Ageing skin
What is ageing skin?
Ageing skin describes the changes in the appearance and characteristics of the skin that occur as people get older. Ageing changes are particularly pronounced on the face and hands.
Who gets prematurely aged skin?
Skin appears prematurely aged in people that are chronically exposed to sunlight, a process known as sun damage or photoageing. People with marked signs of photoageing:
- Often live in the tropics or subtropics
- May live at high altitude
- Usually work outdoors or spend long periods outdoors for recreation
- Have sometimes been exposed to artificial sources of ultraviolet radiation (UV), such as indoor tanning
- Often have fair skin (skin skin phototypes I and II), with blond hair and blue eyes
- Rarely have a genetic predisposition to premature ageing (most marked in progeria )
Premature ageing of the skin also affects tobacco smokers and those chronically exposed to other environmental pollutants.
What causes the skin to age?
Intrinsic ageing
Intrinsic ageing of the skin is inevitable, and is genetically predetermined. It occurs because of accumulation of reactive oxygen species, biological aging of cells, and reduced cellular supply of nutrients and oxygen.
- The rate of epidermal cell proliferation slows, affecting structure and function of the skin. The skin thins and flattens, with less resistance to shearing forces and injury.
- Water content in the stratum corneum reduces, with less transepidermal water loss.
- Hair thins and greys.
- The numbers of melanocytes reduce.
- Sebum production reduces.
- The dermis has reduced vascularity.
- There are fewer dermal mast cells and fibroblasts, and reduced glycosaminoglycans, hyaluronic acid and ground substance.
- There is reduced collagen and elastin turnover, and increased glycation.
- Volume of subcutaneous fat diminishes, especially on face hands and feet—whereas, it increases on thighs, waist and abdomen.
- Ageing is immune suppressing, leading to increased risk of skin cancer.
Menopause in females
In women, loss of oestrogen levels at menopause contribute to premature aging, as compared with similarly aged men.
Photoageing is due to damage caused by solar radiation. Cell damage occurs because of the formation of reactive oxygen species.
- High energy, short wavelength UVB damages DNA and other components of the epidermis.
- Longer-wavelength UVA is 100 times more prevalent than UVB at the earth's surface, but is of lower energy, so is less damaging to DNA. UVA penetrates more deeply into the dermis, damaging elastic tissue, collagen, blood vessels and immune cells.
- Infrared radiation penetrates to the deeper dermis and subcutaneous tissue, where it may also contribute to sun damage.
Smoking exposes the skin to several damaging factors.
- Nicotine narrows blood vessels, reducing blood flow, and thus impairs oxygen and important nutrients reaching the cells.
- Many other chemicals in tobacco smoke increase dermal matrix metalloproteinases, degrading collagen and elastin.
- The heat from burning cigarettes, and facial muscle movements associated with smoking, contribute to wrinkles.
- Nitrosamines and tar are carcinogens.
Immune dysfunction
Immune dysfunction also affects skin ageing. Examples include:
- Immune deficiency diseases
- Immunosuppressive agents
- Chronic psychological stress
What are the clinical features of ageing skin?
Intrinsic ageing
- Ageing skin is thin and inelastic, tearing easily.
- It recovers more slowly from mechanical depression than younger skin.
- Women have thinner skin then men.
- Skin is dry, especially after frequent washing with soap and water.
- Dry skin increases the risk of asteatotic eczema
- The barrier function of the skin is less effective than when younger
- Pigmentation is uneven due to melanocyte activation (melanosis) and inactivation (guttate hypomelanosis)
In those genetically predisposed, ageing skin develops:
Thin skin
Guttate hypomelanosis
Cherry angiomas
Photoageing results in:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Discolouration
- Textural changes
- Thin skin that easily blisters, tears and grazes
- Solar elastosis/heliosis
- Solar lentigos and freckles
- Solar comedones and colloid milia
- Senile/solar purpura
