LAS VEGAS -- Roku is launching a line of TVs that play video from services like Netflix (NFLX) without requiring a set-top box. While similar to smart TVs on the market already, the company's Internet streaming platform offers some 1,200 apps and more comprehensive niche content choices.
The Saratoga-based streaming set-top box pioneer is partnering with two of the biggest Chinese TV makers in the world, TCL Corp. and Hisense International Co. Ltd. on six models. It plans to showcase them on the sidelines of the annual International CES gadget show in Las Vegas, starting Monday.
The Roku TV will also provide users a way to access feeds from regular live TV providers and to connect to other devices such as Blu-ray disc players.
Roku launched its first streaming video player in May 2008, when the box only played content from Netflix. Since then, the company has sold nearly 8 million units and claims that its device is more widely used than Apple's (AAPL) Apple TV set-top box. Apps available on Roku's devices include everything from Amazon Instant Video to Karaoke Party on Demand.
Anthony Wood, the founder and CEO of Roku, said the TVs will be priced affordably. He expects the sets to be sold in the U.S. at large retailers such as Walmart, Target and Best Buy starting in late 2014.
Wood says he would like the Roku platform to replace those offered by a variety of TV manufacturers. Many TV makers' platforms lack key apps from content providers like ESPN, Fox and the NBA.
Roku shares in the revenue when its partners sell advertisements, rent movies or sign up new subscribers. Within a few years, such revenue will be larger than the sales of the boxes themselves, Wood says.
"We do believe that streaming players are going to be a big business for a long time," he says. "But this is definitely the future of Roku."

Federal Regulators and Washington State to Collaborate on Water Power
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) signed an agreement with the State of Washington on June 4 to coordinate their reviews of water power projects in Washington state waters. The agreement specifically applies to "hydrokinetic" projects, which draw on the movement of water from waves, tides, or currents. Under the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), the two parties will notify each other when one becomes aware of a potential applicant for a preliminary permit, pilot project license, or commercial license. They will also agree on a schedule for processing any license applications, and they will coordinate the environmental reviews for the projects. The agreement also leaves room for the State of Washington to prepare a comprehensive plan on the siting of hydrokinetic projects, committing FERC to take the state plan into consideration when issuing a license for any hydrokinetic project. Oregon signed a similar agreement with FERC last year. See the FERC press release and the MOU (PDF 1.6 MB). Download Adobe Reader.
Water power technologies have been steadily advancing in recent months. In November 2008, Ocean Power Technologies (OPT) installed one of its PowerBuoy wave energy converters near Kaneohe Bay on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, as part of an ongoing program with the U.S. Navy. The PowerBuoy is located about a mile off the coast in 100 feet of water. In April, the company was awarded an additional $1.1 million to support continuing upgrades and testing of the PowerBuoy. In December 2008, a SeaGen tidal energy system, developed by Marine Current Turbines (MCT), reached full power at 1.2 megawatts. The device is deployed off the coast of Northern Ireland and is delivering power to the electrical grid. In January, Voith Hydro Wavegen Ltd. received approval from the Scottish Government to install a four-megawatt wave energy system on the shore of the Isle of Lewis. And in April, Aquamarine Power successfully tested its Oyster wave energy converter off the coast of England, producing more than 170 kilowatts of power. The global recession has taken its toll, however, and in February, Finavera Renewables surrendered its permits for wave energy projects in California and Washington, as the company is focusing on wind power in the near term. See the OPT press releases on the PowerBuoy deployment and added funding, as well as the press releases from MCT, Wavegen, Aquamarine Power, and Finavera Renewables (PDF 28 KB). Download Adobe Reader.
With so much going on, DOE has created a Marine and Hydrokinetic Technology Database to keep track of it all, while the International Energy Agency has prepared an 83-page report on the current status of the technology (PDF 2.5 MB). Looking ahead, a new report from Pike Research concludes that the next five years could be crucial for ocean energy. The report projects that the ocean energy industry will provide 2,700 megawatts of power by 2015, and if the technology proves itself, 200,000 megawatts could be installed by 2025. That should spark some interesting conversations at EnergyOcean 2009, the world's leading conference and exhibition on renewable ocean energy, which takes place on June 16-18 in Rockport, Maine. See the Pike Research press release and the EnergyOcean 2009 Web site.

SEATTLE -- Jed Lowrie summed up Seattle's Hisashi Iwakuma in one word: "phenomenal."
Josh Donaldson summed up the A's performance of late in three words: "We're playing bad."
Iwakuma was the dominant force Friday in the Mariners' 6-3 win over the A's, a game in which Oakland was never really in contention. He gave up a hit to an old Seattle teammate, John Jaso, then retired 16 in succession.
By that point the Mariners had built up a 6-0 lead, and the A's were never a threat as Oakland lost its fifth consecutive game and fell under .500 for the first time since the first week of the season.
"That was the first time all year I've seen a pitcher make not even one mistake," Lowrie said. "He was on point with every pitch he made. He had phenomenal command of his splitter."
That being the case, the A's needed to remain close to Seattle to have a chance. They didn't. For the third time in the first eight games of this road trip, the club was down by at least five runs early.
Starting pitcher Dan Straily blamed himself for hanging a changeup that slumping Raul Ibanez jumped on for a three-run homer in the third inning that made it 5-0 en route to 6-0. But it was a play in the first inning that set the stage for the rest of the game.
Third baseman Donaldson cut in front of shortstop Lowrie in pursuit of a grounder off the bat of Kendrys Morales. The ball likely was going to be a double play no matter which one got to it, given Morales' slow feet. But Donaldson atypically pulled off the ball, in the process blocking Lowrie's view. The ball sneaked through to set up a two-run inning.
"That one's all on me," Donaldson said. "I saw (Lowrie) out of my left eye, and I saw it was going to be a play when I'd have to reach. I tried to stop."
Manager Bob Melvin said it was the kind of play on which Donaldson should either attack from the beginning or just let Lowrie handle.
"I don't know if it would have been a double play," Melvin said, "but with Morales running it might have been. If you are going to go get it, just keep going after it."
Lowrie said he thought Donaldson would take the ball, then when he didn't, Lowrie "just lost sight of the ball."
The A's have lost sight of more than that. They've lost sight of the team they were early last month. After getting off to a 12-4 start, in which Jaso said "it seemed like no one had a chance against us," the A's have floundered to the point where Seattle, the winner of eight of its past 11, can move ahead of Oakland and into second place in the A.L. West with a win Saturday.
"I just think we're playing bad in all areas," Donaldson said. "We've got to get our fight back. We're going out and they're jumping us early, and we're not waking up until the seventh or eighth inning."
That much is true enough. On this trip, the A's have been outscored 15-2 in the first three innings of games. They've outscored the opposition 6-0 in the eighth and ninth innings, but it's generally been too late.
"I don't know that we've lost confidence,'' Lowrie said. "What is better to say is that we just need to play better baseball.''

