provided a good example of collaboration in the health IT field. "The HL7 standard for EHR systems has been extremely valuable to us, providing the starting framework for CCHITs development of certification criteria," said Mark Leavitt, head of CCHIT (Certification Commission for Health Information Technology). The standard should also serve as the basis for additional functions of electronic health-records systems, such as the ability to serve as a legal record for business purposes. The standard is also designed to accommodate EHR systems aimed for special purposes, such as disaster preparedness, long-term care, behavioral health, children and clinical research.

'SNL' Recap: Lena Dunham Debuts 'Girls' Parody Follow-up (Video)
Liam Neeson made a surprise appearance in the cold open to scold Vladimir Putin for moving troops into Crimea: "I hate it when things are taken."
Lena Dunham brought nudity, Scandal and more Girls to Saturday Night Live.
The show's money shot came when the first-time host debuted Girl, a spiritual sequel to SNL's much-loved Girls parody from last year's season opener. In Girl, Dunham and Girls costar Adam Driver (Taran Killam) told the story of Adam and Eve -- Lena Dunham style.
PHOTOS: 'Saturday Night Live': 10 Stars You Forgot Were Castmembers
Dunam's Eve pestered Adam to define their relationship ("are we like, man and wife?") and became angry on feminist grounds when he reassured her that she was part of him ("Literally. God made you from my rib, kid."). Vanessa Bayer reprised her role as Shoshanna, playing the snake in the Garden of Eden story and convincing Eve to eat the infamous apple.
Eve's response when God scolded her for the sin?
"Can you please not apple shame me right now? Seriously, I know I committed original sin, but at least it's original."
SNL totally hit it out of the park with its cold open, where Liam Neeson made a surprise appearance as himself to help President Obama (Jay Pharoah) condemn Russian President Vladimir Putin for moving troops into Crimea.

"Recently, I got a very disturbing call. Crimea had been taken. I hate it when things are taken," Neeson said, before speaking into the camera to address Putin directly.
"Mr. Putin. Vladimir. I've never met you. I don't have experience in international diplomacy. But what I do have is a very particular set of skills. Skills that would make me a nightmare for someone like you," Neeson said, channeling his Taken character. "By which I mean I'm an actor. In Hollywood. With a lot of connections."
New castmember Sasheer Zamata had her biggest role on SNL yet, playing Kerry Washington's Scandal character Olivia Pope -- an interesting choice as Washington helped SNL mock the show's lack of diversity back in November.
In the sketch, Olivia assigned impossibly difficult tasks to her team -- who all were unfazed by the demands. That's except for the newest member (Dunham), who got hung up on the logistics and asked endless questions about how they were going to accomplish these impossible tasks.
Dunham's opening monologue got really awkward when castmembers -- emboldened by her racy HBO show -- kept wanting to tell her about their sex lives.
SNL also had plenty of fun with the Oscars, with Killam playing newly crowned best actor winner Matthew McConaughey. Wearing a white tux, McConaughey spoke in gibberish in the style of his much-talked-about Oscars speech: "Don't congratulate me. Congratulate the man I was a week ago. Congratulate the man I'm chasing. Congratulate the man who never existed."
Later, Pharoah starred in Pimpin' Pimpin' Pimpin With Katt Williams, where the 4/20 friendly comedian welcomed Liza Minnelli (Dunham) to ask " How did you not whoop Ellen's ass?" when the Oscars host joked she was a transvestite, and to tell Harrison Ford (Killam) the actor's earring really wasn't working for him: "Seeing Indiana Jones with an earring is like seeing Darth Vader in Uggs." The kicker? Noel Wells reprised her role as Dunham.
The episode also saw cameos from Fred Armisen (playing one of Putin's friends growing up) and Jon Hamm as the guest on a teen girls talk show.
SNL is taking a few weeks off, but returns March 29 with host Louis. C.K.
SNL airs at 11:30 p.m. ET/PT on NBC.

Lists by abcj-2
Enjoy, AB:)
Also, I'm aware many of these are embellished, but how good would these films be be without some creative license? Enjoy:)
They are in mostly random order with the ones I make a point to watch again nearer the top. I'll occasionally rotate a top favorite at the beginning. Enjoy:)
These are in reverse order by year. I'll usually keep a top favorite at the beginning of list.
PS Sunrise (1927) is the oldest movie and only silent film that I love. I tacked it onto the end of this list because I didn't want to make a list with only one silent film;)
1-130's or so I can hardly rank! These are all films I crave when I need to get a dose of happy:) 130's-216 are worth a watch or ones that are quite popular, but I don't rewatch them every time they are broadcast or pull them out of my collection to watch (some came with sets so I own them by default).
The remaining titles are pending films I've collected from other lists (thank you, fellow listers!) and have ordered them if they were a good deal or will watch when I can catch them on TV - usually on TCM which is my favorite channel:)
Happy listing:)

