Nutritional supplements have been around for a long time. For example, the two oldest companies that currently service our profession are Anabolic Laboratories and Standard Process. Each was family owned some 80 years ago and they remain that way today.
As a child, some 35 years ago, I walked into a health food store for the first time. Supplements and various foods were everywhere, and it occurred to me that taking supplements might be a good idea, particularly if one's diet was not optimal. There was no data to support this view back then, and the oppositional view actually dominated. Accordingly, for most of the past 80 years, nutritional supplements have been characterized as a waste of money, which can only lead to the elimination of expensive urine.
Only within the last ten years has this "anti-supplement" view begun to change. And now, because supplements are generally viewed with more favor, a significant number of people are wondering what supplements they should take. Who are they going to ask? They are likely to ask you, the chiropractor, because they expect you to be more aware of the nutritional research, compared to their medical doctor.
First, I should indicate that very little information suggests that a given disease entity can be treated with a supplement, which then leads to a subsequent cure. Those of us living in the United States and other industrialized nations are dying from chronic degenerative/inflammatory diseases, and drugs don't cure degenerative diseases, and neither do supplements. Degenerative diseases are driven by inappropriate lifestyles, which are typically associated with poor dietary habits and inadequate levels of exercise. All our patients should endeavor to eat properly and exercise everyday; and there are several appropriate supplements that support this effort.
I take a multivitamin/mineral, magnesium/calcium, EPA/DHA, coenzyme Q10, anti-inflammatory herbs (ginger, turmeric, etc.), vitamin D, acetyl-L-carnitine, lipoic acid, glucosamine/chondroitin, and probiotics. A brief explanation for why I take these follows in the remaining paragraphs.
Multivitamins are recommended by researchers at Harvard University (Fletcher and Willet), as well as Dr. Bruce Ames(famous toxicologist), and this is because they are thought to help prevent the development of degenerative disease. Multivitamin/mineral supplements typically contain all the key nutrients that we get from food.
Magnesium is required for over 300 metabolic reactions. Research suggests that, when we become deficient in magnesium, we destabilize the immune and nervous systems, which can lead to inflammation and nervous system hyperexcitability. Numerous diseases have been associated with magnesium deficiency, such as heart disease, syndrome X, type 2 diabetes, and migraine headaches. I take 400-1000 mg, in addition to what is in my multi.
EPA/DHA from fish oil reduces inflammation and is thought to help prevent and treat numerous diseases, such as cancer, heart disease, inflammatory bowel disease, and inflammatory joint disease. Supplementation has been shown to reduce the levels of inflammatory mediators, such as prostaglandins, leukotrienes, thromboxanes, growth factors, and cytokines. I take 1-3 grams per day.
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) has become very popular in recent years. CoQ10 functions primarily to produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate), reduce free radicals, and to regulate skeletal muscle gene expression. Nearly every disease studied has been show to be associated with a reduction in ATP and an increase in free radicals, so I take at least 100 mg per day.
Ginger, turmeric, and other botanicals/herbs/spices function like natural versions of drugs like Advil and Celebrex, without any of the side effects. Spices have been shown to reduce NF-kB, cyclooxygenase, and lipoxygenase, which helps to reduce inflammation. I take 1-2 grams per day.
Garlic is perhaps the most well-known herb for reducing inflammation. It is most noted for its heart benefits; and what readers should know is that these benefits are due to garlic's anti-inflammatory activities. I supplement with garlic to achieve at least 5 mg of allicin per day.
Vitamin D has become the subject of much research in recent years, as it is known to have important cell-signaling functions. Numerous diseases are thought to be promoted by a deficiency in vitamin D, such as osteoporosis, heart disease, and cancer. Even musculoskeletal pain can be caused by a deficiency in vitamin D. I take 1000-4000 IU of vitamin D per day.
Acetyl-L-carnitine (ALCAR) and alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) have become popular supplements due to the work of Dr. Bruce Ames. He and his colleagues have demonstrated that aging can be slowed or reversed in laboratory animals with these supplements. Ames suggests that humans take 1000 mg of ALCAR and 400 mg of ALA per day, in divided doses, which is what I take. The combination of these substances promotes ATP synthesis and reduces free radicals.
Glucosamine sulfate and chondroitin sulfate are known to be of help with osteoarthritis. Their primary effect is to help maintain proteoglycans integrity. I take 1500 mg of glucosamine and 1200 mg of chondroitin per day.
Probiotic supplements typically include lactobacillus acidophilus and bifidobacterium, which have been shown to improve gut health and function. I cycle the use of probiotics during the year. I typically will take probiotics 3-6 months per year.
I take the above, in addition to trying to eat an anti-inflammatory diet. My hope is that the combination will allow me to live well into my 80's or 90's, and maintain the current personal and professional lifestyle I enjoy. I recently met an ex-NIH official who spent most of his career reviewing research grants. He is an MD, PhD and is about 65 years old…lean, healthy, and very sharp-witted. He now runs a privately funded anti-aging research center; and he takes similar supplements to the ones I suggest and for the same reasons outlined above.
The intriguing aspect to anti-inflammatory eating and supplementation is that, no matter if you are symptom-free or sick, the same approach should be taken. Deflaming is the goal, and those with chronic degenerative/inflammatory diseases need to be especially vigilant and committed in their efforts.

Much of anti-aging medicine is currently focused on hormonal replacement, especially those hormones that decrease with aging. However, relatively little attention is placed on reducing the levels of hormones that increase with aging. In particular, the hormones associated with increased systemic inflammation are elevated levels of insulin and eicosanoids. The primary cause of the rise of these hormones is due to a condition known as metabolic syndrome that is ultimately caused by the diet. Thus, a more appropriate description of anti-aging medicine would be anti-inflammatory medicine and, therefore, frontline therapy for anti-aging becomes diet.