Starting on Monday, weather permitting, the Chillicothe Street Department will be chip-sealing several streets within the city limits. This process will be covering the road with liquid asphalt and covering that with a bituminous material, (coal slag). "We are expecting this process to last for two weeks total for the project," said Street Superintendent Barry Arthur. Each street should take no more than a day to complete. "During this time, we are asking the residents to have your cars parked off of the street and adjoining shoulder area," he said. "This will make certain no overspray from the liquid asphalt occurs." The street will be closed temporarily during this operation and will be reopened the same day. Flaggers will be present to aid the traveling public. Arthur urges motorists to use caution in the work zones.

Judge Doug Flanagan was having a hard time breathing and even though a couple tests came back just fine, he still knew something wasn't right. (WRDW-TV / Sept. 6, 2011)
News 12 at 6 o'clock / Tuesday, Sept. 6, 2011
EVANS, Ga. -- The juvenile court in Columbia County is just about caught up after its only judge had emergency heart surgery last month.
Judge Doug Flanagan is a busy man and now he's a walking example for you to listen to your heart and your body.
Flanagan is back behind his bench after having quadruple bypass heart surgery last month.
"I'm doing good, I'm feeling fine. I'm back at work. I'm working at least half days," Flanagan said.
The juvenile court judge was having a hard time breathing and even though a couple tests came back just fine, he still knew something wasn't right.
"I was listening to my body and doing the common sense thing," he said. "When your body sends you signals, it's no different than your car; when your body sends you signals, smart people, especially men, need to go have it checked."
So, on Aug. 1, Flanagan traded in his judge's robe for a hospital gown.
"I went in there to have the test and they kept me," he said. "I'm happy I had it checked."
The 64-year-old says the ordeal was scary for his whole family.
"It was a wake-up call, but then again I was smart enough to go because I didn't feel good," he said.
He encourages everyone to pay close attention to what your body may be telling you.
"Heart attacks are the silent killer, if you don't feel good, go get it checked," Flanagan said.
The judge spent a couple of weeks out of commission, but now he's back and better than ever.
"I went crazy at home," he said. "After about the second week of surgery, I've been back here working to get the cases down every day. Taxpayers want that."
And in a growing Columbia County with cases piling up, he sure was missed.
"Every day this week we'll be having court. Oh, this county has really grown, we have about 125,000 people in this county and there's a lot more issues that are coming in here as the county grows," he said.
Now that he's all patched up, Flanagan says there's no slowing things down.
"My wife knows she can't slow me down," Flanagan said.
Flanagan turns 65 next month. He said just a few days before doctors found the blockages, he hiked 5 miles with his boy scout troop. He considers himself very lucky.
Judge Saunders pitched in and filled in for Judge Flanagan to keep the juvenile cases under control. The clerks say they're almost caught back up.

1 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] Yes.
2 Q. [Mr Rampton] Can we then just look because Mr Irving, I think ----
3 MR JUSTICE GRAY: I am not sure I have the point on that. How
4does that help us to Heydrich's view about German
5owned ----
6 MR RAMPTON: What Professor Evans said in ----
7 MR JUSTICE GRAY: --- shops not to be set on fire?
8 MR RAMPTON: I am sorry.
9 MR JUSTICE GRAY: I just wondered how that cast any light on
10the 2.56 message.
11 MR RAMPTON: Because that also is a prohibition against the
12setting fire. It does not say any other kind of damage.
13The setting fire to Jewish shops.
14 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Yes, I see.
15 MR RAMPTON: This is synagogues: "synagogue fires only if
16there is no danger of the fire spreading to the
17surrounding buildings". Perhaps, my Lord, what one can --
18I should not really give evidence, but it is an argument
19rather than evidence -- assume is that since Heydrich had
20spoken of synagogue fires at 1.20, Opdenhoff, Hess's man,
21need only speak of shops at 2.56.
22 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Yes, I see.
23 MR RAMPTON: I do not know. The key word is obviously the
24"arson" word. (To the witness): If you would just
25glance at those four headings, Professor Evans ----
26 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] Yes.
1 Q. [Mr Rampton] --- in the Heydrich telex and then please turn finally on
2this topic to page 276 of Mr Irving's Goebbels book?
3 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] Yes.
4 Q. [Mr Rampton] At the bottom of the page we see this: "What of Himmler
5and Hitler? Both were totally unaware of what Goebbels
6had done until the synagogue next to Munich's Four Seasons
7Hotel set on fire around 1 a.m. Heydrich, Himmler's
8national chief of police, was relaxing down in the hotel
9bar; he hurried up to Himmler's room, then telexed
10instructions to all police authorities to restore law and
11order, protect Jews and Jewish property, and halt any
12ongoing incidents". I ask you this. Does that seem to
13you a fair and accurate reproduction of the substance of
14Heydrich's telex at 1.20 a.m.?
15 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] No, it does not, Mr Rampton.
16 Q. [Mr Rampton] If you look over the page, you will see that the footnote
17reference for 43 and I think it is on page 613 ----
18 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] 613, I have it.
19 Q. [Mr Rampton] It must be a wrong reference.
20 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Yes, it is.
21 MR RAMPTON: It is a wrong reference.
22 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] It should be 3051.
23 Q. [Mr Rampton] Yes.
24 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] We went through this.
25 Q. [Mr Rampton] Yes, we did, did we not. We have done the Heydrich
26telex. I am just going to go back momentarily to the
1Hess's office telex at 2.56. That is further down page
2277. At 2.56 a.m. you see that, the end of a line?
3 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] Yes. I just say that the wrong reference is obviously
4just a slip of pen on Mr Irving's part.
5 Q. [Mr Rampton] Mr Irving has accepted that and the right reference should
6be ----
7 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] The reference to Karl Wolff's evidence has nothing to do
8with what is in the text. It is simply an additional
10 Q. [Mr Rampton] I understand that. That was my mistake, a slight
11diversion. Can we go down about quarter of the way down
13 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] Yes.
14 Q. [Mr Rampton] We have a sentence which begins towards the end of the
15line at 2.56 am. Do you see that?
16 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] Yes.
17 Q. [Mr Rampton] At 2.56 a.m. Rudolf Hess's staff also began cabling,
18telephoning, and radioing instructions to gauleiters and
19police authorities around the nation to halt the
20madness". Again, does that seem to you a fair and
21accurate account of what was in that Opdenhof telegram?
22 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] No. It is total and obviously deliberate perversion of
23the contents of the telegram.
24 Q. [Mr Rampton] If you would like to turn to page 613 to note 49?
25 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] Yes.
26 Q. [Mr Rampton] I can tell you that the reference is ND 3063-PS, which is
1in fact the Nazi party court report of 13th February 1939
2we first looked at.
3 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] Exactly right.
4 Q. [Mr Rampton] Now, Professor, you will need a file called J1, tab 3,
5page 13.
6 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] Yes, I have it.
7 Q. [Mr Rampton] Thank you very much. I just want to ask you, this is the
8famous or infamous Hitler Himmler telephone log of 1st
9December 1941?
10 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] Yes.
11 Q. [Mr Rampton] You do not need your report for this at all. This is a
12question of German language. Do you remember that
13Mr Irving translated or transcribed this entry as (you
14will forgive my German) Verwaltungs Fuhrer der SS Juden
15zu bleiben, except he did not transcribe the first part?
16 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] That is right, Juden zu bleiben.
17 Q. [Mr Rampton] If it had said Verwaltungs Fuhrer der SS Juden zu bleiben
18in German, would it make any sense?
19 MR JUSTICE GRAY: No, he said it would not.
20 MR RAMPTON: He said that, did he?
21 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] No, it would not make any sense.
22 Q. [Mr Rampton] The second question is a history question rather than a
23German question. As it stands in its correct form
24Verwaltungs Fuhrer der SS haben zu bleiben, is it an entry
25of any significance, historically?
26 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] I suppose it might be, if you were writing a history of
1the Verwaltungs Fuhrer der SS.
2 Q. [Mr Rampton] Yes.
3 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] But in the overall scheme of things it does not seem to me
4of shattering importance. Juden zu bleiben, of course,
5taken by itself, is not grammatically possible really.
6 Q. [Mr Rampton] I suppose he might have just written down Verwaltungs
7Fuhrer der SS as a sort of isolated, what Mr Irving calls
8an orphan. It is difficult to see, I suppose, what it
9might have meant, is it?
10 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] No. It just would have meant you can see plenty further
11up there.
12 Q. [Mr Rampton] Yes.
13 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] Of just notes to himself really. But clearly it is the
14indentation which is reproduced on the original, the next
15page but not on this transcript on the second line, which
16is the key.
17 MR RAMPTON: Yes, you made that point. Thank you. Finally
18this, and I am afraid it is because it is late and it is
19your last question, it is a little bit cheap. You
20remember the dispute on page 400 of your report?
21 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] Yes.
22 Q. [Mr Rampton] About the way in which you translated in the third line
23Dr Goebbels' diary entry of 27th March 1942, "in general
24one may conclude that 60 per cent of them must be
25liquidated". Do you remember that?
26 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] Yes. That was today.

