SOCKS5 was derived from SOCKS which actually means Socket Secure; it is an abbreviation for SOCKetS. A SOCK is an internet protocol that acts as a network packets router through a proxy server between a server and a client. This SOCKS is an Internet Protocol (IP) that allows client-server applications to transparently use a network firewall's services. The only purpose of SOCKS is to transfer from a client's data to a server. With that, anonymity of this proxy type is really evident.
Moreover, there are two versions that came to the market – SOCKS4 and SOCKS5. SOCKS4 is an extension that fixes a common problem. On the other hand, Free SOCKS5 Online Proxies protocol is in RFC 1928 and is an extension of SOCKS4. SOCKS5 proxies support UDP that extends the addressing scheme encompassing V6 IP addresses and domain name. Also, it extends the framework including provisions in generalizing authentication schemes that are believed to be strong. SOCKS5 connects clients by including a list of authentication methods. Client connects and sends a greeting which includes a list of supported authentication methods. It works by choosing one method, yet if a failure response was sent, none of the methods will be accepted. With SOCKS5, several messages are now allowed to be passed between the server and the client but this will depend on the method chosen for authentication.
Free SOCKS5 Online Proxies works at a 5-layer OSI model which is the session and intermediate layers between the presentation and transport layers. Furthermore, SOCKS5 is different from SOCKS4 since the first one is a more advances proxy. Below are the things that made SOCKS5 different from SOCKS4:
– Authentication
– UDP proxy support
– DNS requests through the proxy
Hence, the two, SOCKS4 and SOCKS5, are clearly different. With this comparison, it is obvious that SOCKS5 is way better yet it doesn't mean that version 4 is that bad.

Globetrotters/The Townhouse
Ideally situated just a two-minute walk from the main street in Dublin (O'Connell Street), the hostel building itself is very famous.
It's 200 years old and was once the home of famous poets and playwrights Mr. Dion Boucicault and Lafcadio Hearne (Koizumi Yakumo). We've gone to great lengths to restore the buildings and the hostel still maintains the character of years gone by.
We have single, twin, double and triple 'Townhouse' rooms available. All rooms have cable TV, telephones and tea/coffee makers. Please note some triple rooms have a double bed and a single bed.
Our specially-designed 'Globetrotter' dormitories can accommodate 6, 8, 10 or 12 people. All dorms have en-suite showers and toilets as well as comfortable pine bunk beds which are custom-designed for us. Each bed has a reading light and the bed linen is professionally laundered daily. Continental quilts are also included which have been said to be cosy in winter and refreshingly cool in the summertime.
We open the kitchen to our guests to allow them to cook their own meals between 3pm and 9pm.
There is a free left-luggage facility. Safety deposit boxes are also available for a small charge. The Breakfast Room overlooks a wonderful Japanese garden in which you are also able to enjoy an outdoor picnic should you desire.
Most tourist attractions are within walking distance from here, including Trinity College, the National Art Gallery, museums, etc. The central bus station ('Busaras') and Connolly train station are just around the corner from us. As if all of this wasn't enough, the airport bus stops right outside our door!
Please note that children under 16 must be booked into private family rooms and are not permitted in shared accommodation.

Mini Optical Mouse for Laptops… So Long, Touchpad!
Filed under: Computer Accessories, Gadgets
Not too long ago, I made the transition from desktop to laptop, and for the most part, it's been great. The laptop is much smaller, leaves me with more space, and I can pick it up and take it with me whenever (and wherever) I want to. The only time that I miss my old desktop PC is when I'm having a really mouse-heavy day – man, can that touchpad get tedious. It works fine, so I can't complain about that, but like many others out there (you, perhaps?), I'm sort of hardwired to use a regular mouse. In the sort of way that when I have to, say, navigate to and click on a few hundred links, I can start to feel a little fried.
That's why I'm planning to get my hands on this little number in the very near future. The Mini Optical Mouse. It's tiny, cute, and unlike the old roller-ball mouse that I used to wrestle with (sound familiar?), it uses optical laser technology that doesn't jam up on you. Oh, and one more thing – its cord is also retractable, so everything packs up nice and easy when it's time to ready the old laptop bag for an adventure.
I have a friend who's quite the business jet-setter, and she swears by this thing. She does an awful lot of work perched at hotel room desks and airport laptop stations, but having the Mini Optical Mouse along for the ride helps her hit a level of productivity that's much more on par with a regular day at the office. The faster she can work on the road, the less time she has to spend slogging through backlogged e-mails and reports when she's back in the office. I'd shell out $30 for that.