Description of Metabolic Syndrome
Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of chronic conditions associated with hyperinsulinemia. These include obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension. Since hyperinsulinemia is caused by insulin resistance, a better choice of terms to describe metabolic syndrome might be insulin resistance syndrome.
Description of Insulin Resitance
Insulin resistance occurs when insulin is unable to transmit its hormonal signal to the interior of the cell. This occurs when the insulin binds to its receptor on the cell surface; but the transmission of biochemical signals that normally result from insulin's binding to its receptor is now degraded. The result is that there is a decreased ability to remove excess blood glucose from the bloodstream.
The signal to release insulin from the pancreas is elevated blood glucose; the inability to reduce blood glucose levels due to insulin resistance forces the pancreas to secrete ever-higher levels of insulin creating hyperinsulinemia. Since insulin receptors are found in the liver, smooth muscle, and adipose tissues, the consequence of abnormal insulin signaling can have widespread negative metabolic consequences.
Although the exact cause of insulin resistance remains to be elucidated, the most likely candidate is cellular inflammation and the resulting intracellular production of inflammatory cytokines such tumor necrosis factor (TNF). TNF primarily comes from immune cells such as macrophages that infiltrate into inflamed tissues. And here is the irony: Inflammation is not only the underlying cause of insulin resistance, but the resulting hyperinsulinemia causes further increases in inflammatory mediators known as eicosanoids, and the cycle is amplified.
Eicosanoids (eye.kah.sa.noids) were the first hormones developed by living organisms and are produced by every cell in your body. Although they might be considered to be primitive hormones, they control everything from your immune system to your brain to your heart. There are two kinds of eicosanoids, those that promote inflammation (pro-inflammatory) and tissue destruction and those that stop inflammation (anti-inflammatory) and promote healing. You need to have both kinds in the proper balance in order to be in a state of wellness.
Effect of Hyperinsulinemia on Silent Inflammation
The type of inflammation that causes insulin resistance is below the threshold of perceived pain; hence the term silent inflammation. Since there is no pain associated with silent inflammation, it can linger for years, if not decades, causing a continuing immunological assault on organs, until enough damage has been done to result in chronic disease. The primary diseases that are accelerated by silent inflammation include obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension. These are exactly the same conditions that cluster together in metabolic syndrome, and accelerate the aging process. Measuring Silent Inflammation
The first clinical marker discovered for silent inflammation was high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP). However this particular marker is relatively crude and is easily increased by infection. A much more precise, and much earlier marker of the presence of silent inflammation is the ratio of two fatty acids in the bloodstream. One is arachidonic acid (AA) and the other is eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). AA is an omega-6 fatty acid that is a building block for pro-inflammatory eicosanoids, whereas EPA is an omega-3 fatty acid that is the building block for anti-inflammatory eicosanoids. The ratio of AA/EPA in the blood is indicative of the inflammatory potential of each of the 100 trillion cells in the body. The higher the AA/EPA ratio, the more systemic silent inflammation is taking place through the body, and the faster you age.
System Consequences of Silent Inflammation
Now that silent inflammation can be measured, it becomes the best possible early warning signal that aging is accelerating in the body. Since silent inflammation is systemic, this means that every organ of the body is under potential inflammatory assault and this leads to recruitment of macrophages into such inflamed organs. One of the consequences of this macrophage infiltration is the continuing release of inflammatory cytokines that include TNF and corresponding increase in insulin resistance at the cellular level.
One of the first organs to be affected by macrophage infiltration is the adipose tissue. As the inflammation in the adipose increases, so does the resulting insulin resistance. Although a primary goal of insulin is to drive down excess blood glucose levels, it has another important role to play: to inhibit the release of excess free fatty acids from the adipose tissue. As insulin resistance develops in the adipose tissue, there is a release of free fatty acids that can cause lipotoxicity in other organs. Lipotoxicity results when lipid droplets begin to form in cells where excess fat should be absent. If the formation of these lipid droplets is in the liver, the result is fatty liver. If it's in the smooth muscle, there is more insulin resistance with less ability to remove glucose from the circulation. If there is lipotoxicity in heart muscle cells, it results in lipid accumulation that gives rise to atherosclerotic lesions. And, finally, if lipotoxicity takes place in the pancreas, it leads to the reduction of insulin secretion, itself, with the rapid development of type 2 diabetes.
There is no drug that can reduce the earliest stages of silent inflammation. However, anti-inflammatory diets can. There are several components to such a diet. The first is reduction of the glycemic load of the diet by a decreased intake of grains and starches and increased intake of fruits and non-starchy vegetables. The result is a significant reduction of the glycemic load of the diet and corresponding reduction in the amount of insulin that is secreted to reduce the post-prandial blood glucose levels. The second component is adequate protein intake to stimulate the hormone glucagon. Glucagon helps maintain stable blood glucose levels, so that satiety is effectively maintained. The third factor is calorie restriction. This is the only proven dietary factor that can reverse the aging process. However, to be successful, you have to have the appropriate balance of the glycemic load from carbohydrates and protein to maintain satiety in the face of reduced calorie intake. The last factor is a reduced intake of inflammatory omega-6 fatty acids such as vegetable oils; replace them with monounsaturated fats such as olive oil. By reducing omega-6 fatty acids, you effectively reduce the body's ability to make excess AA, thus decreasing inflammation. These are the hallmarks of the anti-inflammatory Zone Diet that was designed to keep insulin within a zone, thus decreasing the likelihood of developing insulin resistance.
To maximize the benefits of such an anti-inflammatory diet, there are two final components for an anti-inflammatory lifestyle. The first is to supplement the diet with adequate levels of fish oils rich in EPA.
The EPA supplies the necessary building blocks for the production of anti-inflammatory eicosanoids that effectively quell the flames of silent inflammation. Finally, there is consistent, moderate exercise to reduce any accumulated lipid droplets in the smooth muscles, thus reducing insulin resistance.
