National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey II: Mortality Study, 1992 (ICPSR 2631)
Principal Investigator(s): United States Department of Health and Human Services. National Center for Health Statistics
The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey II: Mortality Study, 1992 (NH2MS) followed a subset of the participants in the second National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES II). The NH2MS cohort is comprised of adult respondents to the NHANES II who were 30-75 years of age at the time of the NHANES II, and who were interviewed and examined for NHANES II. Some participants who were 74 years of age during their interview turned 75 years old between their interview and the examination. The NHANES series of data collections included standardized physical examinations, laboratory tests, and interviews that covered various health-related topics. The NH2MS was designed to investigate the association between factors measured at baseline and overall mortality or death from specific causes. The NH2MS involved searching national databases containing information about mortality and causes of death. The study was entirely passive: participants were not recontacted, nor were all death certificates obtained. Instead, mortality status was ascertained solely by computerized matching to national databases and evaluation of the resulting matches. Furthermore, no recontact is planned in the future. Rather, matching to the National Death Index (NDI) and to other national databases will continue on a periodic basis. The Mortality Status file (Part 1) contains mortality status and demographic data for all NH2MS participants who were 30-75 years of age at their NHANES II examination. The Cause of Death file (Part 2) contains one record for each known decedent for whom multiple causes of death were obtained (2,103 out of the 2,145 participants identified as deceased). Cause of death is missing for some decedents either because there was no matching record on the NCHS Multiple Cause of Death files or the death certificate was not found through the state vital statistics office.

Scope of Study
Subject Terms: causes of death, death records, disease, medical evaluation, mortality rates, older adults, social indicators, vital statistics
Geographic Coverage: United States
Time Period:
- 1992
Date of Collection:
- 1976--1992
Universe: The civilian, noninstitutionalized population of the United States aged 6-74.
Data Types: administrative records data
Data Collection Notes:
(1) The NH2MS mortality data can be linked with the earlier baseline NHANES II data to examine the relationship between various factors and specific cause of death. One important ramification of the NH2MS design is that persons not found to be deceased are assumed to be alive for analytic purposes. As a result, there is a potential for misclassification of vital status. Researchers using the NH2MS data should be aware of this study limitation. (2) During this first wave of the study, mortality status was ascertained for the years 1976-1992. Two participants were unable to be followed because of incomplete personal identifying data and are considered lost to follow-up. The 9,250 cohort members were traced in the NH2MS by searching national databases containing mortality and cause-of-death information. The length of follow-up period ranges from 12-16 years. Approximately 23 percent (n = 2,145) of the NH2MS cohort were found to be deceased as of December 31, 1992. (3) Per agreement with NCHS, ICPSR distributes the data files and text of the technical documentation for this collection as prepared by NCHS.
Sample: Participants in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey II who were 30-75 years of age and who were examined as part of the NHANES II.
Data Source:
National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey II, National Center for Health Statistics. Multiple Cause of Death files, National Death Index, Social Security Administration Death Master File, and state vital statistics death certificates

Have Love & Mercy
There's a movie hitting the theaters on June 5 that's sort of flying under the radar, dwarfed by some of the blockbusters that will open the summer season. Love & Mercy is the story of Brian Wilson, one of the driving forces of the Beach Boys. They've got two actors playing the same guy - John Cusack and Paul Dano. Watch the trailer, and then watch the interview Variety magazine posted last fall with the actors in the movie. And make an appointment for early June - this one looks pretty good.

Drop & Give Them Twenty!
Jon Stewart posted a video of himself doing 20 pushups recently? Why? To raise awareness about America's veterans by dropping and giving them twenty, and posting it to social media and GiveThem20.org. It doesn't cost you anything - just a few minutes of your time, and calling out two friends to do the same. Jon called out John Oliver and the New York Mets - which I'm pretty sure represents more than one person, but hey, he's Jon Stewart, and he can do what he likes. (function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.3"; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk')); Jon accepts the #GiveThem20 challenge with 20 push-ups for veterans and calls out John Oliver and the New York Mets. ► Visit givethem20.org and American Corporate Partners (ACP) to join him and thank returning veterans.

The Best Graduation Video This Year
Imagine you're graduating from high school. You're on stage, waiting to hear your name. You're waiting, and waiting, and you're really up there all by yourself. You think they've forgotten your name.