CINEMA 4D Essentials with Rob Garrott is a graduated introduction to this complex 3D modeling, rendering, and animation program, which breaks down into installments that can be completed within 2 hours. Start this installment with a look at Xpresso, a scripting tool that allows you to speed up your workflow by automating control of rigs, animations, and menu commands. This course also covers the basics of character rigging, from binding joints and geometry to adding movement with CMotion.
Have you ever been interested in learning scripting, but have been afraid of all that code? Do you like the pick whips in After Effects for linking layers and parameters? Well, if you answered yes to those questions, then you're going to love XPresso. XPresso is about establishing relationships between objects or parameters. To illustrate that, let's create a very simple relationship here. I'm going to add a cube to a scene and move it on its negative X axis, and let's add a pyramid to the scene. What I want to be able to do is to have this pyramid drive the rotation of this cube.
The first step in our process for creating the relationship with XPresso is to add an XPresso tag. Let's right-click on the pyramid and go to CINEMA 4D tags, and then XPresso. When I let go, I get an XPresso Editor that pops up here, and then I also have this little XPresso tag on my object. It's good form to put the XPresso tag on the objects that you're going to be controlling. In theory though, XPresso tags can exist just about any place in your scene. Now I'm going to bring the XPresso Editor down just a bit, and let's actually make the window smaller so we can see the whole thing and bring it down right here.
Now what I want to be able to do is drive the rotation of the cube with the rotation of the pyramid. Now what I need to do is to get my nodes for each of these objects here in the X group window. So let's take the pyramid and drag it over here and I get this little rounded rectangle, and let's drag the cube and drag it in. Now I get a rounded rectangle for that. Now these are called nodes. And if I expand the node outward a little bit, and I'll do that for each of them, the size doesn't really matter. It's just a question of being able to read the contents of the node.
Now you may have noticed that there is colors here in the XPresso Editor window and those colors are very important. The node system in XPresso is designed around the idea of inflows and outflows. On the left-hand side is blue, and those are inflows. On the right-hand side is red, and those are outflows. If I click on each of these colors you see I get properties, and these properties will change based on which side you click on, but also want type of object it is or node that you're using. This node, when I select it, has its own set of parameters, and for a basic object operator node, the only real parameter I can change is the reference.
This tells me what object in the system it's referencing. So I want to establish a link between the rotation of the pyramid and the rotation of the cube. So let's go to the Pyramid and do Coordinates > Global Rotation > Global Rotation-H. That's around the Y axis. Let's enlarge the node just a little bit. Now what we can do to establish our link is take the outflow from this Global Rotation-H and link it to the inflow of the Global Rotation-H on the cubes. So when I click on this little circle here, and that represents the outflow for that parameter, and let's drag it across the blue.
When I let go I get a list, and I can go down to Coordinates, and then go to Global Rotation > Global Rotation-H. So I've just linked Global Rotation to Global Rotation. Now you can link a lot of different things together, but there's always problems with the format of the information coming out. Rotation and rotation are expressed in the same way with degrees. If I were trying to link rotation to position that would be more problematic and I'd need to interpret that data with a node in the middle here. For now though, let's see what's happened. It looks like, visually, nothing's happened in the window.
So if we go to the Pyramid and go to the Coordinate properties, if I scrub the Rotation-H you'll see that both objects now turn, so the rotation on the pyramid is driving the rotation on the cube. And you can have more than one element linked together inside the node. What I can do is go to the Pyramid, and let's add in Global Position-Y. If I click on that and go to Coordinates and do Global Position-Y, I want to link this Global Position-Y to the Global Position-Y of the Cube. What I want to have happen is I'd like for the Cube to always remain 10 units above the Pyramid.
No matter where it is in space I never want it to be able to come down below the Pyramid. I'll start off by going to the Cube and adding in, under Coordinates, Global Position-Y. Now if I were to just simply drag across Global Position-Y to Global Position-Y, it's going to look like nothing happened. That's because the cube and the pyramid are already on the same Y level. But you'll notice though, if I select the cube, I can no longer drag it up. It's locked. I can move it on X and Z, but I can't move it on Y, Cmd+Z or Ctrl+Z. That's because the position Y is being controlled by this linkage here.
So what we want to do is to have this always be above the pyramid. So let's disable that, and we're going to introduce a new node in the middle here. Let's right-click in the XPresso window and go to New Node, and then XPresso, and then Calculate. All of these other menus that you see here are all about other elements that you can create within XPresso. You can create XPresso Hair nodes, MoGraph nodes, and Dynamics and Thinking Particles nodes. These are the general XPresso nodes, and I'm going to go to the Calculate function and add in a little bit of math.
Now don't be scared, I stink at math, but this is going to be really easy to understand. And this math node has its own set of properties over here in the Attribute Manager. Now let's give ourselves a little bit more room to work. I'm going to use the 2 key on the keyboard and drag out just a bit. You notice as I zoom in and zoom out that the XPresso window zooms in with me. If I hold on the 1 key I can pan around the XPresso window. Now you look at the parameters for this Math Add Node, you'll see that we have a data type. These will be real numbers, and we can do a different type of math function.
Add, Subtract, Multiply, Divide, and then something called Modulo. We're going to use a simple Math Add function, and these are the two values that we're going to add together: input one and input two. Input one is going to come from the Pyramid. We're going to take the Global Position-Y and drag that into this input field right here. When I make that connection it looks like nothing has happened. That's because this Math Add Node doesn't do anything until you send the output from it to another object. So what we want to do is to send the output from this Math Add Node into the Global Position-Y of the cube.
When we do this, nothing happens. That's because in the Math Add Node, all we're adding is zero. So let's add some values here. The original position of the Pyramid is currently Y on zero-axis. So if we add 100 to the position of the cube in the Math Add Node, if we go in here and type in 100, you'll see that the cube has jumped 100 units up. That doesn't seem exciting until you go and start moving the Pyramid around. No matter where I move the pyramid, it's always going to say 100 units higher than the location of this axis.
So if I make that say 300, then the cube will jump up here. And you can see as I move that around, no matter where I move it, it stays that way, and you can still move on X and Y, and you also still have the linkage for the rotation. Let's back out here just a bit so you can see everything going on. The Y position on the cube is still locked and I can't move it up and down, but I can still move it left and right on X and Z. So this is just literally touching the tip of the XPresso iceberg.
Just keep in mind that XPresso is a scripting language. It can be as complicated as you want to make it. If you're a programmer and you love writing code, the XPresso Editor is going to be your best friend. But if you're not comfortable writing code, then you can still do a lot of really interesting things with XPresso. Now, I'm not a code writer. So in this chapter I'm going to be focusing on things that I know non-code writers are going to find useful.

