Rated 4.3 out of 5Â by 20 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by rterrirogers Resin Free sheet We really like the new sheet, and plan to order another one. May 23, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Green Hills Man's best friend I purchased these sheets because my husband has very sensitive skin. We are both very happy with them and they are surprisingly soft--no need to iron. April 21, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Speech judge No more itching I'm allergic to many things including polyester. This is the second time I've ordered them. I now have two top sheets and a complete set. I am thinking about buying 2 more bottom sheets. They feel wonderful and I am getting a full nights sleep. February 23, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Evangeline Good fitted sheet! I like very much the fitted resin-free sheet. I also like, VERY MUCH, the flannel blanket/sheets. They are nice and soft and warm. I only wish they were about a foot longer because they don't have enough to tuck under well at the bottom. November 6, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5Â by Hayesbiz Nice, but not my favorite These sheets are soft, but not that cool, smooth percale I've been searching for. They are also quite large for my mattress; I don't have an extremely thick one, so the sheets get "baggy" when you sleep on them. They are good quality and if you have a thick mattress and like soft sheets, these are great. June 17, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5Â by BT1 They really do wrinkle These are great sheets, but VCS means it when they say they wrinkle. They come out of the washer really creased and even when hung on the line to dry they're still very wrinkled. I iron them while they're damp, which I don't mind, but not everyone will want to do this. I'm not sure they're enough better than plain percale sheets to justify the work they require. June 6, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by 51 year teacher New bed These sheets live up to my expectations. They are so luxurious feeling. Crisp, high quality and the price is right. I will be adding to the collection along with the 6oz. Portuguese flannel sheets. Outstanding. Our new,also luxurious and organic bed is decked out to the nines. June 4, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Belacyrf Good Sheets - Crisp and Clean Bought these sheets when looking for sheets that would be more like the sheets I had when I was a kid. Those sheets where your body slides across the sheets, didn't bunch or bead. I like cool sheets and when I get warm, I like to slide my feet to the cold spots... Thus the search for new sheets. After comparing a few sheet vendors, we settled on the Vermont Store as they were "slightly" cheaper than the alternative. The sheets worked out great, they fit well and when you pull them out of the washer you can tell immediately, these are different. The sheets do exactly what I hoped. My only issues are that these need a slightly deeper pocket and someday, somehow, somebody needs to come out with sheets like these that have COLOR!!! I have oily skin and so white sheets do not work so well for me. But in the end my wife is no longer "sweating" at night and I'm comfortable again. Looking forward to someday getting some color!

OAKLAND -- Terrelle Pryor's play during a 34-14 loss to the Denver Broncos on Sunday looked much like it had earlier this season when he was the Raiders primary quarterback: Some good, some bad, a jaw-dropping play here, a head-scratching play there, tough to assess overall.
If nothing else, the Raiders' braintrust -- coach Dennis Allen, general manager Reggie McKenzie, owner Mark Davis and offensive coordinator Greg Olson -- secured more evidence on how to proceed when it comes to the quarterback position.
That Pryor started Sunday speaks volumes, given that he started eight of Oakland's first nine games. Allen said he felt compelled to take another look at Pryor before the season ended.
Allen wasn't ready to pass judgment on Pryor's performance after the regular-season finale, which dropped the Raiders to 4-12.
"I'm going to hold off on that until I get a chance to watch the tape," Allen said.
Pryor struggled in the first half and compiled the bulk of his decent-looking stats long after the Broncos sealed the outcome.
Pryor completed 6 of 11 passes for 35 yards in the first half, by which time the Broncos led 31-0.
In the second half, Pryor went 15 of 27 for 172 yards and two touchdowns.
"Scoring twice, it made the day a little bit better," Pryor said. "Not to say that it's acceptable to lose, but you never want to score zero points."
Matt McGloin started the six games before Sunday. Allen said starting Pryor against the Broncos was not an indictment of McGloin's six-game look-see.
Pryor is under contract through next season. At this point, the starting job figures to be open among McGloin, Pryor and whomever else the Raiders acquire in the draft and through free agency.
Pryor declined to discuss his future in Oakland, saying, "Right now, I don't think this is the time or place to be (talking about that). I don't know what the future holds."
For now, Pryor said he intends to take a week off and then get back to work. He admitted that he has plenty to work on during the offseason.
"There's always room for improvement," Pryor said. " ... I would say I'm inconsistent. Period. I got to get better."
Veteran offensive lineman Khalif Barnes said Pryor made huge strides this season -- Pryor's first starting more than one game -- and that better things are on the horizon.
"He showed that he can make throws after he gets out of trouble with his feet," Barnes said. "He has made some incredible plays once he left the pocket. That gets overshadowed because of the season we had.
"The kid does have the chance to be a special player if he sharpens up his fundamentals. If he gets more consistent, he can be a dynamic player, for sure."