- Scarring, eg from sunburn
- Actinic keratoses (tender dry spots)
- Skin cancer (destructive growths)
Solar lentigo
Colloid milia
Senile purpura
Actinic keratoses
Compared to non-smokers of the same age, long-term smokers have:
- More facial lines
- Baggy eyelids and jawline
- Yellowish sallow complexion
- Open and closed comedones and cysts (Favre-Racouchot syndrome )
- Greater risk of skin cancer
Smoker's lines
Solar comedones
Complications of ageing skin
Ageing skin is prone to keratinocytic skin cancer and some types of melanoma. The most common form of skin cancer is basal cell carcinoma. However, excessively photoaged skin is at increased risk of intraepidermal carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, lentiginous forms of melanoma, and rare forms of skin cancer such as merkel cell carcinoma.
How are signs of ageing skin diagnosed?
The features of ageing skin are diagnosed clinically. Lesions suspicious of skin cancer may be growing lumps or sores that fail to heal. They often undergo diagnostic biopsy before or as part of treatment.
Classification of photoageing
Glogau classified the degree of sun damage by its clinical signs.
- Mild (age 28-35 years): few wrinkles, no keratoses
- Moderate (age 35-50 years): early wrinkling, sallow complexion with early actinic keratoses
- Advanced (age 50-60 years): persistent wrinkling, discolouration of the skin with telangiectases and actinic keratoses
- Severe (age 65-70 years): severe wrinkling, photoageing, gravitational and dynamic forces affecting skin, actinic keratosis, skin cancers
How are the signs of ageing treated?
Cancer and precancerous lesions
- Actinic keratoses and intraepidermal carcinomas are most often removed by cryotherapy or treated topically.
- Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is most often removed by minor surgery, but superficial BCC can be treated topically or by cryotherapy.
- Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and melanoma are nearly always surgically excised.
Dry and discoloured skin
Moisturisers will help dry and flaky skin.
Alpha-hydroxy acids, vitamin C, lipoic acid, soy isoflavones or retinoid creams applied regularly long term reduce dryness. They may also reduce the number of fine wrinkles and even out pigmentation. Many other products are under investigation but their benefits are unclear.
Facial rejuvenation
Procedures that aim to rejuvenate photoaged skin include:
- Fillers (hyaluronic acid, polytetrafluoroethylene, fat grafts) to disguise facial expression lines
- Botulinum toxin injections to reduce frowning and lessen deep furrows.
- Vascular laser treatment and sclerotherapy: to remove facial veins and angiomas
- Resurfacing procedures (dermabrasion, chemical peels, and laser resurfacing)
- Cosmetic surgery to remove redundant sagging skin (eg surgical or laser blepharoplasty for baggy eyelids, meloplasty (face lift) to tighten jowls)
How can the signs of ageing skin be prevented?
Intrinsic ageing is inevitable. In perimenopausal women, systemic hormone replacement may delay skin thinning; the skin is less dry, with fewer wrinkles, and wound healing is faster than prior to treatment. Replacement is less effective at improving skin ageing in the postmenopausal decades. The effects of topical oestrogens, phyto-oestrogens and progestins are under investigation.
Protection from solar UV is essential at all ages.
- Be aware of daily UV index levels, eg in New Zealand, adhere to Sun Protection Alert advice.
- Avoid outdoor activities during the middle of the day.
- Wear sun-protective clothing: broad-brimmed hat, long sleeves and trousers/skirts.
- Apply very high sun-protection factor, broad-spectrum sunscreens to exposed skin.
Do not smoke and where possible, avoid exposure to pollutants. Take plenty of exercise—active people appear younger than inactive people. Eat fruit and vegetables daily to provide natural antioxidants.
Many oral supplements with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties have been advocated to retard skin ageing and to improve skin health. They include carotenoids, polyphenols, chlorophyll, aloe vera, vitamins B, C and E, red ginseng, squalene, and omega-3 fatty acids. Their role is unclear.