Jonny Quest Going Live?
In the 1960s, the folks at Hanna-Barbera produced an animated series called Jonny Quest about the adventures of a boy scientist. It featured Jonny and his dog Bandit, his friend Hadji, his dad and their all-around tough guy, Race Bannon. It only lasted a couple of seasons, but it spawned a few attempts at being remade. And now, Robert Rodriguez (of Sin City fame, among others) is teaming up with a screenwriter from Pirates of the Caribbean to come up with a live action movie. If this were 30 years ago, Johnny Depp would make the perfect Jonny Quest... That doesn't mean he won't be playing it now, of course.

Doctor Bon Jovi, I Presume?
"I sat down and wrote you a song." That's the gift Jon Bon Jovi gave to graduates at the Camden campus of Rutgers University. The university conferred the honorary degree of Doctor of Letters, and as part of his subsequent commencement address, he picked up his guitar. The song, called "Reunion," urged graduates "to go start your own revolution, and I'll see you at the reunion." It was the first time it was ever performed in front of an audience. I can see it getting played a lot more, can't you?

Carpool Karoake with Justin Bieber, and It's Not a Carwreck
When you've got a late night talk show these days, you've got to develop signature bits. Cuz it's a tough market out there. James Corden's signature bit (so far, anyway) on The Late Late Show is Carpool Karaoke, where he picks up a guest and drives him or her to the show. Along the way, they have silly conversations, sing songs, stop passersby, eat fast food, and more. And they generate some laughs along the way. Check out his latest, with Justin Bieber.

Say It Ain't So, Mary-Kate and Ashley
Well, gang, it's official. The Olsen twins - Mary-Kate and Ashley - will not be joining the Full House sequel called Fuller House on Netflix. John Stamos, who will make guest appearances on the show as well as produce it, said he was heartbroken on Twitter, and then posted this. I understand they're in a different place and I wish them the best. I promise you will not be dissapointed with our reunion and spin off!! — John Stamos (@JohnStamos) May 23, 2015 They say it's so they can concentrate on their fashion line and other busines ventures. Personally, I think it's becaue they stopped looking like twins about 15 years ago. (By the way, John, you got "disappointed" wrong. But you are heartbroken, so I guess it's understandable.)

Game of Thrones: The Musical
On Thursday's Red Nose Day USA special on NBC, Chris Martin and Cold Play put together a 12-minute documentary video about their efforts to get their newest work, "Game of Thrones: The Musical," onto a Broadway stage. Okay, it's a spoof, but so well done. Plus, they had the help of a quite a few cast members from Game of Thrones, including Mark Addy (Robert Barateheon), Emilia Clarke (Daenerys Targaryen), Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister) and Kit Harington (Jon Snow). The narration by Liam Neeson really helps sell it. And Jon Snow singing "Wildling" to Ygritte (Rose Leslie) could well be the best part of it. Check it out.

The Old "Hidden Ball" Trick
It's the bottom of the ninth. You're down by one run. You've got two outs, and a pinch runner at second. The pitcher whirls around and tries to pick off the runner. The throw goes wild into the outfield. Your runner takes off for third. But wait. The pitcher is chasing your runner down. The pitcher had the ball in his glove the whole time. Tag. Your runner is out. Game over. Pretty exciting end for one team - pretty devastating for the other. What makes it even more interesting: it happened at a high school playoff game in Colorado. Check out the video...

Prehistoric Funk
I just stumbled on this video from a few months ago, but it's perfect for some holiday fun. One of the hottest songs of the year so far has been Mark Ronson's "Uptown Funk." Turns out the beat and music are very similar to "Walk The Dinosaur," a song by a group called Was (Was Not) in 1987. Pretty amazing how close these two are. I wonder if Robin Thicke had anything to do with "Uptown Funk?"

"Nobody Sees It, Didn't Happen"
Trailer # 2 has been released for Black Mass, the story of Boston's most notorious wanted man, Whitey Bulger, starring Johnny Depp. Johnny's unrecognizable in this one - as he is in most of his films.

Second, and only in one of the shots in the sunglasses, James Spader's character in The Blacklist. What do you think?

Dick's Still Got It
Dick Van Dyke's a song-and-dance man at heart. Sure, he's an actor and comic too, but deep down inside, he's a song-and-dance man. So it's not surprising to see him moving quite well - especially given that he's 89 years old - in this video for Dustbowl Revival's song, "Never Had to Go." He's still got his comic chops too.

