The allostatic load framework implies that cumulative exposure to stressors results in multi-system physiological dysregulation.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of stress burden on subsequent changes (2000–2006) in physiological dysregulation.
Data came from a population-based cohort study in Taiwan (n = 521, aged 54+ in 2000, re-examined in 2006). Measures of stressful events and chronic strain were based on questions asked in 1996, 1999, and 2000. A measure of trauma was based on exposure to the 1999 earthquake. Dysregulation was based on 17 biomarkers (e.g., metabolic, inflammatory, neuroendocrine).
There were some small effects among men: chronic strain was associated with subsequent increases in dysregulation (standardized β = 0.08, 95 % CI = 0.01 to 0.20), particularly inflammation; life events were also associated with increased inflammation (β = 0.10, CI = 0.01 to 0.26). There were no significant effects in women.
We found weak evidence that stress burden is associated with changes in dysregulation.

Ana Ivanovic loses in first round of Roland Garros. Question rises: Where is that champion we used to know?
And sometimes smokes gets in your eyes. Your vision is troubled and you want the player you put your money on (No, I don't mean live betting) to succeed no matter what. And that goes for Ana Ivanovic as well. I want her to succeed but I am bummed that she lost to Johanna Larsson from Sweden in three sets 7-6, 0-6, 6-2. So I am faced with the harsh reality that Ana just isn't the player she was back in 2008 when she was winning and winning. It's really too bad and I seriously wonder how it is possible for a player who has the potential to win more than one major in her career can just not get back to her winning ways.
I do think that her struggles with injuries since the beginning of this year has played a big part. First of all her fitness isn't what it is supposed to be and she never really got back into her groove. The one that won her the Bali tournament in 2010 and we all thought that she was getting back and ready to show some of the top 10 players how tennis played.
Perhaps Ana should take some time off from tennis, like Dinara Safina, and heal up rather than going from injury to injury every month. Injuries need good time to heal and as much as I love watching Ana on the courts, it's no fun if you have to watch her struggle. First round exits are becoming all too common and humiliating for a player who can be of great stature.
I still have hopes that some day Ana will be on top of her game and win another major. She has proved that she can play on hardcourt, clay and grass. She has reached deep into the Australian Open, US Open, Wimbledon and has won French Open. There is no reason to think that she can't do it again. All it takes is a little belief.
Enjoy the photos of Ana practicing at the French Open 2011 and try to forget that it's the last time we will see her practice for the 2011 edition of Roland Garros.

2 Responses to Ana Ivanovic loses in first round of Roland Garros. Question rises: Where is that champion we used to know?
I think she can win another major. Of course I don't know anything about tennis.. But we've seen that in other sports too.. players going through a tough time because of injuries and rebound once they're iback in shape.
Now maybe you're right and she needs to take some time off.. but that would mean no more pics of Ana for a while and that would be just as sad as seeing her lose in the 1st round
Hello Addilson,
thanks for your usuaully very crafty replies. And yes, Ana can get back in shape but when she was in shape she wasn't winning much either.
Yes some time off might be good for her and even if that means a few months without ana pics, I am sure that when she bounces back will get an overload of photos. So I don't worry about that much.
Thanks for your continued comments. It's nice to know that somebody actually reads my articles

What he did up to 1984 will always be there whether he had stopped at the end of 1984 or carried on well into the 1990s, as he did. I believe that by squeezing every last drop out of his potential, surely he increased his legacy all the more.
While Roddick did NOT wait too long to retire, he does show how sticking around could hurt a player's legacy. Young Roddick was known as a huge hitter, biggest server, and a kid with a ton of talent.
Now, a lot of people think of him as lacking a lot of talent on groundstrokes, less talented that other top players, etc. When players' abilities start diminishing, people remember them as less successful and talented than they would have if the player had quit closer to their prime.

Quaint B&B! Very relaxing. My group of 8 came in on bicycles. Mary (owner) was incredibly accomdating allowing us to store our bikes in the garage. She even offered to laundered our gear. We were incredibly grateful for fresh clothes the next day. Warm cookies in the evening, delicious and plentiful breakfast, comfortable beds and plenty of rooms to relax!!! Thanks Mary!