Jean-Paul DuQuettecommented on a video on YouTube.
1) In Japan, "anime" officially does refer to all forms of animated cartoons, but in practice there is often no distinction between "anime" and "manga" (comics) outside of "otaku" (fanboy/girl) circles. 2) "Anime" as an English loan word contains the necessary characteristic of being animation from Japan. Sorry, you can try to redefine it as a style, but you have to admit this is a redefinition from its popular usage. Look at AKIRA, for example, which does not feature "anime style" characteristics, yet is - by Western definition - considered anime by most. We don't NEED to use it to mean what the Japanese use it for because we already have the words "animation", "cartoons" and "comics", which pretty much cover these things. Honestly, as the term "anime" outside Japan is becoming such a slippery concept (with most considering it related to Japan and some considering an animation/story style), I'd suggest tossing it altogether and sticking to less ambiguous descriptions based on studio and creator/designer characteristics. If you say a show is reminiscent of 80's Ghibli character design or Hideaki Anno's brooding nihilism, I can get an idea of where you going. Saying something is "like anime" might as well be saying nothing.

Greg Gilchrist had to work hard to get somewhere as a trainer, but his efforts and perseverance paid off. Once a relatively unknown trainer with nothing more than mediocre horses in the barn, he got a few breaks, developed stakes winners like Soviet Problem, Smokey Stover and Lost in The Fog and established himself as one of the top trainers on the Northern California circuit.
Then one day he quit.
The game just didn't work anymore for Gilchrist, which, sadly, says more about the game than it does the 62-year-old former trainer.
To carry on my career, I would have had to go somewhere else, maybe Southern California. I just couldn't do it.
"-- Retired trainer Greg Gilchrist
Getting good horses in his barn turned out to be a mixed blessing for Gilchrist. Every trainer aspires to have the type of horses that can take you to the Breeders' Cup, but once you have them they need to run in big races against the best horses. In Northern California, a racing region that has fallen on hard times, Gilchrist had no place to run a lot of his horses.
"You work all those years to get to a certain place, why would you leave when I did?" he said. "I don't want to come off as a sour grapes person and I want racing to be strong. But with where I was located and with the clients I had and the horses I was buying, we had no place to run. To carry on my career, I would have had to go somewhere else, maybe Southern California. I just couldn't do it. I had some commitments, including family commitments, and I just couldn't move. You have to make choices in life. My family means more in life to me than anything else."
He said the passing of longtime client Harry Aleo, who owned Lost in the Fog and died in 2008, also had a bearing on his decision.
"(Aleo's death) changed things for me a lot," Gilchrist said. "I used to joke around that if Harry died on a Thursday I was going to quit on a Friday. It certainly wasn't that quick, but his passing had something to do with what I've done. His passing hurt me a lot. He was a big part of my life both as a client and as a friend. You don't see that kind of loyalty very often. People like that are hard to find."
Gilchrist made the decision to leave racing at what was the height of his career. In 2008, he won 49 races with a winning rate of 30 percent and won 13 stakes races. A year later, he won 36 races for 25 percent and won a $500,000 and a $300,000 race.
But he didn't like what he was seeing, especially in Northern California, where the racing seems to get worse all the time and virtually every card is dominated by five-horse fields with odds-on favorites.
"If things were better in Northern California I would not have quit," he said. "I wasn't paying top, top dollar for horses, but we were buying some good horses and it became very difficult for me to keep those kinds of clients."
"Sometimes things have to get worse before they get better. I am very concerned about the state of racing, particularly on the west coast. We need some leadership and more cohesiveness. Somebody needs to make some really good and really tough decisions about our future. The numbers keep going down and the competition for the gambling dollar keeps going up. Sometimes just putting on a show for the sake of putting on a show hurts you more than if you have no show at all. We got to the point where we had nothing but five and six horse fields, I don't even want to watch that. Why would anyone want to watch that?"
Gilchrist, who took out his trainer's license in 1973, started his last horse on May 5, 2010 at Hollywood Park. Since then, he has adapted reasonably well to life outside the racetrack.
"My golf clubs were thrown in the lake a long time ago," he joked. "I don't play golf. I like to fish. I'll make trips to Reno and Vegas once in a while. I make the best use of my time. But, yes, sometimes I get bored. Right now, I have no regrets. I am very happy with my situation."
Gilchrist won't rule out making a comeback, but he's not in a hurry to do anything right now. He'll watch the sport from the sidelines and hope that things get better. If not, well, there's always fishing.
* * *
Through its subsidiary InCompass, the Jockey Club has unveiled a computer program that will help racetrack executives monitor post times around the country. The hope is that tracks will have a new tool available to them to make sure that their races aren't going off at the same time as races from other tracks. Let's hope that it helps. The sport needs to do a far, far better job of coordinating post times so races don't trip over one another nearly as often as they do.

We started our Tuscany trip with Sergio and Cecilia at Agriturismo Settesoldi and their generous and warm hospitality were sorely missed during the rest of our trip. We stayed 3 nights and enjoyed the company of our wonderful hosts. Dinners with Sergio and Cecilia are a must! Cecilia's cooking is simply a treat and she whips up a feast every night. You will be assured of going to bed every night completely stuffed and having been regaled with interesting stories by Sergio. The Agriturismo is sited over a valley with breathtaking views, and helms an olive orchard which Sergio lovingly tends to. We had the good fortune and privilege of accompanying Sergio for his first olive press of the season, and the taste of the freshly pressed olive oil is one that we won't forget. The Agriturismo also serves as the perfect base to explore the region. You can leave aside your guide books and trust instead in Sergio to tell you where you should be visiting - he is a wealth of local knowledge and his recommendations were spot on for us. If you want to go truffle hunting, that's something that Sergio can quite easily arrange as well. The rooms are nice and clean, and Sergio and Cecilia exceedingly accommodating. They lit their fire place for the first time this season for us who hail from the tropics. All in all, we cannot praise Sergio, Cecilia and Agriturismo Settesoldi enough. Great hosts, good and tranquil location, and hearty Italian fare. What more can one ask for for a perfect retreat?
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- This small agriturismo, which is an ancient farm-house on the hills of San Miniato al Tedesco, among woods, olive-trees and stars is the ideal place for a romantic holiday, very relaxing, with a particular attention to culture, tasteful for good and genuine things.3 Rooms only ... more less