WASHINGTON (October 6, 2012)—Skeptics suggest the decline in the jobless rate last month from 8.1 percent to 7.8 percent is the result of political manipulation, but career government officials, economists and even some Republicans say the charge is nonsense.
Several dozen people at the Bureau of Labor Statistics produce unemployment numbers, working under tight security and without White House input or supervision.
Census workers who interview Americans in about 60,000 households or visit them door-to-door collect the data used by the BLS.
The conspiracy theories surfaced after former General Electric CEO Jack Welch, a Republican, tweeted his skepticism five minutes after the BLS announced the unemployment rate Friday morning.
Welch charged, "These guys from Chicago will do anything."
Florida Congressman Allen West called the report "Orwellian."
But former BLS commissioner Keith Hall, who was appointed by President George W. Bush, says the numbers are "very trustworthy" and would be impossible to manipulate.

they start things off nice and funky with a little run through ctb-wolfman's-jibboo. none of these tunes are taken too far out there, but wolfman's in particular, sound really good. a rare first set mike's song gets the house jumping. this one is solid but it does nothing too spectacular on the way to simple. simple is nice and it slowly flows into tmwsiy/avenu. this one is always a pleaser. i have yet to seem them finish this sandwich in ohio. they shot into twist around out of avenu 2 years before in columbus, and now, gordon leads the charge into a firey weekapaugh's groove.... no complaints here. gordon really blazes all the way through this tune, while trey sprinkles some nice licks here and there. finally, they smoke through wmmggw, closing down a very fine first set. the set list on this one almost reads like a 2nd set, so its tough to go into set break with any complaints. sure, mike's didnt soar like it used to, but it still rocked. better than seeing gbott for the 30th time in 2 years.
first tube gets the crowd honed back in, and it spaces out a bit before finding a really nice limb by limb. they jammed this one out nicely without straying too far from the limb theme. dirt is played well, but i did not really like it in this slot. i don't think anyone really needed a "breather" song here, but it's all good when they follow it with a nice deep it's ice. then they do it again, with velvet sea this time. searching for some flow, they delve into a good funky sand. i'm not a fan of the mini key board, but i still like these sand jams. not the best, not the worst. at least trey stayed awake for all of this one; i am quite certain he nodded off for a minute or so during sand in cincy in 99. fishman and gordon really shine on this sand. guyute was well-executed. as it was played so frequently at this time, it was one of the few "composition heavy" pieces they were consistentley nailing in 99-00. bbfcfm almost comes out of nowhere on the back section of this guyute. personally, i kind of like this song, as long as it is kept to about once a tour, but this is a fun version. then they fire up a rare set closing drowned, just to remind everyone that yes, it is raining pretty damn hard. trey takes a nice solo, but this is not a world changing drowned here. it's the thought that counts sometimes. cavern sends the fans home happy.
this is one of those very rare shows that i think the first set was a little better than the 2nd. the setlist was stacked in the first set, and the quality of play was about equal. plus, the second set seemed to lack direction and flow. after sand, they found a bit of a groove, but the first half of the set, it seemed a little up and down.
set 1:
wolfman's brother, mike's groove
set 2:
it's ice, sand, guyute>bbfcfm

Which Facial Filler Is Right for You?
Find out by reading this guide to popular non-surgical anti-aging skin treatments like Juvederm, Perlane and more
Let's be Zen about it. Take pride in each furrow as it represents a hardship overcome. Find joy in every crease as it is like a smile remembered. Ugh, who are we kidding? Let's plump those suckers up!
"The new world of fillers is tremendous for the consumer," says noted dermatologist Kathy Fields, co-founder of skin care brand Rodan & Fields. "[With them], we refresh faces, removing hollows, sags, dents and lines. We can't make anyone a 20-year-old again but we can make people look great for their age."
OK, so you decide you're game for a non-surgical skin treatment like Juvederm, Perlane or Radiesse, but you're wondering which one to use. The advent of safer, longer-lasting injectable fillers has made grandma's gold-standard collagen go the way of the dodo, but with such a glut of choices, women today are like kids with those dang Webkinz -- our minds beleaguered by what to choose and why. Here, we'll explain what the most common non-surgical facial fillers are, and share feedback from readers and doctors on whom they're best for and the pros and cons of each.

