VIRGINIA BEACH -- For 6 years, taking Pungo Ferry Road to Blackwater Road in Creeds has been part of Allen Liem's early morning commute. Wednesday, to start, was no different, but by the time Liem hit the intersection, he'd be in trouble.
'He, actually, got me out of the car. He grabbed me and broke buttons off of my shirt, and as he was pulling me out of the car,' recalled Liem, 'I could feel his hand in my back pocket.'
Liem told 13News the attacker grabbed his wallet. In the process of being pulled from his van, Liem either hit his head on the door frame or the robber hit him with a stick. The end result was a mild concussion that left Liem with headaches throughout the day.
'I was scared to death. I was scared to death. I've never, that's the reason, one of the reasons we moved out here is 'cause it's so calm, peaceful,' said Liem. 'I was not prepared for something like that, and it just, literally, scared the bejeezus out of me.'
Liem explained he pushed at the attacker to get away from him. The robber dropped Liem's wallet, which had no money in it, before running into the woods.
Virginia Beach police officers brought dogs to the scene in an effort to find the attacker, but they turned up no one.
'I'm just wondering if he wasn't intoxicated and looking for his next bottle, or his next meal, or whatever may be, but Ihope the guy's okay,' Liem shared. 'I'm fine. It caused me a little anguish, but I'm doing fine.'
Liem said the attacker dressed in black with a hoodie helping to cover his face. Liem described him as at least 6 feet tall, weighing about 200 pounds.
Anybody with information is asked to call the Virginia Beach Crime Solvers at 1-888-LOCK-U-UP.

For decades we have been taught that fat is bad for us, carbohydrates better, and that the key to a healthy weight is eating less and exercising more. Yet despite this advice, we have seen unprecedented epidemics of obesity and diabetes. Taubes argues that the problem lies in refined carbohydrates, like white flour, easily digested starches, and sugars, and that the key to good health is the kind of calories we take in, not the number. In this groundbreaking book, award-winning science writer Gary Taubes shows us that almost everything we believe about the nature of a healthy diet is wrong.
©2007, 2008 Gary Taubes (P)2011 Blackstone Audio, Inc.
"Easily the most important book on diet and health to be published in the past one hundred years. It is clear, fast-paced, and exciting to read, rigorous, authoritative, and a beacon of hope for all those who struggle with problems of weight regulation and general health." (Richard Rhodes, Pulitzer Prize–winning author)
"Science, science, and more (fascinating) science."
There are two versions, one written with all the science (this one) and one written with just the principles laid out. I was afraid this longer version might be dry, but he draws all the scientific studies before in a masterful explanation. I was looking forward to the conclusions but sorry when it was over.
"Bold Explanation of Real Dietary Advice"
Yes. It is a life-altering listen. The book is quite large, and this is the reason I decided to purchase the audio book. I would recommend this to a friend as it explains in detail about scientific nutritional information that affects not only the individual reading/listening but everyone on this planet.
Why We Get Fat is a condensed version of GCBC. However, GCBC expands on that information and gives even more credence to the carbohydrate hypothesis claim. It also expands on the notion that the diseases of civilization all stem from diet, specifically in direct causal relationship to dietary carbohydrate intake.
His tone keeps the listener interested throughout. This is extremely tough to do when detailing scientific studies and nutritional science.
Yes. The fact that heart attacks, type II diabetes, stroke, high blood pressure, gout, obesity and much more can be prevented solely by changing diet. The huge amount of evidence suggests the carbohydrate hypothesis is on the right track.Furthermore, other major unscientific claims are debunked:1)Cholesterol is a GOOD thing.2)Saturated fat is one of the most important nutrients you can ever ingest and should never be limited.3)Salt should not be limited.4)Exercise is not good for losing weight and can in fact have the opposite affect.5)Limiting food intake is not a good method for losing weight.Other interesting points the book makes:1)A lot of cause for infertility may be due to diet.2)Insulin resistance and future weight issues are determined in the womb.3)Nicotine affects fatty acid flow from the adipose tissue, which in essence is the hunger depressant associated with use. Once individuals quit smoking, they typically gain weight due to the re-regulation of fatty acid flow.4)A large portion of cancers are potentially due to diet alone. Therefore, they can be prevented. 5)It is hypothesized that rather than being a behavioral issue, anorexia and other eating disorders may be more biological than anything else.
A must read for everyone.
"Good, though tough to get through."
There really isn't a better resource out there for all the science that supports low carb way of life. The problem is that when you put all that science in to one book, that book becomes quite a task. It took me a few months to get through it in audio format, it probably would have taken a year to get through in hard copy.
That being said, it's still the best book to learn all you want to learn about overweight and health and micronutrients and how you can't trust the food pyramid in your decision making process in regards to your nutrition.
"This changed the way I look at food!"
The information in this book was completely new to me. The things that we take for granted about food are not true (or at least unproven). This book was an exhaustive look at food and health, in particular the diseases of civilization. Very interesting stuff, but it is exhausting to listen to. The amount I learned made up for the excessive explanation and evidence... On the other hand i am not sure I would have been convinced with less evidence.
"What's with the "squeaks" in the audio download?"
What I liked best about Good Calories, Bad Calories is the content of the book. Broadly researched, no skimping and great analysis of the material covered. I don't have to agree with everything to say that. What I liked the least about the audio book are the distracting "squeaks" that occur in the audio at irregular intervals. It seems to be a fault unique to this audio book as the two books I have downloaded since do not contain it. It is annoying enough that I would not keep purchasing audio books if this is a common problem. When Audible gets this problem rectified I will re-download this book . . . I have already downloaded it twice in different formats and the problem persists.
Mike Chamberlain narrates at a pace and with voicing that keeps my interest even through somewhat technical "dry" material. If you can do that, you have to be better than some of my profs were. . . but I can't be to critical of them either, as keeping a receptive audience is no small achievement.