Mary Ann is incredible and the house is perfect. We are a young couple and were looking to get away from New York City for the weekend. We spent the weekend canoeing on the lake and Mary Ann was an immaculate host. I highly recommend!

Lovely home. Charming surroundings, great breakfast, comfy bed. Hope to return.

Our night at Chapin Park was the perfect end to a wonderful day. The inn was elegant without being pretentious. Accommodations were spotless and comfortable. Mary Ann was a perfect host - gracious, kind, helpful with information about the house and the area and thoughtful.....she left us a plate of cookies! We prefer to stay at a B & B over a hotel and Chapin Park is now on our 'favorites' list. We look forward to our next visit on our wedding anniversary.

The website gives a hint but you have to see Chapin Park to appreciate it. Mary Ann gives breakfast a new meaning. Absolutely awesome and authentic.

Josh Fox, director of the documentary Gasland, was arrested and ejected from a Congressional hearing on fracking today after Republican Congress members objected to his filming the proceedings. Fox and his crew did not have press credentials, though he had requested permission to film prior to the hearing. Fox was released in the afternoon without having to pay a fine or post bail; his hearing is scheduled for 15 February. Fox told the New York Times, "We have followed this case for three years, and it seemed as if this hearing was an attack on the E.P.A. and we wanted to be there. We wanted this to be transparent to the American people. This is emblematic of what is happening across the world."
The hearing had been called to investigate an EPA report about the possible effects of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, on the well water near Pavilion, Wyoming. The hearing's briefing paper described the report's principal conclusion: "that ground water in the aquifer contains compounds likely associated with gas production practices, including hydraulic fracturing". Opponents of the report's conclusions have questioned the EPA's survey methods and transparency, leading to today's meeting.
In a statement on the website Truthout, Fox stated, "This was an act of civil disobedience — yes done in an impromptu fashion — but at the moment when they told me to turn off the cameras, I could not. I know my rights and I felt it was imperative to exercise them." He continued, "The truth that fracking contaminates groundwater is out, and no amount of intimidation tactics — either outright challenges to science or the arrest of journalists — will put the genie back in the bottle." Fox is working on a sequel to Gasland.
At the hearing, EPA Region 8 Administrator James Martin defended the agency's report, noting that their extensive sampling "indicates detection of benzene, methane, and synthetic chemicals, like glycols and alcohols consistent with gas production and hydraulic fracturing fluids." These chemicals are known carcinogens.
2010′s Gasland was nominated for an Oscar and won a special jury prize for best US Documentary Feature. It describes fracking and its political and human health effects, and is credited with drawing increased public attention to the practice. Here is the film's trailer:

Freedom of the press is constitutionally protected and the public has the right to be informed by the press of what occurs in committee meetings of Congress. The chair's politically motivated behavior seems to warrant an ethics investigation.