Thank You for Your Service
It's Memorial Day, a time to remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service of our country. We should all the take the time to stop and say thank you to those who've gone before us. And let's not forget to say thanks to those that are still here. This amazing video is from a year ago, but it remains poignant. Runners in San Jose, California were participating in a charity race benefitting the military. A 95-year-old veteran named Joe Bell set up a chair in front of his home, and sat in his old uniform tunic and cap to watch the racers pass. And before long, the race was all about Joe, as the runners came up to him and shook his hand to thank him for his service. Touching. (function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.3"; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk')); The sight of a 95-year-old veteran cheering on runners in a military charity race in San Jose triggered a spontaneous show of patriotism that captured the nation's attention.Joe Bell was waving at the runners when suddenly he became the one being honored. One by one, participants ran over to Bell, shaking his hand and thanking him for his service.The race benefited the Pat Tillman Foundation, set up in honor of the fallen Army Ranger and San Jose native.Watch KTLA's video here: http://ktlane.ws/1kwcgo9 Posted by KTLA 5 News on Tuesday, March 4, 2014

Dave Grohl - The 5th Beatle
Music fans in London got a treat on Saturday night. Paul McCartney was in concert. Like that's not enough. But, he invited Dave Grohl from the Foo Fighters on stage with him to assist with a Beatles classic, "I Saw Her Standing There." Couple of observations... (1) Paul's voice is holding out pretty well for a guy about to turn 74. (2) Dave and Paul together is a very cool collaboration. And I would love to see more of them!

"Can You Smell What the Rock is Officiating?"
So, Nick Mundy from Screen Junkies is a huge fan of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Over the years, they've developed an actual friendship. Enough so that the rest of the crew at Screen Junkies was able to get The Rock to help out when they wanted to pull a prank on Nick. Well, not really a prank. It was a surprise wedding. Not only did The Rock agree, he decided he wanted to be the wedding officiant, so he went and got ordained and registered with the state of California. Check out the footage - it's actually pretty cool.

Flaky Growths (Lichens) on Trees and Shrubs
Melinda's Blog is brought to you by American Transmission Company. Don't panic when you find flaky gray, green, white or yellow substances, known as lichens, on the trunk or branches of your trees and shrubs. These growths do not damage the plant, but may indicate your tree and shrub needs a bit of TLC. Lichens are composed of a fungus and green or blue-green algae. The algae provides the photosynthesis to produce food, while the fungus supplies water and minerals and protects the algae. This mutually beneficial relationship allows them to withstand harsh environmental conditions. Although the lichens usually do not harm the plant they reside upon, they are most common in declining trees and shrubs where branches have died, allowing the sunlight to reach the lichens. Reduce the problem by providing plants with proper care. Expand the mulch beds around trees and shrubs. Remove dead and damaged branches and water plants thoroughly when needed. A bit more information: Further increase the health of your trees and shrubs by expanding the mulch beds. This will make maintenance easier for you and improve the growing conditions for the plants. Use organic mulches like woodchips and shredded bark that conserve moisture, suppress weeds, reduce competition from grass and improve the soil as they decompose.

Managing and Enjoying Reseeding Perennials
Melinda's Blog is brought to you by American Transmission Company. More is often considered better, except when it comes to unwanted seedlings. Self seeding perennials mean lots of free plants to move to other gardens in the landscape, but sometimes it just means more unwanted plants to control. Purple coneflower and Black-eyed Susan are two popular perennials that can quickly fill your garden with their offspring. You can reduce the problem by removing faded flowers and thus eliminating the seeds. The downside, the birds will miss eating the seeds and you'll miss the winter beauty and bird activity the seeds provide. I choose to leave the seedheads intact, enjoy the birds and share the seedlings with friends, community organizations or my compost pile. Garden phlox is another prolific seeder. Deadheading – removing the faded flowers - reduces reseeding, but also encourages additional bloom. A bit more information: Plume poppy, Northern sea oats, columbine and blackberry lily are other perennials that tend to self seed. Share your extra seedlings with friends. Keep a few old pots or plastic bags and a trowel on hand. When your gardening friends come to visit, hand them a trowel and container and let them dig a few of their favorites. You'll have fewer seedlings and they'll have more plants for their garden. For more gardening tips, how-to videos, podcasts and more, visit www.melindamyers.com

Who's Got the Dramamine?
The folks at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, California have a new roller coaster that could be perfect for you - if you're a daredevil. It's called Twisted Colossus, and as advertised, it does things that other coasters don't. Or can't. Or both. It's a hybrid steel-and-wood double-track coaster, and the folks at Theme Park Review call it "insane." That's the ride itself, not the riders - although that may also be accurate. Check out this amazingly scary video. And let me know - would you ride in the front seat? Would you ride it at all?