Aging can be viewed as a continuous inflammatory attack on the body that is hormonally driven. By treating food as if it were a drug and following an anti-inflammatory lifestyle, you have the ideal strategy to reverse insulin resistance and its associated inflammation. But, the door swings both ways. If you ignore the hormonal consequences of the diet, then other anti-aging strategies, such as hormonal replacement, will be highly attenuated, if not severely compromised. Bottom line: Reduce the hormones that increase with age, before you increase the ones that decrease with age, if you truly want to practice anti-aging medicine.

Part 1 of this article series (Volume 28, Issue 2) discussed how to eat an anti-inflammatory diet. Specific diseases and diets for specific diseases were not discussed. The goal with the anti-inflammatory diet is straightforward…the goal is to create an anti-inflammatory state, that is, to reduce the inflammatory potential of our tissues. This is a very important dietary goal, as chronic inflammation is the cause of nearly every degenerative disease, such as cancer, heart disease, and Alzheimer's disease.
With the above in mind, whenever I am asked about the best diet for treating a specific disease, my answer is the anti-inflammatory diet. In other words, apply the same diet for all diseases. This approach clears up clinical nutrition/diet applications for some, and leads to confusion for others. My perception is that the confusion stems from the "drug therapy" programming we undergo throughout our lives.
We, and our patients, are conditioned to believe that we can effectively treat and eliminate various diseases with drugs and surgery. In other words, we are programmed to believe that we can take drug X to cure disease X. Because we are programmed to think this way, we reflexively think that special diet X should cure disease X, and special diet Z should cure disease Z. The problem with this approach is that drugs and surgery rarely cure diseases, which means that we should abandon the application of this thinking to other interventions.
We need to remember that we are limited to only a handful of foods, so how can there really be special, individual diets for specific diseases? When it comes to dietary choices, we can eat fruits, vegetables, nuts, omega-3 eggs, fish, and other omega-3 animal proteins…the anti-inflammatory foods man has consumed for thousands of years. Or, we can replace these foods with more modern and pro-inflammatory foods, such as soy, grains, flour products, modern dairy products, refined sugar foods, and salty packaged foods.
So, if you have patients with back pain, diabetes, migraine headaches, and any other disease, there are two dietary choices. Patients can eat either an anti-inflammatory diet, or a pro-inflammatory diet. Keep it this simple: foods will either promote or reduce the expression of inflammation. Make your pick and choose wisely.
Consider the diet that British researchers came up with for preventing heart disease; they estimate a 75% percent reduction in heart disease expression when individuals follow what they called the polymeal.1 The polymeal program simply represents anti-inflammatory eating; the recommended foods included fish, vegetables, garlic, fruit, nuts, red wine, and dark chocolate. When a similar eating program is applied to patients with rheumatoid arthritis, there is a significant reduction in pain and disability.2
For the past twenty years, I have been reading the literature related to inflammation-disease, nutrition-inflammation, and nutrition-disease. Every month, more and more is published that clearly establishes a nutrition-inflammation-disease connection. The amount of research in this field is actually shocking. Researchers are finding that fruits, vegetables, nuts, fish, and healthy omega-3 meat and eggs should be the staples of a healthy diet. Veering from this foundation leads to trouble; that is, inflammation and disease.
In summary, I get many questions about what one should eat for various conditions…and the answer is always the same. Eat the anti-inflammatory diet described in Part 1, which echoes the recommendations for the polymeal. Keep it simple; don't complicate your diet and the eating process. Anti-inflammatory eating is the best shot we have at reducing the expression of inflammation and disease; and, fortunately, anti-inflammatory eating is not at all complicated.

Breakfast for Americans is pretty much the same everyday, with minimal variation: eggs, bacon, sausage, cheese, and wheat flour that is shaped into different "food figurines," such as bread, muffins, bagels, croissants, and cereal. Most of us settle in to a couple of food choices and eat the same breakfast every week for most of our lives.
The point is that variety does not exist for most Americans; they are happy with the same breakfast meal everyday, and very few are hunting for a magical recipe book that will change their lives.
For lunch, as with breakfast, most people eat the same foods over and over again. Sandwiches, pizza, and burgers are the most common choices, which means that the majority of people eat bread, cheese, and meat for lunch. Virtually no variation and, again, very few individuals are hunting for recipe books for lunch.
Dinner meals are also rather consistent. We eat meat, fish, and chicken for protein; some may eat vegetables or a salad. Many add rice or bread. It is also common to eat a meal made from flour, i.e, pasta with bread. Some merely eat meat and bread or pasta. When people go out, many order the same foods they make at home.
I regularly eat at a local restaurant and, as it turns out, I also eat foods similar to those I eat at home. The difference for me is that I have my proteins grilled, while many of the folks sitting around me are choosing deep-fried versions of chicken and fish, as well as deep fried onion rings and French fries.
As briefly illustrated above, for the most part, the average individual's eating habits are not complicated at all, and this holds true for me as well. We, basically, eat the same stuff over and over again…and most of us seem reasonably content with this behavior.
Regarding our meal choices, there is no good evidence that we benefit by replacing meat, fish, chicken, eggs, nuts, fruits, and vegetables with soy, grains, flour products, modern dairy products, refined sugar foods, and salty packaged foods. Whenever we eat these replacement foods, we are robbing ourselves of the nutrients found in the foods that man flourished on for thousands of years. (See Cordain, et al. for details.1 You can go to www.thepaleodiet.com and download a PDF of their excellent article.)