Tamien resident Brett Bymaster, who has spearheaded opposition to placing the school at the vacant 1.4-acre site, filed suit Wednesday against the Santa Clara County Office of Education, the county board of education and Rocketship Education.
The San Jose Unified School District filed suit Feb. 22 against the county office and the county board of education. That suit maintains that the county board does not have the authority to grant a zoning exemption -- a power it says is reserved only for school districts. The board approved the exemption in January, to allow Rocketship to build a K-5 school on the Lick Avenue parcel zoned for light industrial.
In August, the superintendents of 19 schools districts in Santa Clara County signed a letter that also argued that the county school board lacked the authority to approve the zoning exemption.

The thing about Jamal Anderson is that ESPN released a statement saying they were unsure if he was going to be an analyst for them again next year. And on Mitchell the Fed Ex package coming to Ex is pretty funny.
If an athlete does not have the strength to resist smoking pot, what is to keep them from doing steroids? The pressure to perform at an increased level in three years will be greater than the pressure of peers to do a bong hit.

hahaha what idiots. Freddy Mitchell aka Mr. Hollywood. His mouth did more talking than his game. Gave the Eagles a reason not to draft a wide receiver in the first round.
Mitchell was a train wreck. Painful to watch, bet you just had to see itg to believe it.
Mitchell claimed the cops were celebrity hunting. That pretty funny considering people have to know who you are to be a celebrity.
That is coming straight out of Cherokees mouth. He knows first hand.
you are getting smarter and smarter there bert.
I hate to break it to you but I think Brett dissed you. But if you think that was smart of him then I completely understand.
i guess sarcasim doesn't come through to well on the forums then