"No other way to say it- The truth about FAT"
Extremely well researched book. It took 5 years to write and it shows. Debunks the diet myths. Killer focus on carbs and insulin as the culprit. Backup with historical and demographic and anthropological data.
The science of fat metabolism is clarified. the compilation of sugar as the culprit is extensive. Long precise and detailed. A must read for anyone who plans to eat for the foreseeable future.
Lab data about mice is particularly telling. Studies of other societies who contact the Western diet disease. MUSt read!
Most of it was great.
My 2 hour round trip commute daily is made tolerable only by audio books.
"Excellent Book revealing how dogma trumps evidence"
Bad science revealed.
How a large, often sited, study ignored their actual findings in favor of the accepted dogma which their findings contradicted.
Nicely read by Chamberlain, but the real brilliance of this book is the quality and depth of the research described in the book. This is probably the best and most important book that I have ever read or listened to.
"Glad this book was on audio"
Yes, because it is very long and I doubt I would have finished it if I was reading it.
I don't know of anther book that gives an exhaustive study of diet research.
May me change the way I eat.
A must listen for anyone with weight problems who thinks the way to lose way is to cut calories.

What Does an IQ of 135 Mean? An IQ of 135 means that you have very superior IQ. The Wechsler Intelligence Scale states that an IQ of 135 is very superior IQ. Moreover, If you have a few minutes to read this page, you will learn several interesting facts about an IQ score of 135.
To reference the IQ calculator for this IQ or any other, please visit the IQ calculator.
As stated above, an IQ score of 135 is very superior IQ. If you or your child previously scored 135 on an IQ test, you or your child has very superior intelligence. If an IQ score of 135 seems appropriate then there is no cause for alarm. However, if an IQ score of 135 seems a bit low, there are several reasons why you or your child has an IQ score of 135. For example, it is possible that you or your child just flat-out did poorly on the test. And the main reasons why people score poorly on tests is due to test anxiety or not being prepared or just simply being distracted.
In statistics and probability theory, the standard deviation shows how much variation or dispersion from the borderline (mean, also called expected value) exists. A low standard deviation indicates that the data points tend to be very close to the mean; a high standard deviation indicates that the data points are spread out over a large range of values.
When current IQ tests are developed, the median raw score of the norming sample is defined as IQ 100 and scores each standard deviation up or down are defined as 15 IQ points greater or less, although this was not always so historically. By this definition, approximately 100 percent of the population scores an IQ between 70 and 134, which is within two standard deviations of the median.
The table below demonstrates a cross reference of your IQ score. For example, an IQ score of 135 received by taking the Stanford-Binet can be cross referenced to measure the same score in the Cattell Intelligence Test and the Wechsler Intelligence Tests. Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) and Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) scores can also be converted from an IQ score of 135. And finally, the IQ table gives you the rarity and percentile of your IQ score of 135 and it also demonstrates how your IQ score ranks against the general population.

