Efficacy of a novel oral single-agent fumarate, BG00012, in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis: results of a phase 2 study
L. Kappos, D.H. Miller, D.G. MacManus, R. Gold, E. Havrdova, V. Limmroth, C. Polman, K. Schmierer, T. Yousry, M. Yang, M. Eraksoy, E. Meluzinova, I. Rektor, G.N. O'Neill (Basel, CH; London, GB; Gottingen, D; Prague, CZ; Cologne, D; Amsterdam, NL; Cambridge, USA; Istanbul, TR; Brno, CZ)
Objective: To determine the efficacy of three dose levels of BG00012, a novel oral fumarate preparation, on brain lesion activity as measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS).
Methods: This was a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial of BG00012 in patients with RRMS. Men and women 18 to 55 years of age were eligible for the study if they had a diagnosis of RRMS and an Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score between 0.0 and 5.0. In addition, patients must have had either >=1 relapse within 12 months prior to randomisation or gadolinium-enhancing (Gd+) lesions on cranial MRI at screening. Patients were assigned to four treatment groups and received BG00012 capsules 120 mg by mouth (PO) once daily (120 mg/day), 120 mg three times daily (360 mg/day), 240 mg three times daily (720 mg/day), or placebo for 24 weeks. The treatment period was followed by a 24-week dose-blinded safety-extension period during which all patients received BG00012. The primary end point was the total number of Gd+ lesions over four MRI scans at weeks 12, 16, 20, and 24 (calculated as the sum of the four scans). Secondary end points included the cumulative number of new Gd+ lesions from week 4 to week 24 and the number of new/enlarging T2-hyperintense lesions at week 24. Additional end points included the number of new T1-hypointense lesions at week 24, relapse rate, and disability progression as measured by EDSS.
Results: A total of 257 patients were enrolled in the study; 64 patients each were randomly assigned to receive one of the three BG00012 doses and 65 patients to placebo. Approximately 90% of patients completed the 24-week treatment period. BG00012 (720 mg/day) significantly reduced the mean number of new Gd+ lesions (the primary end point) compared with placebo. In addition, BG00012 reduced the cumulative number of new Gd+ lesions, the number of new/enlarging T2-hyperintense lesions, and the number of new T1-hypointense lesions compared with placebo.
Conclusion: BG00012 significantly reduces brain lesion activity, in a dose-dependent manner, as measured by MRI in patients with RRMS over 24 weeks of treatment.

It turned out to be the perfect venue for my very first Antony and the Johnsons concert: The Sixth and I Synagogue in Washington, D.C., is a breathtaking space with a gorgeous domed structure and attention to detail — detail that includes terra cotta carvings and a stained-glass Star of David. It all made for a glorious atmosphere to hear a great band of musicians led by the angelic quiver of Antony Hegarty.
Hegarty's unique tenor has graced the songs of Lou Reed, Bjork, Bryan Ferry, Rufus Wainwright and Hercules and Love Affair. On this night, however, he focused on music from his new CD, The Crying Light, as well as his 2005 breakthrough (I Am a Bird Now) and a few surprises.
In addition to presenting the entire Feb. 3 concert here — and on the All Songs Considered Live Concerts podcast — we've also just begun a partnership with Pitchfork.tv. So now you can see Hegarty and his talented band of musicians by clicking here.

Nowadays society is about doing what we should can for the atmosphere. The small things can also add up with time and it is good to understand easy changes we are able to make within our lives to be able to reduce how big our carbon foot prints.
One thing that individuals consider is switching to using re-functional towels for his or her everyday household cleaning rather than using sponges.
The argument presented is it takes lots of energy and chemicals to ensure they are, and thus despite the fact that they're biodegradable since they are made from wood, they're worse on our atmosphere purely due to the way they are produced.

Chan Lowe: The insult of NFL blackouts
I'll admit to knowing nothing about the business of sports, but it strikes me that there is something fundamentally wrong with a business plan that requires a stadium to sell out for a professional game before local fans of that team are allowed to watch a game on TV.
If the owners have to resort to that kind of strong-arm tactic, then maybe they're peddling something defective. Who wants to sit out in the elements freezing, or broiling, or getting rained on in seats that are so far away from the action that the players look like little dots on a mat, when high-def television allows the typical NFL aficionado to visually undress a cheerleader as if he were within smacking distance of her pompons?
Or maybe it's just that the tickets and ancillary refreshments are too expensive to be worth leaving the security and comfort of one's lounge chair for.
Since so much revenue is to be made from TV, anyway, why don't they just scrap the crowds altogether, and have the teams play in a large white room over which a virtual stadium has been digitally superimposed, with a roaring sound track running in the background? Think of the money that will be saved by property-tax payers who won't get shaken down by owners to finance new sports palaces.
It makes sense to me, but then I'm the kind of person who watches a PBS documentary during the Super Bowl.

