Round 6: Showdown at Texas Motor Speedway Results
Round 6: Showdown at Texas Motor Speedway Results;
Michael Essa Takes the Victory and the Points Lead
Long Beach, Calif. – September 15, 2013 – Formula DRIFT presented by GoPro entered Texas Motor Speedway for the first time. Michael Essa in the GSR Autosport / Yokohama BMW M3 takes the victory and the lead in the Pro Championship points chase heading into the final competition of the 2013 season.
Round 6: Showdown saw a return to Texas with the first Formula DRIFT event in the Lone Star State since 2005. Texas Motor Speedway hosted the highly anticipated event under the night sky. The new track proved to be challenging as one of the fastest drift tracks on the circuit and one of the most technical for tandem drifting.
The consolation round saw Patrick Mordaunt in the Diamond Lighting / APEXi Lexus SC430 against point leader, Chris Forsberg in the NOS Energy Drink / Hankook Tire Nissan 370Z. Forsberg won the battle to secure third place, but falls to second place overall in the Pro Championship standings with only 15.5 points separating him from the leader. The final battle pitted Essa against Matt Field in the CX Racing / Maxxis / Blacktrax Nissan 240SX. Essa bested Field for his second victory of the season and second straight podium finish to take the event win and lead in the point standings heading into the final competition of the season. This was Field's first podium finish of his Formula DRIFT career.
"First year here at this track and the course was just insane with sustained speed throughout. It was just crazy out there, but we were able to take home the win," said Michael Essa, winner of Round 6: Showdown. "Our GSR Autosport BMW E46 with Wisefab suspension and Bilstein suspension along with Yokohama Tires helped make this an amazing event for us. We are leading the points right now by about 15 points heading into Irwindale and we have a shot at the Championship which is not what we expected entering this season with a new car and can't be more happy with the results."
Heading into the final competition of the season for Round 7: Final Fight on October 11 – 12, 2013 at Irwindale Speedway. Less than 90 points separate the top six drivers and the championship. Additionally, the inaugural tire and manufacturer championship will be determined at the final competition of the tenth season of Formula DRIFT.
"It is always exciting to hold an event at a new venue and Texas Motor Speedway provided a great place to showcase drifting. The event outcome sets up a competitive finale, " stated Jim Liaw, president and co-founder of Formula DRIFT. "With only one competition left in the season, the Championship is up for grabs with the top six drivers vying to be crowed champion."
Round 5: Throwdown at Evergreen Speedway Results; Chris Forsberg Takes the Victory
Long Beach, Calif. – July 21, 2013 – Formula DRIFT presented by GoPro returned to the Pacific Northwest to a sold out crowd. Chris Forsberg in the NOS Energy Drink / Hankook Tire Nissan 370Z takes the victory and the championship points lead.
The fans came out in droves for Round 5: Throwdown at Evergreen Speedway and for the second year in a row the event was held in front of a sell-out crowd.
"Each year we look forward to the action and excitement at Evergreen Speedway and this year did not disappoint. The championship chase is heating up with only two events left in the season," stated Jim Liaw, president and co-founder of Formula DRIFT. "The chase is as close as it has ever been and we look forward to returning to Texas for the next round of competition and then the Finals in Irwindale."
Heading into the event, returning champion Daigo Saito had a commanding points lead, but with an early exit in the Top 32, an opening for the other drivers became present. In the consolation round, Aurimas "Odi" Bakchis in the Nexen Tire Nissan 240SX battled Fredric Aasbo in the Hankook Tire / Scion Racing tC. Wheel and tire problems helped give Aasbo the win and the third place finish. The final battle pitted Michael Essa in the GSR Autosport / Yokohama BMW M3 against Chris Forsberg. After a close battle, Forsberg edged out Essa to take the victory and the lead in the 2013 Pro Championship points standings. Essa also moves into second place overall.
"Hats off to my crew for giving me a perfect running car this weekend as they were hustling really hard since Thursday's practice to get the car dialed in for today," said Chris Forsberg, winner of Round 5: Throwdown. "It is a testament from last year's season to this year just how much you can improve with a hard working crew and the support of great sponsors. I'm excited for the win and the lead and can't wait for the next event."
With only 2 events remaining the championship is up for grabs with less than 35 points separating the top five drivers from the title. Formula DRIFT continues to Round 6: Showdown at Texas Motor Speedway in Dallas Fort Worth, Texas on September 13-14, 2013.

User Reviews of Products
Very comfortable and warm ski pant. Chic and flattering style. Peter Glenn customer service representative recommended to go size up. I wear size 4 in regular cloth. Size 6 of these pant fits just right.
Sometimes you get what you pay for. These pants are expensive, but totally worth it. So comfortable to ski in that you barely know you have them on. And they look good too. There is a reason that Bogner continues to be a premium ski brand.
It is sold as a midlayer but it is a base layer. It's even written inside the label "first layer". Too tight fitting to put another layer underneath. I'm disappointed!
This Bogner jacket covers all the bases: warmth, style & function. It's totally worth the money. I'm sure I will get years of use out of it, it is super durable! I put my winter to coats to work, and I think this one will last!
I'm 5'6" 1/2 137 lbs. I ordered this jacket in an 8 white and it fits as if tailored. The quilting pattern is simple and classy. I bought the fur trim which gives it that extra pow that if your going Bogner than you may as well do it right. Perfect for my wedding day!!
Good quality, as expected, worth the price tag. True to size, warm and comfortable.
The frosting on the cake for a Bogner Sport Ski Jacket!
I love the way it looks. The quality is great and it is very well made. I am glad I made that purchase. It fits a little tight though. I kept it anyway.
I've been coveting this Bogner Gianna-D design since last year but the XS in women's was too big. The XXL fits my 5'2 110 lb frame perfectly. The sleeves don't cover my knuckles and the quality is impeccable.