I know you can reset an accounts password with WHM, but does any one know a way to retrieve an existing one?
Sadly without running a brute force which I can't advise on you can not since cPanel is normally setup to use ProFTPD and PureFTP both of these servers used hashed passwords and they are not viewable in any form - if it's your server just reset the password.
This should not be possible from a security point of view. The password should not be stored in a retrievable format. I have not heard of any issues with cPanels security in respect to passwords so I would assume this is impossible.

Breakouts stopped in their tracks!!
By Russian beauty

About Me Beauty Expert
Comments about Clear Extra Strength Acne Exfoliant - 4 oz:
I follow a strict Pauls's skincare routine and have seen a major decrease in blemishes on my combination skin. But I was still getting blemishes and it was frustrating! finally I realized that an exfoliant was the only missing step in the routine that Paula's Choice recommends so I decided to give it a try. All I can say is WOW!!!! I have completely stopped breaking out, its unbelievable! I will never be without this again. Now I truly have the best skin of my life, just like the company slogan haha. The one tiny drawback is that it feels greasy when you apply it but that's only temporary until it absorbs, it's so worth it though. And, it's strong so be careful with dryness as your skin acclimates to this. I recommend that you apply once a day and see how that goes before going up to twice a day. My skin looks amazing!! This is a holy grail product.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Keeps acne under control
By Meghan

About Me Beauty Conscious
After using this twice a day, this has kept my acne under control and I barely get breakouts anymore! It does leave a greasy film on my skin, but it's not that noticeable if you use moisturizer afterwards.
Good exfoliant.
By Ade
from Phoenix, Arizona
This toner definitely left my skin looking brighter. I do love it but took my skin about a week to get used to it. Did feel bit of tingling first week. Made a bit of difference evening tone and lighted up a sun spot on my cheek. I will purchase it again and would recommend it. I want to try the spot removersee if it works a little better on the sun spot. Keep in mind I've only used it for two weeks and already noticed results.
Great product, would highly recommend
By Sleepy Sunny

About Me Minimalist
I've been using this exfoliant for about 6 months now, and I'm fairly happy with the results. I have medium toned, combination, acne prone skin. The acne I've managed to get relatively under control over the years but its left quite a bit of hyperpigmentation in its wake as well as occasional flaky dry spots. The first thing I noticed within a few weeks of adding this product to my routine was reduced acne and smoother skin. It took a few months of regular usage to see a difference in terms of the hyperpigmentation, but I'm quite happy with my skins progress so far.

Too harsh!
By Mishy
from Winnipeg,Manitoba
I've purchased the extra strength exfoliant twice after the regular strength was not available. I thought the extra strength was better but after my last order I've noticed my skin is dry, greasy,rashes and I'm breaking out with more black heads. Maybe my skin is changing due to hormones. I'll have to return to the regular strength.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Great for sensitive, acne-prone skin
By Meg
from Fredericton, Canada
I've been using this for the last month or so after receiving it in the mail. I was hesitant, given that many products break me out. However, this has been great. It helped with my dehydration-prone skin and really helped moisturize it; plus, I've had less breakouts and no purging using it every other day, and it has not once seemed harsh for my sensitive, reactive skin. I'm kicking myself for not buying it sooner!