AVB on Bale:-
"He is obviously a great miss but, to be fair, probably with this result we would have asked him to get the yellow card to be clean and ready for the last eight,"
It's not the we didn't know it goes on, but brave to be so blatant about it. I wonder if this will be picked up.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
have a think before u speak john. it was only 1-0 at the time he got the yellow.
do u really think we are that confident of going through just because we are 1-0 up & still have to go to inter.
now, if we were 3-0 up & he got a yellow, then your idea would make more sense.
there's no way he would want bale to get a yellow & miss the 2nd leg whilst we are winning just 1-0.
it worked out well in the end because we ended up winning 3-0. so id have wanted bale to stay at home for the 2nd leg anyway.
cringing dive thou. glad the ref spotted it. he spotted their dive too which was good.
its simple. after a game if there any incidents of diving that went unpunished, a panel review it & give that player a yellow card if found guilty of diving. name & shame them.
but equally we should rescind yellow cards too. there's been about 3 clear fouls on bale that he has been wrongly booked for diving for. he ended up getting a 1 match suspension for 5 yellows even thou 3 of them were clear fouls & not dives. that cant be right!

"have a think before u speak john" - perhaps you should follow your own advice?
If there is no way he would want Bale to get a yellow card, why did he say it in the post match interview?
I'm not saying the one he got, he got under instruction. What AVB has said though, is that if after being three nil up, he would have asked Bale to get one.
The only discussion point is 'Will anything be done now AVB has been so open and obvious about it?'
so to summarise- avb cant be punished for something he might have done!

ha ha ha It doesn't look like you know the meaning 'to summarise'!
What you have done is made yourself look stupid because you failed to read and understand my post.

Yarn Profile: Lion Brand Kitchen Cotton
By special guest reviewer Kay Gardiner of Mason-Dixon Knitting
First Impressions
This is dishcloth cotton, plain and simple. While other yarns are sipping from demitasses and making sparkling conversation upstairs, Kitchen Cotton is in the scullery, scouring the pots and getting shouted at by the cook. Don't be fooled by the fresh, pretty colors; Kitchen Cotton works for a living.
Knitting Up
Once you're accustomed to the yarn's slight tendency to split (due to the loose twist) and its utter lack of elasticity (a characteristic of even the most luxurious unblended cottons), Kitchen Cotton knits up just great.
I picked up a pair of short, snub-nosed bamboo needles, cast on the time-honored Ballband Dishcloth pattern, and sighed with happiness as rows of colorful bricks appeared. Kitchen Cotton's stitch definition is crystalline, with stitches that are regular in size and shape.
The yarn does feel coarse and dry in the hands, which may cause the uninitiated to whimper. But in the finished handknit, "coarse and dry" translates to "sturdy and absorbent."
Both qualities are a plus for any knitted item that is destined for daily service in the kitchen or bath.
Blocking / Washing
I washed a sample dishcloth in hot water (on the ominous "sanitize" setting) and set the dryer to "normal." The colors faded a bit, and there was some shrinkage (10 percent or so) on this first wash, but the cloth smelled and felt great. It went straight into the dishcloth drawer and assumed its place in the sink rotation.
If you're knitting a blanket or sweater from this yarn, the label's care instructions will yield a softer fabric that will probably look nicer for a longer time. I laundered another dishcloth (why knit a swatch when you can knit a dishcloth?) according to the instructions on the label, and it faded very little and had a less cardboardy feel.
But I do not recommend making a garment out of a yarn this rough. A baby blanket—another item that sees hard wear and frequent laundering—maybe, but not a garment. There are cotton and blended yarns available in this price neighborhood that are more suitable for clothing.
But paradoxically, if Kitchen Cotton is knitted to gauge (or a bit tighter), the knitted fabric is tough and durable; it pills very little.
Dishcloth Nation (yes, there is a robust culture of dishcloth knitters) will likely squawk about the yarn's limited color range (only 14 on the current shade card), since a major attraction of knitting small kitchen items is the opportunity for low-risk color play.
As any kindergartner can attest, a box of crayons with only 14 colors is not as much fun as the flip-top box that includes "Burnt Siena" and has a built-in sharpener.

OAKLAND -- Warriors point guard Stephen Curry (sprained left ankle) was on the floor for the opening tip of Sunday's Game 4 playoff game against the San Antonio Spurs. Coach Mark Jackson said before the game he'd be "shocked" if Curry didn't play.
Curry, who rolled his left ankle in the fourth quarter of Game 3 on Friday, was officially listed as a game-time decision. He has received 'round-the-clock treatment on his left ankle, which he initially sprained in Game 2 of the first round series against Denver on April 23.
Before tipoff, Curry jumped roped in the hallway outside the locker room and did other movement tests. He then took to the court where he ran lines and did some defensive sliding movements to further test his ankle.
Jackson said he spent time with Curry on Saturday. He said Curry was the same as usual, laughing and joking. He made multiple trips to the facility on Saturday for treatment.
Curry said after Saturday's practice, which he sat out, that he expected to play. But everything was on hold until he saw how his ankle responded overnight. Jackson said Curry can play, he won't be limited.
"If he's on the court, he's pretty much the ball handler and the guy running show," Jackson said.
Staff writer Carl Steward contributed to this report. Check back here for more on this developing story.