One-wheeled trailers are more agile and don't increase the width of your bike. They lean with the bike. If you're going to go really narrow places, you need one-wheel.
Two-wheeled trailers can generally carry more weight and are less prone to making the bike fall over when you stop.
So, what are you going to do with the trailer? Going up and down ...
Your best bet is to use mechanical advantage to your benefit. What you want to do is line the wrench up with the opposite crank, so that your hands are as close together as possible, now straddle the frame and force the two apart. Here's an image from Park's description of how to remove a pedal that illustrates it well:
The worst position for the wrench ...
Lengthening the wrench is your best bet. You don't need anything fancy, find a bit of pipe at your local hardware shop that fits over the wrench.
Watch your fingers. While trying to remove a tricky pedal, it gave suddenly and my knuckles hit the teeth of the chain ring. It was a daft and bloody mistake.
Advantages of a one wheel bike trailer
Easier to add suspension
Less wide (less likely to be hit by a motorist)
Advantages of a two wheel bike trailer
More stable at low speeds
Climbs better (since it does not need momentum to remain up right)
Probably has more cargo capacity
Easier to make
My main resources for pretty much anything include:
Sheldon Brown
In particular:
sheldonbrown: how-to-fixed-conversion
sheldonbrown: fixed-conversion
Loads of general wrenching info at
Park Tool
And of course a friendly local bike shop.
Look out for a bike co-op or skills-sharing non-profit/community organization. They may run classes and provide ...
I'm assuming this is your bike and you really mean that you've removed the fork from the bike as disassembling the fork isn't really something you do by mistake.
The specs I found say that you've got a threadless stem and sealed bearing headset. This is easy to reattach.
There are 3 or 4 bolts you need to be concerned with. One right at the top, that goes ...
I assuming you are going to put some washers on the inside of the bug so the bolt/net holds well.
I would expect silicone sealant under the washers (on the inside of the bug) and the clips combined with a rubber washers between the head of the bolts and clip and the inside washer and net would do the job.
End of bolt
Rubber Washer
Pannier clip
Silicone ...
Paint it with fluorescent paint and then illuminate with ultraviolet lights (and white LEDs serve this purpose fairly well).
There are also glow strips/panels sold mostly to (oddly) computer hackers who like to light up the inside of their computers. And probably a few other specialty markets.
Of course, you'd have to rig up some sort of power supply. ...
I use Q-tips and a degreaser (WD40 or similar will work). Spray on, wipe off. Soaking helps cut hard to remove grime.
Using car wax on your frame could certainly help protect it over time, though storing it indoors is much more important so that all of the components are protected from the weather.
There are bike specific products like Pedro's Bike Lust but if you don't want to go that direction you should be just fine with any auto wax. In the past I have heard of people ...
I just built a trailer based on the Wike DIY kit.
I decided to make it after seeing this great looking trailer.
I don't have experience with single wheel trailers. I am happy so far, but my experience has been very limited. The intent was to use it for local cargo runs - not long-hauling/touring
I'll report more here as the months go by
Here is a ...
Although it's mostly geared towards chopping up existing (steel) frames and converting the resultant bits into either recumbents, trikes, quads, electric bikes or choppers, there's a fair bit of generally useful info at the Atomic Zombie site and in their forums.
The same couple who run the Atomic Zombie site also have a couple of bike building books out:
There are two lenghts on a bike that are crucial for bike fit:
Seat tube length, which tells you how much of your seatpost will be outside the frame;
Effective top tube length, which is the horizontal distance between the centerlines of seat tube and head tube. This tells about your reach to the handlebars, how much the bike will feel "long" or "short" to ...
The internet. Bike magazines. Bike shops. Your friends.
Just as in any other industry there are good and bad brands. Good brands occasionally build awful bikes and vice versa. Read reviews, see the things in person, and test ride them.
It's very difficult to buy a frame without a shock. They don't have to be custom made as such, but rather custom tuned. ...
I think your best bet will be an appropriate diameter brass thread cleaning brush:
Amazon sells a few options, but a local hardware store will probably have more options.
This link doesn't have printable plans, but a small pic and a detailed description. Basically it's a connected set of slots that sit on the floor. I've seen slot-based racks at triathlons lately.
If you are willing to expand your materials to PVC, I have built 4 racks that are variations of this plan. I think this has three advantages over wood:
PVC is ...
My personal experience is go with the one-wheel trailer... you won't even know its behind you if you pack it balanced. My trailer is just like the first picture and while I was training for a 100+ mile ride - I loaded it down with gallon water jugs... and if I got really tired pulling it I just poured the water out(usually some on me - it gets really hot in ...
Another option is Ortlieb l bought Office pannier which l can recommend give it is waterproof, robust and the way it attaches to the rack works. This is what l use for my company laptop in a padded bag. If you are looking for something tougher try Office 2 bag I did not go for this one based on price and weight, that said it looks like it would offer more ...
I made a very rough drawing which already helped me to release a singlespeed cog, using three wrenches: one for the locknut, one chainlink-bar to lock the cog itself, and another bulky one BETWEEN both, in wich I applied the actual force. I had to hold everything very firmly in place, and wrapping things with rubber might be helpful to avoid getting hurt and ...
The biggest advantage of building your own bike is getting exactly what you want when you knew what you wanted from the git-go. Since you don't know what you want and admit to not really knowing what you're looking at, you're better off getting a built bike from a shop. Your first set of components are basically going to be an experiment. Those components ...
Your best bet for weatherproof and crash worthiness is going to be a pelican case. They have a whole series of cases for laptops.
I've personally taken a 'hardback' case on a paddling trip and it held up great. Many pelican products also have a warranty against failure as well so if the product ...
The most detailed account/details I've come across for building your own bike computer is here on PIClist.
Those pages contain detailed instructions for building a bike computer using a PIC microcontroller linked to a Hall Effect Sensor (it detects the magnet attached to a spoke as the wheel spins). In addition to the build details it also features a ...
So far most of what have been suggested are handtools... some planning and design tools are important as well.