Poor Auto Repair Experience
I experienced a simple oil-change completed with a fatigue rotator. It seems like my auto possibly doesn't wish to halt or something will bust and it flat-out will not quit now whenever i-drive my wheels get this godawful grinding steel sound, and I try and brake. I'm now from cash to have this thing farther fixed, as well as scrutinized by another machinist to know they did precisely, although I will die driving it around.
I have pushed straight back several times and whined, and nevertheless have petrol in my own tank my butt away, first (in the exact same day-this occurred) to the real mechanics. These guys informed me what I notice was "standard" and after driving around it might "repair it self." This has been a bit more than a week and nothing has changed. As a matter-of-fact, I consider it's gotten worse.
First i'd recommend you check out autorepair.about.com
now for my reply. Based on my experience, A fatigue turn would not make it grind. Are your wheels really distressed? Rotor be cautious please, may not be incredibly cold or actually better utilize infra-red thermometer of you've got one. Additionally can you have four-wheel disk wheels? It significantly seems like a issue, but you questioned for they should have counseled if used to dangerous state and had not any reason to contact the wheels if turning was all.
My wheels have been used, yet nevertheless practical. Among the wheels is more distressed in relation to the others, with reasoning that is straightforward one discovered it had been as it had been the motorist fatigue that is top and that's where the most fat is (where I usually sit) on the automobile. One actually understand a tad bit more about automobiles than nothing. You dropped one at "edge talked." One was additionally NOT suggested about almost any state that was dangerous. It must be stressed though, before getting my car to the institution, there was NO mincing, and my wheels done flawlessly. Now that is currently milling, like they are interfered with and my wheels feel.

Coffee, wine, beer and chocolate have long been considered vices, but recent studies reveal their health benefits: Coffee cuts skin cancer risk and lowers women's depression; beer can help women protect against osteoporosis; and red wine and cocoa antioxidants could boost metabolism and benefit the heart, respectively.
Even so, consumers should have enough sense to not overindulge in traditionally unhealthy products. But, how do they react when a study reports health claims of nutrients without an existing bias?
The overly-trusting consumer may run out to buy every product with ginger in the ingredient list after reading that it reduces colon inflammation and cancer risk. Suddenly, CPG manufacturers of ginger-snaps have some decisions to make. Should they attempt to capitalize on these claims with front-of-packaging ingredient information?
Packaging claims have been a hot issue lately, as two camps of thought sparked a great debate. The Grocery Manufacturers Association's (GMA) "Facts Up Front" rivals the Institute of Medicine (IoM) over what should be included in front-of-package nutritional facts.
IoM believes displaying calories and a simple star rating will sufficiently inform consumers of nutritional level, while the Facts Up Front Label will present calories, total fat, sodium, sugars, and two "nutrients to encourage" for the manufacturer to choose.
These systems ultimately have the same goal: help consumers make healthier choices. But striking a balance between information overload and ease of use is key.
Time Healthland featured a University of Minnesota study suggesting that people don't actually look at the same nutrition information on food packages as they claim. Researchers used an eye-tracking device with a group of designated shoppers to reveal which components of nutrition labels participants paid attention.
"Although 26% of people self-reported that they almost always look at Nutrition Facts labels at the grocery store, 37% of them actually noticed at least one component of the label for almost all food items," according to the article.
But, customers seem to be unaware of which components they actually noticed. There were large discrepancies between self-reports and eye-tracking data. While 33% said they looked at calorie count, only 9% actually did. In addition, 31% reported they paid attention to total fat content, 24% said they looked at sugar content, and 26% said they looked at serving size, when in reality, only 1% studied each of these components.
It will be interesting to see if this data changes when front-of-package nutrition facts become more prominent, as they're expected to do in 2012. Will consumers trust only a standardized system, such as Facts Up Front or IoM's, or can CPG manufacturers continue to play up key healthy ingredients in a less structured manner? What's your take?

