Gastrointestinal Problems in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Inflammation of RA, some RA medications, and risk factors such as smoking contribute to GI issues in people with RA.
If you have rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and experience gastrointestinal (GI) problems on top of it, you are not alone. Studies have found that people with RA have more GI issues than people who do not have RA. Higher levels of inflammation and impaired immunity due to the disease likely play a significant role.
Another factor is fibromyalgia. About 20-30 percent of people with RA develop fibromyalgia as well. Among fibro's many symptoms are: abdominal pain, bloating and alternating constipation and diarrhea (called irritable bowel syndrome or spastic colon).
Additionally, medications used to treat RA – including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), corticosteroids and most disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) – list GI problems as a common side effect.
A study published in the Journal of Nutrition in 2011, found that most people with RA experienced GI disorders such as constipation (66 percent) or diarrhea (11 percent), possibly indicating an imbalance of intestinal bacteria.
Beyond the discomfort and disruption of symptoms like nausea, diarrhea and other digestive issues, a study published in the Journal of Rheumatology in 2012 found that the risk of experiencing a serious upper or a lower GI event was 70 percent higher in those with RA than in those without RA – and when those events occurred, they were more likely to be critical and require hospitalization in people with RA.
Upper-GI events (occurring between the mouth and the end of the stomach) include bleeding, GI perforation (a hole in the wall of the stomach), ulcers, obstruction and esophagitis (inflammation, irritation or swelling of the esophagus). Lower-GI events (affecting the large and small intestines) include bleeding, perforation, ulcers, obstruction, diverticulitis (infection or inflammation of the small sacs in the lining of the intestine) and colitis (swelling of the large intestine).
Upper-GI problems in RA patients have been partly attributed to the use of NSAIDs. An increased awareness of the side effects of NSAIDs, their wiser use and the addition of proton pump inhibitors to control upper-GI symptoms have helped to reduce the incidence of upper-GI problems associated with RA. In fact, the study found that the incidence of upper-GI tract problems declined over the 28-year study period in people with RA (although it was still higher than in the general population). On the other hand, the incidence of lower-GI tract problems held steady over the same time period.
People with RA had an increased risk of infectious colitis (inflammation of the colon caused by infection) and drug-induced colitis, as well as lower-GI bleeding, perforation and diverticulitis, compared with non-RA patients. The factors associated with lower-GI problems in RA identified in this study included smoking, use of corticosteroids (such as prednisone and cortisone), prior upper-GI disease and abdominal surgery.
"We are still seeing about a 50 percent increase in lower-GI problems in people with RA compared with those without it. More attention is needed to address lower-GI problems," says study co-author Eric Matteson, chair of rheumatology at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn.
Better strategies and treatment approaches are needed to address lower-GI problems in people with RA, such as timely treatment of upper-GI disease, minimizing exposure to corticosteroids, avoiding smoking, and screening for lower-GI disease, all of which may help reduce the incidence or seriousness of lower-GI issues.
Bottom Line
Although our understanding of the impact of RA (and its treatments) on the GI tract is evolving, GI problems are not going away any time soon. To minimize the risk of serious GI complications, you should speak with your doctor right away if you develop any signs or symptoms of a GI problem. And if you haven't done so yet, stop smoking and start eating right.