Article: Statins decrease the risk of stroke in individuals with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia: A systematic review and meta-analysis[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Background: Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is undoubtedly associated with premature coronary heart disease, but it is debatable whether FH increases the risk for stroke. Objective: To meta-analyze available evidence regarding the incidence of stroke in individuals with heterozygous (He) FH. Methods: We conducted a systematic review and a meta-analysis of epidemiological studies, including English-language publications until June 2015; four observational studies, with 3374 participants with HeFH, were included in the analysis. Cerebrovascular disease comprised of ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack. Since studies did not include any control subjects, the corresponding general population of the same reference area and period of time for each HeFH study served as control group. Analyses were performed according to the period of time during which the studies were conducted: prestatin and statin era (before and after 1987 when lovastatin was launched). Results: In the prestatin era, individuals with HeFH exhibited a higher risk for stroke compared with the general population [odds ratio (OR) = 7.658, 95% confidence interval (CI): 6.059-9.678, p < 0.01]. In contrast, FH subjects had a lower odds for stroke following the generalization of statin therapy (OR = 0.251, 95% CI: 0.176-0.358, p < 0.01). Conclusions: Taking into account the small number of studies and methodological issues, HeFH was associated with a higher risk of cerebrovascular disease compared with the general population in the prestatin era, which was significantly reduced after the introduction of statin therapy.
Article: External Validation of the Prestroke Independence, Sex, Age, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (ISAN) Score for Predicting Stroke-Associated Pneumonia in the Athens Stroke Registry[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Background and purpose: The Prestroke Independence, Sex, Age, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (ISAN) score was developed recently for predicting stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP), one of the most common complications after stroke. The aim of the present study was to externally validate the ISAN score. Methods: Data included in the Athens Stroke Registry between June 1992 and December 2011 were used for this analysis. Inclusion criteria were the availability of all ISAN score variables (prestroke independence, sex, age, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score). Receiver operating characteristic curves and linear regression analyses were used to determine the discriminatory power of the score and to assess the correlation between actual and predicted pneumonia in the study population. Separate analyses were performed for patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Results: The analysis included 3204 patients (AIS: 2732, ICH: 472). The ISAN score demonstrated excellent discrimination in patients with AIS (area under the curve [AUC]: .83 [95% confidence interval {CI}: .81-.85]). In the ICH group, the score was less effective (AUC: .69 [95% CI: .63-.74]). Higher-risk groups of ISAN score were associated with an increased relative risk of SAP; risk increase was more prominent in the AIS population. Predicted pneumonia correlated very well with actual pneumonia (AIS group: R(2) = .885; β-coefficient = .941, P < .001; ICH group: R(2) = .880, β-coefficient = .938, P < .001). Conclusions: In our external validation in the Athens Stroke Registry cohort, the ISAN score predicted SAP very accurately in AIS patients and demonstrated good discriminatory power in the ICH group. Further validation and assessment of clinical usefulness would strengthen the score's utility further.
Article: Prognostic value of 24-h ABPM in acute ischemic stroke for short-, medium-, and long-term outcome: A systematic review and meta-analysis[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Background The association of blood pressure levels during the acute phase of ischemic stroke with outcome remains controversial.AimsThe objective of this systematic review is to assess the predictive value for stroke outcome assessed by the modified Rankin scale score of systolic and diastolic blood pressure, measured by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring methods during the acute phase of ischemic stroke, compared with the values of casually derived blood pressure measurement on admission.Methods We searched for studies with patients admitted within 24 h of stroke onset, and who had ambulatory blood pressure monitoring during the first 24 h of admission. We identified studies that reported blood pressure in those with good outcome and in those with poor outcome at end of follow-up, and performed a meta-analysis of the effect of mean blood pressure on outcome.ResultsHigh systolic and diastolic blood pressure levels derived with ambulatory blood pressure monitoring were associated with poor short-, medium-, and long-term outcome, but the same was not found for casual blood pressure measurements. An increase in systolic blood pressure of 9·1 mmHg (95% confidence interval: 6·6–11·6, P < 0·001; I2 = 9%) and an increase in diastolic blood pressure of 2·3 mmHg (95% confidence interval: 0·8–3·7, P = 0·002; I2 = 0%) were associated with poor outcome.Conclusions Higher systolic and diastolic blood pressure levels derived with ambulatory blood pressure monitoring were associated with poor outcome. The same was not found for higher casual blood pressure measurements on admission, and it is possible that ambulatory blood pressure monitoring conveys better prognostic information.
Article: Defining the Path Between Social and Economic Factors, Clinical and Lifestyle Determinants, and Cardiovascular Disease[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Low socioeconomic status is associated with poorer cardiovascular health. The aim of the present work was to evaluate how social and economic factors influence modifiable cardiovascular disease risk factors and thus, acute coronary syndrome or ischemic stroke presence. One thousand participants were enrolled; 250 consecutive patients with a first acute coronary syndrome (83% were male, 60 ± 12 years old) and 250 control subjects, as well as 250 consecutive patients with a first ischemic stroke (56% were male, 77 ± 9 years old) and 250 control subjects. The control subjects were population-based and age-sex matched with the patients. Detailed information regarding their medical records, lifestyle characteristics, education level, financial status satisfaction, and type of occupation were recorded. After controlling for potential confounding factors, significant inverse associations were observed regarding financial status satisfaction and sedentary/mental type occupation with acute coronary syndrome or stroke presence, but not with the educational level. Nevertheless, further evaluation using path analysis, revealed quite different results, indicating that the education level influenced the type of occupation and financial satisfaction, hence affecting indirectly the likelihood of developing a cardiovascular disease event. Social and economic parameters interact with modifiable cardiovascular disease risk factors through multiple pathways. Copyright © 2015 World Heart Federation (Geneva). Published by Elsevier B.V.