Nursing Pillows: The Yay to the Nay
Let's be honest: breastfeeding can be tough. Particularly, in the early weeks when it might be awkward and uncomfortable. But pretty soon, you get a routine down, your breasts don't hurt as much, and you figure out a method that is both comfortable for you and your baby.
One of the things that can aid in this process is a nursing pillow. There aren't a ton of nursing pillow options on the market and mothers seems to have diehard opinions about the one they have chosen for themselves.
I put three nursing pillows to the test to see which one is the right one for me.
1.Boppy Nursing Pillow
The most commonly used nursing pillow is the Boppy. It's a horseshoe shaped pillow that you put around your waist while sitting and lie your baby on so that he/she is at optimal distance from your breast. Obviously, you need much less arm strength if your baby is fully supported than if you have to hold him or her up to your breast yourself. It comes in many different patterns and colors, and the cover is removable so you can throw it in the wash.
The Boppy is simple and works great, with the cushion being just supportive and high enough to place the baby in the optimal breastfeeding position. Although I do wonder if it works for larger women. I am pretty average sized but in the days after my pregnancy, when I still had the baby weight to lose, I found the Boppy did not quite fit around my waist. Otherwise, it's very easy to use and we have it lying on the couch at all times because when I am not breastfeeding, it is the perfect place to use as a little seat for the baby.
As a sidenote, since my baby had a bad case of acid reflux, the Boppy has been the best place to sit her since her head is propped up but her legs are flat to the ground. In most bouncy seats, her legs angle up toward her tummy which makes her spit-up every time. But keep in mind, your baby has to be two-to-three months old before they are big enough to sit in the Boppy.
2. My Brest Friend Nursing Pillow
Yes, the name, My Brest Friend, is HORRIBLE. But, I've had friends who swear up and down that My Brest Friend is the only way to go. My Brest Friend is much more structured than the Boppy with a foam interior as opposed to just a regular soft pillow. Lying the baby on the My Brest Friend is like lying them on a soft contoured yet flat surface, which prevents the baby from rolling in or away while maintaining her latch. Since it wraps entirely around your body, it has both back support and arm rests. The other major difference is that My Brest Friend has an adjustable strap that hold the pillow in place around your waist. If you wanted, you could stand up and walk around and the pillow would walk around with you.
At first, I thought I liked My Brest Friend better than the Boppy. It stayed in place while the Boppy might shifts as you feed your baby. The height of the pillow is optimal for breastfeeding and your baby is definitely more supported. The back support and arm rests both add additional comfort. And I liked the little pocket on the side which I used to put her pacifier.
But ultimately, I got annoyed having to stand up and strap the pillow around me, particularly in the middle of the night when the baby was in a bassinet attached to my bed. It felt much more natural for me to drag the Boppy over to my already seated self. Not to mention, it saved some time if the baby was crying or really hungry, since I could pull the Boppy around me without putting the baby down and picking her up again. No so with My Brest Friend.
The other thing to consider is that My Brest Friend is a bit of an eyesore if you leave it lying around and cannot be used as a seat for the baby. However, if you feel you want more support while breastfeeding, it's probably the way to go over the Boppy. I didn't feel that level of support was necessary.
3. Leachco Natural Boost Nursing Pillow
The Leachco Natural Boost Pillow is similar to the horseshoe shape of the Boppy but it has an extra stuffed appendage that shoots out of the top. When you breastfeed, you can push the appendage down on either side, depending on which breast you are feeding, so that your baby is supported in a diagonal position and more upright on your breast.
Initially, I thought this idea was genius, particularly since acid reflux babies are supposed to be fed in a more upright position. But the execution of the pillow is lacking. The pillow is so stuffed so high and fat, that it practically put the baby up by my chin. It was laughable. When I compared the pillow to the picture on the package, it was stuffed almost twice as much. I began to wonder if this pillow was meant for people with especially long torsos. I ended up finding it more comfortable to angle the appendage under my upper arm opposite of the breast my baby was feeding on, but it still was just way too big of a pillow to position the baby correctly.
If the Leachco boost nursing pillow had about half as much stuffing, it might be a real contender.
Overall, I think choosing between the Boppy and My Brest Friend is a personal decision. So my suggestion is, get the Boppy. If you feel you want more support that stays in place, buy My Brest Friend. No matter what pillow you ultimately breastfeed with, you're going to want the Boppy as a place to sit the baby.

This baby around, I also tried the Balboa Baby feeding pillow. It was REALLY firm/dense, and lifted the baby up very high which was awesome with a new-newborn. BUT, the pillow angles in towards mom, so the baby kind of rolls towards you and that can be annoying. I gave mine to a mom in my building who had a c-section and she said it was really helpful for her to have the baby up high without any lifting/propping on her part.
I'd love to hear anyone's review of the similar looking JJ Cole pillow. And Boppy has some new designs out, too. (You know, research for NEXT time)
Christy Mar 18 at 1:36 pm Reply
Thanks for the rundown – awesome. I used a boppy for my first two and liked it fine – it worked for us.
But this time around I am expecting twins. Do you have any advice/recommendations for tandem nursing multiples?
Pretty sure I need a bit more support than a boppy since I'll be down an arm.
Autumn Mar 18 at 1:57 pm Reply
A former co-worker said my breast friend makes a twin version of the pillow. Apparently it's huge but you can get them both latched on at the same time with some practice
Brenda Apr 02 at 3:17 pm Reply
I had twins less than two years ago. I was able to nurse for 14 months. I HIGHLY recommend the Double Blessings Twin Pillow. It worked so much better for us the My Breast Friend. I attribute much of my success to the comfort of that pillow.

I used a boppy for a little while, or at least I tried to. I'm not that big, but whose post-pregnant waist is supposed to be in that little thing? I ended up creating a great system with pillows that allowed me to be flexible with the various positions I could feed in (football vs. cradle). I ended up using the boppy as a baby-holder after a couple of months. She enjoyed it, so we still got some good use out of it.

