Date of Stay: October, 2015
Very unlevel sites. Concrete slabs broken everywhere. Weeds the same. No WiFi. In this day of RVing, WiFi is the norm. On the positive side the staff was very nice and helpful. Good for an overnight stay. One block off of I-40.
Date of Stay: October, 2012
What an exceptionally nice campground. Extremely clean and nicely setup. Great rooftop satellite sites, good free Wi-Fi and good AT&T cell coverage. Very close to I-40 and lots of gas stations and restaurants close by. Owners are super nice!!! We were in a large pull through site with plenty of room without having to unhook.
Date of Stay: October, 2012
Nice park with a great owner and very friendly staff. Concrete pads with grass. All back ins but plenty of room for our 34 ft RV. Nice small park with a small dog run. Wi-Fi didn't work very well and neither did our AT&T hotspot but our Verizon Mi-Fi worked OK. We used this park to visit Boston, Rockport, and Salem. Worked very nicely.
Date of Stay: October, 2012
Very tight spots. Barely room to open slides. Tight turns due to trees. Some spots might be rooftop satellite friendly. Poor Wi-Fi. Verizon MiFi slow. AT&T hotspot OK. Site not level. First time in a long time I had to use my leveling blocks. Only good thing is fairly close to Philadelphia.
Date of Stay: May, 2011
This KOA Park is surrounded by a mobile home park. Very junky looking. Asked for a roof top satellite friendly site and they put us in a site with a very large tree that covered our roof area completely. They then moved us to a site that worked. Gravel sites with grass. Fairly tight to maneuver with a 34' 5th wheel. Overall one of the least favorite KOA's I have stayed at.. Would not stay here again
Date of Stay: April, 2011
Nice park, nice managers. Very quaint. Located in the community of Bothell but as soon as you enter the park which surrounds a small lake, you are surrounded by trees and peace and quiet greets you.Close to Seattle (about 16 miles to downtown). Only complaints are too expensive, feels more like $30-35 would be about right, and no free Wi-Fi. Our general experience anymore in our travels is free Wi-Fi. Also nice that they had propane available.
Date of Stay: April, 2011
Nice small park located 5 miles north of Tillamook. Very nice manager greeted us. Good free Wi-Fi. Good Verizon and AT&T cell coverage. Roof top satellite friendly. Our site only had 30 amp power but that was fine. Our daytime temps were in the 50s. Sewer connection is at the rear. I had to use an extension and just made it. Be sure to tour the Tillamook Cheese factory. Lot of fun!
Date of Stay: April, 2011
Very nice park with very friendly staff. Good free Wi-Fi. AT&T and Verizon had good cell coverage. All concrete with good sized pull through sites. Nice overnight park. Located about 5 miles south of Gilroy.
Date of Stay: April, 2011
Stayed here 2 nights on our way to Seattle. Extremely clean park. Our rate included a Bay View which was very nice. They are very pet friendly which includes a nice fenced dog run. Included free Wi-Fi was good as well as both AT&T and Verizon good cell coverage. Verizon data was also good. Our pull thru was very large and and wide.
Date of Stay: April, 2011
Very neat park. The managers were always out and about working. The park is located about 5 miles north of Eureka on the 101. We had a grass pull through surrounded by grass. Free Wi-Fi was very good. Both AT&T and Verizon had good cell coverage. Verizon data was also good.
Date of Stay: December, 2010
Stayed here exactly 2 years prior to this stay. Still the nicest park in Del Rio. Super clean with large pull thrus. AT&T and Sprint worked good. Free Tengonet Wi-Fi. Sprint Hot Spot worked good. Note: GPS slightly off. Leaving Del Rio on WB 90 the park is on the right approx 1 mile past the 90/377 split.
Date of Stay: December, 2010
A nice cute park located approx 12 miles north of Waco. AT&T and Sprint worked fine. Our Sprint Hot Spot worked good. It has paved roads and dirt pads with grass. Friendly staff. Cash or check only. We stayed here 3 days. It is a very relaxing park with small ponds and friendly ducks.
Date of Stay: December, 2010
This is a super nice park. It is very close to Sea World. It features large pull through sites. We would have given it a 10 accept the wifi was pay for use. Lately we have found many parks are now offering free wifi. AT&T and Sprint worked fine. My Sprint Hot Spot (wifi) worked very good.
Date of Stay: November, 2010
This is a nice dirt park. A very nice husband and wife checked us in. The park is right on the river. The Wifi worked fine. AT&T and Sprint cells worked fine. Our Sprint Hot Spot worked good. We had outstanding BBQ (Brisket) at Lum's BBQ just south of the park.
Date of Stay: November, 2010
I'm not sure the previous ratings were a good reflection of this park. The spaces are very wide and we were in a 34' 5th wheel and it fit fine length wise. I will say the roads are a little narrow for backing in your unit. We were lucky that the space directly across from us was empty. The park is exceptionally clean and the staff was very friendly. WiFi was excellent. Sprint and AT&T cell phones worked great. Sprint Aircard was also very good as well. Would stay here again.