ABSTRACT: Clinicians inevitably encounter patients who meet the diagnostic criteria for the metabolic syndrome (MetS); these criteria include central obesity, hypertension, atherogenic dyslipidaemia, and hyperglycaemia. Regardless of the variations in its definition, MetS may be associated with adverse outcomes in patients undergoing both cardiac and non-cardiac surgery. There is a paucity of data concerning the anaesthetic management of patients with MetS, and only a few observational (mainly retrospective) studies have investigated the association of MetS with perioperative outcomes. In this narrative review, we consider the impact of MetS on the occurrence of perioperative adverse events after cardiac and non-cardiac surgery. Metabolic syndrome has been associated with higher rates of cardiovascular, pulmonary, and renal perioperative events and wound infections compared with patients with a non-MetS profile. Metabolic syndrome has also been related to increased health service costs, prolonged hospital stay, and a greater need for posthospitalization care. Therefore, physicians should be able to recognize the MetS in the perioperative period in order to formulate management strategies that may modify any perianaesthetic and surgical risk. However, further research is needed in this field. © The Author 2015. Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the British Journal of Anaesthesia. All rights reserved.

Article: Generic Clopidogrel Besylate in the Secondary Prevention of Atherothrombotic Events: A 6-month Follow-up of a Randomised Clinical Trial[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The aim of the present interim analysis was to compare the clinical efficacy and safety of the generic clopidogrel besylate (CB) with the innovator clopidogrel hydrogen sulphate (CHS) salt in patient groups eligible to receive clopidogrel. A 2-arm, multicenter, open-label, phase 4 clinical trial. Consecutive patients (n=1,864) were screened and 1,800 were enrolled in the trial and randomized to CHS (n=759) or CB (n=798). Primary efficacy end point was the composite of myocardial infarction, stroke or death from vascular causes, and primary safety end point was rate of bleeding events as defined by Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) criteria. At 6-months follow-up no differences were observed between CB and CHS in primary efficacy end point (OR, 0.80; 95% CI, 0.37 to 1.71; p=0.57). Rates of BARC-1,-2,-3a and -5b bleeding were similar between the two study groups whereas no bleeding events according to BARC-3b, -3c, -4 and -5a were observed in either CHS or CB group. The clinical efficacy and safety of the generic CB is similar to that of the innovator CHS salt, thus, it can be routinely used in the secondary prevention of atherothrombotic events for a period of at least 6 months.