The suggestion that we should avoid and greatly reduce our consumption of soy, grains, flour products, modern dairy products, refined sugar foods, and salty packaged foods often brings up odd feelings of separation for many people. Some doctors and soon-to-be doctors become confused about what they are to eat if non-food foods are dropped from their diets. The answer is: fruits, vegetables, nuts, and omega-3 meat, fish, chicken, and eggs; and make sure to spice meals with ginger, turmeric, and the wide variety of spices used in traditional Italian, Greek, Spanish, Indian, and Asian meals. Beverages should include water, green tea, red wine, and stout beer. Oils that can be added to meals and used for cooking include extra virgin olive oil, virgin or unrefined coconut oil, butter, and ghee. To me, this is a very simple dietary approach to take; however, for many, it leads to unnecessary stress and confusion.
When faced with the need to drop wheat flour products that have been shaped into different "food figurines," many seem not sure what to do. On numerous occasions I am asked for recipes and cookbooks to help tackle the "confusing" subject of how to make meals with meat, fish, chicken and vegetables. My general suggestion is to prepare protein and vegetable meals as they have always been prepared; just have more vegetables to make up for bread, pasta, and rice/grains…pretty easy to do.
If you need cooking assistance, I would suggest heading off to Barnes & Noble and spending some time looking through the Italian, Greek, Spanish, Indian, and Asian recipe books. Make those meals that do not contain bread, flour products, soy, and sugar. You will discover that numerous delicious meal options are available. Several additional books offer excellent meal options including The Paleodiet,2 Nourishing Traditions,3 and a new no-grain cook book, The Big Book of Low-Carb.4
Part 2 in this series will discuss diet for various diseases, and Part 3 will focus on supplements. I suggest using these articles as patient education tools in your practice.

Structural Stress
During the 20th century, chiropractors established themselves as the experts in the recognition and correction of structural deviations from normal. The chiropractic profession has survived the slings and arrows of its detractors by producing consistent results for relief of back pain, headaches, sprains and strains, and many other structural problems. Important contributions have been made in the management of sports injuries, occupational or ergonomic problems, rehabilitation, and personal injury. However, recognizing and correcting structural problems is only half of the issue; deviations from normal function must also be diagnosed and the cause identified before treatment can be effective.
Functional Distress
Chiropractors continue to produce amazing results in the treatment of such common maladies as digestive problems, allergies, anxiety and depression, insomnia, high blood pressure, poor immune function, and arthritic aches and pains. However, the profession seems to lack the diagnostic acumen or diagnostic paradigm to produce consistent results in these areas of functional or viscero-somatic disorders.
According to a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 1994, the American public felt that medicine was ineffective in treating the above-mentioned symptoms. While somewhat surprising, this information spurred the pharmaceutical industry into lobbying Congress to allow direct-to-consumer advertising of prescription drugs on television, in newspapers, and in magazines without revealing all the dangerous side effects associated with these drugs. This industry now spends much more on advertising than it does on research and development, a fact that continues to increase the price of these remedies. Despite the pharmaceutical industry's best efforts, I doubt that the American public feels any different now than they did then.
I am not out to denigrate the pharmaceutical industry. Medicine has already proven they are ineffective in the treatment of symptoms in the absence of measurable test results indicating a disease process. But, what of the drugless healing professions, like chiropractic? How effective are we at recognizing deviations from normal function and identifying the causes? Throwing remedies at symptoms simply doesn't work consistently. Relief only comes when the cause is identified; only then does the treatment become obvious. So, what do you have to see before you know what to do about indigestion, heartburn, gas, bloating, constipation, and diarrhea?
The continuum from health to disease is usually a long one, particularly for chronic degenerative diseases and the leading causes of death. Heart attack, stroke, cancer, chronic pulmonary disease, and diabetes require prevention, according to the Surgeon General's Report on Health and Nutrition. Symptoms of visceral dysfunction can persist for years as evidence of exhaustion of normal body processes and biochemical pathways.
Health -> Appearance of Symptoms -> Recognizable Disease
There are many more "walking wounded" not receiving appropriate healthcare than there are diseased patients requiring medical care.
No Competition
Until medicine can identify a specific disease process, it must rely on statistical data to practice what is mistakenly referred to as "preventive medicine." But chiropractors should be trained in the recognition of not only somato-visceral dysfunctions, but also viscero-somatic dysfunctions. Such an approach allows the practitioner to tailor-make a health plan for each individual, not for an average of the total population. During my seminars, I often ask if there are any average people in the audience and, of course, I have yet to find one. Why do we allow drugs with dangerous side effects to be given for relief of symptoms without first identifying the cause?
Consider this: the biggest sellers for the pharmaceutical industry are anti-inflammatory drugs and antacids or proton-pump inhibitors. If we turn off the production of stomach acid for 24 hours or even neutralize it temporarily, what body process will make up for that normal function? The only normal body process that can is your immune system. It responds by producing symptoms of heat (fever), redness, swelling, or pain. If you now take an anti-inflammatory drug, what are the long-term consequences? My point is that you cannot maintain health or restore normal function using drugs (either recreational or prescription). Drugs should be reserved for the treatment of an identifiable disease process and lifesaving emergencies.
Medicine and the pharmaceutical industry have left the door open for chiropractic to step into the area of symptom-related disorders. And it is time for chiropractic to become as recognized for its effective treatment of symptoms arising from functional or visceral symptoms as it is for structural problems. But, in order to achieve this, we need a legally defensible, scientifically sound and accepted method of determining the cause of visceral dysfunctions.
I will be speaking at the Chiropractic 2006 gathering in Panama in February, where I will present a quick and convenient exam for identifying patients who are locked in the cascade of physiological events associated with stress. More importantly, I will show you how to identify those who are not responding appropriately to stress and are exhausting their normal health-maintaining processes. I hope to see you there to continue this discussion. In the meantime, consider what it would mean to you and your patients if they knew you could recognize an impending health problem specific to them and truly prevent its appearance.

Six dead as police storm site of Marian apparition
Police say they were armed with clubs, but a witness says they were old ladies who only came to pray.