This appears to be a difficult concept for some people to wrap their skull around, but times change. Laver only won 11 slams but if you count his pro majors it was a lot more. I think it is clear we can say the pro field was the better of the two because when it went to open era and the amateurs and pros were thrown together who dominated? Roy Emerson couldn't even beat late 30s Pancho on his worst surface (clay) and Emerson had won 2 of those amateur French Opens. He never made another semi or final. He chose not to go pro and fell far behind his peers. Same happened for most of the big ameatur guys in the mid 60s that didn't go pro, when open era came around they were no longer top players and more of the middle tier. The only ones who could really compete at the top level was Newk.
So yes it is unfair to say Laver would have dominated the majors had he played them in the 60s, but it is safe to say that most of the 'slams' as you call them that were won in the 60s were not as impressive. Which is why most consider Laver's best two seasons to be 69 and 67 and 62 is kind of iffy. 62 was a great accomplishment but 69 was much more impressive as the level of talent Laver disposed of was ridiculous. He didn't play some of the slam events because he wanted to make money off playing tennis. Lets be real if all the majors nowadays gave out no prize money at all and told players if they were sponsored they could not show up and play them, I could imagine things being pretty different. The players wanted to make money and be the focus and in the spotlight. The pro tour in the 60s gave them that opportunity.
Again judge on the times and realize yea he has only 11 'slams' but numerous pro majors and dominated the pro tour for most of the mid to late 60s. As well as then being the dominating force when the open era came to be.
Agreed. But to put it in perspective, when Open Tennis started in 1968, Laver would be thirty that year and most likely past his prime. Yet Laver won the first Open Wimbledon and the Grand Slam the next year when he would turn 31.
So Laver won five of the first seven majors played when he was about 30 and a bit above 30. How many majors did he miss winning when he was at his physical peak?
It's all speculation of course but I think the general opinion of those who saw his dominance was that he probably would have won many more majors.
We cannot prove it of course but imagine if Federer or Nadal couldn't play majors anymore when they were in their early twenties. It would be a crime but they would have the amount of majors they have in reality now reduced by a great amount.
I don't think it would reduce Federer's or Nadal's greatness one bit if they didn't win the classic majors during the period they would have been banned but it may affect how some may view them, however wrong it may be. Federer would be no less great if he didn't win classic majors during that time and won Pro Majors. Heck the Pro Majors probably would have a stronger field in this type of scenario.
Now if Federer and Nadal were robbed of an opportunity to play in the majors for years I think it would be fair to speculate that they would have won a lot more majors even if they did not assuming they did very well in the Pro Tour like Laver and Rosewall did.
No we are not talking about fact but we are talking about probability. The probability would be that Federer and Nadal would have won a lot of majors just as the probability Laver and Rosewall would have won a lot of majors when they were banned from playing the majors.
Isn't logical speculation one of the fun things in discussing sports in general?
Notice I say logical speculation.
We do know for a fact Laver was dominant in the Pro Tour for years and won the Pro Grand Slam in 1967 plus the Wimbledon tournament they played on the pro circuit that year. Experts at the time knew Laver and Rosewall were the best in the world and not Roy Emerson for example who won a good portion of the majors.

A refugee Agenda for Protection
News Stories, 14 December 2001
GENEVA, Dec. 14 (UNHCR) – After an unprecedented global recommitment to the principles of the 1951 Refugee Convention, work will now move forward on an Agenda for Protection to strengthen help for millions of uprooted peoples and examine such issues as security concerns and burden-sharing among nations.
A ministerial-level conference attended by 156 countries, non-governmental organizations and other groups in Geneva held on December 12-13 adopted a declaration which committed signatory nations to "implement our obligations under the 1951 Convention and/or its 1967 Protocol fully and effectively" and hailed the treaty as one of 'relevance and resilience' and of 'enduring importance.'
The public affirmation by so many nations was particularly important at a time when the Convention has been increasingly criticized as outdated and in the wake of the September attacks in the United States which helped prompt rising xenophobia, and in many countries tougher anti-terrorism and immigration policies, some of which could have an adverse effect on refugees and asylum seekers.
"The Convention will go on," High Commissioner Ruud Lubbers told the meeting. From that starting point "we can try to improve the policies. The problem is not the Convention; the Convention is the solution."
The Conference was held under the auspices of a lengthy UNHCR initiative called Global Consultations on International Protection which was launched in early 2001 involving humanitarian organizations, governments, academics and refugee law experts and will continue into next year.
Building on the success of the Geneva gathering, work will now focus on an Agenda for Protection, a series of activities which will serve as a guide to governments and humanitarian organizations in promoting greater overall refugee protection.
There will be five major areas of concentration including strengthening the implementation of the Convention, ensuring protection of refugees within broader migration movements, improving burden-sharing among receiving nations, handling security-related concerns more effectively and redoubling efforts to find long-lasting solutions for refugees.
Some of the activities envisaged for each of those objectives include:
The implementation of the Convention and its protocol should be strengthened by: encouraging universal accession, improving individual status determination procedures and striving for more consistency and uniformity among nations in excluding from the 'protection regime' people guilty of serious crimes such as terrorism. Efforts should also be made to improve the registration of refugee populations, address the root causes of refugee movements and recognize the contributions of refugees to society.
The protection of refugees within broader migration movements could be enhanced by: strengthening international efforts to combat human trafficking, informing potential migrants of the opportunities for legal emigration, expediting the return of persons found not to be in need of protection and fostering cooperation between UNHCR and the International Organization for Migration (IOM).
Burden-sharing more equitably among nations could be improved by: increasing responsibility-sharing arrangements to help countries of first asylum, strengthening protection partnerships with civil societies, anchoring refugee issues within national and regional development agendas and promoting resettlement as a burden-sharing tool.
Security related concerns could be addressed by: helping states, financially or materially, to separate armed elements from refugee populations and improving the protection of refugee women and children.