ABSTRACT: We aimed to investigate the association between leukoaraiosis and long-term risk of stroke recurrence adjusting for clinical scores developed and validated for the prediction of stroke risk, such as CHADS2 (congestive heart failure, hypertension, age ≥75 years, diabetes mellitus, and stroke or TIA) and CHA2DS2-VASc (congestive heart failure, hypertension, age ≥75 years, diabetes mellitus, stroke or TIA, vascular disease, age 65-74 years, sex category). Study population was derived from the Athens Stroke Registry and was categorized in 2 subgroups according to the presence of atrial fibrillation (AF). Cox proportional hazards analysis was performed to assess the independent predictors of stroke recurrence. To investigate whether leukoaraiosis adds to the prognostic accuracy of CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc scores, we used the likelihood ratio test. Overall model assessment was performed with Nagelkerke R(2) and Harrell C statistic. Kaplan-Meier analyses were also performed. Among 1,892 patients, there were 320 (16.9%) with leukoaraiosis and 670 (35.4%) with AF. In the Kaplan-Meier analysis, there was significant difference in cumulative probability of stroke recurrence between patients with and without leukoaraiosis in the non-AF group (p < 0.01), but not in the AF group (p = 0.46). On Cox multivariate analysis, leukoaraiosis was found to be a significant independent predictor of stroke recurrence only in the non-AF group, in the models adjusting for CHADS2 (hazard ratio: 1.86, 95% confidence interval: 1.35-2.56) and CHA2DS2-VASc (hazard ratio: 1.82, 95% confidence interval: 1.32-2.51) scores. Leukoaraiosis was not a predictor of stroke recurrence in the AF group. Leukoaraiosis did not improve the predictive accuracy of the 2 scores, whether in the non-AF group (Harrell C statistic: 0.56 vs 0.59 [p = 0.31] for the model including CHADS2; 0.56 vs 0.59 [p = 0.44] for the model including CHA2DS2-VASc) or the AF group (Harrell C statistic: 0.63 vs 0.62 for the model including CHADS2; 0.64 vs 0.64 for the model including CHA2DS2-VASc). Leukoaraiosis is an independent predictor of stroke recurrence in non-AF stroke patients. However, leukoaraiosis did not increase the accuracy of the CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc scores to predict stroke recurrence in AF or non-AF stroke patients. © 2015 American Academy of Neurology.
Article: Prospective Evaluation of Post-implantation Inflammatory Response After EVAR for AAA: Influence on Patients' 30 Day Outcome[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Objectives: The aim was to prospectively evaluate post-implantation syndrome (PIS) after elective endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) and to investigate its association with clinical and laboratory parameters and the clinical outcome of the patients. Methods: From January 2010 till June 2013, 214 consecutive patients treated electively by EVAR for AAA were prospectively included. PIS was defined according to systemic inflammatory response syndrome criteria. Adverse events included any major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), acute renal failure, re-admission and death from any cause. Results: PIS was diagnosed in 77 (34%) patients. Pre-operative white blood cell (WBC) count values (p < .001), endograft material (polyester) (p < .001), and heart failure (p = .03) were independent predictors of PIS. Mean post-operative temperature (p < .001), length of hospital (p < .001) and intensive care unit (p = .008) stay, as well as maximum post-operative WBC count (p < .001) and hs-CRP values (p < .001) were significantly higher in the PIS group. Post-operative hs-CRP (p = .001) and duration of fever (p = .02) independently predicted the occurrence of MACE. Post-operative hs-CRP (p = .004), maximum temperature (p = .03), and the presence of PIS (p = .01) were independent predictors of an adverse event during the first 30 days. A threshold of post-operative hs-CRP value of 125 mg/L was highly associated with the occurrence of MACE, with a sensitivity of 82% and specificity of 75%. Conclusions: A systematic inflammatory response is observed in a significant number of patients after EVAR. The type of endograft material seems to play a significant role in this inflammatory process. The intensity of inflammation, as assessed mainly by the post-operative hs-CRP values, correlates with the presence of a cardiovascular or any other adverse event during the first 30 days after the procedure.
Conference Paper: Delays in pre-hospital and in-hospital acute ischemic stroke management
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The aim of the present study was to explore the prevalence of acute cerebrovascular symptoms temporally related to carotid Doppler examination (DEx), in order to increase the awareness and recording of such events and to discuss possible mechanisms. All adult patients who complained of acute onset neurologic symptoms during or shortly after a carotid DEx, between 01/2003 and 12/2011 in the University Hospital of Lausanne were prospectively collected. We identified four consecutive patients with acute onset neurologic symptoms during or shortly after a carotid DEx among approximately 13,500 patients who underwent carotid DEx in our facility during the nine-year period (0.015% of all examined carotids). Clinical data, imaging reports and CTA (CT angiography) or/and ultrasound images are presented for each patient. Ischemic cerebrovascular events during or immediately after cervical Doppler could be due to chance or to several physical factors. They should be promptly recognized by Doppler personnel and properly treated, but do not put into question the overwhelming benefits of Doppler in cerebrovascular patients.
Article: Proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin 9 inhibitors: Next generation in lipid-lowering therapy[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Introduction: Statins reduce low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and are currently the mainstay in the treatment of hyperlipidaemia and subsequently the prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD). Nevertheless, there is a need to further lower LDL-C, especially in subjects with severe forms of hypercholesterolaemia despite maximum doses of conventional drugs and/or in those intolerant to existing therapies. Areas covered: Emerging therapeutic approaches to lowering LDL-C involve blocking LDL-receptor degradation by serum proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin 9 (PCSK9). Human monoclonal antibodies that target PCSK9 and its interaction with the LDL-receptor (AMG145, REGN727 and RN316) have been tested in Phase I - III clinical trials for the treatment of hyperlipidaemia in patients at high CVD risk. Expert opinion: These new agents are administered subcutaneously and have been shown to have major LDL-C and apoB lowering effects either alone or in combination with statins. These novel agents are generally well tolerated and once long-term safety data are available they appear promising therapeutic platforms for the treatment of patients with hypercholesterolaemia at risk for or with CVD not controlled by conventional therapies.
Article: Anemia on admission predicts short- and long-term outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Background It is still debatable whether anemia predicts stroke outcome.AimTo describe the characteristics of patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and anemia and identify whether hemoglobin status on admission is a prognostic factor of AIS outcome.Methods All 2439 patients of the Acute Stroke Registry and Analysis of Lausanne (ASTRAL) between January 2003 and June 2011 were selected. Demographics, risk factors, prestroke treatment, clinical, radiological and metabolic variables in patients with and without anemia according to the definition of the World Health Organization were compared. Functional disability and mortality were recorded up to 12 months from admission.ResultsAnemic patients (17·5%) were older, had lower body mass index, higher rates of coronary artery disease (CAD), atrial fibrillation, diabetes mellitus and peripheral artery disease. Anemia was associated with more severe stroke manifestations, lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure measurements, worse estimated glomerular filtration rate and elevated C-reactive protein concentrations upon admission and with increased modified Rankin scores during the follow-up. Anemic patients had higher 7-day, 3-month and 12-month mortality, which was associated with hemoglobin status and other factors, including age, CAD, stroke severity, and baseline C-reactive levels. Hemoglobin levels were inversely associated with recurrent stroke and mortality throughout the 12-month follow-up.Conclusion Anemia is common among AIS patients and is associated with cardiovascular comorbidities. Low hemoglobin status independently predicts short and long-term mortality.
Article: How effective are the ESC/EAS and 2013 ACC/AHA guidelines in treating dyslipidemia? Lessons from a lipid clinic[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Objective: There is a paucity of data regarding the attainment of lipid-lowering treatment goals according to the recent American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) guidelines. The aim of the present study was to assess how applicable these 2013 recommendations are in the setting of an Outpatient University Hospital Lipid Clinic. Methods: This was a retrospective (from 1999 to 2013) observational study including 1000 consecutive adults treated for hyperlipidemia and followed up for ≥3 years. Comparisons for the applicability of current European Society of Cardiology/European Atherosclerosis Society (ESC/EAS) and recent ACC/AHA guidelines were performed. Results: Achievement rates of low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) targets set by ESC/EAS were 21%, 44% and 62% among patients at very high, high and moderate cardiovascular risk, respectively, receiving statin monotherapy. Among individuals on high-intensity statins only 47% achieved the anticipated ≥50% LDL-C reduction, i.e. the ACC/AHA target. The corresponding rate was significantly greater among those on statin + ezetimibe (76%, p < 0.05). Likewise, higher rates of LDL-C target attainment according to ESC/EAS guidelines were observed in patients on statin + ezetimibe compared with statin monotherapy (37, 50 and 71% for the three risk groups, p < 0.05 for the very high risk group). Conclusion: The application of the ACC/AHA guidelines may be associated with undertreatment of high risk patients due to suboptimal LDL-C response to high-intensity statins in clinical practice. Adding ezetimibe substantially increases the rate of the ESC/EAS LDL-C target achievement together with the rate of LDL-C lowering response suggested by the ACC/AHA.