Thank you so much!!!!
Carrie Mar 18 at 4:11 pm Reply
Thanks for the comparison! I tried to use the Boppy but maybe I am actually too skinny for it? There was always a big gap between my belly and the pillow that the baby would roll into, so it didn't work for me at all. Is it supposed to go all the way around you so the two 'arms' are touching in back? Seems like that would be very uncomfortable. It was a nice seat for the baby though!

This is a little high-maintenance of me (and expensive!) but I loved having a boppy by my chair in the living room for daytime feedings and tummy time and a My Brest Friend (I cringe just typing the name) by my bed. I have some shoulder and wrist problems so the extra support when feeding in bed was quite welcome – when I tried to use the boppy in bed, I still required an elaborate system of several other pillows to support my arms and back enough.
Another minor note – while the boppy covers are pretty easy to get on and off, the MBF covers are a HUGE PAIN to change (the downside of the pillow being so firm and structured, I suppose). I found that it helped with my big-spitting baby to get some smallish waterproof flannel pads, and/or burp cloths, to lay over the top of the pillow during feedings.

I have both the Boppy and My Brest Friend. Though I used both fairly regularly (the Boppy in the living room for BFing during the day, and the MBF in the bedroom for BFing at night), I have to say, if you are only going to choose one, I'd also go with a Boppy.
Now that my 7mo is sitting up on her own, and especially when she was first learning to sit up, I used the Boppy to put behind her so that if she toppled over, she wouldn't bump her head on the floor. I still use it to spot her.
I am also currently using it as a barrier between my laptop and lap

Heh, the Boppy IS an excellent laptop stand
Danielle Mar 19 at 2:15 pm Reply
It's not necessary to stand to put on the My Breast Friend. I used to put it on while seated — in bed, on the couch, in a chair. I'd just lean forward a bit, wrap the back piece around, buckle, then adjust a little so it was positioned how I like it.
I also had a c-section, and found the My Breast Friend very comfortable and non irritating.
And I loved that I could stand while using it, without it falling off (still supporting baby with an arm though).
That said… I used the breast feeding pillow for only the first few weeks. Then I figured out how to hold my daughter without it (may have helped that she was a bigger baby, and I'm petite, so she practically nestled in my lap). If I were to do it over, I wouldn't bother buying one at all, and would just use a regular pillow until the baby outgrew it.

I had a hoppy with my first son and it did not work for me. I am long waisted and plus sized, so when I put the boppy on it didn't wrap around me properly and was too short, so the baby would roll into the gap between the boppy and me, winding up with his nose practically on my belly button. I used it a couple of times for tummy time, and a few times on car trips as a neck pillow, but it never worked for me as a nursing pillow. With #2 I just used soft throw pillows that could be squashed into shape as needed and tried to sit in chairs with arms as much as possible and that worked for us. I would also sit on the floor, lean against the couch or bed, and bend my knees with a pillow on them to support the baby and that worked too.

Like AmyRenee, I am long-waisted and the Boppy did NOT work for me. Baby was about 4 inches south of where he needed to be, lol. I wanted to try the MBF but couldn't bring myself to spend money on another nursing pillow that may not work. Regular bed pillows worked best for me, but if I have another I definitely want to try MBF.
Elena Mar 21 at 4:45 pm Reply
Another long-waisted mommy here, and I had the "My Breast Friend". I found it didn't go up high enough and i had to bend over, which was awkward. Also, since I had a c-section, it was very uncomfortable to have to close up, but otherwise there would be a gap for baby to fall through. The head bump was also weirdly placed and didn't work for us. I pretty much gave it up and opted for nursing lying down, which was most comfortable given my post-op state.
Tracy Mar 22 at 11:53 pm Reply
I liked the Boppy, but also had a Blessed Nest pillow, which is crescent shaped, and filled with buckwheat husks – The dent made by the baby stays dented, and I didn't feel like the baby would roll off if I took my hand off of her for a sec –
The crescent shape lets it fit around your body, without any concern about your girth –
Carrie Mar 23 at 6:44 pm Reply
The Boppy didn't work for me at all. MBF (as much as I hated the name) worked so much better. Sometimes the back support was annoying if you're trying to sit back in a chair or to have to do the buckle up, but it supported my baby so much better. I'm a larger and had quite a large chest thanks to nursing, so the lack of a gap between me and the pillow (of the MBF pillow) helped immensely. I bought it to take on vacation because I didn't know what kind of pillows I'd have access to and didn't want to bring 2-3 from home just for nursing. Yes, it's not very asthetically appealing, but it work so well I don't care. Definitely recommend it for anyone with a larger body/chest.

The Boppy now has a pillow with a detachable belt, which I am thinking about adding to my registry. I saw it at Target http://www.target.com/p/boppy-nursing-pillow-pinwheels/-/A-14386022#prodSlot=medium_1_26&term=boppy. It's another four months until I have the chance to test it though.

I found a YAY YAY YAY! I found it online and I haven't seen it in stores but it should be. Its called Shuga Bebe Couture. I had the my brest friend and wasnt a fan at all. It was such a hassle and huge! The one I found is great. Its higher so my arms dont get tired at all. And before I started using it my son would spit up alot after eating. This one is sloped so he doesnt do it nearly as much anymore. He's actually so comfortable that even when he's done he still lays there. I enjoy the extra bonding time. I think this will be my new go to gift for baby showers. Its absolutely amazing.