- Burundi
- March 13, 2013
Burundi police clashed Tuesday with Catholic followers of a woman who claims to see visions of the Virgin Mary, leaving at least six people dead and 35 wounded, a regional governor said.
Violence broke out at dawn after hundreds of followers of 30-year-old Zebiya were blocked by police as they tried to gather on a hilltop that has become a place of pilgrimage, officials said.
"There were violent clashes," said Athanase Mbonabuca, governor of Burundi's northern Kayanza region, adding that followers of Zebiya were "armed with clubs and stones".
"At least six people are dead and 35 wounded," he said. The dead were all believed to be from the sect.
At least four policemen were seriously injured, he said.
Zebiya has reportedly seen visions on the hill on the 12th day of each month.
Hundreds of her followers were arrested, the regional governor said.
Interior Minister Edouard Nduwimana confirmed this version of events.
However one of the worshippers told AFP by telephone that the group largely consisted of elderly women who did not carry weapons and "who had only wanted to pray".
Relations between Zebiya, her followers and the Catholic church in the small central African nation have deteriorated in recent months.
In December police destroyed a cross erected on the hill and deployed officers to ensure followers do not return. Dozens have been wounded in previous clashes.

Six ways to make your information more trustworthy
Wes Simonds 120000EFD6 firstname.lastname@example.com | | Tags:  wes infosphere integration age change data whispers information-insights governance big corrigan volume david simonds chinese

Good strategies require good information; I think we can all agree on that. If you want to fly to Austin, for instance, it's important that you establish whether you mean the Austin in Texas or the Austin in Minnesota before you buy your plane ticket. Failure to do so will threaten the success of your Austin-visiting strategy at a deep level.
For many organizations today, however -- especially the larger ones that have been around a while -- ensuring that information is good is far from easy. This comes as a consequence of many factors, including:
Information governance can help you fulfill the promise of big data
Recently I discovered a blog on these subjects by an IBM expert, Dave Corrigan -- aka, IBM's Director of Product Marketing for InfoSphere -- and was intrigued to find him discussing these various ideas in terms of trust.
It makes perfect sense, of course. If you're building an omelette out of eggs, or a house out of wooden beams, you need to be able to trust that they aren't rotten. And if you're building business strategies, processes and decisions out of basic information, the same logic applies.
This, in short, is the heart of information governance - maximizing the business value of information by maximizing its quality and trustworthiness in a variety of related and interconnected ways. A quick phone call with Corrigan confirmed this interpretation.
'Information Governance establishes trust in information,' he said. 'Without trust, organizations fail to capitalize on new insightsBut when business users can trust information, they act upon insights from analytics and reports, and operate more efficiently when using enterprise applications.'
This struck me as particularly interesting because of the implications. Picture a CIO who, having invested heavily in big data solutions, proceeds to collect piles and piles of data, runs his shiny new analytics tools on the piles and generates lots of impressive-looking reports, only to round-file the reports because, at some basic level, they just don't seem very trustworthy. Or, possibly worse, he uses the reports to make major decisions anyway, despite profound doubts about the wisdom of this course of action.
Talk about an indictment of technology! I asked Corrigan how common that scenario really was.
'More common than you'd think,' he said. 'Recent studies tell us that one in three organizational leaders frequently make decisions based on information they don't trust, or don't have. Half say they don't have access to the information they need to do their jobs. And 60 percent, a clear majority, think they have more data than they can use effectively.'
Information governance is all about solving that problem. The idea is to make data more trustworthy so that you can then proceed confidently to use it in more ways, solve more problems and create more value -- both for yourself and for your clients, customers and business partners.
Six pillars of governance to support business goals and strategies
This, of course, is easier said than done. Fortunately, you don't have to do it alone. Corrigan explained to me that as a result of IBM's hundred-year history in business and an endless list of successful customer engagements, IBM has learned a thing or two about how information should be governed for best results -- actually, six things.
'Trusted information, as we see it, is dependent on six key technology aspects,' said Corrigan. 'Basically, you need to ensure that information is understood, clean, holistic, current, secure and documented.'
Let's walk through those aspects briefly.
Understood information is information that has a clear, established context. That means its structure, its source and all associated metadata. Information has to be understood in this sense before definitions and policies concerning it can be shared across projects.
Correct information is just that -- correct. It's been standardized and cleansed, is in the right format and is known to be accurate. Logistics companies that ship products, for instance, will need to be quite sure they have the correct shipping address or customer satisfaction is going to take a major hit.
Holistic information is information that's been reconciled across all repositories, so that inaccurate versions of it are removed and a single accurate version is left. The logistics company above may have a correct shipping address on file for a customer, but it will also need to get rid of the other five addresses it also has, in other databases, all of which are completely wrong.
Current information is chronologically accurate. Keeping all information forever, as if it were all perpetually useful, will inevitably create problems. Instead, information should have an expiration date (rather like milk, water filters or members of Congress). This minimizes the odds it will influence decisions in ways it shouldn't.
Secure information has been protected and monitored over its lifecycle to verify only the right people have seen it, changed it or used it in any way. One of the best ways to increase the trustworthiness of information is to keep the wrong people from getting access to it in the first place.
Finally, documented information has a known lineage to establish its history. This is rather similar to the idea of provenance in the art world, used to reflect changing ownership. If you're planning to spend $50 million on a Picasso, you need to be sure it was not in fact painted eight years ago by someone named Steve. Just as with provenance, information lineage can be used to trace problems, guide decisions and yield a better outcome.
All of these capabilities are provided by IBM's InfoSphere family, which includes leading solutions like InfoSphere Information Server, InfoSphere Guardium and InfoSphere Master Data Management.
InfoSphere solutions aren't just standalone tools; they interoperate at a deep level, forming a complete information governance solution. This solution, in turn, helps organizations get the best use out of information even in the most sophisticated cases, where information volumes are incredibly high, use cases are many and it's critical that the information be as trustworthy as possible.