Letterman's Very Last Top 10 List
When you think of David Letterman, one of the first three things to come to mind has to be his nightly Top 10 lists. And what better topic for his last Top 10 than the Top 10 Things I've Always Wanted to Say to David Letterman. And who better to pronounce these than good friends to Dave and his program, like Bill Murray, Tina Fey, Peyton Manning, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Chris Rock, Jim Carrey, Jerry Seinfeld, Steve Martin, Barbara Walters and Alec Baldwin. What a way to wrap up this tradition.

What the Other Late Night Talk Hosts Did
Did you wonder what the other late night talk hosts did to mark David Letterman's retirement? Earlier this week, we posted Jimmy Kimmel's tribute. That was very special. On the night of Dave's last show, Conan O'Brien did his regular show for 35 minutes, and when the clock hit 11:35PM, he and his guest, Patton Oswalt, urged people to go and watch Dave's show. Pretty cool - and watch what they did afterwards! James Corden, the new host of The Late Late Show that until Wednesday followed Dave, sang a special tribute song to Dave with the help of a heavily-bearded Sting. Also pretty cool...

JWoww Delivers a Smackdown
Jenni Farley - aka JWoww from Jersey Shore - took to Instagram to talk about pictures of herself in a bikini. Someone snapped and published a bunch of pictures of her at a pool in a bathing suit. She was with her daughter and her fiance. People being what they are - sometimes pretty stupid and rude - they made comments about JWoww's body, calling her flabby and referring to her "cellulite-ridden caboose." Others would have curled up in a corner and cried a while But this is JWoww, after all, one of the toughest young ladies on the Eastern seaboard. Check out what she has to say... And tell me if you feel like standing up and cheering... I want to sit here and say that I'm embarrassed by these pictures but honestly I'm not. I'm a new mom that loves to work out but also loves food as well. I was at my girlfriend @joeidfox wedding at an all-inclusive resort and decided to indulge and have the best time of my life with my daughter at a pool. I also decided to pick a wedgy (which is a pretty amazing photo in itself). But at the end of the day I am not perfect and neither is my body... And to make it worse someone decided to sell even more awkward photos of me on vacation with my family So tabloids can get a nice laugh and write mean things... I will always try to eat healthy and take @310nutrition supplements and consistently work out But I'm also a human and I love being me and I love my life I will never try to follow the trend of being stick thin I follow the trend of what I love in life... And what I love is me Everyone love yourself and consider yourself #flawless ✌🏼💜💗 A photo posted by Jenni JWOWW (@jwoww) on May 19, 2015 at 3:45pm PDT

The Rock Melts
This happened earlier in the week, but it's pretty uplifting and worthy of sharing. Dwayne Johnson - aka The Rock - posted a picture to Instagram. It shows him reading a letter, grinning like a child at Christmas. Turns out the letter is from Steven Spielberg - yes, that Steven Spielberg - who wrote to say that he is a fan of Dwayne's work. Dwayne was moved, because growing up, he'd been a huge fan of Steven's. Look at the picture. And read what he said. So cool! Grinnin' now like a big ass kid... When I was 8yrs old I sat front row to see a sold out INDIANA JONES in its opening weekend in Charlotte, North Carolina. I walked out of that theater excited and wanted to be "Indy".. cool, funny, charming with the ladies and kickin' ass w/ a smile. But at 8yrs old I was also perfectly content playing w/ my Star Wars figures and sneaking off listening to Richard Pryor concerts. Throughout the years I've credited this man and his movies as being my greatest inspiration in becoming an actor and wanting to always make "his kind" of movies - entertaining, quality and above all else.. heart. Just receiving this personal letter from him and its not only made me incredibly humbled and grateful, but it's also brought me back to being that 8yr old boy again who not only loves movies, but I now get to make the movies I love and enjoy the impact they have on others. THANK YOU STEVEN SPIELBERG for these inspiring and motivating words in your letter and cheers to making sure I'm always listening to that little voice in my gut. #CoolestGiftEver #BigAss8yrOldKid #SpielbergInspired A photo posted by therock (@therock) on May 15, 2015 at 9:34pm PDT