Eisai to Launch Botulinum Toxin Type B Neuromuscular-Blocking Agent Nerbloc(R) intramuscular Injection 2500 Units in Japan Tokyo, Mar 26, 2013 - (JCN Newswire) - Eisai Co., Ltd. announced today that it will launch NerBloc(R) Intramuscular Injection 2500 Units (botulinum toxin type B, "NerBloc"), a neuromuscular-blocking agent, in Japan on March 27 as a treatment for cervical dystonia. Botulinum toxin type B is a protein produced by the anaerobic bacterium Clostridium botulinum type B. By acting specifically on motor nerve terminals at the neuromuscular junction, it inhibits the release of acetylcholine from the cholinergic nerve endings and exhibits muscle relaxant effects. Eisai acquired the exclusive rights to develop and market NerBloc in Japan from U.S.-based Elan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Ireland-based Elan Pharma International Ltd. (collectively, "Elan") in September 2000 and was approved as the marketing authorization holder following product development. NerBloc was then listed on the National Health Insurance (NHI) drug price list on February 22, 2013. In a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (Study 131) conducted by Eisai in Japan in patients with cervical dystonia, NerBloc showed statistically significant improvement in TWSTRS (Toronto Western Spasmodic Torticollis Rating Scale) total score from baseline to week four versus placebo. No serious side effects were reported, with the most common adverse events being difficulty in swallowing, dry mouth and thirst. Cervical dystonia causes symptoms such as cephalic displacement, tremor, scoliosis, and cervical pain as a result of abnormal cervical muscle contraction. Symptoms normally appear during adolescence or adulthood, progressing for anywhere between several months and several years before they eventually reach a plateau. Cervical dystonia can be treated with botulinum toxin therapy, oral medications such as anticholinergic agents and muscle relaxants, or surgery. Most notably, botulinum toxin is listed in overseas treatment guidelines as a safe and effective modality for the treatment of cervical dystonia and is recommended as a first-line treatment option for the condition. Eisai obtained exclusive European marketing rights for the drug from U.S.-based Solstice Neurosciences Inc., LLC (a wholly owned subsidiary of US WorldMeds, LLC) who had previously assumed the rights to the drug from Elan, and currently markets the drug in Europe under the brand name NeuroBloc(R). By providing NerBloc as a new treatment option for cervical dystonia in Japan, Eisai aims to make further contributions to patients. In accordance with approval conditions, Eisai will conduct a post-marketing use results survey (all-case surveillance) in all patients who are administered NerBloc until the predetermined number of patients has been reached, in order to promote the effective and safe use of the drug. About Eisai Eisai Co., Ltd. (TSE: 4523; ADR: ESALY) is a research-based human health care (hhc) company that discovers, develops and markets products throughout the world. Eisai focuses its efforts in three therapeutic areas: integrative neuroscience, including neurology and psychiatric medicines; integrative oncology, which encompasses oncotherapy and supportive-care treatments; and vascular/immunological reaction.

At launch some rubberbandng yes but that got fixed so a mild lag in rvr aint actually a failure imho.

Bad client performance, incohesive graphics, massive rubberbanding/atrocious server performance. Craptastic world layout, horrendous PVE. PVP grind was acceptable until you went into the last BG bracket. BGs were good but too many, mostly unfinished and defninitely pumped out at the expense of developing the RVR which while touted as the best ever, was pretty much horrendous and never got finished. There were suppsoed to be like 3 or 4 world combat areas that consisted of huge multimap conquest between faction cities, at launch we only had the 1 and that is probably all there is still. General content lack across the board, get past level 20 in PVE and you are really scraping the barrel, stories and quests are written by monkeys past this point, so is the zone layout.
But worst of all (although pretty good for the average consumer) the infinite free trial let you do everything that was good about WAR, free, forever. And they even changed the battlegrounds once in a while to it stays fresh. There is literally no reason to buy this game. Low level RVR is fantastic.

Just saying that it's not me, it's the game, I doubt people I play with lie to me about it either. You propably just have lower standards than me and many others, or maybe you just think that other non technical stuff is more important in a game. I know people who dont give a crap about graphics, effects, animations etc, could be something like that? :]
Heck, I think TOR is a nice game for what it is even with so much bashing it gets, it runs smooth, very little -animation bugs, -UI lag, -lag overall, no "fake casts", no sliding mobs, no crappy sprite like effects etc, all of that was a problem for many in WAR, and the reason why I stopped playing it with pretty much any friend that tried it with me. Good for you if you didnt have any of that, I envy you tbh :P

I think they could have taken a "Build it organically" approach to Warhammer/40K
Start with a few races with a few classes and slowly build in based off some underlying logic that connects them all and then see how to vary from this bauplan to add flavor/emergent tactics.
Instead they went for the money-spinner approach, which did not earn the amount they hoped but was financially passable albeit not an investor's dream or a player's either.