I use this product twice a day with the Paula's Choice 2.5% benzyl peroxide. I LOVE this combination. It's only been about 2 weeks and my face is almost 100% flawless!!! Nothing has worked as well or as quickly to reduce my breakouts. This combination is truly a miracle for my acne-plagued skin. It's even gotten rid of several hyper pigmentation spots I've had for years, and smoothed out some of the pitted scars I have. I will never be without my PC products! I do wish, however, that this came in a larger bottle. One bottle lasts about a month and a half. Although I find it pricey, I am more than willing to fork out the money for PC products because they have saved my skin and restored my self-esteem!!!! I love that there are always sales going on and coupon codes to use, makes purchasing from PC easier. Shipping is usually pretty fast, too! And I love the free samples!!!
My skin is FINALLY on it's way to being clear
By CruzALo
from Vancouver, BC
My skin has been all over the place. I have experienced mild to moderate acne of all proportions and types for about 8-9 years starting when I was 13. I have literally tried everything, and I never thought I would be the kind of person to write this review and can say that my skin is finally nearly perfect yet here I am - all thanks to Paula's Choice. I've heard great things of Paula's Choice from beauty gurus on YouTube so I thought it couldn't hurt to try. I have dry and sometimes combination skin that is hardly ever sensitive. I purchased the Clear Extra Strength Kit and am so glad I did. Yeah, for about 3 weeks I had horribly dry and flakey skin...but I remedied that with lots of oils and manually exfoliating my skin with coconut oil and a cotton pad twice per day. I have been using Paula's Choice for about 2 months now and my skin is nearly perfect. All my scars and unevenness is gone. I have just a few very superficial pimples...I used to get those horrible deep cystic pimples that would pop up around my chin and around my mouth and sometimes my cheeks and forehead. I haven't had a cystic pimple in two months. I don't even wear foundation now. A light BB cream and some concealer under my eyes and on a spot or two is now all I need to get through my day. I have been wearing heavy foundation for nearly 8 years and now I don't have to. The exfoliation is KEY. Stick with it, and all the dead broken out skin will be sloughed off and fresh new skin will be underneath. I used the products every day. The cleanser once or twice per day. The BHA exfoliant once per day at night, and the Benzoyl Peroxide treatment once or twice per day on certain spots. I have never been this happy with my skin. I will forever be a Paula's Choice customer. I am so relieved I can now feel comfortable being seen without makeup. It is so freeing. If you're thinking about whether or not to try it....DO IT! Yes, your skin will get irritated at first and super dry and flakey but it's worth it, trust me. Plus the products last super long so the price is worth it as well.

Really great product!
By KitKat
from Arkansas
I really like this stuff quite a bit. I've only been using it for a week and I hate when people say "I used this once and it complete transformed my skin!" But I genuinely feel like this product has made a difference in a short time and I'm so impressed by that. I was using the regular strength prior to this and even though I don't have "bad skin" I am very oily and acne prone, especially to hormonal acne, and I will definitely keep using this. It is greasy feeling, but it doesn't bother me. I only use it at night and I wait at least five minutes before continuing by regimen after using this.

Cleared my stubborn Cystic acne
By KrisT
from Kennesaw, GA
I have terrible Cystic acne on my checks, chin and neck. I have used several Paula's Choice exfoliates that made my skin feel fabulous but did not completely remove my Cystic acne. Finally I found something that works. I have been using this product for 6 days. My face is nearly cleared up. My only complaint is that I can feel the product on my face for about an hour after it is applied. The results are worth the annoyance. I am so excited about this product.

Is it possible to tweak settings so that the battery will only charge up to 90% -95% and then use power adapter to run ?
A friend told me he was able to set such limits on his non-mac PC so I was hoping there would be a way to do it. From reading I have done online it appears this is better than having a 100% battery most of the time.
I have an MBP 13" 2012 running latest version of OSX ML(10.8.2).

You'd have to predict that, after beating the Friends varsity by 20 in a scrimmage last week, the Pratt Community College men's basketball team wouldn't have much trouble in a game against the Friends JV. You would have been right, as the Beavers pasted the overmatched Falcons 92-51 on Friday night at the Dennis Lesh Sports Arena.
The game's first five minutes were relatively evenly played, as it was just 9-7 PCC at the 15:23 mark of the first half. But then, 3-balls from Javis Flynn and Taylor Schieber and a slam-dunk in transition by Thomas Tshikaya jump-started the Beavers, and it was katy-bar-the-door from there.
After the media time-out, Kevin Allen began connecting inside, as the smaller Falcons had no answer for the 6'10 Allen. "He has the ability to be a double-double guy every night," PCC head coach Jesse Shaw observed. "He could be one of the best low-post scorers we've had since I've been here." Allen finished the night with 17 points and 12 boards.
Toward the end of the half, Kaion Seales started taking advantage of a defensive mismatch, and rattled off 8 straight points, boosting the Beavers lead. "Seales is an all-around good player," Coach Shaw said. "He can score from the block or shoot the 3. He's a versatile scorer."
A Rob Davis 3-pointer swished in at the buzzer, and Pratt took a comfortable 38-24 lead to the halftime locker room.
The Beavers got their transition game going early in the second half. Schieber made a couple of buckets and Tshikaya put down another dunk. "Thomas has a lot of athletic attributes," Shaw said of the 6'7 Paris, France sophomore. "He has an impressive skill set. He has a lot of bad habits that we have to work on, but he showed what he can do in this game, especially in the second half."
Davis banged in another 3-ball, and the Beavers were up by 20 at the media time-out.
Between the 7:00 and 5:00 mark, PCC employed some pressure defense, and the result was a 13-0 run for the Beavers. With 5:00 to go, Pratt was up 78-41 and both benches were being used freely. Dylan Hunter hit 8 straight points for the Beavers off the bench down the stretch. "Dylan can stroke it," Shaw agreed.
The final tally was 92-51 PCC. Despite the one-sided score, Coach Shaw wasn't overly impressed with his Beavers' performance against the overmatched Falcons. "We didn't play good defense in the first half", he explained. "We were giving up offensive rebounds to a team that hardly had anyone over 6'3. I was pretty frustrated at halftime."
Page 2 of 2 - "We played much better in the second half, though," Shaw continued. "We have the talent to compete in the Jayhawk West, but we're going to have to get better." The Beavers take the court again Tuesday night at home against Hesston College, with an 8 p.m. tip-off scheduled.