How do I warm up the car with a LO by myself?
I'm a single mom of a 16-month-old, dreading winter because I can't see how I'm going to get us in the car in the morning to go to work: Last winter, she was a baby, so I just got her all snuggled into her car seat and carried her out to the car, but now that she's bigger, her new carseat is the kind that stays in the car. Also, I lived with my parents (now I don't), so they watched her while I went out to warm up the car and clean off the snow/ice. I hate to take her out to the car with me to warm it up, especially on the below-zero days (lots of those here) because I feel bad having her sit there in the freezing cold while the car warms up and I clean it off. But I don't want to leave her alone in the apartment while I go out & do that. I'm stumped. All I can think of is to put her in her playpen with lots of toys and books & put on some music so she doesn't hear me sneak out the door & then just hurry as fast as I can. Any other suggestions? Thanks!

Thank you so much for answering my question! I was beginning to wonder if anyone was going to help me at all! Your suggestions worked like a charm - thank you!! The De-Icer spray is amazing, practically instantaneously fast, and the baby monitor gave me peace of mind that my LO wasn't screaming her head off while I dashed out to start the car. Putting her in the playpen with books and toys and music and sneaking out the door and RUNNING worked! haha! Thank you very much!posted 11/08/2011 by isa'smommy2010
Do u still have her baby monitor? will they work at the distance between where she'll be in the apartment and the car? Have you tried using the spray "Melt Away De-Icer", it's a godsend for people that have ice on their windshields in the morning. This is a tough situation. With the "de-icer" spray though, u wouldn't have to keep her in the car long to warm it up (if you took her w/ you). I tell ya, those things work FAST!! hope this helps a little.posted 11/05/2011 by gypsyfilly

Yoga for the Rehabilitation of Socially Disadvantaged and Visually Impaired Subject K.V. Naveen, B. Rajesh, Srinivas, R.Nagarathna and Shirley Telles
Vivekananda Kendra Yoga Research Foundation No.9, Appajappa agrahar, Chamarajpet, Bangalore - 560018, India.
Abstract: This study was designed (i) to compare autonomic parameters in two categories of subjects (age range 12 to 17 years), viz. community home girls (CH, n=20) who were admitted due to problems in adjusting in society, and congenitally blind subjects (CB, n=28) with appropriate age-matched, control groups i.e. children staying at home and those with normal vision, respectively, (ii) to compare the effect of yoga with games (n= 14 each) in the CH group and the effects of yoga with gardening (n=12 each) in the CB group. Polygraphic recordings were made of respiration, EKG, and skin resistance. The community home group were randomly assigned to yoga and games groups and followed up after six months, while for the congenitally blind group subjects were randomly assigned to yoga and physical activity group with a follow up after three weeks. In the first comparison community home girls had significantly faster, irregular breathing (indicative of anxiety) and lower skill resistance, while blind children had faster, irregular breathing and higher heart rates and diastolic blood pressure values. In the second comparison the yoga groups of both categories of subjects showed a decrease in breath rate, which became more rhythmic. Hence a yoga program including relaxation and awareness is useful in the rehabilitation of these subjects. Key words: Community home; congenitally blind; autonomic measures; Yoga. INTRODUCTION Mental arousal may be correlated with diverse factors related to family or environment, as well as the status of one's physical and mental health. For example children in a community home in Finland were described as physically normally developed but were socially and emotionally traumatized (Ahvenainen, Lindholm, & Nikkanen, 1984). A report on physiological measures showed that the resting electrical activity of selected facial and back muscles was significantly higher in community home boys than in a control group of the same age in an ordinary school (Rauhala, Alho, Hanninen, & Helin, 1990). Another group of subjects who were reported to have significantly greater levels of anxiety than usual is subjects with impaired vision. This greater anxiety was specially related to physical threat (Ollendick, Matson. & Helsel,1985). In a blind-sighted comparison, blind persons were found to have a significantly higher heart rate while walking along an unfamiliar route as well as for five minutes after it (Wycherley & Nicklin, 1970). This was ascribed to psychological, rather than physical stress. The practice of yoga is known to reduce autonomic arousal (Wallace, Benson, & Wilson, 1971; Joseph, Sridharan, Patil, Kumaria, Selvamurthy, Joseph, & Nayar, 1981). Increased physical activity has been shown to reduce autonomic reactivity to mental stressors (Steptoe, Kearsley, & Walters). The present report compares the autonomic arousal of two groups of subjects, i.e. socially disadvantaged community home girls (Telles, Narendran, Raghuraj, Nagarathna, & Nagendra 1997) and physically disadvantaged blind children. Both groups were compared to their respective control groups. The second part of the report describes and compares the use of yoga with games or physical activity such as gardening.