Listen to the Cancer.Net Podcast: Keeping a Personal Medical Record, adapted from this content.
Key Messages:
- A personal medical record combines all of the medical information collected by each facility or doctor involved in your care into a single file that is easily accessible.
- A personal record should include test results, treatment reports, and notes from each hospital, clinic, or health care provider you have visited.
- Federal law requires doctors and medical facilities to allow patients to access to their medical records.
- Hardcopy files of medical information should be kept in a safe deposit box or fireproof home safe, while online files should be password protected and backed up onto a CD, flash drive, or cloud.
Keeping track of your personal medical information is an important step in managing your care. This includes all of the test results, treatment reports, and notes written by your doctor from each office, hospital, or clinic you have visited. Although each facility keeps its own record of your medical care, it is a good idea to maintain an up-to-date personal copy as well.
Reasons to keep a personal medical record
There are several reasons to keep a personal medical record.
- Each facility or doctor involved in your care has a separate medical record for you. A personal medical record combines these separate files into a single, more complete medical record.
- A personal medical record is always available when you need it. This is especially important if you go to a new doctor or facility or if a record is lost or destroyed.
- A complete and accurate medical record gives new doctors the information they need to provide you with the best possible care, including follow-up care and management of any side effects.
- An accurate personal medical record is especially important for survivors of childhood cancer. It provides important treatment details that children may not remember later in their lives.
- Having your medical records at home gives you private time to read and understand them, which may help you feel more in control of your health care.
- A personal medical record can help you better manage health insurance claims, taxes, and other legal matters, such as disability insurance and life insurance claims. Learn more about managing the cost of cancer care.
- If your cancer comes back, details about your original diagnosis and treatment can help your doctor design a treatment plan.
- Because some types of cancer have a genetic component, which means an increased risk can be passed from parents to children, a personal record of your diagnosis and treatment may be important for relatives, such as siblings and children. Learn more about keeping track of your family cancer history.
What to include in your personal medical record
A complete personal medical record should include the following information:
- Your diagnosis, including the specific cancer type and stage. The stage describes where the cancer is located, if it has spread, and whether it is affecting other parts of the body.
- Date you were diagnosed
- Copies of diagnostic test results and pathology reports
- Complete treatment information, such as chemotherapy drug names and doses or the sites and doses of radiation therapy
- Start and end dates for all treatments
- Treatment results, including any complications or side effects
- Information about palliative care, including medications or procedures used to treat pain, nausea, or other side effects, as well as other types of care, such as occupational therapy or nutritional support
- A schedule for follow-up care
- Complete contact information for doctors and treatment centers involved in your diagnosis and treatment
The record should also contain information about other aspects of your health, such as:
- Contact information for other doctors, such as your family doctors (past and current)
- Dates and details of other major illnesses, chronic health conditions like diabetes or heart disease, and hospitalizations
- Your family medical history
- Details of past physical examinations, including cancer screening tests and immunizations
The American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) offers cancer treatment plans and summaries to help keep track of information about your cancer, cancer treatment, and follow-up care. Use these treatment plans to begin discussing your care with your doctor.
How to compile your personal medical record
If you have recently been diagnosed with cancer or are currently in treatment, the best way to compile your personal medical record is to collect information on an ongoing basis.
- When you have a diagnostic test or procedure, ask for a copy of the test results or procedure report.
- At each appointment, ask your doctor or nurse for a copy of any new information that has been added to your file or electronic medical record. You may also want to write your own notes to keep track of what happened at the appointment.
- If you spend time in a hospital, ask to take a copy of your medical record with you when you leave. Since April 2003, the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) has required doctors and medical facilities to give patients access to their medical records.
- Consider keeping a health diary or using the Cancer.Net mobile app to keep track of your symptoms and any side effects you may experience.
- Keep copies of medical bills and insurance claims.
If you have completed treatment, it is not too late to create a personal medical record.
- Contact your oncologist and ask for a written summary of your diagnosis and treatment.
- Contact your doctor's office and the medical records department of health facilities where you were treated to ask about how to get a copy of your medical records. You may need to request a copy in writing or complete an Authorization to Release Medical Information form. It may take up to six months to receive a copy of your medical records. In addition, you may be charged for the copying of medical records, but the fee is regulated by state laws.
- If you need help figuring out which records you need, ask your doctor, nurse, oncology social worker, or someone from the medical records department at your treatment facility.
- If creating a personal medical record seems like an overwhelming task, ask for help from relatives or friends. You have to sign any requests for personal medical information, but others can make phone calls and fill out forms for you. Ask other cancer survivors for advice.
Organizing and storing your personal medical record
There are different ways to organize the medical information you collect. A filing cabinet, three-ring binder, or simple desktop divider with individual folders can help you keep important information all in one place. Many people organize this information by date, but you can also divide your record into categories, such as tests, treatments, and doctor appointments. Ask other cancer survivors what worked for them, or visit an office supply store to see what types of organizers are available.
If you prefer to use a computer to keep track of your medical information, you can type up notes from your appointments or scan papers into a computer file. You may also store your personal medical record on the Internet through a number of companies that offer eHealth tools either for free or a fee. With your permission, records stored online can be accessed by family members and doctors. If you decide to digitally organize your medical information, you should print a copy of your files to take with you to doctor appointments and regularly back up your record onto a CD, removable flash drive, or cloud storage account.
However you choose to organize your personal medical record, make sure it is secure, either in a safe location, such as a safe deposit box or fireproof home safe, or by using password-protected files. If you decide to use an online service, carefully check the security and confidentiality measures the company uses to protect your medical information. You may also want to give a copy of important information to a relative or friend in case of an emergency. Get more tips for organizing medical information.

.. and perhaps thats not a bug but let me explain.
I'm running PSM as a service. (the same thing happens if it's started manually)
The computer is on.
I'm sitting in my sofa watching TV.
The PS3 is OFF.
I'm grabbing my remote, turning on the PS3 to watch a movie from the PC.
The media server is NOT found.
I now must go to the computer to restart the PMS to get it to work.
The dilemma is that when PSM does not find the PS3 (I don't always have the PS3 on) it's going off line (PS3 not found) and stays there. Should it not try to find the PS3 again, then and then?
Also in the status view when the PS3 has not been found, I can't find a refresh button, and the restart HTTP server is not lid, so I must quit the server and start it up again to get it to work.
So is this a request or a bug.