2011 Global Trends
UNHCR's annual Global Trends report shows 2011 to have been a record year for forced displacement across borders, with more people becoming refugees than at any time since 2000. Of the 4.3 million people newly displaced in 2011, 800,000 actually left their countries and thus became refugees.
Worldwide, 42.5 million people ended 2011 either as refugees (15.2 million), internally displaced (26.4 million) or in the process of seeking asylum (895,000).
The report also highlights several worrying trends: One is that forced displacement is affecting larger numbers of people globally, with the annual number exceeding 42 million in the last five years. Another is that a person who becomes a refugee is likely to remain one for several years: of the 10.4 million refugees under UNHCR's mandate, almost three-quarters (7.1 million) have been in protracted exile for at least five years awaiting a solution.

Chad: Education in Exile
UNHCR joins forces with the Ministry of Education and NGO partners to improve education for Sudanese refugees in Chad.
The ongoing violence in Sudan's western Darfur region has uprooted two million Sudanese inside the country and driven some 230,000 more over the border into 12 refugee camps in eastern Chad.
Although enrolment in the camp schools in Chad is high, attendance is inconsistent. A shortage of qualified teachers and lack of school supplies and furniture make it difficult to keep schools running. In addition, many children are overwhelmed by household chores, while others leave school to work for local Chadian families. Girls' attendance is less regular, especially after marriage, which usually occurs by the age of 12 or 13. For boys and young men, attending school decreases the possibility of recruitment by various armed groups operating in the area.
UNHCR and its partners continue to provide training and salaries for teachers in all 12 refugee camps, ensuring a quality education for refugee children. NGO partners maintain schools and supply uniforms to needy students. And UNICEF is providing books, note pads and stationary. In August 2007 UNHCR, UNICEF and Chad's Ministry of Education joined forces to access and improve the state of education for Sudanese uprooted by conflict in Darfur.
UNHCR's ninemillion campaign aims to provide a healthy and safe learning environment for nine million refugee children by 2010.
Chad: Education in Exile
Education for Displaced Colombians
UNHCR works with the government of Colombia to address the needs of children displaced by violence.
Two million people are listed on Colombia's National Register for Displaced People. About half of them are under the age of 18, and, according to the Ministry of Education, only half of these are enrolled in school.
Even before displacement, Colombian children attending school in high-risk areas face danger from land mines, attacks by armed groups and forced recruitment outside of schools. Once displaced, children often lose an entire academic year. In addition, the trauma of losing one's home and witnessing extreme violence often remain unaddressed, affecting the child's potential to learn. Increased poverty brought on by displacement usually means that children must work to help support the family, making school impossible.
UNHCR supports the government's response to the educational crisis of displaced children, which includes local interventions in high-risk areas, rebuilding damaged schools, providing school supplies and supporting local teachers' organizations. UNHCR consults with the Ministry of Education to ensure the needs of displaced children are known and planned for. It also focuses on the educational needs of ethnic minorities such as the Afro-Colombians and indigenous people.

These two essays, written late in Jung's life, reflect his responses to the shattering experience of World War II and the dawn of mass society. Among his most influential works, "The Undiscovered Self" is a plea for his generation--and those to come--to continue the individual work of self-discovery and not abandon needed psychological reflection for the easy ephemera of mass culture. Only individual awareness of both the conscious and unconscious aspects of the human psyche, Jung tells us, will allow the great work of human culture to continue and thrive.
Jung's reflections on self-knowledge and the exploration of the unconscious carry over into the second essay, "Symbols and the Interpretation of Dreams," completed shortly before his death in 1961. Describing dreams as communications from the unconscious, Jung explains how the symbols that occur in dreams compensate for repressed emotions and intuitions. This essay brings together Jung's fully evolved thoughts on the analysis of dreams and the healing of the rift between consciousness and the unconscious, ideas that are central to his system of psychology.
This paperback edition of Jung's classic work includes a new foreword by Sonu Shamdasani, Philemon Professor of Jung History at University College London.