Since 1984, everyone at Nidecker has had one common goal : to push the technological envelope of snowboarding. Our design team works closely with our professional riders and technology partners to develop state-of-the-art composite materials and design innovations. Our single-minded pursuit of excellence has allowed us to revolutionize snowboarding…over…and over…and over again. Join us on the cutting edge.
A purely directional board is best for all-mountain freeriding. The nose is longer and wider than the tail, giving you plenty of control in any terrain, and the stance is set back to help you float above the pow. Plus, we stiffened the tail to help snap you out of turns and keep your speed up.permalink
The twin-tip shape was designed with freestylers in mind. The nose and tail have exactly the same dimensions and the stance is centered, so the board performs equally well, regardless of your orientation. Built to allow riders to jib, spin, stomp, and butter, it gives you not just the pop you need, but the pop you want. Regular or switch, it doesn't matter, it's all the same.permalink
This is a hybrid shape, combining the Twin-Tip and the Directional shapes. It will give you the float and control of a Directional shape, but with a twin "feel" that helps you perform better switch. The stiffness is Twin, but the inserts have a small setback like the Directional.permalink

It sells financial and administrative services to small businesses. I found more evidence that the public doesn't have a clue about what's going on in health care. This is goofy stuff, folks, so I'll have some fun with it.

Division of Administrative Services
The Division of Administrative Services provides a wide range of support services to OCA units and to the trial courts, including purchasing, contract procurement, accounts management and revenue processing. The Division also performs Statewide information management functions including maintaining attorney registration, retainer and closing statement information and adoption affidavits, as well as overseeing the Continuing Legal Education Department.
Attorney Registration
All attorneys admitted to practice in New York State are required to file a biennial registration form and pay a fee. This Office notifies attorneys of registration, collects fees and maintains a database of admitted and registered attorneys. For further information or assistance,
call: 212-428-2800.

For further information or assistance, call: 212-428-2810.
Fiduciaries and other Court Appointees

Applicants may apply on-line or may contact OCA for a hard-copy application. For further information or assistance, call: 212-428-2818.
Retainer and Closing Statements
Pursuant to 22 NYCRR Parts 603.7 and 691.20, every attorney who enters into a contingent-fee agreement in any case involving personal injury, property damage, wrongful death, or claims in connection with condemnation or change of grade proceedings in the First and Second Departments must file a statement of the retainer with the OCA. These retainer statements include the date of agreement, plaintiff name and terms of compensation.
Effective May 28, 2003, the Appellate Division 4th Department repealed sections 1022.2 and 1022.3 therefore removing the requirement that attorneys practicing in the 4th Department file statements with OCA.
In addition, in any case or proceeding that requires a retainer statement to be filed, a closing statement must be filed within 15 days after the attorney receives or shares in any sum received in connection with the claim. This statement must include information indicating the gross amount of the settlement or award (if any), the net distribution between client and attorney, and a breakdown of other expenses and disbursements. A closing statement must also be filed if an action is abandoned or if the agreement is terminated without recovery.
For further information or assistance, call: 212-428-2807
Adoption Affidavits
In accordance with the rules of the respective Appellate Divisions, 22 NYCRR Parts 603.23 (1st Dept.), 691.23 (2nd Dept.), 806.14 (3rd Dept.), and 1022.33 (4th Dept.), all attorneys in adoption proceedings must file an affidavit with the OCA concerning the adoption. The objective of the filing is to maintain a record of attorneys and agencies involved in adoptions and to record the fees, if any, charged for their services.
Effective on October 8, 2003 an administrative order was issued by the Chief Administrator updating the Uniform Rules of the Family and Surrogates Courts [22 NYCRR $205.53.(b)(7), 207.55(b)(7)] to no longer require that a receipt of this filing be presented to the court prior to the entry of the decree. The rule change was made to permit adoptions to proceed to finalization upon affirmation of the attorney that the affidavit had been filed in the hope to expedite the resolution of adoption cases.

If we can't plead stupidity, what else is there? How do we live with ourselves? Is it all the stuff we buy that manages to numb our brains and consciences?
When I see a headline like this one at Bloomberg today, World Needs Record Saudi Oil Supply as OPEC Convenes, there's just one thought that pops into my head: what the world needs is for us to stop doing this thing we're doing. Even apart from peak oil concerns, it's obvious we're going to run out at some point or another, and it doesn't matter whether that's tomorrow or at some other point in the future, though we do know it's not going to take another 100 years, or even 50.
And nothing will ever take the place of oil; once those unique carbons are gone, that's it, we'll have to find a completely different way of running our societies, and if we're not smart enough to prepare for that beforehand, we'll be cats fighting in a sack and use the last scraps to kill off each other. And our legacy won't be the Greek thinkers and Picasso and Dostoyevsky and Walt Whitman and Maria Callas, since there won't be the means for our children anymore to share what makes man great between them. Our main legacy will instead be bloodshed, we will have gone the exact same path that any non-thinking or even primitive organism would have taken, who don't have opera or philosophy or poetry to their name.
You don't have to be a rocket scientist to understand the Harper government's muzzling of scientists is both an assault on democracy and on the pursuit of pure knowledge.
It's Memorial Day, and the forecast is for renewed mocking and derision regarding man-made climate change from the know-nothing, science-averse wing of the Republican Party. President Barack Obama's warning — issued during his commencement address at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy graduation ceremonies Wednesday — that climate change represents a national security threat seems certain to provoke that kind of stormy reaction.