Sprint Backs Israeli LTE Accelerator
U.S. network operator Sprint is to support a Tel Aviv accelerator aimed at helping developments in the next generation of mobile technology.
Sprint is collaborating with the Israel Mobile & Media Association (IMA) on the lab specializing in LTE, which is generally marketed as "4G". The network operator says it will not drive what developers and startups do in the lab. It will, however, help them speed up their time to market.
It will be part of Israel's thriving mobile infrastructure startup culture which is increasingly focused on network optimization Cisco Systems announced last week it was buying one of those startups, Intucell, for $475 million. Sprint is joining other operators including AT&T , Orange, Telefónica and Tata DoCoMo which are involved in a variety of projects in the country, reports GigaOM.
The Sprint project, however, is specifically focused on LTE. Though Sprint didn't reveal too many details on the lab setup, it appears to be setting up a 4G test network in Tel Aviv, over which network startups can fine-tune their technology and developers can run their apps. Sprint, however, said it wouldn't attempt to dictate what the startups do in the lab. Instead, Sprint said it is just providing the tools and network frame, while the participants are free to pursue whatever field they want.
"As a complement to our efforts to unlock innovation in the United States, this Sprint-sponsored LTE acceleration lab will allow startups and developers in Israel valuable access to dramatically speed up their time to market," Sprint CTO Stephen Bye said in a statement.

Location: Crop Genetics Research Unit
Project Number: 6066-21220-012-04
Start Date: Apr 01, 2011
End Date: Dec 31, 2013
High-yielding experimental lines will be developed from exotic germplasm to expand the genetic base and accelerate the rate of yield improvement of soybean production in the U.S. This breeding project will use over 150 soybean introductions and many experimental lines derived from these introductions in past USB projects. These introductions include modern Asian varieties that are unrelated to U.S. cultivars, diverse primitive varieties that predate scientific plant breeding, and wild soybean. The number of exotic lines that we are using exceeds the total number of all the ancestral lines, regardless of the size of their contribution, of all of the current varieties grown in the U.S. Our projects are located in all major soybean-growing regions of the U.S. so that new genes for increasing yield from exotic germplasm will be accessible to soybean breeders and eventually soybean farmers in every soybean-producing state. We will also be testing exotic germplasm and lines derived from exotic germplasm in the Early Planting Production System of the mid-south to select for high yield and improved germination rates in the harvested seeds. Concurrently with developing high yielding experimental lines, we are developing sets of lines (mapping populations) that will allow us to begin the process of identifying specific genes (quantitative trait loci, QTL) from exotic germplasm that can increase yield of commercial varieties and then to confirm those QTL in independent populations.

If your liver hemangioma is small and doesn't cause any signs or symptoms, you won't need treatment. While you may be worried about leaving a liver mass untreated, in most cases a liver hemangioma will never grow and will never cause problems.
Your doctor may schedule follow-up exams to check your liver hemangioma periodically for growth if the hemangioma is large.
If a liver hemangioma grows large enough to push on nearby structures in your abdomen, it can cause signs and symptoms and may signal that you need treatment. Liver hemangioma treatment depends on your situation, such as the location and size of the hemangioma, whether you have more than one hemangioma, your overall health, and your preferences.
Treatment options may include:
Procedures to stop blood flow to the hemangioma. Without a blood supply, the hemangioma may stop growing or shrink. Two ways to stop the blood flow are tying off the main artery (hepatic artery ligation) or injecting medication into the artery to block it (arterial embolization).
The healthy liver tissue is unharmed because it can draw blood from other nearby vessels.