My goal is to be able to track the number of times our form is submitted via Google Analytics. I have the onClick Event Tracking code from Google. We are already calling the Analytics code in our header, so the function knows what to reference.

I am going to be in Plantation for several days as part of a long business trip. Waay too long off the bike, and am looking for a ride on Sunday, the 22nd. Planning to rent a bike, bringing my shoes, pedals, and kit. Not a hammerhead, but I can plug along pretty well at 20 in the flats, but on most days my averages are killed by hills around these parts.
Anybody know of a club or shop ride happening in the area? I am good for just about any distance, but certainly want a good bit of time on the road if I am going to spend $50 or more to rent a bike.
And, rain or shine - dunno if rides get rained out down there or not.
I appreciate your suggestions!

I recently got DTH services from Reliance, the problem is i am not getting proper signal, there is a big fluctuation in signal due this i am unable to view correct picture. Can nay one tell me the Dish Antenna Alignment procedure ?
I recently got DTH services from Reliance, the problem is i am not getting proper signal, there is a big fluctuation in signal due this i am unable to view correct picture. Can nay one tell me the Dish Antenna Alignment procedure ?
The first thing that you have to remember before setting Dish Antenna Alignment is that its working is totally dependent on its alignment. To set the dish to point up to the satellites, you'll first need to set the elevation. If you are not able to adjust it at proper angles, then the entire system will falter. The location of antenna requires good view of satellites.
Once the dish antenna is installed it should be adjust in a way to catch the signal transmitted from the satellite. Set the dish to point in the angle of elevation for the satellite, as you have already set it in the required azimuth angle for your location. In addition to receiving the signal, alignment of the dish needs to be tweaked for better quality reception. Check your antenna installation guide or consult your dealer for the data or information. Similarly, the receiver needs to be tuned so that it works in tandem with the dish.
The "Satellite Antenna Alignment" software is used to measure angles for installing satellite dishes, it will allow us to calculate doable modifications considering the antenna diameter and possible obstacles. There are quite a few different programs out there that do the same exact thing as this one. The calculation can be saved to a text file, copied to the Windows clipboard or printed out at once. It is possible to save the list of locations for which the calculation is done. The main difference from similar software is the possibility to calculate the position for all satellites at once.
The satellites are "parked" approximately 22,300 miles above the equator. When aligning an antenna to a satellite, there are three (3) very important variables (Elevation, Azimuth, Polarization)that need to be adjusted in order to properly receive the signal.
Dish TV signal quality depends on the appropriate direction. The user should make sure that the equipments have an uninterrupted path. Check to make sure that the mount is 100% level. The portion that the dish mounts on must be straight up to the sky level. Otherwise you will not be able to find the signal, Any obstruction on the signal path can bring inferior quality picture.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Calvin Thompson scored 15 points and Tre Lee added 12, including a free throw with 6 seconds left to seal Howard's 71-69 win over Florida A&M on Saturday.
Thompson and Lee each went 2 of 2 at the charity stripe on back-to-back Bison (7-18, 4-8 Mid-eastern Athletic Conference) possessions to put them ahead 70-65 with 23 seconds left. But Amin Stevens got a layup and Reggie Lewis hit two foul shots of his own to bring the Rattlers back within one point with 9 seconds remaining.
Lee was then fouled with 6 seconds on the clock and missed the first free throw, but he sank the second for the game's final margin.
Prince Okoroh also chipped in 10 points for Howard.
Stevens was the only player in double figures for the Rattlers (7-18, 5-6), scoring a game-high 24 points.

text: I started playing The Secret World yesterday and I played for some hours. After playing the regular missions for some time, I thought of trying out the PvP fights available in this game. I being a beginner in this game jumped into a PvP fight where there were other people with high level of gears and powers. In my first fight itself, before even I could make any move, I was killed. This happened numerous times and left me frustrated. I wanted to know that is PvP fights gear based or level based. If it is gear based, then it might happen that I will never get to win any fight till I get myself some big guns. What do other people think about it?