Today is a good day to Pwn someone
It always puzzles me that people say this game failed for being buggy; in 18 months I can only recall the odd crash.
It had a lot of lovely features, which did get better with time too.
Public quest, mirror classes, various options for leveling; PvP lakes, level tiers, good stealth implimentation; great battlegrounds. Excellent lore and backstory implimentation from GW. Maps and quests, which rarely got you stuck hunting for NCP etc. and a nice dash of humour in places too. Loved the dwarfs in barrels - and the quest to stuff drunk dwarfs in barrels. The Tomb of Knowledge was also a great feature.
Many viable builds of careers, and not bad selection of class (to start with). Generally the balance between damage and duration of fight was excellent. The game responded to tacits, but you could still have a blast just charging around.
Ok, so where did it all go wrong?
Well they didn't learn the fundamental lesson from DAoC = THREE REALMS! Well I would have gone further and had the full eight, plus mercenaries. Much better implimenation of the lore, and something new.
Level 1-11, the best. Then downhill, funamentally they needs a bit more time to make higher levels more addictive; and the zone control and capital city take down just didn't work (in fairness, I think this was uncharted terrority really). Compaired to DAoC realm pride, it just never happened.
Graphics and performance were not bad, but nothing to write home about.
While it was understandable that EA were not into spending more money on the game, it needed alot more development to get it to something addictive, more realms, more content, more classes and more armies.
Ironically, the attempt to develop three pairs of "realms" diluted the experience and rather than produce more gameplay, jsut appear to restrict it. Empire for humans (order) and Greenskins (for distruction) were only the realms to play that had lasting appeal.
But to conclude, the fundamental flaw was the stupid decision to make it a two way fight - simple.

Why did Warhammer Online fail? Where to start...
1. Class Imbalance - Bright Wizards anyone? Even though the classes were heavily mirrored across factions, there were still long lasting imbalances both between mirrored classes as well as between class archtypes. For example, White Lions and Marauders were underpowered for a long time.
2. Lacklustre PvE - Instances and raids were bugged and lacked general polish. In addition, the game provided almost no direction in terms of locating dungeons and finding groups.
3. Improperly designed RvR (aka world PvP) - Keep gate bottlenecks, objective trading, improperly distributed looted, etc made sure that the best content in the game was also incredibly frustrating or boring at times.
4. Excesive CC and AoE - By max level group fights were just fields of AoE damage, AoE heals and AoE CC.
5. Disjointed zones - a lot of the zone layout didn't make sense and the 3 different battlefronts destroyed the feeling that this was actually a world.
6. Faction imbalance - Since capital sieges were the only way of getting the best loot in the game, one faction being steamroleld by the other constantly quickly destroyed player morale.
7. Unfinished content - The game released missing 4 capital cities (which were later completely cut) and 4 classes which were added only months after release.
Overall, the game was simply unfinished. I still believe the game had more time it could have been a very, very good game; the fact is that even with it's multitude of problems I had an incredible amount of fun during sieges and in scenarios (battlegrounds). WAR could have been a PvP'ers heaven had it been executed properly.