"A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away."
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.
"The simple, elegant and versatile system must offer expedience where practical, but expedience can and will be sacrificed in favour of any of the above. It must be sacrificed whenever implementation simplicity is jeopardized. When expedience is compromised by a resulting complexity of user interface, it must present its complexity without unnecessary complication. All other principles must be sacrificed in favour of design simplicity. Implementation simplicity is more important than interface simplicity."

In the past 20 years, the scientific community has faced a great development in different fields due to the development of high-throughput, omics technologies. Starting from the four major types of omics measurements (genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics), a variety of omics subdisciplines (epigenomics, lipidomics, interactomics, metallomics, diseasomics, etc.) has emerged. Thanks to the omics approach, researchers are now facing the possibility of connecting food components, foods, the diet, the individual, the health, and the diseases, but this broad vision needs not only the application of advanced technologies, but mainly the ability of looking at the problem with a different approach, a "foodomics approach". Foodomics is the comprehensive, high-throughput approach for the exploitation of food science in the light of an improvement of human nutrition. Foodomics is a new approach to food and nutrition that studies the food domain as a whole with the nutrition domain to reach the main objective, the optimization of human health and well-being.

Gastric Bypass vs. Sleeve Gastrectomy continued...
"In some previous studies, sleeve gastrectomy was found to have equal efficacy in weight reduction to gastric bypass for morbidly obese patients," says study researcher Wei-Jei Lee, MD, PhD, a surgeon at Min-Sheng General Hospital.
Lee says that in her study, rerouting food around the duodenum (a portion of small intestine) appeared to make the difference.
"In type 2 diabetes, the duodenum may play a role in insulin resistance. Therefore, duodenum exclusion by surgery might help in reducing insulin resistance," Lee says.
Choosing Weight Loss Surgery
In light of these results, doctors say it's important for patients to go into any weight loss surgery clear-eyed and armed with information.
"What I try to explain to everybody is that a band is a diet with a seatbelt, there's no metabolic weight loss component to it at all," says Mitchell Roslin, MD, chief of bariatric surgery at Northern Westchester Hospital in Mount Kisco, N.Y. "You put a seatbelt around the stomach."
Often significant weight loss, by itself, will improve diabetes.
To the extent that people lose weight with Lap-Band, Roslin says, they may see their diabetes improve. But weight loss with Lap-Band tends to be slower than it is with a bypass and in the long term may not be as substantial.
If control of diabetes is a primary concern, having an operation that bypasses the upper intestine is probably the best bet, says John G. Kral, MD, director of surgical services at SUNY Downstate Medical Center in New York.
"Adding type 2 diabetes to the equation, the evidence is fairly clear that diversionary operations are more effective. That is a powerful factor for a patient who would come requesting a bariatric operation and who has type 2 diabetes," Kral says.
However, he adds that the gastric bypass is a complicated procedure that's best performed by an experienced surgeon at a hospital where they are frequently performed.
Kral says surgeons need to have performed about 125 gastric bypass procedures before they can reliably and safely repeat them in patients.

At the August EMG General Meeting, we asked for donations to help our Inner City Outings group pay for taking youth to the October Chapter Campout at Cuivre River State Park. We received an enthusiastic and generous response of $482 in donations for that impromptu request. This will help send more than 20 kids to the campout. We appreciate this marvelous outpouring of generosity!
The cover of the September SierraScape featured a photo of a cave entrance above Courtois Creek, labelled "Bear Cave." The correct name of the cave is "Bat Cave." We apologize if our mislabelling has caused confusion among any bats, bears, or speleologists.
Fall Trail Work -- Your Help Is Needed
It is that time of the year to start hiking in the Ozarks and in other parts of the state. Missouri is blessed with some beautiful trails throughout the state and the fall season is the perfect time of the year to explore these trails. It is also the time of the year to start to maintain and rebuild the trails that take hikers into the outdoors and our wildlands.
For over 30 years, the Sierra Club has help maintain the Ozark Trail and trails at Hawn State Park. Your help is needed in the Pioneer Forest the last week of October. We will be working on the Ozark Trail or the Current River Trail. You may join us for the whole week or any part of the week from October 22nd through October 30th in the Pioneer Forest.
Contact Paul Stupperich, (314) 429-4352, or Bob Gestel, (636) 296-8975, for more information.
Hope to see you on the trail. All tools will be provided -- we need your time, your muscles and your smile!