Joe Brewster placed eighth
Day 1 Recap
Brance Simms (133) and Joe Brewster (165) both advanced, but took different paths to day two.
Simms opened the day with a first-round loss to Chasen Tolbert (Utah Valley) by 12-2 major decision. Simms rallied, however, winning three-straight matches by decision. Frist, he knocked off Charles Costanzo (Army) 6-2, the most points scored by either Simms or his opponent during the streak. Next, he edged Esteban Gomez-Rivera (American) 3-1. Simms completed his day by topping Western Wrestling Conference foe Kasey Garnhart (Wyoming) 4-1.
Simms faces Joshua Rodriguez (North Dakota State) in the consolation bracket.
Brewster advanced in conventional fashion, scoring two-straight decisions in the championship bracket. Brewster beat Alex Elder (Oregon State) by a single point, 4-3. In the second round, he needed an extra period to score a 3-1 win versus Isaiah Jimenez (San Francisco State).
Brewster faces Caleb Marsh (Kent State) in the consolation bracket.
Dustin Walraven (149) and Cody Pack (157) were both first-round winners, but dropped matches to ranked opponents in the second round.
"Overall, I am a bit disappointed with what went on today," head coach Chris Bono said. "We still have a lot of work to do. We have a chance to place two guys tomorrow, which is exciting, but we had a couple injuries and did not weigh in one guy. I am pleased with the effort and the fight, but it is time to start posting some results. Hopefully tomorrow we can get two guys to place and finish the tournament strong."

As you might expect from a city famous for its canals, water is the main medium of transport in Venice. Water buses, known as Vaporetti, ply the Grand Canal and make scheduled stops. The Vaporetti are a far cheaper way to get around Venice than the famous gondolas, piloted by stripe-shirted gondoliers, who for an extra fee will serenade passengers. Travelling down the Grand Canal is obligatory but the Vaporetti are well-suited for this purpose. Once ashore the only way to explore is on foot, through the narrow alleys and lively squares; there are no cars at all in Venice. Make sure you have a good map as the city can be confusingly labyrinthine.
GMT +1 (GMT +2 between the last Sunday in March and the last Sunday in October).
Electrical current in Italy is 230 volts, 50Hz. A variety of plugs are in use, including the European-style two-pin plug.
The Euro (EUR) is the official currency, which is divided into 100 cents. Those arriving in Italy with foreign currency can obtain Euros through any bank, ATM or bureaux de change. ATMs are widespread. Credit cards are accepted in upmarket establishments and shops around the cities. Banks are closed on weekends, but tend to have better rates than casas de cambios.
The international access code for Italy is +39. There can be high surcharges on calls made from hotels and it is generally cheaper to use a calling card. Public telephone boxes take phone cards for local and international calls, which can be bought from newsagents. The local mobile phone operators use GSM networks and have roaming agreements with most international operators. Internet cafes are available in the main towns and resorts.