December 13, 2005
It's a tragedy we will never forget. Nine people died following the Graniteville train derailment and chemical release. Almost one year later, hundreds of survivors still suffer from the chlorine they inhaled. News 12 was there when one church announced plans to mark the one-year anniversary of the Graniteville train disaster.
One year later the tears continue, it still hurts. Ask Bonnie Brown who lost her brother after the Graniteville train derailment.
"He had to come over the railroad track to get to the house and he got caught up in it," Brown said.
Bonnie's brother Leonard Mathis is shown here struggling to breathe. It would be four months of breathing treatments three times a week after that. Bonnie says it was the chlorine that ultimately killed her brother.
"When the train collided, it took my brother, my companion, my best friend, my babysitter cause he was everything for me," Brown said.
After the train collision and then derailment, thousands were told to evacuate to the USC-Aiken decontamination site. Now one year later, Bethlehem Baptist Church is planning for the first year anniversary event.
"There will be a candlelight vigil to kick off the event starting at 6 o'clock that morning before the 11 o'clock one-year anniversary event," said Louisiana Wright, Community Coalition.
Bethlehem Baptist Pastor James Abraham says pulling together for unity and strength will help in the healing process.
"I found that as the tragedy was going on found people began to rely on one another," Abraham said.
"It's a long process, but this gathering is a part of this process," said Roland Smith, (R) SC State Representative.
And organizers of the event say the healing process continues by not forgetting Graniteville.
Local, state and federal dignitaries are invited to attend the event as well as the public. Again, the one-year anniversary event will be held January 6th starting at 6 a.m. at USC-Aiken, the decontamination site during the weeks of cleanup. It's a chance for the Graniteville community to say thank you to all of the emergency personnel and agencies who responded during the disaster.

Lopresor drug description and what Lopresor is used to treat
Now a days depression has been one of the most disabling medical condition that causes people to lost their job and even families.
The cause of depression depends on the person's ability to withstand stressful situations in life and to cope with it. Failure to cope and the persistence of the problem night lead them to psychological changes and one of these would be depression. Lexapro is an anti-depressant that is used to treat major depression and anxiety disorders.
Tell your doctor all existing and known medical conditions as well as medications being taken so that he would be able to assess if taking Lexapro is suitable to you. Prior use of any other Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors or (SSRIs) like this drug or a Monoamine oxidase inhibitor need to be cleared first in your blood stream at least for 2 weeks before taking this medication. This drug is considerably habit forming and should not be shared with other people.
Parents or family members should help in monitoring the mood and behavioral changes of the person taking this drug because they may thought of committing suicide and usually they will do it when they gain the strength and the feeling of being active to make it happen.
Most of the time the doctor will request for a regular visit or check-up for clients taking this medication in the first 12 weeks of therapy.
Drinking alcohol while using this drug is prohibited because it increases the side effects of this drug; and may impair your thinking or reflexes. Do not drive or do dangerous tasks while taking this medication.
Some forms of pain killers such as Naproxen, Advil, Nabumetone or Indomethacin may increase the likelihood of bleeding while using this medication. Asking your doctor is the best way to avoid complications and risks.

CINCINNATI -- One game from elimination, the Giants promise to fight and claw until they're done.
"And bite," Buster Posey added, after the Giants lost Game 2 of their National League Division Series.
But all that scrappiness might not matter against a Cincinnati Reds team that has promised to show up to the table Tuesday for Game 3 with a matching appetite.
"You stay hungry and humble," Reds manager Dusty Baker said Monday. "This is a resilient team, a very close team, and these guys find a way."
Baker speaks from experience. The Giants came to Cincinnati repeating the mantra that the series isn't over until it's truly over, and that's a lesson Baker learned a decade ago -- with the Giants.
Baker's Giants hammered the Anaheim Angels in Game 5 of the 2002 World Series and took a 5-0 lead into the bottom of the seventh inning of a Game 6 that finally could have brought a title to San Francisco. But the Angels stunned the Giants that night with six unanswered runs, and 24 hours later the Giants watched as the opposition celebrated a championship.
Baker, now the undisputed leader of the Reds, values the grind-it-out attitude of his team, and it's the same attitude that got the Giants through a tumultuous season.
But in two losses at AT&T Park, the Giants saw that they need to grind a little harder.
After beating up on the Houston Astros, San Diego Padres and Colorado Rockies for much of the second half, the Giants were knocked square in the mouth by one of baseball's most complete teams.
"You can tell the Reds are very locked in right now," said first baseman Brandon Belt, one of the few Giants to have contributed this postseason. "It's obviously been an adjustment. We've got to bring our intensity level up. If not, we're going to be flying home tomorrow."
While the Giants are in win-or-go-home mode, the Reds feel pressure of their own. The last time they played a postseason game at Great American Ball Park, in 2010, the Philadelphia Phillies shut out the home team to complete a three-game NLDS sweep.
Two years later, the Reds still have not completely earned back the trust of the home fans. Shortly after throwing a no-hitter last month, Game 3 starter Homer Bailey complained about lagging fan support.
"I think what everybody is witnessing with this team is pretty special," he said. "It shouldn't go overlooked."
Baker is more understanding, saying the 2010 sweep is still fresh in the minds of locals.
"They don't want to set themselves up to be disappointed," he said.
That's provided a backbone for a team that needed little help. The Reds have a deep lineup and a talented pitching staff, backed by a flame-throwing bullpen.
Game 3 starter Ryan Vogelsong said the Giants needed to change their game plan. "Obviously, I think we need to attack some people differently," Vogelsong said.
With Vogelsong, the ultimate battler, leading the way, the Giants will keep fighting. But they're not just tussling with the Reds. They're staring down history. The 2001 New York Yankees are the only team to win a division series after losing the first two games at home, but the Yankees, facing the A's, had the advantage of returning home for Game 5.
The Giants must win three straight at Great American Ball Park, where the Reds were 50-31 this season.
Can the Giants pull off the miracle?
"We still have confidence -- we have to," Belt said. "Hopefully we're the first team to do it."

This is an excerpt from EERE Network News, a weekly electronic newsletter.

Energy Department Turns Up the Heat and Power on Industrial Energy Efficiency
Katrina Pielli, senior policy advisor, Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy
Industrial processes—from petroleum refineries and paper mills to chemicals and metals industries—consume about one-third of all energy produced in the United States. While the Energy Department is investing in advanced energy-saving technologies like carbon fiber and 3D printing, we also see great potential in more traditional technologies—such as combined heat and power (CHP)—that strengthen U.S. manufacturing competitiveness, lower energy consumption, and reduce harmful emissions.
In August 2012, President Obama directed federal agencies to help facilitate investments in industrial energy efficiency, such as CHP systems, that can save manufacturers as much as $100 billion in energy costs over the next decade. The President's Executive Order established a new national goal of 40 gigawatts of new CHP capacity by 2020, which is a 50% increase from today. Meeting this goal would save American manufacturers and companies $10 billion each year, resulting in $40 to $80 billion in new capital investment in plants and facilities that would create American jobs and reduce emissions equivalent of taking 25 million cars off the road.
These efforts underscore President Obama's goal of cutting energy waste from homes and businesses in half over the next two decades and accelerating the resurgence of American manufacturing, as announced in the State of the Union last month. For the complete story, see the Energy Blog.