Power Adapter QuestionsHey guys, 2 quick questions. What happened was the power adapter for my TVpad (Asian version of Roku), stopped working. So I need a replacement power adapter.
1. The original power adapter outputs 5V and 2A. My question is, can I use almost any power adapter as long as it outputs exactly 5V, and at least 2A? Do I need to worry about the power connection being able to connect to my TVpad, or are these things standardized?
2. Where can I find a good power adapter and what's a good price to pay? The cheapest I can find at Amazon is around $9
1. Yes, anything that can put out 5V and at least 2A and has the same style output connector and pinout for that connector will do. Unfortunately ratings can be exaggerated for power adapters that aren't safety certified by UL or CSA, and many uncertified adapters say they're UL or CSA certified but aren't (fakes rarely have registration numbers accompanying those logos).
2. Radio Shack, Jameco Electronics, and MCM Electronics are some of the few sources that sell mostly UL or CSA certified power adapters, but they don't specify device compatibility, only the voltage, current, plug style, size, and pinout. Because you need an adapter that puts out only one voltage and uses a round plug, something suitable should be easy to find. Amazon, Ebay, and most Internet dealers sell uncertified stuff.
What type of connector is it? If it a barrel connector the other thing to watch out for is polarization of the plug. (IE where plus and negative are). The other thing is will this box output in NTSC for US TV's?
Vague questions receive vague answers . . . . . .
most of the time when someone tries to act like they are all that and then some, a simple background check will show what they are hiding and if you throw that in their face it will shut them up real fast cause their deep dark secret is out of the bag and you know it! O.O
PSP charger 5V 2A
ebay.com/itm/330737529051 new but not made by sony.
this used one maybe better quality ebay.com/itm/111010471745
by the way, how do you make sure the problem is power adapter?

Here's a picture of the power adapter:
I am really tempted to get this because it's cheap and I just have this feeling if it works for a roku, it would work for my tvpad:
I don't know exactly how to check polarity. And I want to say it does output NTSC, since we are watching this in the US.
Also, I found out it was the power adapter because I actually have 2 tvpads. When the first one "died," I searched online and someone said it could be a power adapter problem. So I tried swapping power adapters and the bad one won't power up either tvpad.
A real UL listing will have a number in the form Exxxxxxx under the "UL" or "RU" symbol, like E168210 (that's Asian Power Devices, which produces lots of plug-in AC adapters.
Couldn't you find any UL/CSA power supplies at Radio Shack, Jameco, or MCM?
I say the FCC approval is fake because the non-UL, non-CSA power supplies I've seen had no line filter and would induce noise into some computer sound systems. Noise filters also provide some surge protection.
Usually the outer barrel is negative polarity, or ground, while the center contact is positive, but you can't always assume that and must measure with a meter (ohms meter may let you do this with the power turned off and any battery removed). If there's a round NTSC video connector, its outer metal shell witll be at ground, so try measuring ohms between it and the outer connection of the powr adapter. Zero ohms between them, regardless of how the meter leads are connected, is a good sign that the outer power connection is ground. The power adapter in your picture definitely has the ground on the outside and the positive terminal in the middle, as indicated by that diagram just above the "MADE IN CHINA" writing.

wrong logic.
it's not the exact clone of Roku. you can't think that way.
if you read the specifications closely, and do the math, or a little observation.
you will find the Roku one you posted is 7mm Diameter, and the picture of tvpad you posted doesn't look like 7mm at all, more like 3.5mm.
i bet 10 bucks the PSP charger will work. (1000 and 2000 has 2A, newer 3000 only 1.5A)
or this one ebay.com/itm/400374771104
The label on the adapter shows the polarity using this type of marking: https://en.wikipedia.or
As far as plug dimensions, you have to compare to plugs of known dimensions and/or use calipers. I wouldn't make a habit of taking a power supply you think is bad and testing it on a device you know is good, you could damage the device. It's better to test the power adapter independently.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
Reader Stories
GERD is a common condition caused by the regurgitation (reflux) or backwash of stomach acid into the esophagus from the stomach. At times, the acid even may regurgitate into the back of the throat and reach the lungs. GERD
The presence of acid in the esophagus or the passage of acid into the lungs (aspiration) may cause the bronchial tubes to constrict (bronchospasm), causing wheezing and coughing that may not respond to medications for asthma. Bronchospasm related to acid reflux tends to occur more frequently at night as a result of lying down. GERD is common among patients with asthma. Some doctors believe that asthma itself or asthma treatments in some way make asthma patients more susceptible to acid reflux. For example, theophylline, an oral medication occasionally used to treat asthma, may promote acid reflux by relaxing the specialized muscles in the esophagus that normally tighten to prevent regurgitation of acid.
In patients with nocturnal or difficult-to-control asthma, treating acid reflux may help relieve coughing and wheezing. Treatment of GERD involves elevating the head of the bed, losing weight, avoiding spicy food, caffeine, alcohol, chocolate and cigarettes. Proton-pump inhibitors such as omeprazole (Prilosec), pantoprazole (Protonix), rabeprazole (Aciphex), lansoprazole (Prevacid), and esomeprazole (Nexium) are potent inhibitors of production of acid in the stomach and are effective treatments for asthma aggravated or caused by acid reflux. Rarely, surgery is performed to prevent acid reflux for severe cases of GERD that do not respond to medications.