First off, I've tried several tricks to remember which way to turn the wrench on which side, and he only rule that I can consistently remember is use the rule that rotating "forward" as if it was a wheel of the bicycle tightens the pedals and rotating "backward" loosens them.
If your pedals are standard size you should be using a 15mm pedal wrench. This ...

No, I want someone more like an actor that understands the basics of acting, like
projecting his voice
and emoting more professionally than Darla from the Little Rascals. I want someone who actually bothered to learn a Texas accent, which you'd expect to hear from someone born and raised
in Texas.
Did you miss the bits during season one where they explained that J.R. and John Ross had grown apart?
That would make John Ross
, not an incompetent pussy, which is the route Josh and the writers seem to have taken with him.
Ultimately though, this really just boils down to our respective interpretations of Henderson's acting and the way the character of John Ross is written by the show's writers. Who knows? All these issues you seem to be having might just be part of the writer's arc for the character. Certainly I think we should be giving the show some leeway for having to alter course and accommodate for Hagman's untimely passing, but I still think you're way off. Agree to disagree, I guess.
I wasn't the one that ran to one of the sons' defense, double-0. I was willing to let live ages ago.
Wow, lighten up, Francis. What part of "agree to disagree" did you not get?

WASHINGTON - We all get a little exhausted just before summer vacation. Proof of that in Washington is that President Barack Obama and House Republicans headed into the vacation period embracing the same tired theme: how bad Washington is. That's why President Obama traveled to Illinois and Missouri last week to deliver speeches on the economy. The point of the excursion, White House aide Dan Pfeiffer told reporters in an email, is that the president thinks "Washington has largely taken its eye off the ball when it comes to the economy." President Obama told volunteers that he will ...