Wow, this surprised me. This is the sort of thing that I would write off as nonsense on first glance if it weren't from Robert Freitas, who is legendary for the rigor of his calculations. Here's the bit, from a World Future Society update:
The Issue: Hunger
The number of people on the brink of starvation will likely reach 1.02 billion — or one-sixth of the global population– in 2009, according to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). In the United States, 36.2 million adults and children struggled with hunger at some point during 2007.
The Future: The earth's population is projected to increase by 2.5 billion people in the next four decades, most of these people will be born in the countries that are least able to grow food. Research indicates that these trends could be offset by improved global education among the world's developing populations. Population declines sharply in countries where almost all women can read and where GDP is high. As many as 2/3 of the earth's inhabitants will live in water-stressed area by 2030 and decreasing water supplies will have a direct effect on hunger. Nearly 200 million Africans are facing serious water shortages. That number will climb to 230 million by 2025, according to the United Nations Environment Program. Finding fresh water in Africa is often a huge task, requiring people (mostly women and children) to trek miles to public wells. While the average human requires only about 4 liters of drinking water a day, as much as 5,000 liters of water is needed to produce a person's daily food requirements.
Futurist Fixes
1. The Food Pill. In the future, we may see a type of pill for replacing food, but experts say it likely would not be a simple compound of chemicals. A pill-sized food replacement system would have to be extremely complex because of the sheer difficulty of the task it was being asked to perform, more complex than any simple chemical reaction could be. The most viable solution, according to many futurists, would be a nanorobot food replacement system.
Dr. Robert Freitas, author of the Nanomedicine series and senior research fellow at the Institute for Molecular Manufacturing spoke with FUTURIST magazine senior editor Patrick Tucker about it.
In his books and various writings, Freitas has described several potential food replacement technologies that are somewhat pill-like. The key difference, however, is that instead of containing drug compounds, the capsules would contain thousands of microscopic robots called nanorobots. These would be in the range of a billionth of a meter in size so they could easily fit into a large capsule, though a capsule would not necessarily be the best way to administer them to the body. Also, while these microscopic entities would be called "robots," they would not necessarily be composed of metal or possess circuitry. They would be robotic in that they would be programmed to carry out complex and specific functions in three-dimensional space.
One food replacement Dr. Freitas has described is nuclear powered nanorobots. Here's how these would work: the only reason people eat is to replace the energy they expend walking around, breathing, living life, etc. Like all creatures, we take energy stored in plant or animal matter. Freitas points out that the isotope gadolinium-148 could provide much of the fuel the body needs. But a person can't just eat a radioactive chemical and hope to be healthy, instead he or she would ingest the gadolinium in the form of nanorobots. The gadolinium-powered robots would make sure that the person's body was absorbing the energy safely and consistently. Freitas says the person might still have to take some vitamin or protein supplements but because gadolinium has a half life of 75 years, the person might be able to go for a century or longer without a square meal.
For people who really like eating but don't like what a food-indulgent lifestyle does to their body, Freitas has two other nanobot solutions.
"Nutribots†floating through the bloodstream would allow people to eat virtually anything, a big fatty steak for instance, and experience very limited weight or cholesterol gain. The nutribots would take the fat, excess iron, and anything else that the eater in question did not want absorbed into his or her body and hold onto it. The body would pass the nurtibots, and the excess fat, normally out of the body in the restroom.
A nanobot Dr. Freitas calls a "lipovore" would act like a microscopic cosmetic surgeon, sucking fat cells out of your body and giving off heat, which the body could convert to energy to eat a bit less.
Where can you read more about Robert Freitas' ideas? In the January-February 2010 issue of THE FUTURIST magazine, Freitas lays out his ideas for improving human health through nanotechnology.
Yes, there are many other technologies that could help out better with hunger right now. The most important are the three initiatives singled out by Giving What We Can as being high-leverage intervention points: schistosomiasis control, stopping tuberculosis, and the regular delivery of micronutrient packages. Another is the iodization of salt. How can these stop hunger? Well, the diseases and ill health caused by the absence of these measures is so great that alleviating them will increase the total amount of time that people have available to engage in farming, which in the short term will alleviate hunger more effectively than any direct measure. Delivering food in the form of aid fosters dependence.
Anyway, the summary of Freitas' food bot ideas above seems very limited. I'm sure that Freitas has worked out the design in greater detail. For instance, are the nanobots he is talking about is powered through a radioisotope rather than a nuclear fission plant, and the text doesn't make that clear enough, in my opinion. I wonder — how is it that gadolinium can be broken down into all the nutrients the body needs? Wouldn't a large amount be required, because fueling the chemical reactions of the body requires bulk and mass no matter how you slice it? I am seeing a lot of technical questions and holes in the idea, as it is brusquely presented above. I will email Freitas and ask him to point us to the proper writings.

Would people be happy with an Owings-Parra-Buck package for Dunn?
"Ill kind of have a foot on the back of my own butt. Thats just how I do things. -- Bryan Price, 10/22/2013
"Baseball players are smarter than football players. How often do you see a baseball team penalized for too many men on the field?" ~ Jim Bouton
I miss Adam Dunn.
Great trade for the snakes. It gives them the big bat they need and they have the players to trade. If they can't resign Dunn, they still get 2 comp picks next year.
As for my feelings toward this trade, it's really too hard to say as of right now. My feelings toward Adam Dunn have gone in circles during his tenure as a Red. Over the last year/year and a half, I had really grown to appreciate him more and thought extending him was in the team's best interest. I am a Reds fan more than a Dunn fan and I want what is best for the team. Walt obviously felt that this trade was better for the team and Walt's track record with trades has produced more studs than duds and so I plan to reserve judgment until I at least know who the other players are. It's doubtful we'll be getting 3 studs, but 3 useful players could be a lot more valuable than 1 great player, depending on positions and needs. So, we'll just have to wait and see. I'd have to imagine though that at least 1 (if not 2) of the remaining players are (close to being) major league ready and that's important.
As for those who suggest trading Harang/Arroyo/Phillips too for the sake of "fully rebuilding," I think yes and no on that. As I think someone else suggested, Harang's value is at an all time low right now. I do think he will bounce back and if he starts putting up the numbers and the haul is good, I would have no problem moving him. Again though, not until the time is right. I think Arroyo is definitely worth moving now as he has increased his trade value as of late, but I don'd advocate giving him away or trading for a salary dump. I want a promising prospect or 2 in return. I think I'd hang on to Phillips. He is younger than the other 2 and although his salary starts to get more expensive, he's under control for a while and the money he is making based on his offensive and defensive production relative to his position make him worth keeping around I think. If the team plans to go in the speed/defense direction, getting rid of Phillips would be a bad idea in my opinion.