Mortgage Headwinds to Hit Banks in First Quarter: FBR
TheStreet) -- Strong mortgage originations have propped up earnings for banks over the last several quarters, but the trend may have weakened in the first quarter, according to FBR Capital analyst Paul Miller. In a note Friday, Miller recommended avoiding "origination-reliant" names, specifically those trading above book value."We now believe that 1Q13 stands to be lower than we expected from an industry origination standpoint, largely driven by seasonal weakness with the most significant impact at larger originators and potentially driving near-term weakness across the group," he wrote. While the Mortgage Bankers Association estimates first quarter originations totaled $482 billion, Miller said that based on conversations within the industry, originations were likely lower than expected, closer to $400 billion. The analyst lowered his earnings estimates for Bank of America (BAC - Get Report), Fifth Third Bancorp (FITB), Flagstar Bancorp (FBC - Get Report), US Bancorp (USB - Get Report), SunTrust (STI - Get Report) and Wells Fargo (WFC - Get Report), to reflect reduced originations. Low interest rates and an expanded government refinance program have boosted refinance volumes while fresh mortgage originations are starting to slowly creep higher. Banks have also raked in profits from gain-on-sale margins -- the profits they earn on selling the refinanced loans to investors. Many analysts fear that the refinance boom will peter out, ending the winning streak for banks that have rideen the wave, especially Wells Fargo. Still, FBR remains positive on mortgage banking for the rest of the year as low interest rates and government initiatives to expand mortgage credit continue to fuel volume growth. "We continue to believe the perceived "refinance cliff" will happen later rather than sooner, with the hopes that refinance volumes will remain elevated long enough for the purchase market to continue to gain traction," Miller wrote. "Though gains on the purchase side have been incremental thus far, housing supply improvements and mortgages for additional credit tranches provide meaningful tailwinds to volumes even as gain-on-sale margins continue to contract."

Heartburn 101 - Meds and Remedies to Treat Acid Reflux
Heartburn 101 - Meds and Remedies to Treat Acid Reflux
Acid Reflux Food To Avoid
There are many remedies, both over-the-counter and prescription, that are used to treat heartburn and GERD, and many people find helpful. For others, they want an alternate, natural way of treating their heartburn. These range from folk and homeopathic remedies to healthy diets to lifestyle changes.
Proton Pump Inhibitors[ br] Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are a group of prescription medications that prevent the release of acid in the stomach and intestines. Doctors prescribe PPIs to treat people with heartburn (acid reflux), ulcers of the stomach or intestine, or excess stomach acid (Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome).
H2 Blockers
H2 blockers, also called H2 receptor agonists, are medicines that reduce the amount of acid the stomach produces. They treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD.)
Antacids work by neutralizing acid in the stomach. Antacids neutralize acid on contact to provide heartburn relief.

Top Heartburn / Acid Reflux Prevention Tips
Top Heartburn / Acid Reflux Prevention Tips
There are simple lifestyle changes you can make and tips you can follow that will help you prevent heartburn.
1. Eat smaller, more frequent meals.
A full stomach can put extra pressure on the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), which will increase the chance that some of this food will reflux into the esophagus.
2. Avoid foods and beverages that can trigger reflux of stomach contents.
Some foods and beverages increase the risk of reflux by relaxing the LES. These include alcohol; beverages containing caffeine, such as coffee, tea and cola drinks; carbonated beverages; citrus fruits and juices; tomatoes and tomato sauces; chocolate; spicy and fatty foods.
3. Don't eat within two to three hours before bedtime.
Lying down with a full stomach can cause stomach contents to press harder against the LES, increasing the chances of refluxed food.
4. If you're overweight, lose the extra pounds.
Obesity increases abdominal pressure, which can then push stomach contents up into the esophagus.
5. Elevate your head a few inches while you sleep.
Lying down flat presses the stomach's contents against the LES. With the head higher than the stomach, gravity helps reduce this pressure. You can elevate your head in a couple of ways. You can place bricks, blocks or anything that's sturdy securely under the legs at the head of your bed. You can also use an extra pillow, or a wedge-shaped pillow, to elevate your head.
6. Don't wear belts or clothes that are tight fitting around the waist.
Clothing that fits tightly around the abdomen will squeeze the stomach, forcing food up against the LES, and cause food to reflux into the exophagus. Clothing that can cause problems include tight-fitting belts and slenderizing undergarments.
7. Stop smoking.
The chemicals in cigarette smoke weaken the LES as they pass from the lungs into the blood.
8. Avoid alcohol.
Alcohol relaxes the lower esophageal sphincter, allowing the reflux of stomach contents into the esophagus. It also increases the production of stomach acid. If you want to consume alcohol, follow these tips: Dilute alcoholic beverages with water or club soda, drink moderate amounts of alcoholic beverages -- the suggested amounts are 1-2 mixed drinks, 12-16 ounces of wine, or 2-3 beers, drink white wine instead of red, choose non-alcoholic beer or wine whenever you can.
9. Keep a heartburn record.
Record what triggerd your acid reflux episodes, the severity of each episode, how your body reacts, and what gives you relief. The next step is to take this information to your doctor so the both of you can determine what lifestyle changes you will need to make and what treatments will give you maximum relief.
10. Take your medication at the same time every day.
It is very important to take your medication every day. If you are prone to forgetting, leave yourself a note to remind you or take your medication when you do another daily activity that you don't forget doing, such as brushing your teeth or washing your face.

Acid Reflux Food To Avoid
Just as at home, eating certain foods in restaurants can trigger heartburn.
There are methods you can use to limit heartburn. These methods include food choices, knowing how the food is prepared, beverage selection, and portion sizes.