The Daily Kirby
A look at what made Jack Kirby famous.
Marvel's First Most Prolific Cover Artist: SCHOMBURG
Marvel's Second Most Prolific Cover Artist: BRODSKY
Sunday, March 9, 2014
JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY #121's episode of Tales of Asgard was the only one in the series to open with two consecutive full-panel pages.
Not surprisingly it is the episode with the fewest panels - 12.
It was also the first episode that Kirby didn't design any new characters for.

"'Oochie Wally' has always been one of my favorite jams. Just the energy in the beat alone is ridiculous, so I couldn't resist flipping my own version of this amazing party anthem," he tells Billboard. "I've been waiting for the right moment, and with the success of 'I Don't Want Her,' I felt that made sense to put out another club banger. When I was in the studio working on it, I just knew that 2 Chainz would take it over the top."

4.5 Excellent Value-A must buy!! Abs1982 | 30/05/2009 | See all Abs1982's reviews (6) Received the photo frame yesterday and am so pleased with it.The phot's look so good on it and can't get over how good it looks for £17.99! Don't waste £50+ on any other digital photo frame, get one now!
4.5 Great buy chrismckee2k2 | 17/05/2009 | See all chrismckee2k2's reviews (1) Bought this item last week and cant believe how good it is for the price, was a little hesitant at first but now im glad i bought it!! well worth the money!!
4.5 Value for money ! Herbiefirby | 14/05/2009 | See all Herbiefirby's reviews (4) I bought this last week after reading a few reviews, i was hesitant at the first as it was only £17.99, but i was amazed at the quality for the price absolute brilliant, well worth it, i have just ordered another 1 as my sister was well impressed with it, great value for money.
4.5 Great Value Kestel | 11/05/2009 | See all Kestel's reviews (1) Easy to use just pop in an SD card with some photos on it and "hey presto"! The picture transition is interesting using a large variety of styles. The quality of the screen although not the best you would have to look very close to be able to tell. Buy one! You wont regret it.
4.5 Excellent VFM BullySnr | 09/05/2009 | See all BullySnr's reviews (1) I bought this as I hate paying over £20 for a photo frame. Wasn't expecting too much as the price was so low, but what a shock I got! Yes it is not a good as a £50+ photo frame, but if your only looking for something to display those pics this is far good enough and the quality for me is just fine. I would recommend this to all for a good VFM digital photo frame.
4.5 Kitvision 7" Digital Photo Frame spectrefloat | 08/05/2009 | See all spectrefloat's reviews (4) I'm into photography but Ive never got around to buying a digital photo frame until now.Firstly this comes with a power supply and also i thought you may be limited to its internal memory (8MB) as to how many images you can have displayed on the screen .Your not it will play as many as the media device e.g sd card, flash drive has on it (i used a usb flash drive).You can decide what speed to have your photo slide running at as well as brightness or whether to stretch your j.p.g images to fill the screen size or use the original size.I think its an absolute bargain for the price and the display is great too .It would make an excellent present for mum/dad or a friend with images either loaded on its internal memory or with a sd card inserted .Play delivered it quick too.
4.5 excelent value for money NanoTm | 30/04/2009 | See all NanoTm's reviews (2) i had been looking for a reasonably priced digital frame for a while when this came up for £17.99, i ordered it strait away and have been very impressed although it does have problems with certain image types or sizes when using memory cards, my camera has an annoying habit of creating 3 folders before storing images so until i strip 2 of those folders off the card it wont read the images but otherwise excellent performance.very happy with this item and am thinking about getting more for family/friends as gifts.
4.5 PERFECT for showing off your photos to friends and family! saxonsue | 20/04/2009 | See all saxonsue's reviews (1) I was lucky enough to buy one of these frames for the brilliant price of £17.99 when it was on offer but my sister was so impressed with mine she asked me to order one at £24.99 saying that it was worth every penny! She's right!I love the "rolling" mode as it changes from one picture to the next.....how do they do that?I was also amazed to discover that the frame had an internal memory of 8MB so you can store lots of your favourite photos on it and it's the perfect way to show off all your pics to friends and family.I must also add that I have had no problems at all with using my SD cards in the frame.....neither has my sister!Well worth buying.........I'm glad I treated myself to one!
4.5 Brilliant for the money! angjess | 11/04/2009 | See all angjess's reviews (1) When I bought this for £17.99 I was a bit dubious as to whether it would be any good. I was very impressed with it, well worth the money.
4.5 Good value, basic e-frame Zeberdy | 07/04/2009 | See all Zeberdy's reviews (1) I bought it on special offer at £17.99. At that it rates 4* + but is currently £24.99.Uses a Philips screen.Low resolution is what you (perfectly reasonably) get for your money. Picture quality is naturally nothing like as good as the expensive 7" screens, but I am very happy with the purchase (in fact wished I'd bought 2!)Operation controls very limited, but again adequate at price.I cannot get it to read my SD cards, although it is fine with Mem Stick & USB