Temperatures in summer (June to August) usually range between 86°F and 91°F (30°C-33°C), dropping in winter (December to February) to between 32°F and 37°F (0°C-3°C). Venice often experiences thunderstorms and rain showers which, particularly in spring and autumn, tend to cause flooding. It is best to pack waterproof shoes or boots to avoid a soaking in these seasonal floods. Spring, summer and autumn are all considered peak tourist season, with April to October being the busiest. However, it is a popular destination all year round and can get uncomfortably crowded.
Buses go to the Venice-Santa Lucia railway station, via Piazzale Roma, every 20 minutes. The ATVO FlyBus and ACTV buses leave regularly for the Piazzale Roma and Mestre Railroad station, including a few night buses. The Alilaguna boats are a faster way into central Venice. The dock is a 5-10 minute walk from the airport.
Car hire companies with offices at the airport include Europa, Maggiore, Sixt, Avis, Europcar, Hertz, Thrifty, Locauto and Budget.
Both regular and water taxis are available from the airport. An authorised (yellow) taxi cab to the city centre takes between 40 minutes and an hour.
Facilities at the airport include ATMs, currency exchange facilities, a post office, banks, a tax-free customs service, VIP lounges, a business centre, a prayer room, information desks, travel agencies, baby-changing facilities, a family area, a spa and first aid facilities. There are also a range of shopping and dining options.
Short-term parking is available in P1 and P2 and starts at €6 for the first two hours or €9 for the first six hours. Long-term options are available in car parks 3, 4 and 5 and range from €4.50 per day to €18per day depending upon season and parking lot. All parking lots are within easy walking distance of the terminal.
Wifi is available, with free access to the airport's website.

DUKE IT OUT I AM WRITING IN MY CAPACITY AS counsel for Randall "Duke" Cunningham in regard to Kitty Kelley's article ("Ace in the Hole," August 28). I was unavailable due to professional commitments when I was contacted by Ms. Kelley; it is disturbing that your magazine would print this story before providing Cunningham or his counsel an adequate opportunity to speak with your publication regarding the particulars of her story. As a consequence, your story omitted certain key facts that I suspect your readers would have wanted to know.

Comments about Perri's 2.5" Soft Leather Padded Deluxe Guitar Strap:
This is my first padded strap. Seems to be of good quality. I'll definitely post any short comings I find if anything major.
Comments about Perri's 2.5" Soft Leather Padded Deluxe Guitar Strap:
I would buy this strap again for another guitar in my collection.
A very attractive and comfortable leather strap. I purchased this strap to match the color of my Fender Telecaster guitar and it's perfect. The strap is well made and makes playing the guitar over extended periods much more comfortable. I thought the price was very reasonable.
Very well made and the leather quality is very nice. The padded strap makes the guitar much more comfortable to play.
In my internet searching, this seemed the best dollar value for a padded leather guitar strap.
Comments about Perri's 2.5" Soft Leather Padded Deluxe Guitar Strap:
I have used this strap in rehearsal and in home practice and am so pleased that I will probably outfit my other guitars. The assistance with "neck drop" was great and an unexpected bonus feature and the comfort for long periods of use is "well worth a look."
The strap was somewhat difficult to get on either my Epi Les Paul or Fender MIM Tele, but this gave me a secure feeling that the instrument was not going to fall off under normal rehearsal/stage conditions. I have not installed the strap locks yet, although I can see this to be a chore and once done will become almost bullet proof. The inner lining also reduced the dreaded "neck drop" on both guitars while wearing either a T-shirt or dress shirt with no cloth bundle or wrinkling at the shoulder.
The strap was well constructed with only a small blemish in one part the finish. The stitching is even and well done with a nice contrasting color. I can see this strap lasting for a long time and only looking better with age.
You get what you pay for and this strap is a good investment for your favorite instrument. This strap is well in line with other top companies and even more so when you add the "wrinkle" factor. i gave this a 10 for value.
Comments about Perri's 2.5" Soft Leather Padded Deluxe Guitar Strap:
This strap is only about 10% real leather at best; the rest is some sort of weak foam. I could pull the strap in two with medium effort. The layers of fake leather foam sheeting are "pilly" and almost feel rotten, and they were de-laminating right out of the box. The stitching is uneven. I'm certain that this strap would break under the weight of an electric guitar in 3 months of playing or less. Ultimately, I would not grab this strap if it were in a "free" bin outside a local music store. I honestly have not seen a worse strap in my life. I'm sending it back.
Comments about Perri's 2.5" Soft Leather Padded Deluxe Guitar Strap:
The title says it all...This strap is a good length, soft, and well constructed. It's very comfortable, and really does reduce shoulder fatigue. The padding is about 1/4" thick, so it's not overly bulky, however it does bring the width of the strap out to 3 1/4" anywhere that it's padded. I'm 6'1", and wear my guitar with the center right around my belt line, and this strap still has room to go lower by a good 4"-5". The holes are really small and tight, so fitting strap locks onto this thing is a bit of a bear, but certainly not impossible. However, that also means that if you aren't using strap locks, this thing will be a lot less likely to pop loose. Overall, the quality and design are top-notch.The price is not far off of other premium straps, and basically justified by the quality, but still high. So, if you don't mind dropping a little extra cash, I would highly recommend this strap. Otherwise, you can probably find something that fits your needs, without being quite as polished, for a more reasonable price.
Comments about Perri's 2.5" Soft Leather Padded Deluxe Guitar Strap:
My old strap was cutting into my shoulder when I played my Les Paul, so I knew I wanted a wide strap. I saw one of these in a local store and I knew the wideness and the padding(!) would help out so I got it. It really helped out a lot. My guitar feels 5 pounds lighter!
Comments about Perri's 2.5" Soft Leather Padded Deluxe Guitar Strap:
You'll never have to worry about its security and the comfort is amazing. The price is a bit much but it's worth it. Features, not much beyond making you feel like your guitar is apart of you.