Saudi Arabia's oil minister has said the country will switch its energy focus to solar power as the nation envisages an end to fossil fuels, possibly around 2040-2050, Reuters reports.
"In Saudi Arabia, we recognise that eventually, one of these days, we are not going to need fossil fuels, I don't know when, in 2040, 2050... so we have embarked on a program to develop solar energy," Ali Al-Naimi told a business and climate conference in Paris, the news service reports.

Texas has long touted "local control" as a defense in the courts and public policy debates, and as an offense in actions against the federal government. Texas defended its antiquated and unfair school finance system in the U.S. Supreme Court in 1973 by arguing that the school finance system was necessary to meet the paramount public policy of local control of school districts, and Texas continues to use that argument in state courts today. [...] that local governments have passed ordinances to protect their communities from payday lenders, fracking, plastic bags, water pollution, destruction of trees, low wages, ride-hailing and overzealous enforcement of immigration law, legislators have filed a slew of bills to take the power from local government and put it back into the hands of state leaders and the Legislature.

A glaring paradox of the U.S. food system is that while no country produces food as efficiently, no country wastes as much. Every year, 30 to 40 percent of what is grown and raised in the United States is thrown away or rots between farms and kitchens. That's a startling 133 billion pounds of food — more than enough to feed the 800 million people worldwide who face hunger every day.

OXFORD, Ohio – The Miami University softball team dropped a pair of offensive slugfests to Morehead State on Tuesday. The RedHawks fell, 7-4, in the opener. They then dropped a 10-6 decision in the nightcap. Miami is now 12-22 on the season, while the Eagles improve to 16-14.
Despite the offensive fireworks, the first game started as pitchers' duel between the 'Hawks Jenna Modic and Morehead State's Katie Pfost. The game remained scoreless through four innings with Modic allowing the Eagles only four hits.
Morehead State broke through for three runs off Modic in the top of the fifth. Paige Myers came in to relieve her, but the Eagles scored two more in the top of the sixth to take a 5-0 lead.
The Miami comeback began with four runs in the bottom of the sixth inning. Modic led off with a single to left field and was replaced by pinch-runner Brandi Hernandez. One batter later, Remy Edwards reached on a bunt after Pfost threw it away. Kristy Arbour moved both runners up with her own sacrifice bunt. Shuey doubled to deep center field, scoring Hernandez and Edwards and making it 5-2. Tiyona Marshall singled through the left side to score Shuey. She then moved up to second on a wild pitch. Hailey Reed followed with a double to right center to score Marshall and cut the RedHawk deficit to one at 5-4.
Morehead State scored two more in the top of the seventh to take a 7-4 lead. In the bottom of the inning, Modic and Edwards would get on base with singles, but the 'Hawks were unable to bring them home.
Shuey finished the opener 1-for-4 with two RBI and one run scored. Reed was 3-for-4 with one RBI, while Modic also finished 3-for-4.
Morehead State struck quickly for eight runs in the first two innings of the nightcap. Trailing 8-1, Miami would get back into the contest with four runs in the bottom of the third. Modic led off with a double to left field and advanced to third on a wild pitch. After the Eagles recorded a pair of outs, Allie Larrabee singled through the left side to score Modic. Arbour followed with a single to left center. Shuey then hit a line shot over the center field wall for her first career home run to make it 8-5.
The RedHawks cut the deficit to two in the bottom of the fifth when Reed singled home Arbour. Single runs in each of the next two innings gave Morehead State a 10-6 lead. Miami loaded the bases with two outs in the bottom of the seventh off a pair of walks and a Kylie McChesney single, but Pfost came back in and recorded the final out to secure the victory.
Shuey finished the nightcap 2-for-3 with three RBI and one run scored. She had five RBI total in the doubleheader. Modic was 3-for-4 with one run scored, while Larrabee was 2-for-4 with one RBI and one run scored.
Miami returns to action on Friday when it travels to Ohio for a doubleheader that begins at 1 p.m.