Corrigan sees this interoperable design, in which governance capabilities are logically linked, as fundamentally necessary if major IT initiatives are really going to be successful in a pragmatic sense.
'Common projects that drive the need for integration and governance include newly installed enterprise application, or a data warehouse or big data systems that are the foundation of analytics and reporting,' said Corrigan. 'Improving the trustworthiness of information in each of those enterprise projects requires various combinations of the six aspects, through Information Governance technology, to fully satisfy requirements. That's why we see Information Integration and Governance as a common platform of integrated capabilities for data integration, data quality, privacy and security, lifecycle management, and master data management.'

HOUSTON — Drake's ties to Houston run deep. It was the city made famous by Rap-a-Lot Records, the Geto Boys, UGK, DJ Screw and a litany of chopped-and-screwed odes to purple syrup that sired, cultivated and ultimately catapulted the Toronto native into the stratosphere of chart-topping, award-winning artists, so it was only fitting that the MC born Aubrey Graham would pour more of his heart and soul into Thursday night's Toyota Center performance, an earmarked leg on his mammoth Club Paradise Tour.
Before Drizzy took the stage for his nearly two-hour set, he was preceded by a coterie of hip-hop radio fixtures: French Montana, 2 Chainz, Meek Mill, Waka Flocka Flame and J. Cole. Each artist was allotted an average of 30 minutes to run through their budding catalog of hits as the crowd — an amalgamation of ages, races and backgrounds — filed into the expansive arena to see the YMCMB MC.
Dressed in a simple black T-shirt and jeans — sans garish bejeweled pendant, necklace or watch — and backed by a five-piece band, the Canadian spitter took the stage just before 10 p.m., bursting with nostalgia and reverence for H-Town.
"I love Toronto, but this (Houston) is my favorite place in the mother—-in' world!" he declared.
Drake jumpstarted the throng with last year's undisputed summer anthem, "I'm on One," before igniting the crowd with the Weeknd-assisted "Crew Love" from his critically and commercially successful sophomore opus, Take Care.
In between sips of mystery drank from a grande-sized Styrofoam cup, Drake bounced across the stage like a whirling dervish, looking as if he were unchained from the restrictions and restraints of the criticism he's faced since solidifying his brand of moody, self-reflective braggadocio in the hardened, self-policing pantheon of hip-hop.
Songs like "She Will" and "Up All Night" flowed from the multiplatinum MC's happy place like an unrelenting wave crashing on a sandy beach. Drake was having so much fun onstage he felt compelled to share it with his co-stars.
"Every n—a you wanna hear is right f—ing here!" Drake said before bringing out 2 Chainz for the newly released banger "No Lie." The record has yet to gain the kind of traction it deserves, but one thing is clear: You haven't heard "No Lie" until you've heard it in a live arena setting.
Next up was Waka Flocka, whose high-energy flow on "Round of Applause" was punctuated by pyrotechnics on the "Baby make that ass clap" refrain.
Drizzy briefly put his parade of guest stars on hold to offer up his current crossover hit "Take Care" before Meek Mill stepped into the cypher for "House Party" and "I'm a Boss." The biggest surprise — literally and figuratively — of the night emerged from stage right to thunderous applause: Rick Ross. The Teflon Don and French Montana joined Drake and Meek Mill for the first-ever all-hands-on-deck live performance of "Stay Schemin" from Rozay's groundbreaking mixtape Rich Forever.
Drake's growth as a live performer was evident as he took time to single out fans for various compliments, comments and jokes, making 15,000 fans feel as though they were in a small, intimate venue meant for 1,500. Drizzy crooned and pandered to the shrieking females in the audience as a prelude to "Make Me Proud," but the exuberant pirouettes and middle-fingered Mazel tovs were back with "HYFR" and "The Motto."
The only blemish on the evening came when a young fan managed to hop onstage ala Lil Mama before being promptly removed by herculean security guards. "Shout out to that f— ass n—a that ran onstage," Drake said. "He probably getting his ass beat right now."
To close out his set, Drizzy thanked the fans for their unyielding support and offered up the defiantly brazen "Headlines," lest there were any haters left in the building — or in the industry, for that matter — "overdosed on confidence" enough to think they can keep Drake from being Drizzy. Because, as he so eloquently put it on this night, Drake doesn't care about what the naysayers have to say: He only cares about making music for his fans.

Hawaii braces for Hurricane IselleComment on this story
Honolulu - Hawaiians braced for a one-two punch from a pair of major storms headed their way on Wednesday, as Hurricane Iselle bore down on the islands packing high winds and heavy surf and Julio, tracking right behind, was upgraded to hurricane status.
Iselle was about 1 000km east of Hilo, on the Island of Hawaii, at 11am Hawaiian Standard Time on Wednesday and heading west-northwest at 24km/h with maximum sustained winds of 144km/h, according to the National Hurricane Centre.
Iselle was expected to weaken into a tropical storm before reaching the islands on Thursday afternoon, but forecasters said it could still bring high winds and surf of between 3m and 5m to the tourist haven.
State officials warned of the potential for flash floods, mudslides and power outages and Governor Neil Abercrombie signed an emergency proclamation, freeing up funds and other resources, in anticipation of its arrival.
"We want to make sure we are doing everything possible to protect the public," Abercrombie said in a statement released by his office. "This proclamation improves the state's ability to respond quickly to any potential impacts from both storms."
Meanwhile Hurricane Julio, upgraded on Wednesday from a tropical storm, was expected to roll into the islands as early as Saturday, also packing heavy surf and high winds. But officials said they were still focused on Iselle.
Residents stocked up on basics as authorities in Honolulu advised them to prepare a seven-day disaster supply kit. Shoppers waited in lines at supermarkets with carts full of bottled water, batteries and non-perishable food.