ABSTRACT: Background/objectives The most recent ACC/AHA guidelines recommend high-intensity statin therapy in ischemic stroke patients of presumably atherosclerotic origin. On the contrary, there is no specific recommendation for the use of statin in patients with non-atherosclerotic stroke, e.g. strokes related to atrial fibrillation (AF). We investigated whether statin treatment in patients with AF-related stroke is associated with improved survival and reduced risk for stroke recurrence and future cardiovascular events. Methods All consecutive patients registered in the Athens Stroke Registry with AF-related stroke and no history of coronary artery disease nor clinically manifest peripheral artery disease were included in the analysis and categorized in two groups depending on whether statin was prescribed at discharge. The primary outcome was overall mortality; the secondary outcomes were stroke recurrence and a composite cardiovascular endpoint comprising of recurrent stroke, myocardial infarction, aortic aneurysm rupture or sudden cardiac death during the 5-year follow-up. Results Among 1602 stroke patients, 404 (25.2%) with AF-related stroke were included in the analysis, of whom 102 (25.2%) were discharged on statin. On multivariate Cox-proportional-hazards model, statin treatment was independently associated with a lower mortality (hazard-ratio (HR): 0.49, 95%CI:0.26–0.92) and lower risk for the composite cardiovascular endpoint during the median 22 months follow-up (HR: 0.44, 95%CI:0.22–0.88), but not with stroke recurrence (HR: 0.47, 95%CI:0.22–1.01, p: 0.053). Conclusions In this long-term registry of patients with AF-related stroke, statin treatment was associated with improved survival and reduced risk for future cardiovascular events.

ABSTRACT: Objective: The aim of the present work was to evaluate the combined role of eating behaviors and to investigate their effect on the likelihood of developing an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) or an ischemic stroke. Methodology: During 2009-2010, 1000 participants were enrolled; 250 consecutive patients with a first ACS (83% males, 60±12 years) and 250 control subjects, as well as 250 consecutive patients with a first ischemic stroke (56% males, 77±9 years) and 250 controls. The controls were population-based and age-sex matched with the patients. Detailed information regarding their anthropometric data, medical records and lifestyle characteristics (dietary and smoking habits, physical activity, psychological state and eating practices -using a special questionnaire-) were recorded. Five eating behaviors were selected to compose an eating behavior score for the purposes of this work: adherence to the Mediterranean diet (using the MedDietScore), frequency of breakfast consumption, eating while being stressed, eating while working and skipping meals. Eating behaviors with beneficial health effects were scored with 0, while those with negative effects were assigned score 1. The total range of the score was between 0 and 5. Higher scores reveal "unhealthier" eating practices. Results: After controlling for potential confounding factors, each unit increase of the eating behavior score was associated with 70% (95%CI: 1.29 - 2.22) higher likelihood of developing an ACS. Insignificant associations were observed regarding ischemic stroke. Conclusion: The overall adoption of specific "unhealthy" eating practices seems to have a detrimental effect on cardiovascular health, and especially coronary heart disease.

ABSTRACT: There is no strong evidence that all ischaemic stroke types are associated with high cardiovascular risk. Our aim was to investigate whether all ischaemic stroke types are associated with high cardiovascular risk. All consecutive patients with ischaemic stroke registered in the Athens Stroke Registry between 1 January 1993 and 31 December 2010 were categorized according to the TOAST classification and were followed up for up to 10 years. Outcomes assessed were cardiovascular and all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction, stroke recurrence, and a composite cardiovascular outcome consisting of myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, acute heart failure, sudden cardiac death, stroke recurrence and aortic aneurysm rupture. The Kaplan–Meier product limit method was used to estimate the probability of each end-point in each patient group. Cox proportional hazards models were used to determine the independent covariates of each end-point. Two thousand seven hundred and thirty patients were followed up for 48.1 ± 41.9 months. The cumulative probabilities of 10-year cardiovascular mortality in patients with cardioembolic stroke [46.6%, 95% confidence interval (CI) 40.6–52.8], lacunar stroke (22.1%, 95% CI 16.2–28.0) or undetermined stroke (35.2%, 95% CI 27.8–42.6) were either similar to or higher than those of patients with large-artery atherosclerotic stroke (LAA) (28.7%, 95% CI 22.4–35.0). Compared with LAA, all other TOAST types had a higher probability of 10-year stroke recurrence. In Cox proportional hazards analysis, compared with patients with LAA, patients with any other stroke type were associated with similar or higher risk for the outcomes of overall mortality, cardiovascular mortality, stroke recurrence and composite cardiovascular outcome. Large-artery atherosclerotic stroke and cardioembolic stroke are associated with the highest risk for future cardiovascular events, with the latter carrying at least as high a risk as LAA stroke.

Q: Is it alright to give only dry food to our puppies?
Mar 06, 2009
Dry food only is the best way to go, especially at a young age.
I have seen many dogs come through the shelter I worked at refuse the dry food because they've been spoiled on wet food. We would mix a few spoonfuls of wet food in with every dog's food so that it was easier to mix in meds, and because we HAD the wet food. The dogs who were used to wet food would only eat the wet food out of their bowls, and the dry food that had gotten wet.
Also, I saw a lot of small dogs there with horrible teeth from eating only wet foods. I myself think wet food is only good for older dogs when they can't chew properly anymore, or for mixing in every now and then as a treat (or to sneak the meds in)
As other users said, dry food is best for tooth health and keeps the teeth clean.

- Use a console that is already banned or 3 RLOD
- Use a Connectivity Kit
- Do your flash without the vidocable connected which gives you 5 minutes. This will activate the power without initiating the CPU that monitors the E64 error. If you are prepared well, this is enough time. If you take longer the x360 will shut down which is not good in the middle of a flash!!! Be sure to restart it before the flash to give yourself the 5 minutes.
1) Prepare your USB key (Quick Tutorial: Iprep 101 / Xtreme Boot Maker 5.3 & 3.6), if you already have one with XBM or iPrep on it will do just fine.
2) Then follow MS25/28 Flashing/Updating Tutorial
Do not ask about how to use this with Samflash, xflashm iflash..., it is not meant for it, you need to find another tutorial.

This Manuka Honey is by far the best on the planet! I've used the other honeys for skin infections before but found that this Manuka Honey MGO 550+ to be more beneficial and really has helped heal my injured hand/infection. Not only is this honey a topical dressing, but it is also delicious spread on toast, or adding to juice taking it internally. Highly recommend! RL in North Carolina

I can definitely say that I've experienced significant relief from gastric discomfort and increased bowel functioning; however the price is too hefty for my budget for such a small amount of product.