Long-time EMG members Jim and Phyllis Young have the first net zero energy home in St. Louis city. Many of us know Jim as the tireless coordinator of lemonade production and sales. Jim and Phyllis have hosted many lemonade volunteer appreciation parties in this very home. Congratulations!

University City Leads in Sustainability
by Lois Sechrist
University City has been a leader in sustainable practices in the St. Louis area for many years. It has one of the oldest curbside recycling programs in the state. Its bike paths, walking trails, and pedestrian friendly shopping district demonstrate the nationwide movement of local governments committed to making environmental issues a priority. The City has switched to lower-energy traffic lights and the historic renovation of the 100-year-old City Hall was the first LEED Certified municipal building in St. Louis.
University City established a Green Practices Committee in 2008, which will become a full City Commission this fall. The Committee submitted a Resolution to the City Council in 2009 to tackle five priorities:
Perform a greenhouse gas (GHG) emission inventory and set aggressive but attainable emission reduction goals for 2015, 2020 and 2025.
Perform energy audits of all City facilities and develop an Energy Master Plan to reduce the amount of energy used in its operations.
Analyze street lighting and develop a comprehensive approach to reduce energy use and cost.
Revise Building and Zoning codes to align with sustainable design, construction and operating best practices
Define sustainable design guidelines for capital projects and the respective return on investment expectations for such projects
The Committee is issuing a 47-page Sustainability Strategic Plan this fall, which outlines goals and action items for the following seven areas:
Ecosystems/ Habitat
Water/ Stormwater
Air Quality/ Transportation
Waste/ Resource Conservation
Land Use/ Open Space/ Parks
Green Buildings
Please contact Lynnette Hicks with University City to learn more about University City green practices. We would be happy to share what we have learned and where we plan to go next!
The President of the United States declared September as National Wilderness Month. In his proclamation he wrote:
"Protecting our wilderness areas and their riches -- clean water, stretches of undisturbed land, thriving wildlife, and healthy ecosystems -- is critical to the health of our environment and our communities. Today, wilderness areas serve as places for us to roam, hunt, fish, and find solitude. They are also strong engines of local economies, providing tourism and recreation revenue for communities."
Missouri has seven Wilderness areas on U.S. Forest Service lands plus one that is on Mingo National Wildlife Refuge. With the advent of climate change these areas may become critical refuges for species which can't survive the multiple stressors found on more developed public lands.

Hello everybody,
Sorry for this post as it appears to have been posted many times here. I tried searching and did some of the steps that have been posted here as well as via google.
I am a newbie when it comes to programming but need some help.
Whenever I access a blog post's specific URL, it provides me with a "too many redirects" error.
Example Website: http://ericabaldwinphotography.com/blog/sunset-whitney-golf-course-wedding-justin-krystal/
I have the following plug-ins installed:
Twitter Widget Pro
WordPress SEO
I have tried deactivating Yoast's WordPress SEO, deleted it, and even rebuilt my database.
I've forced www and not www, changed my site to www. as well as without it. Nothing seems to work. I can access the main blog page but can't click on any links within.
I tried another suggestion of accessing my wp-config.php file and removing:
define('WP_CACHE', true); //Added by default
I don't have define ('COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'www.mydomain.com'); to remove.
I am unsure how to "reset permalinks" and have tried changing the structure to default and then back to no avail. I am sure this is where the issue lies but am unsure.
I also cannot find my .htaccess file to check to see if it's valid.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

To promote the Sept. 25 release of The Avengers on Blu-ray and DVD, Marvel has rolled out a Comic-Con International poster for "Marvel One-Shot: Item 47," the third in a series of short films — "The Consultant" and "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Thor's Hammer" were the first two — that will be included as an extra feature.
As the studio revealed last week, "Item 47″stars Lizzy Caplan and Jesse Bradford as a down-on-their luck couple that comes across a Chitauri weapon left behind following the New York City battle with Earth's Mightiest Heroes and "proceed to make some incredibly bad decisions." Maximiliano Hernández, who appeared as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent in Thor, "The Consultant" and The Avengers, is joined by Titus Welliver (Lost) on a mission to retrieve the weapon, dubbed "Item 47."
Comic-Con attendees will have a chance to see an advance look at the short: All they have to do is download the free Avengers Second Screen app, which will provide a series of clues leading to a hunt Friday morning through San Diego, ending that evening with the screening.
Can't wait for this one! New SHIELD agent, plus Lizzy fucking Caplan. Will be great.
"All they have to do is download the free Avengers Second Screen app,
which will provide a series of clues leading to a hunt Friday morning

Sounds like a lot of work, considering it'll be on BluRay in the near future.
You know it's not "work" when it's for fun, right?