Umpqua Colorado Green Drake - 2-PackView Larger Image

What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
Great Fly...
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Even if the drake hatch this year left something to be desired. I bought 2 packs of these flys for this year's hatch. I only got one day that the hatch was really on and was able to use them. They performed much better than I did. Held up after every snag, couldn't care less about my cursing, and overall were very pleasant to fish with. Ohh yeah, the fish like 'em too.
They're coming.....
It is mid May and just lurking around the corner is the hatch of the Drakes!! I got these the other day and love the look of them! Nice color on the body, looks like they will work for both your green and tan/brown hatches. Good bushy wings to keep it riding high with nice tapered body to tail. Can't wait for June lunch breaks on the river.

Kadeem Hardison guest-stars as a minister who is first attracted to Lynn's music, and then to the …fullness… of Lynn. Eldon Parks (the minister) and Lynn express instant chemistry, and as a result, instant sex – which surprises them both. For Lynn, this is all good, as her reservations about having a relationship with the minister seem to stem from more than the prospect of him trying to 'save her': Lynn is and always has been an extremely physical person, and physical expression is now a deal-breaker for her. If this relationship had been played out over a longer stretch of time, it would have worked better for me. It seemed very rushed. I thought the writers were implying that Lynn's real attraction to Parks was evidenced by her willingness to overcome her own biases in order to work with the children in his church. But the vehemence with which she breaks off the relationship when she'd denied the prospect of more sex makes me think she's not grown as much as I thought over these 7 years. While I get that she's allowed her partner's beliefs/needs to overshadow hers in the past and feels wary of making the same mistake, she's making the mistake of throwing the baby out with the bath water. Maybe I'm simply reading too much into this, or my expectations are too high, but since they've bothered to introduce the character, play the story out! The potential for growth and balance for both characters exists here. I hope this is not a missed opportunity.
I was pleased to see the regret that Parks displayed regarding his impulsive sex with Lynn; that rang true. Some might have taken this slip as a sure sign of going straight to hell in a rowboat and lost themselves completely. The 'b' story about wedding prep wasn't all that engaging either.
Having missed almost the entirety of this season, I was hoping to see some real character development, but I was disappointed.
It was great to see Hardison onscreen, as I like his work most of the time.moreless

The stepfather of the University of Maryland student who was shot but survived Tuesday's murder-suicide in College Park says it's a miracle that his son is still alive.{}{}
Maryland junior Neal Oa, 22, is home and recovering well. His stepfather says he even plans to get back to college park as soon as possible.
"We're just thankful he's a alive," says Oa's stepfather Chris Merz. "We don't know how he survived it. It was just a miracle."
Oa was shot in the leg by his housemate Dayvon Green during a bizarre rampage early Tuesday morning. Oa and roommate Stephen Rane were awakened by several small fires Green set in the back yard of their College Park home. When they went out together to douse the flames, Green opened fire.
"He saw the gun coming out of the kids pocket and just had a sense that something wasn't right as he turned to run," Merz says. "That's when he got hit. He felt his leg and something was there and just decided, 'I gotta go I gotta run.'"
As he ran, he heard more gunfire. Oa didn't know until much later that Green killed Rane before turning the gun on himself.
"He feels really bad for his roommate and his roommates family," Merz says.
As for Green, police sources say he was a diagnosed schizophrenic who had gone off his medications. He had purchased two semiautomatic handguns including an Uzi like this and the 9mm he used against Rane and Oa. Merz says the housemates knew about one gun but not the mental illness.
"I know they were a little uncomfortable. There were things," Merz says. "He was a little different but then you're in a school of 38 thousand kids you're gonna meet kids are different than you."