Up to six simultaneous commandsA gamer keyboard is a resistant keyboard that can handle many simultaneous commands. For example, if you're moving forward diagonally (Z + Q say) while jumping (spacebar) and recharging your weapon (R) and you don't want to run any risk of the commands not being registered, you'll need a keyboard that can handle all these commands at the same time. Most keyboards, however, aren't capable of such demands. They're often limited to two at any one time.
We tested the limits of the G19. We measured it and found that it can send up to 6 commands at any one time! We reached an average rate of 210 characters per second, while the Illuminated tops out at 70. This is an extraordinary score and alone justifies the G19's market positioning as a gamer keyboard.
Great: rapid macros during gaming
Its macro keys on the left underline this gamer aspect, with fully programmable macros. Hold down the macro record (MR) key, then choose one of the keys from G1 to G12 in one of the three available profiles and then key in your sequence. For example: MR + G12 + tap the necessary commands to advance diagonally while jumping and recharging your weapon. Hold down MR again: the macro is set up. Now every time you press the G12 key, you'll get the series of actions described. MR isn't limited to games. You can also record standard phrases to gain time. For example: G11 = "Hi, how's it going?", for your chats.
Another good idea: a cursor on the keyboard allows you to block Windows key activity during gaming.
Improved design
The screen is the best currently available from Logitech. Is it really of any use? Not as far as we're concerned, but it's up to you to decide whether being able to check CPU load and memory constantly is indispensable or not. Or of course, appreciating the option of browsing your audio or video libraries to keep yourself amused.
For us the revision made to the multimedia commands on the right will come in more useful, with, notably, a big volume scroll (we still like the scroll on the Sidewinder X6 a lot). The "*" button on the right of the image is to activate backlighting.
The down side: the look of the keys and the noise they makeOk, it's a keyboard for competition, but is there really no way of giving us all these very practical advanced features (the macros and the simplified way of creating them, automating loading of gaming profiles) without having such big and noisy keys?
We don't doubt that some like this retro, robust look that does inspire confidence. It has a truncheon-like quality to it: if you hit someone with one, the keyboard won't be the thing to break. Nevertheless, as we often say when it comes to mice, we hate the fact that gamer is synonymous with big and ugly.
When will we be getting a keyboard with all these features but with a more neutral look? Because, at the moment, they're all much the same! The G19 is even one of the most understated, certainly compared to the G15, the Microsoft X6 or the Zebord.

{Top Picks} Blazers
Blazers are such a great year round staple to have in your wardrobe. The blazer is something I've been wearing for a while and I love all of the options of textures, lengths and styles that I've been seeing everywhere! I'm sure you've seen me in a veriety of blazers ranging from a fun floral, an every day basic , a colorful Animal print , and the classic stripe blazer here & here It instantly adds a hint sophistication to any outfit making something like a casual jean and tee look incredibly chic.
I've been loving short suits a lot this summer because of the simple fact that I can take the blazer from the suits as seen here & here and pair it with a different bottom! Creating a completely different outfit and making the most out of the pieces I have! Blazers will always be a part of my wardrobe because they easily take my outfits from meetings to a night out and work for so many other occasions. I couldn't imagine my closet without them. Here are a few top picks for blazers that would a great addition to yours!
|1.ASOS Blazer in Longline with Notch Lapel|2.ASOS Blazer In Textured Boucle|3.A Wear Pintuck Blazer|4.BB Dakota Gabrie Crossover Back Blazer|5.Ella Moss Citrus Floral Blazer|6.Topshop Notch Neck Jacket|7.Topshop Waffel Waterfall Jacket |8.Topshop Floral Print Crop Jacket |
If you're going to be adding blazers to your wardrobe but not sure how to style them, here are my Top 4 favorite ways to wear them :
1. with trousers great for a meeting outfit
2. as a short suit for a matchy matchy look
3.with a skater skirt for a feminine feel
4.casually with denim pants or shorts and a tee, for a more laid back approach like I wore here & here .
Do you have some good blazer recommendations for this: http://whatgoeswiththis.co/#request/60.
Thanks so much for this awesome post!
I LOVE blazers!!! I can wear them all day, everyday! I'm also digging picks 2 & 4 that you've chosen
Nice, much interesting post!!!
#4 and 7 are so cute and versatile! I like the way they're shaped because they seem to be flattering for all body shapes.
Love the cut of blazer 4!
xo Your Daily Break
I love the second one!!
xoxo, Diana ☠
great choices, but number 6 is definitely my favorite one <3
No 1 is great! White blazers are great for dressing up an outfit or vamping it up! I especially like the lapels on this one.
CHECK OUT MY LATEST POST http://sapphire-brushstrokes.blogspot.co.uk/2013/08/denim-on-denim.html?m=1
I love number 2!
Since I sew almost all of my blazers, I have them in many colors and shapes. I love outerwear, especially blazers, and much like you said – I cannot imagine my wardrobe without them. Since most of my blazers are usually fun and stand out in a certain way, I usually keep the rest of my outfit very clean so the blazer can really be the showpiece. Have a fun time in Greece!
My arms are chubby at the top so I struggle with finding a size 12 blazer without the seams screaming out to break so i have no choice but to buy a size 14 [UK] but I like styling mine with a nice plain vest top and skirt :D. Might buy a few more in different colours or accessorise them :D.