The reds never cease to amaze.
In 2006 the last time the reds were in 1st place this late in the season. They were in first place for 1 day. Just like this time. They went on to lose 8 out of the next 10 games and never saw first place again.
This time their 4 games on their way to that exact same stat.
Maybe even worse.

Japan Revives Nuclear, Will We?
This post originally appeared on OurEnergyPolicy.org
The Japanese government, which had announced a gradual phase-out of nuclear power by 2040, reversed that position and will instead develop an energy policy "with flexibility, based on tireless verification and re-examination." The country was faced with the difficulty of replacing the 30% of electricity it gets from nuclear energy, and altering an existing strategy that would have seen that number rise to 50%. The reduction in nuclear energy usage would have come through greater reliance on renewable energy, conservation, and the use of fossil fuels, according to the original plan. Although nuclear will remain in the mix, no new official plan has detailed Japan's energy future.
The original decision to reduce reliance on nuclear power was a direct response to the Fukushima disaster of 2012, but those calling for the nuclear phase-out were, in part, reacting to a feeling of mistrust towards the nuclear regulator office. That office was replaced by a new agency after criticism that it had "been drawn into a cozy, collusive relationship with plant operators and had failed to take the necessary steps to prevent a disaster like Fukushima," according to the New York Times. However, the original phase-out plan drew criticism from business groups, who fear an increased cost in energy would reduce their competitiveness, and from communities that host the facilities, which fear a loss of the subsidies and jobs provided by the nuclear plants.
The previously planned nuclear phase-out had already led to an increase in oil imports, and Japan will likely be increasing natural gas imports, including gas from the U.S. The increased reliance on fossil fuels has led to a projected additional 180 million to 210 million tons of carbon emissions this fiscal year compared with 1990, according to Time.
A new national survey in the U.S. shows 65% of respondents favoring the use of nuclear energy as one of the ways to provide electricity in the United States, with 29% opposed. However, despite that apparently favorable opinion, the US nuclear industry faces challenges, including ongoing debates over dealing with nuclear waste, relicensing older plants, and recent power plant accidents.
What lessons might this development teach U.S. policymakers, advocates, and industry? What are the implications of Japan's turnaround for nuclear in the U.S.?

Nathan Wilson says:
The Japanese have not committed to a full-scale nuclear revival yet, but agreeing not to abandon the enormously valuable existing reactor fleet is a good first step.
This is a good time for them to accelerate work on safer new designs, which will be less dependent on operators and regulators doing things right. Gen III designs such as the three 1.38 GWe GE Hitachi/Toshiba ABWR reactors ( http://www.world-nuclear.org/info/inf79.html) already under construction in Japan provide significantly enhanced safety through passive systems.
Japan should also take this opportunity to be a world leader in even safer Gen IV reactors, such as the VHTR (http://www.gen-4.org/Technology/systems/vhtr.htm ) which uses the extremely robust TRISO (high temp graphite based) fuel. The VHTR can extend nuclear power beyond electricity into industrial process heat applications (including hydrogen production), which directly replace imported fossil fuel.
The US will necessarily lag other countries in the nuclear revival, due to our current abundance of cheap natural gas (which is not the case in many, many other countries). But the US can be a leader in the clean energy economy by ramping up our nuclear export business.