Restriction of Advanced Glycation End Products Improves Insulin Resistance in Human Type 2 Diabetes
Potential role of AGER1 and SIRT1

- Corresponding author: Helen Vlassara, helen.vlassara{at}mssm.edu.
OBJECTIVE Increased oxidative stress (OS) and impaired anti-OS defenses are important in the development and persistence of insulin resistance (IR). Several anti-inflammatory and cell-protective mechanisms, including advanced glycation end product (AGE) receptor-1 (AGER1) and sirtuin (silent mating-type information regulation 2 homolog) 1 (SIRT1) are suppressed in diabetes. Because basal OS in type 2 diabetic patients is influenced by the consumption of AGEs, we examined whether AGE consumption also affects IR and whether AGER1 and SIRT1 are involved.
RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS The study randomly assigned 36 subjects, 18 type 2 diabetic patients (age 61 ± 4 years) and 18 healthy subjects (age 67 ± 1.4 years), to a standard diet (>20 AGE equivalents [Eq]/day) or an isocaloric AGE-restricted diet (<10 AGE Eq/day) for 4 months. Circulating metabolic and inflammatory markers were assessed. Expression and activities of AGER1 and SIRT1 were examined in patients' peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PMNC) and in AGE-stimulated, AGER1-transduced (AGER1+), or AGER1-silenced human monocyte-like THP-1 cells.
RESULTS Insulin and homeostasis model assessment, leptin, tumor necrosis factor-α and nuclear factor-κB p65 acetylation, serum AGEs, and 8-isoprostanes decreased in AGE-restricted type 2 diabetic patients, whereas PMNC AGER1 and SIRT1 mRNA, and protein levels normalized and adiponectin markedly increased. AGEs suppressed AGER1, SIRT-1, and NAD+ levels in THP-1 cells. These effects were inhibited in AGER1+ but were enhanced in AGER1-silenced cells.
CONCLUSIONS Food-derived pro-oxidant AGEs may contribute to IR in clinical type 2 diabetes and suppress protective mechanisms, AGER1 and SIRT1. AGE restriction may preserve native defenses and insulin sensitivity by maintaining lower basal OS.

Is it Best to Eat Before or After Exercise? Making Sense of Pre -Workout and Post-Workout Nutrition.Dear Fitness Nerd, When should I eat? Before or after I exercise? In particular, if I'm going to wake up and workout in the morning, do I eat breakfast before or after I workout? Jen — Detroit, MI Timing of meals, especially before or after exercise is one of those things that's part science, and part personal preference. Let's tackle the science first, and then deal with some of the personal things you need to consider. Understanding Pre-Workout and Post-Workout NutritionPre and post-workout nutrition is critical, because it allows the body to have the necessary energy to exercise effectively, as well as the right macro-nutrients and energy after exercise to help with recovery. As a rule of thumb, you want to try to fill your tank up both before and after working out. How much you need to eat and what you should eat before exercise will have a lot to do with:

It's almost springtime, and that can only mean one thing: plenty of businesses for sale by owner will be available in Colorado. Similar to the real estate market, businesses also seem to go on the block in early spring in anticipation of new buyers entering the market. This may also mean that franchisors will be actively pitching new franchise opportunities to brand new entrepreneurs. If this sounds like the time of year for you to enter the market, it may be worth considering an existing franchise instead of a new one.

Tissue factor encryption and decryption: facts and controversies.
Center for Biomedical Research, The University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler, Tyler, TX, USA.
Thrombosis Research (Impact Factor: 2.43). 03/2012; 129 Suppl 2:S13-7. DOI: 10.1016/j.thromres.2012.02.021 Source: PubMed