Playlist (12 talks): Advice to help you be a great parent
18:11Now playingThe parenting section of the bookstore is overwhelming—it's "a giant, candy-colored monument to our collective panic," as writer Jennifer Senior puts it. Why is parenthood filled with so much anxiety? Because the goal of modern, middle-class parents—to raise happy children—is so elusive. In this honest talk, she offers some kinder and more achievable aims.
18:00Now playingBruce Feiler has a radical idea: To deal with the stress of modern family life, go agile. Inspired by agile software programming, Feiler introduces family practices which encourage flexibility, bottom-up idea flow, constant feedback and accountability. One surprising feature: Kids pick their own punishments.
23:27Now playingWhat is it like to raise a child who's different from you in some fundamental way (like a prodigy, or a differently abled kid, or a criminal)? In this quietly moving talk, writer Andrew Solomon shares what he learned from talking to dozens of parents — asking them: What's the line between unconditional love and unconditional acceptance?
12:39Now playingWe're raising our girls to be perfect, and we're raising our boys to be brave, says Reshma Saujani, the founder of Girls Who Code. Saujani has taken up the charge to socialize young girls to take risks and learn to program — two skills they need to move society forward. To truly innovate, we cannot leave behind half of our population, she says. "I need each of you to tell every young woman you know to be comfortable with imperfection."
9:18Now playingAt TED U, Gever Tulley, founder of the Tinkering School, spells out 5 dangerous things you should let your kids do — and why a little danger is good for both kids and grownups.
6:17Now playingRoberto D'Angelo and Francesca Fedeli thought their baby boy Mario was healthy — until at 10 days old, they discovered he'd had a perinatal stroke. With Mario unable to control the left side of his body, they grappled with tough questions: Would he be "normal?" Could he live a full life? The poignant story of parents facing their fears — and how they turned them around.
19:52Now playingMIT researcher Deb Roy wanted to understand how his infant son learned language — so he wired up his house with videocameras to catch every moment (with exceptions) of his son's life, then parsed 90,000 hours of home video to watch "gaaaa" slowly turn into "water." Astonishing, data-rich research with deep implications for how we learn.
3:38Now playingA long time ago in New York City, Steve Addis stood on a corner holding his 1-year-old daughter in his arms; his wife snapped a photo. The image has inspired an annual father-daughter ritual, where Addis and his daughter pose for the same picture, on the same corner, each year. Addis shares 15 treasured photographs from the series, and explores why this small, repeated ritual means so much.
17:08Now playingBabble.com publishers Rufus Griscom and Alisa Volkman, in a lively tag-team, expose 4 facts that parents never, ever admit — and why they should. Funny and honest, for parents and nonparents alike.
12:53Now playingWhen Colin Stokes' 3-year-old son caught a glimpse of "Star Wars," he was instantly obsessed. But what messages did he absorb from the sci-fi classic? Stokes asks for more movies that send positive messages to boys: that cooperation is heroic, and respecting women is as manly as defeating the villain.
5:16Now playingDespite her best efforts, comedian Julia Sweeney is forced to tell a little white lie when her 8-year-old begins learning about frog reproduction — and starts to ask some very smart questions.
20:33Now playingDiagnosed with cancer, Bruce Feiler worried first about his young family. So — as he shares in this funny, rambling and ultimately thoughtful talk — he asked his closest friends to become a "council of dads," bringing their own lifetimes of wisdom to advise his twin daughters as they grow.

That would surprise me though it is not impossible.
Could you rename "ABC.mpo" to "ABC.jpg" and then actually send it to your Samsung TV to see if it is still recognized as 3D?
Could you also test if your Bluray Player also detects such a file as 3D (assuming your BD-Player can access DLNA content)?
Would you please share the results of those tests with us, along with the model numbers of your Samsung TV and BD-Player?
I would really appreciate such test results as they would shed some light on the issue. If the Bluray Player test works I might even consider buying one for myself.

On Saturday night Juan Manuel Lopez will face the man who claimed his WBO featherweight title with a devastating eighth-round knockout in his native Puerto Rico. He will also face the fans who saw the upset unfold last April at the Coliseo Ruben Rodriguez in Bayamon.
This time, Lopez (31-1, 28 knockouts) will face Orlando Salido (37-11-2, 25 KOs) at Coliseo Roberto Clemente in San Juan in yet another Showtime-televised clash.
Lopez partially blamed the loss to Salido on distractions created by his divorce from Barbara DeJesus, the mother of his five children, which had weighed on him emotionally. Lopez bounced back with second-round KO over fellow southpaw Mike Oliver last October.
Salido, meanwhile, is after his fourth consecutive stoppage victory, having fought twice since meeting Lopez to score late knockouts over Kenichi Yamaguchi and Weng Haya.
Who is going to win?
RingTV.com broached the subject with 15 boxing aficionados, the results of which are below.
Mike Coppinger, RingTV.com/USA Today
Juan Manuel Lopez late-round KO Orlando Salido: The fight is going to be very close and I see Orlando Salido taking the early rounds and possibly even dropping Juan Manuel Lopez.
But Lopez will be in better shape and more focused, and will weather the storm this time and overwhelm Saildo late to end matters.
Record: 2-0
Juan Manuel Lopez W 12 Orlando Salido: This is like boxer versus puncher. I see Orlando Salido as more of the two-handed puncher, and that Juan Manuel Lopez is a bit more skillful as a boxer. Salido got to him last time. But I think that Lopez will have learned from the last fight.
I think that his jab will be the key to the fight. I think that Lopez may have some torrid moments against Salido, but I think that he will just nick the rounds and pull off the decision.
Record: 2-0
Doug Fischer, Editor of RingTV.com
Juan Manuel Lopez W 12 Orlando Salido: I think a better conditioned, more focused and motivated Juan Manuel Lopez keeps Orlido Salido at the end of his jab and uses constant lateral movement to neutralize some of the Mexican's pressure and power punching.
Salido will still connect and occasionally rock Lopez. He's an aggressive, two-fisted boxer-puncher with great experience. But I think Lopez will also get his licks in, and may hurt or drop the defending titleholder.
The middle rounds should be good. The late rounds will be dramatic. I expect Salido to finish stronger, but Lopez will hold on for the points win.
Record: 1-1