The Los Alamos boys swimming team came up big in its season opener Saturday.
Los Alamos finished second at the Peter B. Barney Relays at Albuquerque Academy. Los Alamos earned 90 points to grab the runner-up spot.
Both the Hilltopper boys and girls teams had their season opener Saturday in the meet, hosted by Academy's Chargers, the top boys and girls program in New Mexico history. For their part, Los Alamos' girls finished third in the meet, picking up 66 team points.
Los Alamos' boys won the 400-yard individual medley relay — all events at the Barney meet are relay events. The team of Sam Harris, Max Reidys, Nick Greenfield and Trey Pereya posted a time of 4:12.96 to earn the win in that event.
Along with that victory, Los Alamos also two second-place finishes (200 back relay and 200 medley relay) and the team of Maria Venneri, Ashlynn Bennet, Reidys and Harris were second in the mixed 400 medley relay.
For Los Alamos' girls, they took second in the 200 freestyle relay, 400 individual medley relay and 200 medley relay. Both the 200 freestyle (1:48.70) and 200 medley relays (2:02.92) earned the Hilltoppers state qualifying times.

I was wondering if anybody on here had ever tried these tablets, do they really work the wonders that they promise?
They claim that it gets to the root cause of acne, instead of just treating it on the surface.
Its quite expensive, so I want to make sure its worth it before buying.
I'll try anything at this point! (except banging my face against a brick wall...)

MASSENA - The U.S. Postal Services recently announced plans to end Saturday mail deliveries has worried some north country residents who rely on the 237-year-old institution for payings their bills and sending correspondence.
After losing $16 billion last year, the Postal Service announced Wednesday they will no longer deliver mail on Saturdays, which is projected to save the federal agency approximately $2 billion per year. The Postal Service will still deliver packages six days per week and will not change their operating hours, allowing residents with P.O. Boxes to still pick up their mail Saturdays at the post office. The agency says they will eliminate Saturday deliveries from letter carriers and rural letter carriers starting Aug. 1.
Potsdam resident Lelah Edick is concerned ending Saturday deliveries will interfere with her ability to pay her bills on time.
At the beginning of the month I might have to adjust how I pay my bills, Ms. Edick said. It might make some of my payments late (because of the change).
Massena resident James J. Jandrew isnt too concerned about the end of Saturday mail deliver, because he has a P.O. Box at the Massena Post Office. But he believes the cut may impact some elderly persons who havent made the transition to online banking, billing and correspondence. If I had letters delivered (to my home), it would affect me, Mr. Jandrew said.
Others see the cut as a natural, necessary step for the cash-strapped Postal Service during these times of economic uncertainty and transition toward paperless, online services.
I dont like it, but they have to do what they have to do, Massena resident Ross Violi said.
Loreen E. Dow of Massena sees the service cut as a sensible move, since most federal and local government offices are closed Saturday as well.
Others are concerned about the loss of more public empoyment positions. According to www.usps.com, the Postal Service currently employs approximately 550,000 people, though in recent years has made cuts to personnel, offices and hours to cope with billion-dollar annual losses.
Some residents wouldnt mind a cancelation of Saturday mail delivery, noting there are a wide variety of electronic methods for correspondence and bill payment.
You just have to plan ahead more. You can pay your bills over the phone or do it online, Potsdam resident Jean M. Stoian said. Sometimes I let my mail sit here (in my P.O. Box) for a couple days anyway.