Boppin Babies
The program is designed specifically for babies, toddlers and young people up to four-year-olds, to enhance early childhood development and nurture relationships between you and your child through musical play and interactions.
We use music to help children integrate sensory experiences, learn to regulate their emotions and practice other developmental tasks, like listening, following instruction, and socialising all while having fun singing songs, playing instruments and dancing. By immersing the children in a live, musically rich environment we believe young children learn best about music concepts as well as benefit from the use of music to drive their development.
Parents are actively involved, and we hope this broadens your knowledge on practical hands-on ideas for using music at home to stimulate, calm and interact with your children. Parents and relatives who attend classes with their children report increased confidence when using music in the home.

PIKEVILLE—The University of Pikeville celebrated the inauguration of its new president last week, who not only is an alumnus of the school, but also a native of Perry County.
Dr. James Hurley officially entered the position of president in July, following in the footsteps of former Gov. Paul Patton. Hurley, who grew up in Chavies and graduated from the county school system, told the Herald in July that his education in Perry County played a significant role in not only his career success, but on his emphasis as an educator. He began his career as a high school basketball coach before becoming a principal and working his way upward.
"My learning experiences at Chavies, Buckhorn, and M. C. Napier have really paved that way to success, and all the educators that I was taught by helped me get to where I am today," he said.
Hurley was formally installed as UPike's 20th president during a ceremony at the college on Friday. He is the first alumnus to take the position, a fact noted in a recent op-ed he penned prior to last week's inauguration.
"Established in 1889 by Presbyterian ministers, their mission was to educate the youth of the mountains," Hurley wrote of UPike's beginnings. "I am honored to be the first alumnus to lead my alma mater. As a first generation college graduate and a native of Eastern Kentucky, I am living the promise of the founders."
As president, Hurley noted he will spend a lot of time promoting the school across the state and nation while also cultivating relationships with the school's 13,000 alumni. But his most important role will be to ensure UPike's students are given the tools they need to succeed in life beyond college.
"The moment a student becomes part of the UPIKE family, our goal is to give them a good start, fostering their growth from the first-year experience to graduation day," he wrote.
After earning his bachelor's degree from Pikeville College, Hurley went on to earn his master's degree in education leadership from Indiana University. He obtained his doctorate in higher education and leadership at Morehead State University. His wife, Tina, is also a Pikeville graduate.

Generic: Ginger
an herbal product - treats Motion sickness / seasickness, Rheumatoid arthritis, Shortening labor, Osteoarthritis, Migraine, Nausea and vomiting of pregnancy, Nausea and vomiting, Urinary disorders, Weight loss, Nausea, and Anti-platelet agent
SafetyDISCLAIMER: Many complementary techniques are practiced by healthcare professionals with formal training, in accordance with the standards of national organizations. However, this is not universally the case, and adverse effects are possible. Due to limited research, in some cases only limited safety information is available.
Ginger supplements should be avoided by individuals with a known allergy to ginger, its components, or other members of the Zingiberaceae family, including Alpinia formosana, Alpinia purpurata (red ginger), Alpinia zerumbet (shell ginger), Costus barbatus, Costus malortieanus, Costus pictus, Costus productus, Dimerocostus strobilaceus, or Elettaria cardamomum (green cardamom). Allergic contact rashes have been reported, and these rashes may be more likely in people who work with ginger, who apply ginger to the skin, or who have a positive allergy test for Balsam of Peru. An allergic eye reaction has also been reported.
Side Effects and Warnings
Few side effects have been associated with ginger at low doses. There is a lack of available studies that confirm the long- term, safe use of ginger supplements. The most commonly reported side effects of ginger involve the stomach and intestines. Irritation or bad taste in the mouth, heartburn, belching, bloating, gas, and nausea have been reported, especially with powdered forms of ginger. There are several reports that fresh ginger that is swallowed without enough chewing can result in blockage of the intestines. Individuals who have had ulcers, inflammatory bowel disease, or blocked intestines should use ginger supplements cautiously and should avoid large amounts of freshly cut ginger. People with gallstones should use ginger with caution.
In theory, ginger can cause abnormal heart rhythms, although reports in humans are lacking. Some publications suggest that ginger may raise or lower blood pressure, although limited scientific information is available.
In addition, ginger may theoretically prevent blood clotting by preventing the clumping of platelets. In one study, gingerol compounds and their derivatives were shown to be more potent anti- platelet agents than aspirin. This raises a concern that individuals who are treated with medications that slow blood clotting or who undergo surgery may have a high risk of excessive bleeding if they take ginger supplements. Ginger is traditionally said to reduce blood sugar levels at high doses, but there is a lack of scientific evidence available. In one study, two of eight participants reported an intense urge to urinate 30 minutes after ingesting ginger. Ginger has also been associated with pinkeye (conjunctivitis), but this was considered a rare occurrence.
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
Some authors suggest that pregnant women should not take ginger in amounts greater than found in food (or more than 1 gram dry weight per day). There are reports that ginger can increase discharge from the uterus in menstruating women, and possibly lead to abortion, mutations of the fetus, or increased risk of bleeding. However, other reports state that there is a lack of scientific evidence that ginger endangers pregnancy. Little scientific study is available in this area to support either perspective, although ginger has been studied in a small number of pregnant women (to assess effects on nausea), without reports of adverse pregnancy outcomes. There is controversy in this area. The use of ginger in pregnancy is cautioned against in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). However, higher doses of ginger are generally used in Chinese medicine.