It is designed to be a teaching tool for children of all ages. Jim Cameron wrote the story, and Creative Services' Graphic Designer Nick Crawford provided the illustrations.

HUD reorganization will close dozens of field offices, affect 900 workers
Thursday - 4/25/2013, 7:58pm EDT
A major restructuring at the Department of Housing and Urban Development will close or consolidate dozens of the agency's field offices nationwide and affect 10 percent of its workforce.
The restructuring initiative was revealed to staff Wednesday. HUD officials said the current organizational model is not sustainable given the constrained budget the agency faces.
"The decision to transform and improve the agency is not easy and it was not a decision that any of us took lightly," said HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan, in a video message announcing the plan. "One thing we're not doing is looking to lay off employees."
The downsizing, which will impact the Offices of Multifamily Housing Programs and Field Policy and Management, will begin this fall and will take about 2 1/2 years to implement. All told, the initiative will save as much as $65 million annually and will affect 900 of HUD's 9,000 employees.
"Make no mistake — we will have to make tough choices. But while some of these changes will be painful, we will work to do everything we can to minimize that pain," Donovan said.
Employees affected by the restructuring will be offered relocation assistance if necessary. HUD will also offer buyouts and early retirements. Every affected employee will be offered a position with the agency, according to a HUD release.
Employees in the Multifamily Housing Programs office will see the biggest impact.
HUD plans to consolidate 50 field offices nationwide down to just 10 offices that, in turn, will report to five "hubs" located in New York, Atlanta, Chicago, Fort Worth and San Francisco.
The agency aims to save between $40 million and $50 million once the plan is fully implemented.
HUD officials also plan to close 16 of the Office of Field Policy and Management's 80 field offices in places such as Syracuse, N.Y.; Fresno, Calif.; Cincinnati, Ohio; and Shreveport, La. After the restructuring, each state will still retain at least one field office.
That will save between $11 million and $15 million, the agency estimated.
Plan went forward without union input
Maurice Jones, deputy HUD secretary, said the agency's business model is unsustainable in the current fiscal climate.
"We're in a different budget environment and we're at a point where we must make some extremely tough choices," he said in a statement.
The agency's decision, which has been in the works for about a year, was not affected by sequestration, said Jerry Brown, a HUD spokesman.
"Realistically, we don't anticipate HUD's budget significantly increasing in the coming years," he told Federal News Radio in an email. "We are taking this opportunity to reshape the organization's future before we're forced to do so by the budget."
The president of the American Federation of Government Employees Council 222, which represents 6,500 of the 9,000 employees that would be affected by the plan, said the union is still awaiting official notification from the agency.
"We can bargain and we will bargain over impact and implementation," Council President Eddie Eitches told Federal News Radio.
Eitches said the agency did not provide the union with many details before the announcement of the reorganization.
"There was no pre-decisional involvement," he said. "The plan was developed without union input."
Going forward, the union will work to reduce the number of employees forced to move by asking Congress to give the agency greater flexibility to shift funding around between offices, Eitches said.

How to test led's at masthead??

Rep Power:
40mA is typical for a single "conventional" LED but a "high power" LED could draw more. 40ma at 12 volts will be less than a half watt of power drain, not ten watts, although perhaps that is supposed to be one LED "equal to" a 10 watt conventional bulb. (I don't think it would be bright enough though.)
With LEDs you have one extra hazard, if the maker has not provided reverse voltage protection, it is possible that hooking one up backwards would incinerate it--very quickly. I'd do any testing at a lower voltage level or check with the maker if in doubt.
How the fixture will behave will depend on what protections and what other circuitry they have built into it, I'd be hesitant to suggest it could "just" be tested as if it were a plain LED alone. You might want to confirm with Aqua Signal directly to find out what their suggestion is, the odds are you aren't the first guy to have this problem.