"In that case I do wish that the EPA would take Global Warming seriously. A 30% improvement, by 2030, in just the coal burning CO2 emissions is far too little.

text: So i just got back from running my jato for 2 hours straight just re fueling before it shut down. And right before I was coming up we went to a different location because we needed lights and went to start it back up, and nothing it sounded like it was flooded so i turned it on its side and tried starting it. it started and i gave it throttle and then when i went to put it on the ground as soon as the rear wheels hit the ground the engine died. I did this a couple of times and same so i changed the glow plug tried that same problem. So i then looked at my ide screw gap perfect gap then I went to the HSN set that to stock settings tried again nothing. I am thinking my one way bearing is bad? Any ideas would help thanks!

Good bar
By Da Ma
from San Diego, CA
describe yourself Runner
This bar tastes excellent, good nutritional value but it's small and not very filling. This is the reason that it tastes like a candy bar. If you are able to consume the smaller bar and feel full, it is a good choice for you! But if you eat the big bar which contains almost 400 calories, you would have to watch what you eat the rest of the day and concentrate on protein intake for the rest of the day with fewer calories.
Like a diet candy bar with great taste

I use it as a snack between meals. It is the closest thing to a Snickers bar without the calories, carbs or guilt.

Nice size for a snack
Just the right size to be a snack

Home Health Care

I'm looking at buying a home health care business, are there governement loans to help with this since some of their patients are on medicare? If so does anyone know where these loans are listed?
phanio | Contributor | 6/9/2010 - 9:51 am
The government does not necessarily provide direct loans to people or businesses. There are some partner programs they use for rural development and the likes. You could try a SBA loan (these are government guaranteed - not direct loans). Call arounf to your local banks and se who offers these programs and ge their SBA package. Take that to a local SCORE or SBDC and let them help you fill it out. Know that this is a bad lending/financing market and if you don';t have both your personal affairs in order like your credit and debt levels as well as have some equity of your own or significant personal collateral and experience in running a business - this might be a hard sell for you. But, that does not have to stop you. When you find a weakness - look for way to either fix it or over come it.
mrhelpful | Contributor | 6/7/2010 - 2:47 pm
Hi Emory, For any sort of healthcare operation you'll need to have very very robust insurance arrangements, also be sure to check all state and federal compliance matters relating to care for the elderly. If this is a business rather than a no-for-profit then I doubt you'll get a grant, but there may be SBA loan options for you.

Press release from Business Wire
U.S. Workforce Unprepared for New Reality of Workplace Benefits, Survey on Long-Term Disability Reveals
Monday, May 14, 2012
U.S. Workforce Unprepared for New Reality of Workplace Benefits, Survey on Long-Term Disability Reveals09:47 EDT Monday, May 14, 2012 WELLESLEY, Mass. (Business Wire) -- Although medical problems contribute to roughly half of all personal bankruptcies and home foreclosures in the United States, many of the nation's full-time workers have insufficiently planned for the risk of long-term disability, concludes a study released today by the U.S. business group of Sun Life Financial Inc. (NYSE:SLF, TSX:SLF).1 The report ("Will workers in America hope to dodge the bullet, remain blind to the risks, or simply hide? Perceptions, misconceptions, and best practices about long-term disability") stems from a survey of over 2,000 workers across the United States conducted for Sun Life Financial by Kelton Research. The survey results suggest that a significant proportion of the American workforce remains unprepared for the current shift in workplace benefits, as more employers give workers the responsibility to decide whether to purchase group benefits such as disability, life, vision, and dental insurance. "We must educate the U.S. workforce to understand the financial risks of long-term disability and learn best practices to mitigate their risks," said Robert E. Klein, Jr., Vice President of Voluntary Benefits. "If ten couples gather for a barbecue, we estimate that roughly three of them will have a partner who experiences a disability lasting one year or longer during their professional lifetimes." Key findings At least one-third (33%) of surveyed full-time workers lack long-term disability insurance. Over one-third (38%) of workers whose employers offered them the option to pay for group long-term disability insurance declined to buy it, leaving most uninsured. Workers who don't buy group voluntary long-term disability coverage fall into three categories: The Gambler doesn't think the risk justifies the cost of premiums. TheMole hasn't considered the issue and so remains blind to solutions. The Ostrich finds the thought of disability too unpleasant to face. Workers under age fifty, minorities, men, and tech workers are more likely to have purchased long-term disability insurance than other respondents. Many workers don't understand key features of long term disability insurance, and fail to anticipate how a disability may raise monthly living expenses. "Because employers are footing less and less of the overall group insurance bill, workers in our country must take proactive steps to mitigate the financial risk of long-term disability," said Michael E. Shunney, Senior Vice President and General Manager for Sun Life Financial's U.S. Employee Benefits Group Division. "As our survey shows, people don't always think logically when they contemplate their risks. By encouraging workers to learn how to protect themselves and their families against income loss from long-term disability, we hope this survey helps the American workforce plan for more than a lifetime of financial security." About Sun Life Financial Sun Life Financial is a leading international financial services organization providing a diverse range of protection and wealth accumulation products and services to individuals and corporate customers. Chartered in 1865, Sun Life Financial and its partners today have operations in key markets worldwide, including Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Japan, Indonesia, India, China, and Bermuda.