The Bridgetown resident started brewing homemade beer in the 1990s, perfecting recipes and dabbling in craft brewing long before the craft beer market gained traction.
"Craft brewing wasn't as big back then as it is now," he said.
"I'm a handyman at heart and I like making things. I've always thought it's interesting you can take all these ingredients and make something drinkable. It's satisfying to enjoy the results."
Gunnarson, an Oak Hills High School alumnus who works as an information technology professional by day, said although he would have loved opening a brewery back then he just didn't have the time to commit to such an endeavor.
Now that he's a little older and has a family, he decided it was time to start pursuing his dream.
He and his wife, Heather Glenn-Gunnarson, are working to open Bridgetown Brew Works, a family-owned craft brewery and taproom paying homage to the West Side's German heritage and the region's brewing tradition.
"Cincinnati has a handful of craft beer options, but few really represent our beer-loving legacy," he said. "By honoring our heritage, we're bringing some West Side flavor to the local beer market and giving the Queen City a new, authentically Cincinnati destination."
The husband and wife team has started an online fundraising campaign and has been applying for business loans to get their brewery started, and Gunnarson said he hopes to be able to open Bridgetown Brew Works sometime later this year.
He said they've been eying sites and properties in the Cheviot and Green Township areas for their venture, but they haven't yet settled on a location.
Once it's up and running, he said Bridgetown Brew Works will feature a taproom where customers can enjoy the brewery's in-house beer varieties, along with other craft beers made in the area.
The brewery itself will be where Gunnarson brews and cans his own craft beers. The in-house brews have names most West Siders will recognize – Oak Hills Lager, Hairpin IPA, Muddy Creek Wheat and Bridgetown Hefeweizen.
Gunnarson he's also developing a beer to represent Elder High School, and they'll make root beer and other natural sodas, which will be named Roland Sodas.
"We want to bring something special to our neighborhood," he said. "Good, local, handcrafted beer made right here in our community, Cincinnati's West Side."
As part of the community, he said they'll also be donating 5 percent of their quarterly profits to area charities.
"We want to be more than a local microbrewery that makes great beer. We want to be partners with our community," Gunnarson said.

This post is actually a re-post of a post I did a little under year ago during PDC '05 after attending a talk by Rico Mariani and chatting with him afterwards. The original post is here.
The reason I thought to re-post this is I was talking to a couple of fellow Cider-tonions about some perf analysis work that was being done and I figured it would be a useful thing to share. Here it is:
Shared Bytes vs Private BytesA shared byte is one that can be shared across multiple processes. A private byte cannot. So what bytes qualify as shareable? Unaltered pages of a dll where the backing file for that dll is not the page file but the dll itself.Anytime a page of code or data from a dll needs to change for a particular process, it is marked dirty and becomes private. This can occur on pages that have references to objects on the heap, pages that have code offsets that get modified after load time, or on pages in the data segment that change.A quick way to have almost all of your dll marked private is to have it rebased during load time.This concept mainly applies to NGEN'd images as non-NGEN'd images mainly consist of IL that will be JIT compiled on the loader heap and therefore will all be private. The IL is shared, but it is discarded after JIT anyhow. [addition: if a non-NGEN'd assembly gets rebased, the whole assembly will still be loaded and checked for fixups which can be a performance hit]It's important to realize that the benefit of shared bytes are just that: that they can be shared across multiple processes and their cost can be amortized across the number of processes using those bytes. For assemblies like the .Net Framework assemblies, having shared bytes is a clear benefit. That said, in non-sharing cases, optimizing for shared bytes may sub-optimize your code so caveat emptor.FixupsThe term "fixups" refers to "fixing up" an address in the code to a new address. Since this modifies a page for a given process, any page that has a fixup, also becomes private.Reducing Private BytesThe following are some ways you can reduce the number of private bytes:
String Freezing and Hard BindingString Freezing and Hard Binding are both great examples of how the concepts above are being applied.
In .Net 2.0, you can mark an assembly such that it will freeze its string literals. What that means is that all of the strings in that assembly will be put in a separate segment (during NGEN) so that all of the references to string literals will not require a fixup.
The reason strings need fixups is because the literals need to be wrapped in a string instance and the code then points to those instances.
With string freezing, there is a benefit in that the string isn't duplicated in the literal and the string instance as well as the reduction in private pages. Note as well that those string instances are interned (with opt in/opt out in whibey see the article here) to avoid duplication.
The downside of string freezing is that such an assembly cannot be unloaded -- because the reference to that string now resides in a segment of that dll instead of on the heap and code in other assemblies may be depending on that reference.
Hard binding refers to another new NGEN feature where NGEN assumes that a reference from one assembly to another is always going to be there. That allows NGEN to hard code offsets from one assembly to another reducing the need for load time fixups.
The downside is that any assemblies that are hard bound will be loaded at the same time as the referencing assembly. This is in order to guarantee that the desired load addresses are gotten.

In this paper we present an advanced functional extraction tool for automatic generation of high-level RTL from switch-level circuit netlist representation. The tool is called FEV-Extract and is part of a comprehensive Formal Equivalence Verification (FEV) system developed at Intel to verify modern microprocessor designs. FEV-Extract employs a powerful hierarchical analysis procedure, and advanced and generic algorithms for automatic recognition of logical primitives, to cope with variety of circuit design styles and their complexity. Logic equations are then extracted to generate a behavioral RTL model described in industrial standard HDL languages, to be used in the formal equivalence verification, logic simulation, synthesis and testability flows.

Kevin is a stand-up guy - a gentleman and a great musician. Have seen him in LA at "The Baked Potato" and he's phenomenal - love that he's a Philly original too. I hope Jay Leno gives him some of the spotlight - let Kevin do a solo -- let him go for it!!
I love Kevin. Keep doing what you are doing and maybe a time will come for some really good jazz.
Please do a new album with the tunes you do from the Jay leno show!