NEWPORT–The 2013 North Country baseball team is going back to the basics.
Coach Brian Bonvechio's crew will look to get back to the fundamentals of America's favorite pastime as they prepare to face Vermont's top players in the ever tough Metro Division.
"This year we mad a real commitment to improving our defense, as well as our pitching staff," Bonvechio said. "We would like to think we are about five pitchers deep, and although we don't have a lot of depth, we are pretty strong defensively, we have a lot of speed and a little bit of pop in the middle of the order.
"The hard part will be that there is a lot of kids moving right up from the JV level."
The season kicks off for the Falcons on Tuesday, April 16th when they travel to Lyndon to take on the Vikings.
First pitch is at 4:30.
For the full story, see the Express on Friday 4-5-13.

I have this following sentence:
There are a few questions I came up with about this sentence:
- The first part of the sentence is:
横線―――HPバーの名で呼ばれる青いそれ, my question is how can this sentence be parsed? How does the long
―――change the meaning/parsing of the sentence?
- At the end of the sentence, it is written:
可視化したもの. Why is
可視化したused in past form, while according to the context I'd expect a present-form? Is this perhaps a grammar subject I just don't know yet?
For the context (and the context only), the translation of the book can be found in this link.
However, the translation is not literal which doesn't really help me understand and solve my questions by myself.
Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

Baby ear piercing isn't for everyone and is more of a personal family decision than a societal one. Sure, popping studs in your lil one's ears helps define her as a girl, but you could also toss on a pink headband or dress her in head-to-toe pastels. There are several areas of the world where piercing an infant's ears happens before they even head home from the hospital. So why does the idea of baby ear piercing still cause some mamas to cringe?
If you do chose to bling your baby, pediatricians suggest waiting until after your child has had her DPT shots (diphtheria, pertussis, and tetanus) and working with a reputable salon that has experience piercing infant's ears — or having your pediatrician do it. Select small studs that nestle in the lobe so tender ears won't get snagged while putting on and taking off clothing. And be prepared to properly care for the piercings with daily cleanings and turning of the posts.
What do you think? Baby ear piercing — yea or nay?