What Can Cause Heartburn / Acid Reflux?
What Can Cause Heartburn / Acid Reflux?
Acid Reflux Food To Avoid
* Heartburn Triggers
Heartburn can be caused by a number of factors. These include certain foods, and others are factors such as being overweight or lifestyle habits, such as smoking.
* Mechanisms of Acid Reflux
There are three disturbances in the normal gastrointestinal (GI) function that can lead to Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD).
When It's More Than Just Heartburn - Acid Reflux Disease
* Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease - What is it?
Gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD, occurs when the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) does not close properly and stomach contents leak back, or reflux, into the esophagus.
* Gastroesophageal Reflux in Infants
Gastroesophageal Reflux (GER) occurs often in normal infants. One of the most common symptoms is spitting up. More than half of all babies experience reflux in the first 3 months of life. Only a small number of infants have severe symptoms due to GER. Learn the sypmtoms and how is it diagnosed.
* Gastroesophageal Reflux in Children and Adolescents
Almost all children have a little bit of reflux, without being aware of it. For some children and adolescents, however, this reflux may be chronic. Gastroesophageal Reflux (GER) often begins in infancy and then subsides, but for a small number of infants, GER continue as they grow older. Learn the symptoms and how it's diagnosed.
Other Conditions Cause Heartburn
* Peptic Ulcers
A peptic ulcer is a sore or lesion that forms in the lining of the stomach or duodenum. Ulcers in the stomach are called gastric or stomach ulcers, and those in the duodenum are called duodenal ulcers, and both are usually referred to as peptic ulcers. Understanding the causes and symptoms of peptic ulcers, and then getting a diagnosis and proper treatment, most people can find relief.
* Hiatal Hernia
Some people suffer from Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) because they have a hiatal hernia. What is a hiatal hernia?
* Gastritis
Gastritis is an inflammation of the stomach lining. Several things can cause gastritis, one of which is chronic bile reflux. Although it doesn't cause heartburn, some of the symptoms are similar to those produced by heartburn, and it's treated in a similar way to GERD, by taking medication to reduce stomach acid.
* Gastroparesis
Gastroparesis, also called delayed gastric emptying, is a disorder in which the stomach takes too long to empty its contents. It often occurs in people with type 1 diabetes or type 2 diabetes. This can lead to more pressure against the lower esophageal sphincter, forcing it to relax prematurely, which can then lead to more reflux.

Acid Reflux Recovery - Simple and Easy!
Acid Reflux Recovery - Simple and Easy!
Acid reflux is a condition that plagues millions of people worldwide. It is caused by stomach acid splashing up into the esophagus. The lower esophageal sphincter (LES) is a ring-like valve at the bottom of the esophagus. It opens to allow food to enter the stomach and then closes to keep it there. When the LES becomes damaged and, or relaxed, stomach fluids are refluxed up into the esophagus and throat. The hydrochloric acid in this fluid has been compared to the corrosive acid in a common car battery.
It is important to remember why this condition usually exists in the first place. In most cases it is due to a damaged esophagus and LES. These can easily be scratched by eating foods with jagged edges like corn chips or crackers. Even crusty bread which has not been chewed properly can cause this type of damage. These little lacerations can then be irritated by acidic foods which are spicy or fried. Before you know it, you have a full fledged case of acid reflux. Once this cycle begins, it is not that easy to get rid of.
Let the esophagus heal by not eating the same foods in the same manner that caused the damage in the first place. Loosing weight, exercising, chewing properly, drinking sufficient amounts of water and eating in a pleasant atmosphere are all simple things that anyone can do to improve this condition.
There are also many natural ingredients found in any grocery market or health food store, which can help during the acid reflux recovery period. Herbs, like slippery elm and marshmallow have wonderful healing properties. Aloe vera juice, licorice and natural honey can sooth the esophagus and assist in the healing process.
By eating dinner at least three hours before retiring, one can drastically reduce the chances of acid reflux. Chewing gum between meals actually reduces stomach acid. Saliva is extremely alkaline in nature and chewing stimulates its production causing the system to be more alkaline.
Eat smaller, more frequent meals. Forget the "Three Big Meals" we have been taught to indulge in. Try eating four or five little meals each day. Start the day with Kukicha Twig tea instead of acidic coffee. This tea has been used for hundreds of years to make the body more alkaline. For breakfast, banish that cereal and instead eat fruit, like bananas and melons. Have several snacks of walnuts, almonds and more fruit during the day. For lunch have a salad, made with grilled chicken breasts, or tofu, mixed with hearts of romaine tossed with a little lemon juice and olive oil. Lemon juice is preferable to vinegar, as it is more alkaline in nature.
During this acid reflux recovery period, eating anything which could irritate or damage the esophagus must be avoided. Until the lacerations have had a chance to heal, spicy foods, such as acidic tomato products, hot peppers, raw garlic and raw onions should be eliminated from the diet. They just further irritate the condition. Eating chocolate, smoking and drinking alcohol relax the LES, allowing stomach acid to splash up into the esophagus, thus impeding the healing process.
The key to acid reflux recovery is to eat only mild, easy to digest food until the esophagus has healed. Eat early and slowly, chewing your food completely. Last, but not least, try to eat in a relaxed, pleasant and stress free environment.
There are many things one can do to improve the chances for success in defeating acid reflux. The choices in behavior that we make like exercising, loosing weight, wearing loose clothing, eating and chewing properly and avoiding carbonated drinks are all very important. There is another very potent technique for managing this condition. It is called meditation.
Meditation has the power to eliminate any unpleasant side affect of our stressful lives, including acid reflux. Try this out; in a quiet place, sit erect with your hands at your side and take a long deep breath. Close your eyes and look up toward the space between the eyebrows, without straining. Continue to breathe deeply. You will soon find yourself in a very relaxed state with no particular thoughts in mind. Now visualize yourself eating beautiful food slowly and carefully. See your mouth, throat, esophagus, LES and stomach all pink, young and perfect. Feel all the parts of your body working in complete harmony. Look at yourself. You are smiling. You are enjoying perfect health.