I have volunteered in a number of programs at the senior center since 2003, including as a computer instructor, tax preparer and in the golf league. The senior center engages so many volunteers in such a wide range of activities, and provide an unlimited opportunity for people to truly have an impact on our community.

I checked via FTP, and the wp-content/plugins/backwpup/ directory is there, but it's either empty or nearly empty (such as only an sdk directory).
I updated the sites using WP Remote, but I don't think that caused the problem.

I tried suggestions I saw in other posts (clearing caches etc) but to no avail. I primarily use chrome, but also check in Opera, Firefox, IE, Orca, Safari and Maxthon browsers. The menus are also a mess on mobile phones.
I don't want to update the theme in my client's websites until I can figure out how to fix the issue.

45 Minute Roast Turkey (Mark Bittman)
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 35 mins
Another great recipe from Mark Bittman. It's almost a given that time and oven space are at a premium on Thanksgiving Day, and this method of roasting turkey, unorthodox as it is, addresses both. Split, flattened, and roasted at 450°F (lowering the heat if the bird browns too fast), a 10-pound bird will be done in about 40 minutes. Really. It will also be more evenly browned (all of the skin is exposed to the heat), more evenly cooked (the legs are more exposed; the wings shield the breasts), and moister than birds cooked conventionally. But it works only for relatively small turkeys.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 (8 -12 lb) whole turkey
- 10 -14 garlic cloves, lightly crushed
- 3 sprigs fresh tarragon (or several pinches dried) or 3 sprigs thyme (or several pinches dried)
- 1⁄3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- salt & freshly ground black pepper
- Heat the oven to 450°F Put the turkey on a stable cutting board, breast side down, and cut out the backbone. Turn the bird over and press on it to flatten. Put it breast side up in a roasting pan that will accommodate it (a slightly snug fit is okay). The wings should partially cover the breasts, and the legs should protrude a bit.
- Tuck the garlic and the herb under the bird and in the nooks of the wings and legs. Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper.
- Roast for 20 minutes, undisturbed. By this time the bird should be browning; remove it from the oven, baste with the pan juices, and return it to the oven. Reduce the heat to 400°F (or 350°F if it seems to be browning very quickly).
- Begin to check the bird's temperature about 15 minutes later (10 minutes if the bird is on the small side). It is done when the thigh meat measures 155–165°F on an instant-read meat thermometer; check it in a couple of places.
- Let the bird rest for a few minutes before carving, then serve with the garlic cloves and pan juices. Or serve at room temperature.

I made this on Thanksgiving and it was great! I was so glad I did. I had to work that day and couldn't be home with the turkey. My husband smashed it down for me and I cooked it when I got home from work. I will make it again next Thanksgiving also! The flavor was good, too.
Unbelievable! This is THE best turkey I have ever made - and I have made lots of turkeys. I didn't keep track of the time but it was less than an hour for a 9 pound turkey breast - not a whole turkey. Very suitable for a dinner party! I will double the amount of garlic next time as it was very tasty with a few cloves smeared on sliced turkey and we needed more. :)

I already posted this in the "How To and Troubleshooting" section, but it's probably more appropriate here in the feedback area as a bug request... So sorry for the duplicate post...
It would probably be a good idea to update these in the next release.
Removing the "$.browser" method isn't quite so simple, because using "$.support()" is a whole other concept. I noticed that "$.browser()" is used to construct the admin bar, and specifically targets mozilla. In fact I am getting continuously the following message in my chrome inspector tools when I hover over the admin-bar items:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'mozilla' of undefined ---- admin-bar.min.js:1
It will be necessary to target the specific functionality of mozilla that is different from other browsers in order to use "$.support()".

This paper assesses the effects of different health conditions on happiness. Based on new data for Latin America, we examine the effects of different conditions across age, gender, and income cohorts. Anxiety and pain have stronger effects than physical problems, likely because people adapt better to one-time shocks than to constant uncertainty. The negative effects of health conditions are very large when compared with the effects of income on happiness. And, while higher peer income typically elicits envy, better peer health provides positive signals for life and health satisfaction. Health norms vary widely across countries.