Kidney and Urologic Diseases
There are many organizations who provide support for patients and medical professionals. View the full list of Kidney and Urologic Disease Organizations. (PDF, 345 KB)
On this page:
Amyloidosis is a rare disease that occurs when amyloid proteins are deposited in tissues and organs. Amyloid proteins are abnormal proteins that the body cannot break down and recycle, as it does with normal proteins. When amyloid proteins clump together, they form amyloid deposits. The buildup of these deposits damages a person's organs and tissues. Amyloidosis can affect different organs and tissues in different people and can affect more than one organ at the same time. Amyloidosis most frequently affects the kidneys, heart, nervous system, liver, and digestive tract. The symptoms and severity of amyloidosis depend on the organs and tissues affected.
The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs, each about the size of a fist. They are located just below the rib cage, one on each side of the spine. Every day, the two kidneys filter about 120 to 150 quarts of blood to produce about 1 to 2 quarts of urine, composed of wastes and extra fluid. The urine flows from the kidneys to the bladder through tubes called ureters. The bladder stores urine. When the bladder empties, urine flows out of the body through a tube called the urethra, located at the bottom of the bladder. In men, the urethra is long, while in women it is short.
The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs, each about the size of a fist.
Primary amyloidosis and dialysis-related amyloidosis are the types of amyloidosis that can affect the kidneys.
The kidneys are the organs most commonly affected by primary amyloidosis. Amyloid deposits damage the kidneys and make it harder for them to filter wastes and break down proteins. When the kidneys become too damaged, they may no longer be able to function well enough to maintain health, resulting in kidney failure. Kidney failure can lead to problems such as high blood pressure, bone disease, and anemia—a condition in which the body has fewer red blood cells than normal.
People who suffer from kidney failure and have been on long-term dialysis may develop dialysis-related amyloidosis. This type of amyloidosis occurs when a certain protein, called beta-2 microglobulin, builds up in the blood because dialysis does not remove it completely. The two types of dialysis are
Dialysis-related amyloidosis is a complication of kidney failure because neither hemodialysis nor peritoneal dialysis effectively filters beta-2 microglobulin from the blood. As a result, elevated amounts of beta-2 microglobulin remain in the blood. Dialysis-related amyloidosis is relatively common in people with kidney failure, especially adults older than 60 years of age, who have been on dialysis for more than 5 years.1

The most common sign of primary amyloidosis of the kidneys is nephrotic syndrome––a collection of signs that indicate kidney damage. The signs of nephrotic syndrome include

Other signs and symptoms of primary amyloidosis may include
The symptoms of dialysis-related amyloidosis may include
Dialysis-related amyloidosis most often affects bones, joints, and the tissues that connect muscle to bone, called tendons. The disease may also affect the digestive tract and organs such as the heart and lungs. Bone cysts caused by dialysis-related amyloidosis can lead to bone fractures. Dialysis-related amyloidosis can also cause tears in tendons and ligaments. Ligaments are tissues that connect bones to other bones.
A health care provider diagnoses primary amyloidosis of the kidneys with
Taking a medical and family history may help a health care provider diagnose amyloidosis of the kidneys. He or she will ask the patient to provide a medical and family history.
A physical exam may help diagnose primary amyloidosis of the kidneys. During a physical exam, a health care provider usually
A health care provider may use urinalysis—the testing of a urine sample—to check for albumin and amyloid proteins in urine. The patient provides a urine sample in a special container at a health care provider's office or a commercial facility. A nurse or technician can test the sample in the same location or send it to a lab for analysis. More-than-normal amounts of albumin in urine may indicate kidney damage due to primary amyloidosis. Amyloid proteins in urine may indicate amyloidosis.
The health care provider may use blood tests to see how well the kidneys are working and to check for amyloid proteins and hyperlipidemia. A blood test involves drawing a patient's blood at a health care provider's office or a commercial facility and sending the sample to a lab for analysis. Blood tests for kidney function measure the waste products in the blood that healthy kidneys normally filter out. Hyperlipidemia may indicate nephrotic syndrome. Amyloid proteins in blood may indicate amyloidosis.
Only a biopsy can show the amyloid protein deposits in the kidneys. A health care provider may recommend a kidney biopsy if other tests show kidney damage. A kidney biopsy is a procedure that involves taking a piece of kidney tissue for examination with a microscope. A health care provider performs a kidney biopsy in a hospital with light sedation and local anesthetic. The health care provider uses imaging techniques such as ultrasound or a computerized tomography (CT) scan to guide the biopsy needle into the kidney and take the tissue sample. A pathologist—a doctor who specializes in diagnosing diseases––examines the tissue in a lab for amyloid proteins and kidney damage.
The biopsy results can help the health care provider determine the best course of treatment. Read more in Kidney Biopsy.
A health care provider diagnoses dialysis-related amyloidosis with
A health care provider can use urinalysis and blood tests to detect the amount of amyloid proteins in urine and blood. Imaging tests, such as x-rays and CT scans, can provide pictures of bone cysts and amyloid deposits in bones, joints, tendons, and ligaments. An x-ray technician performs imaging tests in a health care provider's office, an outpatient center, or a hospital. A radiologist—a doctor who specializes in medical imaging—interprets the images. A patient does not require anesthesia.