"With Hawaii's remoteness, it could be as long as a week before a full disaster relief operation can be initiated," the Honolulu Department of Emergency Management said in a statement.
Honolulu teacher Gina Nakahodo said she had remained calm until she reached the empty water aisle of her local grocery store early on Tuesday.
"We've had so many storms that have passed us by, but with these two back to back you begin to worry. Then all of a sudden the aisles are empty and there's no water and it makes your heart pound a little," Nakahodo said.
She said she talked to a couple visiting from California and told them everything was going to be okay. "But in the back of my mind I'm wondering, 'what's going to happen?'" she said.
The Coast Guard warned of heavy weather by Thursday, with the two hurricanes expected to generate extreme sea conditions, storm surge and surf of up to 5m throughout the island chain.
The National Weather Service issued a flash flood watch from early Thursday to early Saturday, with Hurricane Iselle expected to bring heavy rains to the islands.
Public schools would be closed on Thursday on the islands of Maui, Molokai, Lanai and the Island of Hawaii, the Hawaii State Department of Education said. - Reuters

Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu (English: Hunt and Play) is a 2006 Tamil crime-detective-thriller film written and directed by Gautham Menon. Starring Kamal Haasan, Jyothika, Kamalinee Mukherjee, Prakash Raj and Daniel Balaji in prominent roles, the film features music composed by Harris Jayaraj. It was one of the first Indian films to make use of Super 35mm technology.[2]
The film was dubbed in Telugu as Raghavan and released on 17 August 2007 to positive reviews. In 2012, reports stated that Menon would direct the film's Bollywood remake, but these were later dismissed. It was dubbed in Hindi as The Smart Hunt.[3]
Rani (Bidushi Dash Barde), the daughter of former Chennai police officer Arokiya Raj (Prakash Raj), tells her father over the phone that she will back home in Madurai in 3 hours. As she leaves the telephone booth, she is approached by someone. The screen then cuts to black and we find out that Rani does not come home. The following morning Arokiyaraj finds a finger hanging at his door. Police reports confirm that it is his daughter Rani's finger. He calls Raghavan (Kamal Hassan), his old friend, for investigation. Raghavan handles the case and they eventually find the body of Rani in a forest in the city outskirts. The doctor's report states that the killer bisected Rani's body with a surgical knife, proving that the murderer has a strong medical background and have also raped her. Following the trauma of losing their only daughter, Arokiya Raj and his wife move to New York.
After some Raghavan learns that Arokiya Raj and his wife have been murdered in New York. This creates a link between the Chennai police and the New York Police Department. Raghavan leaves for New York to represent the Indian police. On the flight, he thinks about his late wife Kayalvizhi (Kamalini Mukherjee) who was murdered by the mob because he stood in their way. Raghavan still cannot forgive himself for his wife's death. He reaches New York and starts his investigation with NYPD detective Anderson (Lev Gorn).
Raghavan stays in a hotel in downtown New York where he constantly keeps his superiors in Chennai updated on the investigation. Staying next to his room is Aradhana (Jyothika). He immediately notices that she is going through a rough time in her life. One night, he gets suspicious on what she is up to and breaks into her room, only to find her attempting suicide by strangling herself. Raghavan saves her life and the two strike a friendship. Aradhana reveals that her violent husband is filing for divorce after cheating on her.
Raghavan and Anderson start the investigation. They find a connection between the murder of Rani and an Indian-American girl, Chandana, whose finger was also found hung in her boyfriend's car in the similar way as Rani's. With much difficulty, they find the body of Chandana and three more American girls. Suspicion falls on two Indian medical students studying in New York - Amudhan (Daniel Balaji) and Ilamaaran (Salim Baigg). Raghavan and Anderson try to get into their room where Ilamaaran shoots and kills Anderson and injures Raghavan.Amudhan tells Raghavan that they have a habit of killing just like the habit of smoking.He says that he kept it controlled for 3 years but when he and Ilamaaran misbehaved with Rani,Rani told that to her father Arokyaraj.Arokyaraj had kept them in the police station for a night with eunuch and tortured him and Ilamaaran which made them furious again to kill all who had insulted them but they both leave for New York City to pursue higher studies in medicine but still has the rage in them to kill Arokiaraj and family and so kills many of them there in New York just to keep the rage in them alive.They killed Rani when they came back to India and return back to States but after coming to know that Arokiaraj has moved to New York recently,they kill Arokiaraj and his wife.Thinking Raghavan would be dead in minutes due to the stabbings,they set their place on fire and escape from there and fly to Mumbai for hideout.
Fortunately Raghavan escapes and is admitted in the hospital after falling off the apartment and injuring himself severely in the process. Aradhana takes care of him. Raghavan and Aradhana then return to India where Raghavan proposes to Aradhana,but she turns down saying that she has to take care of her 11-month baby Maya and not interested in another relationship.
Amudhan and Illamaran, who have evaded Mumbai police at Chhatrapathi Shivaji International Airport, reach Chennai from Kozhikode. Amudhan, after seeing Aradhana with Raghavan kidnaps her while Ilamaaran tries to get into Raghavan's house to kill him but flees after the cops charges. He is chased and caught by Raghavan.After murdering many,in a duel between them, Raghavan eventually kills both Amudhan and Illamaran and rescues Aradhana, who accepts his love and they both marry.