Nearly everywhere in America, this summer is a scorcher, and we know that as a responsible pet parent, you want to do everything you can to keep your best four-legged friends cool. So when you look at your Pomeranian, Golden Retriever or long-haired cat wearing a thick, fluffy coat, you might feel tempted to break out your grooming tools and give him a serious hair cut.
But hold those clippers! While you or I would hate to sport a fur coat in 100-degree weather, your pets' fur coats are actually providing them with heat relief.
"A dog's coat is kind of like insulation for your house," explains Dr. Louise Murray, Vice President of the ASPCA Animal Hospital. "Insulation stops your home from getting too cold in winter, but it also keeps it from overheating in summer—and your dog's coat does the same thing."
Dogs' coats have several layers, and these layers are essential to your dog's comfort in the heat. Robbing your dog of this natural cooling system can lead to discomfort and overheating. And keeping your dog cool isn't the only reason to leave his coat intact, Dr. Murray warns. Your dog's coat prevents your pup from getting sunburn and helps protect her from skin cancer.
So what can you do? "It's OK to trim your long-haired dog's long hair, such as any hair that hangs down on his legs," Dr. Murray says. Just never attempt to clip mats off your pet's coat with scissors, Dr. Murray adds. And if you've got a long-haired kitty, leave her coat intact. Instead, brush her a little more frequently during the hot summer months.
To protect your pet from sunburn and skin cancer, save longer walks for evenings, and consider applying pet-specific sun block to thinly covered areas like the bridge of your dog's nose, the tips of his ears and his belly, Dr. Murray suggests, noting that pets with thin coats, as well as those with white or light-colored coats, are especially at risk for sun damage.
Of course, pet parents should remember to keep pets inside with plenty of water during hot days—hydration is key! For more important information on summer pet care, visit our Hot-Weather Tips.
Thank u for posting what u did.We also shave our dogs in the summer time.St.bernard,and a sheppard/wolf,and THEY LOVED IT.jUST GOTTA LEAVE ENOUGH FOR THE MISQUITOS, I since strongly dis-agree w/this article.Everyone thought the world was flat too for centuries,guess what they were wrong..Shave em,,they will love it,,jmo mary
as a groomer and pet owner and vet tech i think i speak w/ some knowledge.
Nature gave pets the coats they have for a reason - in winter they grow one, when it gets warm/hot they shed it. What's left is what they need to stay cool. If they were meant to have close cropped coats, I think they'd be that way naturally!! It's people who think they need to be shaved to be cooler when in reality the animal is left open to heatstroke and skin cancer!! Just like people!! Just brush & comb the coat (this where owners get lazy) or use one of those "furminator" things.....DON'T SHAVE THE ANIMAL!!
Dogs that live indoors shed constantly because shedding in the wild is dictated by daylight hours. Dogs that live indoors are subjected to artificial light all year round so they will shed all year. This is completely normal. Listen to the experts about not clipping. That is why they are the experts.
Unless you are having him bathed and blow out by a professional groomer he is going to appear to be shedding all year round. Dirty coats have a hard time releasing dead fur all at once like they are supposed to. So they release clumps when they become too heavy and gravity just pulls them out. His skin will be fine but the texture of his coat will have changed from all the shaving and you can't reverse that. But if you like a natural coat on a thick double coated dog have them professionally groomed 3-4 times a year minimum and you won't see very much shedding. Having them groomed 6-8 times a year will eliminate almost all fur shedding.
False. Temperatures in Siberia can reach 100F degrees - Maryland is a perfectly fine climate for a Malamute. A properly groomed double-coated northern breeds can handle 90 degree weather better than other dogs, specifically because of their coat. Clipping/shaving their fur can interfere with their ability to regulate their body temperature and can have deadly consequences. Shaving their fur actually makes them more susceptible to over-heating. The layers of air trapped within a properly-groomed-coat keep their bodies cool. Also, their fur protects their sensitive pink skin from the sun. Without a properly groomed fur coat, double-coated northern breeds are defenseless from even a 70 degree temperature and the sun's UV rays. Also, very close shaving of their undercoat can sometimes damage follicles and cause the fur to not grow back. A northern-breed should be brushed once a week, at least, and daily when blowing-coat. If a person does not have the time, energy, or money to properly groom a double-coated northern breed, then that person should not own one.
For the first time in her 6 years, we clipped our Corgi this summer. Her brother (a Cocker) has always gotten regular clipping, pretty short in summer and heavier in winter, but we believed the theory of leaving a dog's insulation untouched. Wrong! She can enjoy walks now (morning, and we carry water). I agree with Christina that you have to take the breed and climate into consideration. In a hot and humid summer, it's cruel to leave a dog in a thick, long coat. Would you wear your thick wool coat? Sure we need sun protection, but we don't wear blankets.
We've donated regularly to ASPCA for 30 years. I'm disappointed to see you spreading this thoughtless misinformation.