Herbal Remedies For Acid Reflux
Herbal Remedies For Acid Reflux
There are many different kinds of herbal remedies for acid reflux that you can try in order to help treat the problem and which you can purchase either from a health food store or online.
Generally acid reflux remedies come in the form or either capsules, pills or solutions. But what is important is that if you are someone who is already suffering from acid reflux and is being treated by their doctor, then you should discuss the issues with your doctor as to whether you can consume the herbal remedies together with what your doctor has prescribed.
In most cases people who suffer from acid reflux find that they suffer with a burning sensation in both the chest and stomach area. Generally people who are found to be overweight, who smoke or who drink too much alcohol (are alcoholics) will suffer more from this particular problem.
Acid reflux is caused when acids found in the stomach are able to gain entry into the esophagus and is often a sign that most people commonly associate by
stomach indigestion.
A lot of the herbal remedies for acid reflux will often contain such natural herbs such as :
- chamomile,
- slippery elm,
- chicory root,
- peppermint,
- lavender and
- ginger.
The main reason why these remedies have become so popular today is that they contain only natural ingredients and the chances of them causing any kind of side effects (compared to prescribed medications) are very few if any at all. They are especially effective for treating infants and young children when it is sometimes very difficult to actually provide a diagnosis that they are suffering from acid reflux.
However for adults the best way to treat acid reflux naturally is by making changes to your lifestyle and the kinds of foods that you consume. So you should start to decrease or eliminate the amount of alcohol you drink and if you smoke you should try to quit.
Plus you need to reduce the amount of acidic and a fatty food that you consume includes chocolates, tomatoes and coffee all of which can cause acid reflux.
But as well as making changes to their diet and lifestyle, if you also use herbal remedies for acid reflux, you will soon find that you are able to treat the problem much more easily and will suffer less from the symptoms caused by acid reflux.

List of Foods to Avoid With Acid Reflux
List of Foods to Avoid With Acid Reflux
There are some foods which can trigger or can contribute to acid reflux condition. So, following are some of the foods to avoid with acid reflux disease.
Fatty and Fried Food
When we eat fatty food the digestion becomes very slow and the food remains inside our stomach for a prolonged period of time. This increases the pressure inside the stomach which forces the food to enter the food pipe and hence result in acid reflux.
Spicy Food
Pepper, chili and other spices can contribute to the heartburn causes. Some people may have problem with ginger, garlic and onion also. So, better to avoid such food or minimizes its intake.
Citrus Fruits
The fruits containing citrus acid adds to the problem of acid reflux. Orange, tomato, grapes and cranberry are some of the fruits which have high citrus content. Some fruits make the lower esophageal opening over relaxed and this results in the back flow of acid to the food pipe.
Some people are crazy about chocolates, so let me tell you one thing, this can also add to your acid reflux problems. Chocolates have theobromine content which occurs naturally in the coffee, tea plant and cocoa. This content relaxes the lower part of the esophagus known as sphincter muscle which further allows the acid to flow back to the food pipe. So, better add this to the list of foods to avoid with acid reflux in children. If they are really crazy about chocolates then go for a dark or organic chocolate but limit the consumption.
Alcohol Consumption
Any type of alcohol consumption can lead to acid reflux. These slow down the digestion process and relax the esophageal opening and hence result in the acid reflux. Smoking can also be one of the factor responsible for acid reflux.
In hotels and even at home, many people have the habit of eating peppermint after the food. It can be good as a mouth freshener but is harmful if you are prone to acid reflux. So avoid spearmint and peppermints as it triggers acid reflux conditions.
Avoid the intake of meat such as ground beef, chicken nuggets, buffalo wings, etc. as they can be a cause of acid reflux conditions which can further result in heartburn and other indigestion causes.
Dairy Products
It is advisable to avoid some of the dairy products such as sour cream, cheese, ice creams, yogurt, etc. Many people have the habit to drink milk in the night before going to sleep but drinking milk after a heavy or rich meal can add to your acid reflux problems. So drinking milk in the night should be avoided.
Some deserts like brownie, butter cookie, doughnut etc can add to your acid reflux problems.
Other Foods
Other foods that can cause acid reflux are high-carbohydrate foods like bread, macaroni and spaghetti, potato and corn chips and fast foods items like burgers, etc. You should also avoid red sauces to get rid of acid reflux.

Some other affordable housing locations
I congratulate city council on their decision regarding the sale of the former police station property. As a Brandon resident maybe the mayor should look at some of the other locations for affordable housing such as the 2100-block of Brandon Avenue; the corner of 15th Street and Louise Avenue; 700-block of Frederick Street, the north end or the 600-block on Princess Avenue, with a value of $1. Also the president of the local NDP constituency association should be approaching the provincial government if the housing allowance for social assistance individuals is not sufficient. The city should not be responsible for providing this sort of allowance for affordable housing.