Gautham Menon had approached Mohanlal in 2005, after finishing the script. The project was supposed to be Gautham's directorial debut in Malayalam.[4] But Mohanlal opted out due to scheduling conflicts. Gautham Menon was then signed on to direct a venture starring Kamal Haasan and produced by Kaja Mohideen, and initially suggested a one-line story which went on to become Pachaikili Muthucharam for the collaboration. Kamal Haasan wanted a different story and thus the investigative thriller film, Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu, was re-written with Jyothika, Kamalinee Mukerji, Prakash Raj, Daniel Balaji and Saleem Baig added to the cast. As per Menon's usual method for picking a title, he asked his associates for suggestions, which included the title of Thadayaara Thaaka, which was later used for another film.[5] The film told another episode from a police officer's life, with an Indian cop moved to America to investigate the case of psychotic serial killers before returning to pursue the chase in India. During the shooting, the unit ran into problems after the producer had attempted suicide and as a result, Kamal Haasan wanted to quit the project.[6] Menon subsequently convinced him to stay on as they had taken advance payments. He has revealed that unlike Kamal Haasan's other films, he did not take particular control of the script or production of the film. The film however had gone through change from the original script with less emphasis on the antagonists than Menon had hoped and he also revealed that scenes for songs were forced him and shot without him.[7] Actresses Rohini and Andrea Jeremiah dubbed for the voices of female leads Jyothika[8] and Kamalinee Mukherjee respectively.[9] Even after several problems the film released , and became a blockbuster movie proving that hard work never fails.

Critical response[edit]
Behindwoods wrote a positive review, stating: "The album has not let down expectations. It is the usual mix by Harris. However, Bombay Jeyashree's contribution and the beautiful lyrics by poetess Thamarai are the greatest assets to the album. Harris once again proves his mastery in orchestration and the audio will surely be a hit like Minnale or Kaakha Kaakha."[11] Rediff said, "The most disappointing part is the music. Mr Harris Jayaraj, what has happened to you? The music, which could have taken the movie to a different level, is so loud that it seriously hinders the story flow."[12]
The film garnered largely positive reviews from critics. National Award winning crtic Baradwaj Rangan summarised it in his review: "The story of a police investigation is detailed in a smart, grown-up movie that gets most things right." He praised the film for "giving us a sense of a day in the life of a cop, as if an invisible crew followed him around as he went about his job." He lavished heavy praise on Gautham Menon for mature handling of the relationship between the lead pair, saying, "Gautham continues to dream up for Jyotika parts that no one's imagined her in before, and she contributes to the kind of mature romantic angle we've rarely seen before. It's not just about boy meeting girl and falling in love; it's about boy with baggage meeting girl with bigger baggage and tentatively exploring the practicality of a new relationship after their respective old ones have faded away."[13] Behindwoods said, "It is definitely a triumph of sorts for Gautham and Manickam Narayanan, who have gone through innumerable hitches in getting the movie released. Enjoy!!"[14] Rediff gave it 3.5/5, saying "In his best performance in recent times, Kamal portrays the character with believable honesty and charm."[12] Sify stated that "what gives you goose flesh is the finely calibrated performance of Kamal as DCP Raghavan. You just can't take your eyes off him as he laces his portrayal with dignity, grace and dry wit."[15]
Box office[edit]
Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu, made on a budget of ₹100 million (US$1.5 million), collected totally ₹500 million (US$7.5 million) worldwide.[16] Behindwoods declared the film a "blockbuster".[17] This was the first Tamil film to be released in 16 theatres in Chennai city alone and changed the trend of film release.[18]

|The nature and action of a hypotensive agent from Eucalyptus robusta
|Read, George Wesley
|Extracts of some species of Eucalyptus have been found to be hypotensive in rats, guinea pigs, cats, and dogs. Of the 29 species of this genus available for assay, Eucalyptus robusta contained the highest concentration of the hypotensive principle. Active and inactive species were randomly distributed throughout the sections and subsections of the genus, indicating that activity is not associated with any particular group of the eucalypts. The active principle occurs in highest concentration in the leaves but is also found in the phloem, roots, and to a lesser extent in the xylem. Little or no activity is present in> the bark. The hypotensive factor is soluble in water, lower alcohols and acetone but insoluble in chloroform or ether. Addition of chloroform or ether to the alcoholic extracts precipitated a more purified fraction. Attempts to purify the active component further by adsorption, steam distillation, gel filtration, heavy metal ion precipitation, liquid-liquid extraction, and dialysis met With little success. The molecular weight of the active principle was found to be approximately 3000, using Craig's dialysis method. The active component's molecular weight, solubility characteristics, precipitability by heavy metals (especially ferric chloride), base lability, strong adsorptive tendencies especially to Sephadex), non-volatility, ease of oxidation, and ineffectiveness orally indicate that it is probably a specific tannin. Five mg/kg of the partially purified material depressed the blood pressure of rats to less than 50% of its original value for approximately 15 minutes. Larger doses lowered the blood pressure to 30% of normal and for periods greater than several hours. The active agent was effective intravenously and intraperitoneally but ineffective orally. The absence of an effect when it was given to the vascularly isolated heads of cross-circulated animals indicated that the agent's action was peripheral. Prior treatment with hexamethonium, reserpine, phenoxybenzamine, pronethalol, and atropine had little or no effect on the action of the Eucalyptus factor. The antihistaminics tripellenamine and diphenhydramine, however, did attenuate the depressor effect of the extracts. When the active principle was given first, it had little or no effect on the response to subsequently administered phenylephrine, angiotensin, isoproterenol, or methacholine. However, there was an interference with the response to histamine. These results suggest that the hypotensive agent acts on the histamine pathway. Depletion of the histamine stores With the drug 48/80 blocked the action of the hypotensive agent, as did a one-week pretreatment With the agent itself. These results, along With the blockade by antihistamines and the interference with the response to histamine, indicate that the active principle is a histamine liberator.

He describes both of these ideas beginning at about 1:50 into this video:
At about five seconds into the video, there is a picture of his stove and pots. But those may or may not be the pots he describes later in the video.
Are there specially designed pots that allow for the sort of stacking he describes? Or is he using his pots in his own innovative way? Does anyone know of pots designed for this? Or pots that work well when stacked as he describes?