Strong earnings result from tech-bellwether Apple powered the
Nasdaq to its best performance this year, while fellow benchmarks
also enjoyed gains riding on the bullish sentiment. The markets'
rally was further spurred on by the Federal Reserve Chairman's
comments that the central bank "would not hesitate" to bolster the
economy if needed.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) gained 0.7% and settled
at 13,090.72. The Standard & Poor 500 (S&P 500) jumped 1.4%
to close yesterday's trading session at 1,390.69. The Nasdaq
Composite Index soared 2.3% to end substantially higher at
3,029.63. With investors receiving strength from positive corporate
results and optimistic comments from the central bank, the
fear-gauge CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) declined 7.1% to settle at
16.82. Consolidated volumes on the New York Stock Exchange, the
Nasdaq, and the American Stock Exchange were 6.8 billion shares,
marginally ahead of this year's daily average of 6.77 billion.
Advancers had a better run over the declining stocks on the NYSE;
as for every stock that declined, more than three stocks ended
The earnings season has enjoyed fair weather till now and a
number of key companies have come out with positive figures.
Thomson Reuters data suggest that three-fourths of the 200 S&P
500 companies, reporting so far, have surpassed the Street's
estimates. The latest addition to the list is tech-bellwether Apple
Inc. (NASDAQ:
). Earnings soared 92.2% year-on-year, while revenues jumped
59.0% year over year, beating the Street's estimates by a wide
margin. Apple moved $49.72 or 8.9% higher to close at $610.00 a
Further, according to data from Thomson Reuters, estimated
earnings growth of companies in the S&P 500 shot up to 6.9%
from 4.6% following Apple's results. Apple also helped the Nasdaq
chalk up strong gains and post its best daily results for the year.
The company's robust figures were primarily due to strong demand
for the iPhone 4S and the new iPad.
Subsequently, the technology sector had a great run and the
Technology Select Sector SPDR (
) jumped 2.8%. Stocks including International Business Machines
Corporation (NYSE:
), Google Inc. (NASDAQ:
), Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:
), Dell Inc. (NASDAQ:
), Hewlett-Packard Company (NYSE:
) and EMC Corporation (NYSE:
) gained 1.8%, 1.4%, 2.0%, 1.5%, 1.6% and 2.4%, respectively.
The benchmarks' rally was also spurred by comments from central
bank chairman Ben Bernanke. Investors chose to focus on the
positives and their positive mood was clearly reflected by the
benchmarks. After a meeting with Federal Open Market Committee in
Washington, Ben Bernanke commented: "We remain prepared to do more
as needed to make sure that this recovery continues and that
inflation stays close to target". Investors grew hopeful
about the third-round of bond purchase plan and Bernanke fuelled
the optimism as he said: "Those tools remain very much on the table
and we will not hesitate to use them should the economy require
that additional support".
Bernanke added that the economy is expanding modestly but there
a few factors out to be concerned about. He stated the housing
sector "remains depressed". Speaking on the labor market he said:
"Labour market conditions have improved further; the unemployment
rate has declined notably in recent months but remains elevated".
The labor market is of utmost importance and the central bank will
look at it closely to decide on policy measures. "If unemployment
looks like it's no longer making progress, that will be an
important consideration in thinking about policy options," the Fed
chairman added.
While these positives dominated the mood, the U.S. Census Bureau
reported new orders for manufactured durable goods to have dropped
4.2% to $202.6 billion in March, following a 1.9% increase in
February. The decline is far wider than consensus estimates of a
1.5% decline.

I've been putting together a Silverlight demo "canvas" that tries to walk through various capabilities of Silverlight from drawing primitives to animations. One of the things I wanted to do was a "bouncing ball" simulation. I came across this post by Karsten Januszewski which describes the use of Bezier curves in Avalon (now WPF) to simulate bouncing balls. It was very easy to take this and "convert" it to Silverlight XAML.
The illusion isn't perfect but it's good enough for me right now. Karsten also published an Avalon application to help you figure out the right values to use for your KeySplines. Of course it doesn't work anymore as it was on an early build of WPF but I'd like to have a play and see if I can get it working again.
Ignore the "big" ball bouncing past - that was an early attempt left in there to show the animation of other properties such as Width and Fill. I've captured it as an animated GIF so you can see the effect. I just noticed the artefacts on the "big" ball - those are a result of capturing as an animated GIF. It doesn't look like that in my browser!
<Storyboard RepeatBehavior="Forever">
Storyboard.TargetProperty="(Canvas.Top)" AutoReverse="True">
<SplineDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="00:00:2" KeySpline="0.2,0.8 0.8,0.9" Value="300"/>

Width ="50" Height="50">
<RadialGradientBrush GradientOrigin="0.75,0.25">
<GradientStop Color="Orange" Offset="0" />
<GradientStop Color="Red" Offset="1" />
I wrote a SilverLight "bouncing shapes" demo that does real 2d bouncing and not just storyboards. A demo and the code is available at http://blogs.msdn.com/jmstall/archive/2007/05/18/my-first-silverlight-1-1-app.aspx.
Slightly off topic but, how did you capture the animated gif? I've got some silverlight animations that I'd like to show to some people who are slightly behind the MS beta curve...
Mike - Thanks for the pointer. I took a look at your demo and (coincidentally) I built one very similar using JavaScript rather than managed code. The key thing about what I was / am trying to do was simulate a gravitational effect which I've not really managed to do satisfactorily either with animation using KeySplines or in code...
Jeff - I used Camtasia. We use it to produce our "Nugget" videos and I noticed it also had the capability to produce animated GIFs. If you want me to capture some for you I'd be happy to (if they're somewhere I can access them). Mike

Photo: Ozomatli's Newest Album "Ozokidz" is For Their Younger Fans
Ozomatli, the band that gained international fame with its fusion of styles ranging from salsa, jazz, funk and reggae to rap, cumbia, merengue and hip hop, now adds to its repertoire a new disc for youngsters dubbed "Ozokidz."
The original idea, according to vocalist and trumpet player Asdrubal "Azdru" Sierra, arose when band members commented on the constant absence of friends and fans from their concerts.
"We knew a lot of fans didn't come to our shows because they couldn't get a babysitter, so that's where we got the idea of doing concerts that were kid-friendly as well," he said.
Their idea finally came together when PBS television asked them to record some educational numbers for its online children's programming.
At the same time, Sierra said, the band wanted to be proud of their recording as musicians.
"My kids played their records for me and they were horrible to listen to, which is why we wanted to make a disc that grownups could enjoy too," he said.
"Ozokidz" is made up of 14 songs including "Piraña," "Let's Go to the Movies," "Germs" and "Changuito," which don't sound like traditional children's music but they do have educational messages.
"We don't want to get mixed up in politics but we do want to teach good manners, good behavior and the difference between good and bad," Sierra said.