More about Tajikistan and IMON International
Tajikistan is known for its rich history, which includes a key post along the Silk Road and the end of Alexander the Great's rule. It has also produced great thinkers, philosophers, scientists and poets, including Rudaki, Avicenna, Ferdowsi, Omar Khayyam, Jomi, and Rumi. The country is home to communities that still speak the ancient Sogdian language, epic mountain passes, and a civilization that dates back to the 4th millennium BC. And, even today, it is a complex mixture of the Islamic faith, Soviet culture, New West culture and Central Asian traditions.
But Tajikistan is also the poorest of the former Soviet republics. The civil war, which ignited soon after its independence from the U.S.S.R., further damaged the already weak economy. In addition, 93% of the country is mountainous and only 7% of the land is arable. These conditions have resulted in high levels of unemployment and have forced hundreds of thousands to seek work in other countries, mainly Russia. While the people of Tajikistan are working to improve its agricultural production and manufacturing sector, nearly two-thirds of the population still live in abject poverty.
IMON's History
Since December 2007, IMON International has worked closely with Kiva and Kiva lenders to ensure that poor and low income clients represent a viable business proposition. Funds raised through Kiva have already been distributed to thousands of IMON International's clients and will continue to provide thousands more with permanent access to the varied financial services they need. To learn more about IMON International's work, please visit: www.imon.tj
Additional Information
About IMON InternationalIMON International (IMON) is a micro-deposit organization in Tajikistan that provides entrepreneurs with access to high quality financial products and services, including business loans, agriculture loans, consumer loans and micro-leases. Aiming to alleviate poverty, the organization helps unbanked individuals establish businesses in different sectors, including manufacturing, agriculture and service. Kiva lenders' funds will help the organization to expand its outreach to even more entrepreneurs, farmers and traders in Tajikistan.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

EDMONTON -- Edmonton Eskimos fullback Mike Maurer drove back to Regina with wounded pride Sunday, less than 12 hours after crumpling to the canvas, unconscious, in a Maximum Fighting Championship bout at the Shaw Conference Centre.
The fallout from the knockout blows to the head is expected to reverberate across Canada and reignite the debate over the lack of control professional football teams have over the extra-curricular activities of their players.
"Some guys like to ski, and some guys ride motorcycles without helmets," says Eskimos head coach Danny Maciocia. "Some guys like to do things like Ultimate Fighting, but I don't see how we can stop them."
Maurer, 31, has a fuzzy recollection of taking a kick to the head, followed by a vicious punch from Roger Hollett of Halifax. The next thing Maurer remembers is standing up and wobbling to his corner, thinking it was the end of the first round.
In reality, the fight ended in just 36 seconds. A disturbed hush fell over the crowd of 2,500 as doctors swarmed around the fallen football player, who was out cold for at least five seconds.
Physically, Maurer said he felt fine on Sunday, and hadn't suffered a concussion. Mentally and emotionally? Well, that's another story.
"I'm a little heartbroken," he said via cellphone after filling up his car with gas in Battleford, Sask. "I feel human. I feel different today.
"I honest to God felt that I couldn't be knocked out. There's no way. Through all my years in football and training and fighting, I've never been knocked out and I've been hit with some crazy hits.
"I thought I was immune to that.
I thought I was invincible. And I'm not."
Maciocia already knew his players weren't invincible. The Eskimos head coach worried, quietly, for months that Maurer or defensive end Adam Braidwood might get hurt in the violent arena of professional mixed martial arts in a fight card entitled Maximum Fighting Championship II Gridiron.
But Maciocia was more concerned about Braidwood, who had never fought in the professional ranks. Maurer, on the other hand, had won his only sanctioned professional fight last year over Darren Appels.
The film from that fight helped Hollett concoct a winning strategy to defeat Maurer, the MVP in the 2005 Grey Cup.
"I knew I was going to knock him out," Hollett said. "I had seen his hands. His hands are really lazy, so I knew I was going to catch him one way or another."
Braidwood won his fight in just 1:54 with a barrage of unanswered punches to the head of his opponent, Ryan Jimmo of Halifax. But the lasting images of the latest mixed martial arts card in Edmonton are of Maurer lying unconscious on the canvas, which had just been wiped clean of blood from a previous fight.
Maurer's knockout will no doubt heat up the debate over the wisdom of professional football players risking their health and well-being in the ring.
CFL contracts aren't guaranteed, meaning the team can release any athlete, for any reason, and stop paying him on the spot. So Maciocia sees no way to control the off-field hobbies of his players.
"If someone chooses to do something like that, what are you going to do?" he said. "What are you doing? Are you going to null-and-void his contract? We can already do that now.
"It's just like a company having a drug policy. The company can prohibit drugs, but do they test? I mean, do you really know if your employee is taking any substances?
"How do you control it? I don't know how you control it."
The most pressing issue, Maciocia said, is Maurer's health. He wants to be sure his dependable fullback is truly concussion-free after taking two massive blows to the head.
"It's going to be something I address as soon as I get back," Maciocia said from the Super Bowl in Miami. "My first call is going to go out to Mike and see how he's doing.
"Maybe, at some point, we'll bring him back in and have some of our physicians take a look at him."
The fight definitely caused Maurer to look at himself differently in the mirror. Back in early January, he announced his pending retirement from professional fighting. The outcome against Hollett does nothing to change that decision.
But it does change his view of himself as a man and an athlete.
"I was a bit arrogant or naive in thinking I couldn't be knocked out," he said. "It's a sobering truth to wake up to. One day, you're walking around thinking you're invincible. And the next day, you realize that you're not.
"It's going to take some time to come to grips with that. I'm going to have to try and forgive myself."