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Caron Butler is in the starting lineup for the Los Angeles Clippers in Game 3 despite breaking his left hand in the opener of their first-round playoff series against the Memphis Grizzlies.
Butler sat out Game 2, which the Grizzles won in Memphis to even the series 1-1.
Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro says the Clippers might have underestimated the veteran forward's toughness.
Butler's left hand is his non-shooting hand.

You only live once, live it with someone that makes you happy!!
Well, let me just say weird things happen to me, nothing that you should be afraid of, but just realize that if we get together, you're in for a ride. One example is a few years ago while I was driving to work my car got an electrical short, caught on fire and no sooner than I got out of my car it was engulfed in flames. Yeah, that was scary! I'm unfortunately a little accident prone too.lol I work at a hospital in OKC where I audit pt charts and work in registration for both the Surgery and Cath lab. I am a morning person no matter how little sleep I get I wake up in a great mood and ready to start the day; however I can stay up late too. I would love to go back to school someday and become an Xray Tech or Sonographer. I like to have fun and I LOVE to laugh! My ideal man would be kind, outgoing, affectionate, secure, and love to laugh too. I enjoy running, fishing, bowling, movies, hanging out with friends, attending sporting events, and I LOVE the Thunder. I am loyal and honest and expect the same in return. I'd rather be with a guy who has big dreams and no money than a guy with no dreams and big money. Truth is, I'm just a nice girl who's looking for some fun and companionship. I love funny guys who can make me laugh until I cry. The right man who not only fascinates me but also brings out the best in me. We push each other to be the greatest people we can be. If you're comfortable in your own skin and aren't afraid to expose your flaws, I'm sure we'll get along fine. Btw, I don't have time, nor do I want to play games, but if you're serious and you want to get to know me or have questions feel free to just ask.

The reward of a thing well done, is to have done it." R.W. Emerson
I know you are out there looking for me. I can't wait to travel, take walks in the park, discuss our interests, and watch a game or two! The attributes I seek are that in myself. Seeking a friend who desires to enjoy life in nature and style, be funny, loves to dance, caring to volunteer, and knows when to just relax. One who communicates his needs and is selfless. One who has insight in getting to know the deeper me, the child in me and vice versa. One who is passionate indoors and compassionate outdoors. One who is willing to explore new ideas and activities. I grew up in a rural area for part of my life and the other lavishly. I have spent years sleeping on a floor and others in a king sized bed. I have dined with diplomats, worked with billionaires and squated to eat with the poor using my hands. I love and enjoy all ranges of socioeconomic life. I respect and appreciate life's dynamics and how it molds us. What we value we perceive yet what we perceive in our hearts, we value! Hoping to be always respected even though not always understood. I'm a nurse who desires to be a professional housewife. How is that? The home is the navel of the soul, cherish it and the world is yours. All my jobs have been in some management capacity. I delegate, cultivate ideas, make changes of improvement, guide others to help themselves. I so desire the role to be reversed in the home. I prefer to have my partner take the lead. How is that? Roles and their effective executions yield successful relationships. Being submissive at times is a form of empowering oneself to listen and learn. My simplest desire, although I am deserving of much more, is to wake up to see my partner next to me, feeling honored, safe and protected. I am very good friends with my ex-husband. Never fought, never argued. How is that you may ask? Would enjoy telling you that journey in my life.