PLEASANT HILL -- On a Tuesday evening, right on the cusp of spring, as rain swept the rooftops and streets, a group of people moved slowly, in cadence with the rain.
Students of the Taoist Tai Chi Society lifted arms like the stroke of a paintbrush, then made smooth pivots with their feet in unison as they followed instructor Sim Peyron's guidance.
His mother, Phyllis Peyron, once suffered from chronic back pain. She started practicing Tai Chi in Canada with relatives; over time, as her interest in the gentle martial art form increased, the pain in her back decreased.
"I cannot pinpoint exactly when the pain stopped. It's like all of a sudden, I don't need a pillow to use on the plane," said Phyllis Peyron. "They taught me fundamental exercises that aligned my back."
So she began to look for more Tai Chi classes in the Bay Area and found that the Taoist Tai Chi Society of the USA had classes in Palo Alto and San Francisco, but none closer. Peyron aimed to offer this form of Tai Chi in her own backyard, and with the help of instructors from San Francisco, Peyron began offering Tai Chi classes in the Kumon Learning Center in Pleasant Hill that she owns. Half of that building's space has now been designated specifically for Tai Chi classes.
On March 30, Peyron and fellow students celebrated the official opening of the Taoist Tai Chi Society of the USA's first permanent branch center in the Bay Area.
Existing branches in Palo Alto, San Francisco, Mendocino and Sonoma are rental, temporary facilities, said Alice Wong, the society's Bay Area president.
"This is the only full-time location in the San Francisco Bay Area," said Wong.
She added that while the international headquarters is in Canada, where Master Moy Lin-Shin founded the society, there are branches all over the U.S. What makes this Tai Chi different from other forms is the society's mission to make the benefits and methods available to all, as well as to promote cultural exchange and help others receive the health-improving qualities of this internal and gentle martial art, Wong said.
Cheryl Arceneaux of Walnut Creek first discovered Tai Chi in 2009.
"I'm half Chinese and half African American and I've always been interested in the martial arts," said Arceneaux. "I would see people doing Tai Chi in the park and I said, 'Maybe one day I'll try that.' Then my daughter, who was 17 at the time, suggested she'll try it with me. I was intrigued how relaxing I felt after doing Tai Chi."
Arceneaux worked a stressful job at an insurance company, and remembers being a "gym rat" working out during her lunch break then heading back to work. She tried all kinds of different regimens but nothing seemed to fit.
While Tai Chi movements are slower paced, Arceneaux said she believes it's still a great way to move the body mindfully to prevent, as well as heal, injury.
Axel Duwe of Martinez said his sister-in-law, who had been practicing Tai Chi for 17 years, introduced him to the martial art. He was thrilled to find out there was a Tai Chi center so close to home.
"It's surprisingly good for strength," said Duwe, who teaches a microbiology class at Diablo Valley College. "Tai Chi helped me empathize with students--it makes you tolerant to learning new movements. It rejuvenates you in that respect."
Duwe said a chronically-bad shoulder plagued him but after only practicing Tai Chi for months, the shoulder pain stopped.
"It's good for concentration," he said. "I can't think of a better thing to do for older people. You can modify movements. You do what you can. I've seen a person in wheelchairs doing Tai Chi. It's a really nice social activity that's why they keep coming back. It's gets people out of the house."
Students say that Tai Chi isn't just for older adults. Peyron's son Sim is an instructor and Arceneaux's young adult children practice Tai Chi.
Frances Tompkins of Martinez said she was first introduced to Tai Chi by a high school instructor 10 years ago. She's only been practicing at the new center for two months and said she's hooked.
"It seems like a good fit, the society's mission to spread the benefits of Tai Chi and make it accessible to different types of people," Tompkins said. "It's been a mindful practice for me. There are moments of stillness that bring my brain to rest and I'm thinking of Tai Chi and not thinking of 10 other things."

Any Suggestions?
Hey all,
I'm about to embark on my first wild camp with a friend, who's not a wild camp virgin but he's never chosen a route before. We're both pretty confident and are up for anything.
The plan is to get out of work early on a Friday and be in either snowdonia or the Lakes for 6.30 (we can reach either Capel Curig or Keswick by this time). I think we will then have time for a couple of hours trek to a camp spot, and then wake up and do a full day on the saturday. To return safely to our wifes for saturday night.
I'm up for any suggestions really. Thanks in advance.
Or... there's the option that's just screaming at you from this forum...
Get yourselves to Honister or Buttermere this Friday, only 30 minutes from Keswick, and walk over to Black Sail Hut at the head of Ennerdale. Look out for OutdoorsMagic's own band of hardy wild campers, then crouch at their feet and absorb some wisdom!