Bode Miller Wins Gold in Super Combined
Bode Miller became the face of the U.S. Olympic Team in Vancouver Sunday with a comeback performance in the men's Super Combined that will be replayed in Olympic highlights for years to come.
Beginning the slalom portion of the competition, Mr. Miller was .76 seconds behind leader Aksel Svindal of Norway. A winner of two medals already, Mr. Miller needed to leapfrog some of the best slalom specialists in the world. During his run, he bobbed and weaved his way through the gates like a dancer before a final triumphant lunge through at the finish line that gave him a .33 second lead with just a handful of skiers left at the top of the hill.
As the crowd of more than 6,000 screamed for him, Mr. Miller waved his poles and basked in adoration that no one would have expected four years ago after the Turin Games. Then he was the angry, bad-boy of Team U.S.A., who criticized Olympic commercialism and boasted of his partying before races.
Minutes later, though, Norway's Mr. Svindal crashed in the final portion of his run, and Mr. Miller had his first Olympic gold medal, his third of the Games and his fifth overall, cementing his reputation as the greatest American skier ever.
"My legs were burning," Mr. Miller said after the race. "I was getting a little wobbly coming down toward the end. I couldn't even see the poles."
Stepping for the first time to the top of the podium during the flower ceremony, Mr. Miller raised his arms in triumph and kept them up there for a good long time as the screams of the crowd bounced off the snow-covered hillsides and American flags swayed in the wind.
"Bode has done everything you could possibly do in skiing," said Will Brandenburg, an up-and-coming skier on Team U.S.A., who finished 10th Sunday. "He's won World Cups, he's won the overall, he's won Olympic medals and now he's won a gold medal."
Ivica Kostelic of Croatia won the silver while Switzerland's Silvan Zurbriggen, a favorite heading into the final round because of his prowess as a slalom skier, took the bronze.
"We're witnessing a great moment," Mr. Kostelic said of Mr. Miller. "This is a skier at the end of his career. There's no pressure on him. He just recognizes what his goal is. I am really happy for him."
In retrospect, the set-up in Whistler appears tailor-made for Mr. Miller, who has three medals in three events here in the Vancouver Games – bronze in downhill, silver in Super-G and gold in Super Combined – and seems to be getting better with every race.
Mr. Miller, 32, stopped skiing after last season, took off the summer, and claims not to have owned a pair of racing skis in September when he first considered mounting a comeback. But after starting slowly, Mr. Miller has been getting better each week on the World Cup circuit and arrived at the Olympics feeling strong rather than worn out from over-training and too much racing.
Poor weather limited training runs for the downhill, leveling the playing field and giving a daring, reckless skier like Mr. Miller a chance at the podium if he attacked the mountain. On Sunday morning, skiers were confronted with a dark, shaded and icy downhill slope on the Dave Murray course for the Super Combined and few of the athletes were able to turn in error-free runs.
Mr. Miller was cruising through his run, slightly ahead of Mr. Svindal's pace halfway through, but he appeared to slip a ski as a he tried to turn right about three-quarters of the way down. The bobble set him back on his skis and his time of 1:53.91 placed him seventh heading into the slalom.
"It's a lot slicker and icier than it was," Andrew Weibrecht of the U.S. said of the course, which is the same run that was used for the downhill race Thursday.
But by the time the slalom began just after noon, the shorter course was sun-splashed and softer, allowing for skiers to take an aggressive line through the slalom poles. The slalom run was steep at the top but then flattened and rolled for much of the middle portion before a deep dive down to the finish line.
"It was a gunner's course," said Ted Ligety of the U.S. who finished fifth, .90 behind Mr. Miller, and skied the fast slalom run of the day. "The guys who were really going to push it on the slope are the ones who were going to do really well today."
Pushing it has never been a problem for Mr. Miller, who finished with a combined time of 2:44.92, including the third fastest slalom run. Mr. Ligety said that before the slalom run Mr. Miller was relaxed, joking around near the starter's house as if this was just another day on the mountain.
It was a good façade. "In between runs I was beat up and tired and exhausted and hot and hungry," Mr. Miller said.
Mr. Miller has said that the difference in this Olympics has been his ability to draw inspiration from the energy of the Games and the crowds. That has helped him ski the way he did when he first captivated fans by testing the limits of his body and his equipment. He has crashed hundreds of time in his 15-year career.
The Super Combined is an ideal event for Mr. Miller, a rare skier who is a go-for-broke downhiller who has the technical skills required for slalom. Mr. Miller attacked the slalom course, snapping his skis through the gates and pushing his weight onto his toes. Other skiers sat back on their skis and slid from side to side across the snow. With the exception of slight twist around a pole at the bottom where he appeared to lose his balance for a moment, the run was flawless.
Mr. Miller said he didn't even need to look at the scoreboard for satisfaction—he'd skied as hard as he could. The gold medal was gravy. "If anything it means even less to me now than it would have if I had won it earlier in my career," Mr. Miller said. "I used to ski like this every day. I loved being that close to the edge. I was doing it for the skiing itself instead of for the results."