Corporations Investing in Hodge Hall - 05/01/2012
With economic pressures becoming tighter, many corporate partners are deciding to invest their dollars in the Kelley School of Business. As of April 2012, commitments have been made from 3M Company, Altria Group, ArcelorMittal USA, BKD LLP, Emerson, and KPMG LLP. As the Undergraduate Expansion and Renovation Building campaign continues, corporate partners set an example for others to follow.
A $1 million commitment from 3M and its Foundation for a new professional sales and communications lab for students was the first major corporate gift for the $60 million capital campaign. This gift set the bar high for others to follow in transforming the school's facilities for undergraduate students. 3M has a consistent history of hiring Kelley students and has supported Kelley faculty through annual giving and funding special projects. "3M has been an extraordinary partner with the Kelley School for many years," said former Dean Dan Smith. "The Sales and Business Communications Lab made possible by 3M will move us forward in preparing students for careers not just in sales, but in all areas of business."
Altria made a cash gift to the new lab as well, by providing $100,000 to outfit the control room with the latest technology. This gift will enable the purchase of technical equipment, including audio and video recording equipment, camcorders, and microphones.
ArcelorMittal also provided a $300,000 cash donation to name a classroom in the building. Since 2007, ArcelorMittal has provided more than $750,000 in direct support for faculty fellowships, diversity training, scholarships, and academic course and research support. A classroom will also be named for Emerson, to recognize their gift to the campaign and partnership with Kelley.
Through individual and matching gifts from KPMG partners and the KPMG Foundation, a $300,000 pledge was made to name a classroom in the expansion. KPMG's partnership with Kelley is evident in multiple in many areas with a lifetime giving to Kelley well over $1.5 million with the inclusion of matching gifts from the KPMG Foundation. Similar to the KPMG pledge, BKD partners and matching funds committed a $225,000 pledge shortly after to name the academic advising suite. Deloitte personnel and the Deloitte Foundation also have committed $264,500 to name a classroom on the 4th floor of the Hodge Hall expansion.
"We could not be more thankful for the holistic approach of our strong corporate partners, from funding to training to hiring. They understand the importance and benefit of having multiple touch points throughout Kelley," says Smith. Private gifts make and important difference in the School's stability to provide students with a world-class learning experience. Kelley continues to be a leader nationally in large part because of the ongoing support and presence of corporate partners.