A health care provider treats primary amyloidosis of the kidneys with the following:
Medication therapy. The goal of medication therapy, including chemotherapy, is to reduce amyloid protein levels in the blood. Many health care providers recommend combination medication therapy such as
These medications can stop the growth of the cells that make amyloid proteins. These medications may cause hair loss and serious side effects, such as nausea, vomiting, and fatigue.
Stem cell transplant. A stem cell transplant is a procedure that replaces a patient's damaged stem cells with healthy ones. Stem cells are found in the bone marrow and develop into three types of blood cells the body needs. To prepare for a stem cell transplant, the patient receives high doses of chemotherapy. The actual transplant is like a blood transfusion. The transplanted stem cells travel to the bone marrow to make healthy new blood cells. The chemotherapy a patient receives to prepare for the transplant can have serious side effects, so it is important to talk with the health care provider about the risks of this procedure.

The goal of medication therapy and the use of newer, more effective hemodialysis filters is to reduce amyloid protein levels in the blood. Medication therapy can help reduce symptoms such as pain and inflammation. A health care provider may treat a person with dialysis-related amyloidosis who has bone, joint, and tendon problems, such as bone cysts and carpal tunnel syndrome, using surgery.
Dialysis-related amyloidosis has no cure; however, a successful kidney transplant may stop the disease from progressing.

Researchers have not found that eating, diet, and nutrition play a role in causing or preventing primary amyloidosis of the kidneys or dialysis-related amyloidosis. People with nephrotic syndrome may make dietary changes such as
Health care providers may recommend that people with kidney disease eat moderate or reduced amounts of protein. Proteins break down into waste products that the kidneys filter from the blood. Eating more protein than the body needs may burden the kidneys and cause kidney function to decline faster. However, protein intake that is too low may lead to malnutrition, a condition that occurs when the body does not get enough nutrients.
People with kidney disease on a restricted protein diet should receive blood tests that can show low nutrient levels. People with primary amyloidosis of the kidneys or dialysis-related amyloidosis should talk with a health care provider about dietary restrictions to best manage their individual needs.
The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) conducts and supports a variety of research in kidney diseases and urinary tract disorders. The knowledge gained from these studies is advancing scientific understanding of why kidney diseases and urinary tract disorders develop, leading to improved methods of diagnosing, treating, and preventing them.
Clinical trials are research studies involving people. Clinical trials look at safe and effective new ways to prevent, detect, or treat disease. Researchers also use clinical trials to look at other aspects of care, such as improving the quality of life for people with chronic illnesses.

Wednesday, November 12, 2008BUIES CREEK, N.C. - Award winners Miguel DaSilva and Garret Pettis were not able to receive their conference awards at the Atlantic Sun banquet.
The team bus and an automobile were involved in a minor accident. By the time the police had filed their reports, it was too late to attend the banquet. Lipscomb Bisons coach Charles Morrow had to find an alternate location for his team to eat lunch.
Wearing of the white: During the NCAA baseball regional at Athens, Ga., this past season the Bisons made news by donning white shoes for the first time.
While not as dramatic a change, the Bisons soccer team dressed in long-sleeved white jerseys for the first time this season in the 2-1 win over Mercer at the Eakes Athletic Complex on the Campbell University campus Wednesday. They had worn white before, but this was the first time they had worn long sleeves.
The change in uniforms was timely. The temperature was in the 50s to start the game and slipped into the 40s after the sun went down.
It's all about the shoes: Speaking of shoes, sophomore forward Miguel DaSilva has been wearing orange shoes all season. Freshman forward Garret Pettis has joined DaSilva in the fashion statement. They must work since they are the two leading scorers on the team.
DaSilva wears the colorful footwear in every game. Pettis usually saves his orange shoes for Sunday games, but decided to break them out for the tournament opener.
Page visits: Ben Page, a former record-setting forward for the Bisons, visited with the team before the Mercer game and stayed to watch the quarterfinal performance. He He played this past season for the Charlotte Eagles in pro soccer. He is also an assistant coach at Southern Wesleyan University, an NAIA school near Clemson, S.C.
Page and DaSilva are the only members of the Bisons' soccer team to earn First Team honors on the A-Sun All-Conference team. Pettis and DaSilva are the only Bisons' players to be unanimous selections to the A-Sun All-Freshman Team.