Exploring Indonesia's Last of the Wild – the Forgotten Islands
By Stuart Campbell and Nils Krueck
The Forgotten Islands occupy a region in the southeastern Indonesian province of Maluku, a sparsely-populated area covering about 50,000 square kilometers that includes a vast expanse of coral reefs. As the region's name suggests, not much is known about these reefs and their associated fisheries. One important reason for this is that for much of the year the seas are wild and unable to be accessed. Another reason is that Maluku's Forgotten Islands support around 70,000 people who practice traditional customs that hark back to before the conversion of communities to Christianity. These customs include the guarding of marine resources against occasional visitors, such as nomadic fishers from central Indonesia

But this new declaration raises an obvious question – how will Indonesia make such a regulation effective? Text and photos by iLCP Fellow Shawn Heinrichs.
Healthy Seas and Healthy Communities: The People of Honduras' Mesoamerican Reef
International League of Conservation Photographers (iLCP) Fellow Karen Kasmauski travels to the Bay Islands off the coast of Honduras with partners from the Centro de Estudios Marinos Honduras (CEM). The region is part of the Mesoamerican Reef, a marine region extending along the Caribbean coast of Honduras, Guatemala, Belize and Mexico. Ecological pressures to the area, including population, overfishing, pollution and climate change have affected the reef. These pressures have stressed fishing communities all along the coast of these Central American countries. Fishermen have to stay out longer and travel farther to match the number of fish caught in previous years.

ATLANTA -- Results of a study presented April 3 at the American College of Cardiology's annual meeting show that women may benefit from increased intake of tomato products.
According to Vitamin Nutrition Information Service, the study suggests that lycopene, an antioxidant found in tomatoes, may reduce the risk of heart disease in middle-aged and older women by as much as 33 percent.
Heart disease is the leading cause of death among American women.
The study, conducted by Harvard Medical School researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, analyzed blood samples of nearly 1,000 women with and without cardiovascular disease. Women with the highest levels of plasma lycopene had a 33 percent lower risk of developing cardiovascular disease than those with the lowest levels.
Plasma lycopene refers to the level of lycopene found in the blood. Researchers believe the level of lycopene in the blood correlates with the amount of lycopene in the diet.
"There are no dietary recommendations for lycopene," said Michael Gaziano, M.D., director of cardiovascular epidemiology at Brigham and Women's Hospital and one of the study's authors. "Yet the research suggests that women should aim to consume more lycopene-rich foods as a prudent measure in the prevention of chronic diseases."
High-lycopene dietary sources include tomato-based products such as pizza and spaghetti sauces, as well as pink grapefruit.