Nice idea Paddy but I'm afraid that I am celebrating a good friends 30th. We wont be doing this suggested camp until Friday 13th .
Thanks for all suggestions so far, all are being considered. Any suggestions for Snowdonia?
Thanks a lot guys, really helpful stuff. I think we'll be heading to snowdonia for this trip but my goal this year is to always wild camp rather than campsites, so the suggestions in the lakes will be used later in the year.
I'm interested in the bothy at Dulyn Resevoir. Does it get very busy? How equiped is it? Would you suggest taking a tent just in case?
Thanks again.
On a more positive note, from the same Eigiau parking spot there are loads of potential wild camping spaces near Dulyn, Melynllyn or in Cwm Eigiau itself, with some obvious circular routes to the Carneddau summits.
Another option is to drive to the parking spaces above Aber falls and walk up Cwm anafon - there are lots of flat spots (some sheltered within 'sheepfolds') in the valley itself near to the river or several sites at the lake, which would again give easy access to the northern Carneddau summits.
Parking near the base of Tryfan and wildcamping at either Llyn Bochlwyd or Ffynnon lloer would be another option, giving access to the Glyders or the Southern Carneddau respectively.
(Most of these are on National Trust land; fires definitely prohibited, wildcamping seemingly tolerated as long as inconspicuous but officially you should contact the landowner first........)
I think we're going for the option of Melynllyn Reservoir. It seems a pretty easy and quick walk in from the car park and nice place to wake up, then head up to the mountain shelter for breaky. It's nice to know that the bothy is there for emergencies but I dont fancy it being full of piss heads (which, i've heard elsewhere, may be the norm now).
Hoping for some good weather so we can have a full day exploring the Carneddau.
Now onto kit, hehe. I think we're sorted, and I know this has been discussed before, however I'll ask away. We're keeping it minimal and hope to stay that way (saves buyign a bigger bag)
Sleeping bag (alpkit PD400)SI Mat (Alpkit)Mini Trangia with a gas burner and small canisterWayfarer type meal eachPorridge eachInstant soup for 4Usual snack bars and nutsCoffee sachets and sugarMini Thermos flask for drinking out of and carrying coffee etc.Travel Tap (oh ooooh)2L BladderSpare HatGlovesSpare socksextra LS base layerVery thin LS Mid LayerPata Nano Puff smockWaterproofFirst Aid KitMulti ToolTorchSpare BatteriesMap + CompassPhone (GPS)Antibacterial gelCameraRUMRed Wine
I should probably add, my mate has the tent
If anyone can point out any suggestions of what I have missed out, or wont need. Although I am cutting it fine, as the plan is to use my Osprey Talon 33 and there isn't much room left. Obviously once the wine (in a plastic bottle - to scrunch up after) has been drunk and food eaten I have a little more room.
All advise, as ever, is greatly appreciated.
I'd ditch:
FlaskAlcoholSpare hatSpare batteriesFAK Spare socks unless sleep socksMulti-toolExtra base layer....then again its still cold and IME the PD400 is not that toasty...
Ditch -
Spare socks
Multi tool
Extra base layer
Extra hat
Red wine (replace it with more rum, better alcohol to weight ratio )
Include a little history in your walks. Pecsaetan - Ancient Derbyshire, Staffordshire and South Yorkshire - http://pecsaetan.weebly.com/
Cheers guys, I was in a real dilema with the FAK, its hardly ever used but......
Mutli tool, yes thats going, it was close to going anyway.
Spare hat, fair point - gone
Spare socks - I would hate to get wet feet on the walk in, but its pretty straight forward I guess. I guess they can go too.
Spare batteries, its two tiny AAA batteries, and if my torch goes.....??
The base layer is a very thin long sleeve one, however, I'm not going to wear two base layers - i sleep pretty hot so that can go.
The flask is very small, same size as a small mug, i figured it is good for coffee, wine, soup, rum, anything really, i can't go without it - I love my mini flask!!!
Alcohol is coming too, however, I feel that the red wine is easier to quaff thatn straight rum, and it's only extra weight for the walk in to the reservoir, which is about 1 1/2 hours I believe, so not too much extra weight.
Cheers guys, it helps to have extra opinions, and make me get rid of things I thought I have to take.
Personally i'd also ditch the gas burner and cannister, for meths, the coffee sachets would also go as i mix mine with powdered milk and keep it in one bag, also cuts down on rubbish, i don't use sugar, the Wayfarers would also have the outer packaging removed.
Camera?, personally i only use my phones camera.
I have been toying with going for meths, I lost my meths burner years ago, but could pinch my old mans. I always remember it being a pain but I was a kid when I used it last. Would it save me any space/weight though? I have a very small gas canister that fits in the trangia when packed up, along with the burner!
I need my camera, I'm very keen on photography and like to take good pictures, I'm also very keen to play around with some night shots, it's not too heavy and attaches to my rucksack strap to save space inside the pac.
I think i'm being silly with the travel tap also, i've drunken water many a time from streams and never had problems, I know its open for debate but I'm really unsure.
I've got a larger bladder 5L I think, will use that instead
The wine will be decanted into a plastic bottle, like a platypus but not quite as flexible, and the bottle will be scrunched up after quaffing the wine. We're not lugging a glass bottle about!
Whistle is attached to my compass, never used it though!
We wont be leaving the tent so figured a survival bag wasn't needed?

Are you stressed out? If you're like most Americans, chances are the answer is, "Heck, yeah!" Unfortunately, stress is now just a way of life for too many of us. Whether it's concerns over the uncertain economy, struggling to meet deadlines at work, handling family emergencies, dealing with relationship woes, or even tolerating daily traffic jams, there seems to be an unending parade of stressors in modern life.
Since this is National Stress Awareness Month, now's a good time to discuss the different aspects of stress, how it can help or hurt you, and the coping mechanisms that can diminish it. If you're already feeling too stressed to read the rest of this article, you really need to … so take a deep breath and read on. More...
If you're like most people, you are probably wondering, "What are essential
fatty acids?" Or, "How could something with the word 'fat' in it be good for
me?" The short answer is essential fatty acids (or EFA's) are essential because
our bodies alone cannot produce them – they must be obtained through our diet.
EFA's are long molecules that are used in the construction of the walls of our
cells, known as the cell membranes. The cell membranes are critical for both
nutritional processes and the excretion of toxic waste products. Without EFA's,
the body cannot make or repair cell membranes correctly. EFA's also regulate
bodily functions such as blood pressure, clotting, fertility, heart rate and
immunity. For these reasons, they are often referred to as "good fats".
Now that you know a little more about essential fatty acids, you may wonder,
"Are there different types of EFA's?" And if so, "What are the differences?" More...
There seems to be a lot of confusion out there as to the best sources of
omega-3 fatty acids. This article will break down the major sources of omega-3's
and give you the information you need to make educated choices.
First, there are three main types of omega-3 fatty acids: DHA, EPA and ALA.
DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (Eicosapentaenoic acid) are found in fish and
ALA (alpha-linolenic acid ) is found in plants like flaxseed. When you choose an
omega-3 source, we suggest that you select a healthy balance of all fatty acids,
but make sure you are getting enough EPA and DHA, as these fatty acids are
responsible for the majority of the health benefits of omega-3's.
This is important to remember: if a food or supplement states it is high in
omega-3, it does not necessarily mean it is high in EPA and DHA. For example,
although flaxseed oil is six times richer than most fish oils in omega-3's,
flaxseed oil contains mainly ALA, not DHA and EPA. Unfortunately, our bodies can
only convert ALA into DHA and EPA in very small amounts. Scientific studies have
revealed that fatty acids from fish or fish oil, but not flaxseed oil, benefited
patients with cardiovascular disease and ADHD. More...
These allegations should give consumers cause for grave concern. Although many
currently marketed fish oil supplements feature claims of being "treated" to remove
or reduce levels of PCB's and other toxins, many fail to accurately state the residual
levels of PCB's remaining after "treatment". This lack of disclosure leaves consumers
completely in the dark, not knowing whether or not they are ingesting high levels
of PCB's when taking their omega-3 supplement. The allegations are deeply disturbing,
as many consumers regularly take their supplements every day. More...