It's two stars in the same beautiful (but, seasonally inappropriate) dress – so who wore it better?
Olivia Munn donned the Valentino Resort 2012 dress to the 8th Annual Pink Party in Los Angeles on Saturday. She finished her look with tan Valentino Rockstud pumps and styled her hair up parted down the middle.
We love the dress but Munn must have missed the memo that floral prints are typically designated to spring and summer styles ... and that wasn't her only fashion faux pas!
Fellow fashion offender, Christina Ricci, wore the dress first back in September to the Elle Fashion Next Runway Show during the Spring 2012 Fashion Week in New York City. Ricci completed her outfit with black pumps and likewise wore her hair in an updo.
Even though we're not fans of Ricci's black heels with the summery dress, we think the Valentino ensemble fits her much better than Olivia (we just wish she had her shoes too!).
Who do you think wore it better? Sound off below and click "Launch Gallery" above to see all the stars in dueling dresses.

Jordan Tuwiner wrote:Do you see saves as a good way to evaluate and determine a reliever's value?
Partially yes. I think it's a big indicator because you are paying someone to close out a game and preserve a win. So in that regard, I'm looking at blown saves as well

Born in Los Angeles just before the dawn of Y2K hype, Joey King displayed such charm and talent as a child that her parents began fielding TV commercial offers for her. After appearing in over 100 ads, in 2006 King transitioned to TV with a cameo role on "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody," and appeared in the short film "Grace" as a young girl who slowly brings a suicidal widow back from the brink. A string of roles on TV shows such as the apocalyptic drama "Jericho" (CBS, 2006-08) and HBO's show-business dramedy "Entourage" (2004-2011) upped her visibility and showcased her range.

Conservatives often argue that government is inefficient and loves to waste money. Now, they are getting a look at what it looks like when government gets involved in the manufacturing sector.
Workers at a heavily taxpayer-funded battery plant that cost about $300 million spend most of their time not churning out expensive lithium-ion batteries for Chevy Volts, but rather playing cards, reading magazines and cleaning the building.
Investigators from Wood 8 TV reporting in Holland, Mich., found that many taxpayer-funded workers at LG Chem spend much of their time doing absolutely nothing.
"There would be up to 40 of us that would just sit in there during the day," former LG Chem employee Nicole Merryman, who quit in May, told the news station.
The plant was made possible by $151 million provided by President Barack Obama's stimulus bill; and of its 200 employees, 100 are paid for through the grant. So far, according to the news channel, $133 million of the grant money has already been spent; about 40 percent went to foreign companies.
In recent months, while many of the taxpayer-funded employees have become tired of sitting idle, they have reportedly taken to doing volunteer projects throughout the local community while on company time.

In this BrainPOP movie on body scans, Tim and Moby introduce you to three devices that have revolutionized the way that doctors make their diagnoses. You'll learn what a CT scan is, how it works, and how doctors can use it to examine almost any part of the human body. You'll also find out about magnetic resonance imaging, why an MRI machine is like a giant magnet, and how it can record images from virtually any angle. Plus you'll learn about PET scans, which trace radioactive chemicals in your body. You'll see when and how doctors use these tools, and the advantages and disadvantages of each one. There's a lot to learn about this topic, so click on the movie and get started!