ABSTRACT: Highly elevated microparticle (MP)-associated tissue factor (TF) activity was found in patients with pancreatic cancer, one of the most prothrombotic malignancies. It remains to be elucidated whether MP-TF activity reflects the prothrombotic state in these patients. MP-TF activity levels and the TF-dependent and -independent effect of MPs on fibrin clot formation were determined in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer (n = 27) and in healthy individuals (n = 10). These parameters were also investigated in plasma samples from lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated blood (LPS-plasma), which is rich in monocyte-derived TF-bearing MPs. The median MP-TF activity was 1.06 pg/mL (range, from 0.19 to 10.34 pg/mL) in patients with pancreatic cancer, 0.61 pg/mL (range, from 0.36 to 0.79 pg/mL) in LPS-plasma, and 0.18 pg/mL (range, from 0.04 to 0.39 pg/mL) in healthy individuals. MPs derived from LPS-plasma had the strongest impact on fibrin clot formation time (median, 157.6 seconds; range, from 149.5 to 170.4 seconds). Fibrin clot formation occurred significantly later in MPs derived from patients with pancreatic cancer (median, 273.4 seconds; range, from 146.6 to 354.4 seconds; P < 0.001) and in healthy individuals (median, 299.0 seconds; range, from 261.1 to 417.9 seconds; P < 0.001). Only in MPs derived from LPS-plasma did the fibrin clot formation time depend strongly on TF (median prolongation after TF blockade: 68% in LPS-plasma, 10% in patients with pancreatic cancer, and 4% in healthy individuals). In conclusion, highly elevated MP-TF activity was found in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer, but TF-bearing MPs had a small effect on fibrin clot formation. TF-bearing MPs might not be the main mediators of the prothrombotic state associated with pancreatic cancer. However, the small but significant increase in coagulation potential by TF-bearing MPs might contribute to the multifactorial pathogenesis of venous thromboembolism in pancreatic cancer.Translational research : the journal of laboratory and clinical medicine. 08/2013; - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Tissue factor (TF) is a transmembrane glycoprotein and an essential component of the factor VIIa‐TF enzymatic complex that triggers activation of the coagulation cascade. Formation of TF‐FVIIa complexes on cell surfaces not only trigger the coagulation cascade but also transduce cell signaling via activation of protease‐activated receptors. Tissue factor is expressed constitutively on cell surfaces of a variety of extravascular cell types, including fibroblasts and pericytes in and surrounding blood vessel walls and epithelial cells, but is generally absent on cells that come into contact with blood directly. However, TF expression could be induced in some blood cells, such as monocytes and endothelial cells, following an injury or pathological stimuli. Tissue factor is essential for hemostasis, but aberrant expression of TF leads to thrombosis. Therefore, a proper regulation of TF activity is critical for the maintenance of hemostatic balance and health in general. TF‐FVIIa coagulant activity at the cell surface is influenced not only by TF protein expression levels but also independently by a variety of mechanisms, including alterations in membrane phospholipid composition and cholesterol content, thiol‐dependent modifications of TF allosteric disulfide bonds, and other post‐translational modifications of TF. In this article, we critically review the key literature on mechanisms by which TF coagulant activity is regulated at the cell surface in the absence of changes in TF protein levels with specific emphasis on recently published data and provide the authors' perspective on the subject.Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis 11/2012; 10(11). · 5.55 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Tissue factor (TF) encryption plays an important role in regulating TF coagulant activity. Potential differences in experimental cell model systems and strategies hampered our understanding of the TF encryption mechanisms. OBJECTIVE: To characterize procoagulant activity status of TF in different cell types, and to determine whether increased TF procoagulant activity following the activation stems from transformation of the cryptic TF to active form. METHODS: Simultaneous kinetic analyses of TF-FVIIa activation of FX and FVIIa binding to cell surface TF were performed under identical experimental conditions in fibroblast (WI-38), cancer cell (MDA-231), endothelial cell (HUVEC), and monocytic cell (THP-1) model systems. These data were then utilized to estimate TF coagulant specific activity and percentages of active and cryptic TF present in these cell types. RESULTS: MDA-231 and WI-38 cells express 10 to 100-times more TF on their cell surfaces compared to perturbed HUVEC and THP-1 cells. TF specific activity on cell surfaces of MDA-231, WI-38, and THP-1 cells was very similar. Nearly, 80-90% of the TF in MDA-231, WI-38, and THP-1 cells was cryptic. A plasma concentration of FVII would be sufficient to bind both active and cryptic TF on cell surfaces. Increased TF activity following cell activation stems from decryption of cryptic TF rather than increasing the coagulant activity of the active TF. CONCLUSIONS: Our data demonstrate that TF encryption is not limited to a specific cell type, and unlike previously thought, majority of the TF expressed in cancer cells is not constitutively procoagulant.

In a recent interview with OXM, Microsoft made the bold statement that they expect all next-gen systems to sell a total of one billion units, which is why they must focus so much on the non-game related functionally of the Xbox One.