This view shows enzymes only for those organisms listed below, in the list of taxa known to possess the pathway. If an enzyme name is shown in bold, there is experimental evidence for this enzymatic activity.
|Degradation/Utilization/Assimilation → Aromatic Compounds Degradation → Gallate Degradation
Some taxa known to possess this pathway include : Pseudomonas putida, Pseudomonas putida PDC
Expected Taxonomic Range:
General Background
Gallate and structurally related compounds are widely distributed in nature. Plant lignin and tannins are major sources of these compounds, which are degraded by soil microorganisms as part of the terrestrial carbon cycle. Gallate is also used industrially in inks and paints, and gallate esters are used as food, cosmetics and pharmaceutical antioxidants. Gallate and its derivatives are also of interest in drug development (reviewed in [Ow03].
Gallate and related compounds contain a benzene nucleus and at least 2 phenolic hydroxyl groups. Under aerobic conditions the benzene ring is cleaved by varioius dioxygenases. The benzene nucleus can be cleaved by ortho or meta fission enzymes, leading to different degradation pathways. Several distinct pathways of aerobic aromatic catabolism can be initiated by these dioxygenases, and their distribution among bacteria is complex [Gottschalk86]. Examples of these oxidative pathways are shown in MetaCyc pathways gallate degradation II, methylgallate degradation, protocatechuate degradation I (meta-cleavage pathway), protocatechuate degradation II (ortho-cleavage pathway), and superpathway of aromatic compound degradation via 3-oxoadipate. An anaerobic pathway for gallate degradation is shown in MetaCyc pathway gallate degradation III (anaerobic).
About This Pathway
Fluorescent pseudomonads such as Pseudomonas putida can cleave gallate using the inducible ortho fission enzyme, protocatechuate 3,4-dioxygenase. However, the product 2-pyrone-4,6-dicarboxylate (PDC) is usually not degraded further due to the lack of an enzyme that can process PDC. A strain that contains a 2-pyrone-4,6-dicarboxylate hydrolase enzyme was isolated from soil by selection for growth on PDC as the sole carbon source, and named Pseudomonas putida PDC. Extracts of cells grown with PDC contained the hydrolase and high levels of gallate dioxygenase, but demonstrated only low activity against protocatechuate. Cells adapted to gallate expressed the hydrolase while cells adapted to protocatechuate did not. Thin layer chromatography of derivatized catabolites produced by cells grown with PDC revealed 4-carboxy-2-oxo-3-hexenedioate, pyruvate, and oxaloacetate. The time of the appearance of these compounds was used to propose the catabolic pathway [Kersten82].
In this pathway, the lactone, 2-pyrone-4,6-dicarboxylate, is hydrolyzed to the open chain keto form of the ring fission product. The enol tautomer, (1Z,3Z)-4-hydroxybuta-1,3-diene-1,2,4-tricarboxylate, can form spontaneously or enzymatically [Nogales10]. Hydration by a hydratase forms 4-carboxy-4-hydroxy-2-oxoadipate. This is cleaved to pyruvate and oxaloacetate by the aldolase. These 2 metabolites enter central metabolism, as indicated by the pathway link. These results demonstrated that Pseudomonas putida PDC can use enzymes of the meta fission pathway to degrade gallate [Kersten82, Tack72a].
It should be noted that a second route of gallate degradation exists in Pseudomonas putida, which involves a highly specific gallate dioxygenases (see gallate degradation I).
Variants: gallate degradation I, gallate degradation III (anaerobic)

Most of the ones I've been coming across are more about getting rid of nitrates... and I'd like to read more about.. the opposite of getting rid of them xD Or more how nitrates develop with plants, or getting a good balance of nitrates with plants, or anything else involving them together.. Thanks ^.^;

- Is that slate rock all you have? If you can find some lace rock i would get it. An use your slate rock as the base rock and stak the lace rock up. Or some do the silicon the rocks together. But im not a fan of that. lol

Sometimes, when one projects current trends into the future, very scary scenarios emerge. A study that was reported last Thursday would make all of the tornadoes, tsunamis, and earthquakes that have been experienced in recent years pale by comparison. The prognostication, made by respectable medical doctors, would mean the end of our society.
The cost of health care in the United States has long been of interest to me, but during the past week the topic has taken on new dimensions for a couple of reasons. First, on Monday, I underwent surgery for a complete replacement of my right shoulder. I'm not sure if the procedure could be called "elective" because I've been in some degree of pain for the past three years, but I was not in imminent danger of losing my arm or my life.
Sometimes the pain has been dull and quite bearable; occasionally it could become severe, requiring me to take a "pain pill," a ritual which I try to avoid. However, X-rays, CT scans, and an MRI (magnetic resonance image) clearly showed that the head (top) of the humerus (upper-arm bone) had become deformed and arthritic. At this point, I don't know how much the pre-op visitations, hospitalization, surgery, anesthesia, post-op examinations, and rehabilitation will cost. And, that brings me to the second point.
Last week, Business Insider reported a study by Richard A. Young and Jennifer E. DeVoe, published in the Annals of Family Medicine, that purports that health care costs will exceed average household income by 2030. If this projection is correct, the average American will have to make choices between health care and housing, health care and clothing, health care and food. As a practical matter, the typical person's relationship to the healthcare institutions of our society will simply dissolve...

Once nearly extinct, streetcar gets new life in U.S.
KENOSHA, Wis. (AP) — When the auto plant here closed, this prosperous Wisconsin port city on Lake Michigan lost more than just its largest employer. Its sense of vitality seemed to drain away, and city leaders set out to find something that would inject life into the brick-storefront downtown while the economy went through a transition.

I don't like this match-up because too early match-up to me.
Trabzonspor come up against Liverpool FC in the UEFA Europa League play-offs.
Trabzonspor is the apple of my eye, on the other hand, Liverpool is my favourite in the world and i'm proud of with the Reds but on this time my heart is totally with my dear Trabzonspor, may be we lost but Trabzonspor FOREVER.
Good luck both of you.