Daisy Lowe rocked a corseted party dress from the LV Fall 2010 collection, which looked delightful on her. One question: what is going on with that hair?
Claire Forlani looked lovely in a beyond fem ivory dress.
Gemma Arterton modeled one of the more minimalist looks from the Fall 2010 collection, a retro feeling mauve dress, which featured a swing skirt.
Pixie Geldof definitely put her own spin on this refined 1950's style LV Fall 2010 dress, adding studded Hermes cuffs, dangling necklaces and bright red lipstick.
Alexa Chung paired a sequined top with a wool, swing skirt, both from the Fall 2010 collection.
We can't decide how we feel about Gwyneth's slicked back hairdo, but her makeup looked flawless.
Gwyneth Paltrow showed her sexy side, wearing this daringly low-cut wool dress, which featured a revealing keyhole front. Paired with LV bowed heels, she was one haute mama!
Kirsten hasn't looked this good in a long time! Fresh faced and flawless, the actress was a breath of fresh air.
Thandie Newton added a blast of bright color to the carpet in a tangerine mini, which featured embellished sides.
This didn't really seem like the right place to wear one of the nightmare-worth Alexander McQueen Fall 2010 dresses, but Alice Dellal didn't seem to care. Pairing the psychedelic mini with fishnet thigh-highs held up by a garter belt, she seemed out of place at the sophisticated fete.

Sira Des Indes by Jean Patou has become my signature scent. It is a very unique frag. I bought it based on other reviews, because it features the champaca flower at its heart. I had just smelled the real thing in a local nursery. This frag duplicates it very authentically to my nose. Lovely floral with good sillage.

Interesting oriental, very animalic basenotes, at least to my nose. This is the only Patou fragrance I like. It has a deep spicy vibe that comes out in the drydown and is very lovely. Too strong for work in my opinion. Great for romantic date or night on the town.

Feed by M.T. Anderson
"I don't know when they first had feeds. Like maybe, fifty or a hundred years ago. Before that, they had to use their hands and their eyes. Computers were all outside the body. They carried them around outside of them, in their hands, like if you carried your lungs in a briefcase and opened it to breathe." Feed. M.T. Anderson
Feed is the kind of book that stays with you. It's the kind of story that serves as a benchmark- a post by which you measure other events in your life, stories that you hear, things you read on the internet. It's a book that's hard to shake. It's disturbing and cynical and kind of hilarious the way a fever dream can be all of those things.
Feed is the story of Titus, a teenage boy who lives in a hyper-connected future Earth where everyone has an information feed hard-wired in their brains. Titus and his friends are constantly inundated with information through the Feednet. They can chat with each other or watch t.v. shows like, "Oh? Thing! Wow!" But mostly they are subject to a constant barrage of consumer information. The Feed is an integration of technology and biology that started out as a great technological innovation, but ended up creating a population of distracted, ill-informed, inarticulate consumers. The planet is dying or dead, everyone is sick and none of Titus's friends are too worried about it.
The story begins on the Moon, where Titus and his friends have gone for spring break, despite it's horrible lameness. When a protester hijacks their feeds, they are taken offline and sent to recuperate in a hospital. That's when Titus falls for Violet, a beautiful, smart girl who chooses to fight the feed.
Feed was written 11 years ago. It's a little scary how close to the bone M.T Anderson cuts in this book, considering it was written before most people were familiar with social media. Reading Feed, it's hard to believe it was written before Facebook and Twitter.
An excellent review of this book by Tony McMillan of DigBoston (linked below) says, "...ultimately the thrust of this novel is not how thoroughly communication technology and its marriage with consumer culture rots our intelligence, it's how deeply it rots our compassion." I think it's also about how this marriage eats away at what makes us human; our ability to be present, to connect with other people, to reason. All of this connection tends to make us disconnect from where we are and what is happening to us right now. Feed is what happens when we aren't paying attention.
Feed is available in the "New" section in the teen room. The call number is YA F AND.
Tony McMillan's exceptional review of M.T Anderson's Feed can be found here.