Rangers playoff hopes take hit with loss
Radek Martinek and P.A. Parenteau both had a goal and assist during the Islanders' four-goal second period, and New York put the area-rival Rangers back into postseason peril with a 6-2 victory Thursday night.
After Blake Comeau got the Islanders even 1-1 at 3:24, Martinek put them in front 33 seconds later.
Things settled down for a bit, but the Islanders struck for two more goals 1:16 apart - the first by Jesse Joensuu at 13:28 and the second by Parenteau to turn it into a rout. Matt Moulson scored his 31st goal of the season against backup Chad Johnson with 11:22 left, and Trevor Gillies made it 6-1 at 14:00.
Even a one-goal deficit seemed daunting to the Rangers, who lost for the second time in two nights.
The Rangers were seemingly cruising for a playoff spot on the strength of an 8-1-1 spurt, but have dipped to eighth in the Eastern Conference and lead Carolina by three points with four games remaining. Carolina has five games to play in the final 10 days.
Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist shook off an injury to his leg sustained Wednesday at Buffalo to make his career-high 22nd straight start, but allowed four goals on 22 shots in two periods. He was replaced by Johnson to begin the third.
More troubling for the Rangers is the lack of offense. They have scored only five goals in five games, including two shutout losses and three 1-0 finishes. New York had scored 17 in its previous three games.
Vinny Prospal gave the Rangers a 1-0 lead in the first and Brandon Dubinsky scored in the final minute but that was all the playoff-hopefuls could muster against the also-ran Islanders, who lost 3-2 at New Jersey on Wednesday.
Al Montoya, who was drafted by the Rangers, stuck it to his former club by making 25 saves. It was a good bounce-back effort for Montoya, beaten 6-3 by the Rangers at Madison Square Garden on March 15.
The Rangers scored the goal they couldn't get during a 1-0 loss at Buffalo with 5:35 left in the first period on their fifth shot. Marian Gaborik's drive from Montoya's left bounced into the right circle to Prospal, who quickly fired a shot that found its way past Montoya about waist high inside the right post. Prospal's sixth snapped the Rangers' goal-less drought at 127 minutes, 46 seconds - dating to the first period of a 1-0 win at Boston last Saturday.
Gaborik was then involved in an uncharacteristic play when he struck Islanders forward Frans Nielsen with a shoulder hit to the back while Nielsen was facing the boards a few feet away. Nielsen went facefirst into the boards by the penalty and fell to the ice. Gaborik also went down and was then jumped by Martinek, who came to Nielsen's defense.
Nielsen was ruled out of the game because of a head injury, and Gaborik received four minutes in penalties.
The Islanders gave the Rangers plenty of chances to build a lead with a string of undisciplined penalties, including two that handed the Rangers a 5-on-3 advantage for over a minute in the first.
The Rangers were 0 for 6 on the power play in the first two periods and skated off after 40 minutes down 4-1 and outshot 22-16 in front of a large contingent of loud fans that tried to spur them on.
Rangers coach John Tortorella was angry with the performance of his club at Buffalo and couldn't have liked Thursday's game, either.
Comeau started the barrage for the Islanders, who were eliminated from postseason competition Saturday. Travis Hamonic's shot deflected off Josh Bailey to Comeau for a goal into the open left side.
Martinek then fired in a shot from the right circle, off a cross-zone pass from Parenteau, to make it 2-1. Martinek then ripped a drive from the right point that hit Joensuu and caromed past Lundqvist, and Parenteau swept in a loose puck to push the Islanders' lead to three goals.
Notes: Lundqvist had allowed only two goals in four games. ... D Dylan Reese had three assists. He entered with only one point this season. ... The Rangers were outshot 7-1 in the first 10 minutes. ... LW Wojtek Wolski was a healthy scratch for the second time since being acquired by the Rangers on Jan. 10. He hasn't scored in 14 games. ... Michael Grabner, tied with Moulson for the Islanders lead in goals, sat out for the second straight night awaiting the birth of his son. ... The Islanders lost four of six to the Rangers. ... Islanders D Ty Wishart was lost to a shoulder injury.

Spanish Banking Group Monitors Energy with CA Technologies
The Spanish banking group BBVA has implemented CA Technologies' ecoMeter in its Uptime Institute Tier IV data center to help improve data center capacity, maintain uptime and reduce energy use.
CA Technologies' ecoMeter is a key component of CA's data center infrastructure management (DCIM).
BBVA's 215,000-sq-ft data center in Madrid hosts a large part of the technology infrastructure that supports the banking group's European operations and manages 52 million daily transactions through 2,000 high range servers. It is one of six centers in the world to hold a double Tier IV certification from the Uptime Institute for both its Design Documents and Constructed Facility. This indicates very high levels of availability and positions the data center as one of the most advanced in the world.
Growing demand on technology and infrastructure hosted in BBVA's data center increases energy, cooling and space capacity requirements. By providing data on energy consumption, CA ecoMeter allows BBVA to take necessary measures to provide for availability and uptime and increase infrastructure efficiency.
CA Technologies implemented ecoMeter in six weeks. It now provides the data center with an integrated, real time view of data related to the use of energy and other environmental variables and has alarms to alert managers about anomalous levels of power demand.
Additionally, the CA Technologies software exchanges data with the imVision intelligent cabling software used by BBVA, and was uploaded with the equipment inventory, so that the organization can collect information on servers as well as the fiber and network devices that connect them. This consolidated view of the infrastructure helps BBVA increase efficiency and improve change management.