STANFORD -- As the North Carolina women's basketball team congregated in its locker room after being denied a trip to the Final Four by Stanford, associate head coach Andrew Calder broke down.
The Tar Heels' longtime assistant more comfortable with the X's and O's part of the game was unexpectedly thrust into an interim head coaching role when Hall of Famer Sylvia Hatchell began treatment for leukemia in October.
With Hatchell's illness in remission, she had been cleared by doctors to coach the Tar Heels in Nashville, Tenn., this weekend had her team advanced to the Final Four.
But two days after defeating No. 1 seeded South Carolina in the Sweet 16, youthful No. 4 UNC wasn't able to create a happy reunion with its recovering coach.
Calder took the loss hard. He fought back tears again while addressing the media.
"We had the talent to get to the Final Four, and I didn't get us there," Calder said as his star freshman, Diamond DeShields, comforted him. "For that I'm sorry."
DeShields said the Tar Heels' locker room was full of tears.
"As soon as you hear that little tremor in his voice, you hear everyone just begin to get emotional and really feel for him," DeShields said. "But it was a special moment, and it's something that I'll never forget. It was really important to see how much he cared."
The outcome may have been different for the Tar Heels if DeShields wasn't hobbled with knee and ankle injuries sustained in the regional semifinals two days earlier.
A game-time decision to play, the Atlantic Coast Conference Rookie of the Year and espnW's national freshman of the year started and played 39 minutes. She finished with 13 points on 5-of-15 shooting, below her team-high average of 18.1 points and her lowest output in more than a month.
"It was extremely painful in warm-ups," DeShields said, referring to an ankle she described as purple and stiff. "I was about to cry in warm-ups, but I refuse to make excuses for myself. I was just going to push through, block it out and ignore it."
DeShields got off to a slow start, picking up as many fouls as points in the first 13 minutes of the game (two). She had four points at halftime, though UNC led 36-30 thanks to Allisha Gray's hot shooting.
"They did a pretty good job on Diamond," Calder said. "But she was ... I'm not going to say injured because we're a no-excuse team, but Diamond just wasn't quite ..."
He didn't finish the sentence.
DeShields also gave credit to Stanford's Lili Thompson, who drew the defensive assignment despite standing six inches shorter than the 6-foot-1 UNC guard.
"Two back-to-back tough matchups, and she played like she's been here forever," Stanford's Mikaela Ruef said of the freshman from Mansfield, Texas.
Notre Dame's Kayla McBride and Maryland's Alyssa Thomas were also first-team selections.
Cal junior Brittany Boyd was named honorable mention.

Help is on the way for the Augusta Youth Center. The Center serves as a second home for inner city students and a place they can get help on homework and stay off the streets. The Center is broke and on the verge of having to close their doors. But News 12, UPN Augusta and Radio One radio stations answered the call for help.
It's critical that the Augusta Youth Center survives. It's hard to think about what will happen without it.
"Crime is going to go up for one thing then we have a lot of children. I'm not sure if they are going to have food in the afternoon," said Pat Jones, Augusta Youth Center Director.
Radio One Operations Manager and Program Director Ron Thomas heard the news and wanted to help.
"It's the kids that's most important to me because it's the kids that will be determining my future," Thomas said.
The Center has had to cut kids and staff from a Center that has become a second home for these kids could end up closing.
"We have food for the next two weeks but we are not able to pay anybody or anything," Jones said.
"By donating today small or large as we keep the Augusta Youth Center open," said Pastor King Cannon, Trumpet in Zion Fellowship.
News 12, UPN Augusta and Radio One stations asked for your donations.
"We greatly appreciate any change a dollar, five dollars, it does not matter how big or how small," said Isis, Foxie 103.
"We need to pay our light bill, our gas bill, our water bill," Jones said.
Currently with only $10 in the bank, each dollar adds hope. James Major owns a North Augusta Subway and he brought goodies and $100.
"It's definitely a valuable asset to the community and we should do all we can to keep it up and coming," Major said.
Family Y executives dropped by for a tour of the Center and to give a generous $500 donation.
"It's the right thing to do helping kids is what we should all be about so whatever little part we can play this is the right thing to do," said Andy McConnell, Family Y President.
Challenges went out the whole day.
"I am sending out a challenge to all the pastors in the city to please come and support and call it a ministry," Cannon said.
"My challenge is I put in $100 to every radio program director in the area to beat it or match it they always say #1, be #1 on this," Thomas said.
You can still make donations to the Augusta Youth Center by mailing checks to:

Bucs get big offensive effort to beat Tigers
Published: Tuesday, February 5, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, February 4, 2013 at 11:28 p.m.
TUSCALOOSA | The Shelton State men's basketball team used an offensive explosion to route the Marion Military Tigers 101-76 in the Umphrey Center on Monday night.
"Our offense was great all game," Shelton State head coach Barry Mohun said. "We were able to put pressure on them defensively and got a lot of dunks and layups off of that."
Shelton State (17-5 overall, 4-0 in Alabama Community College Conference) got 19 points and five rebounds from forward Travis Daniels. He left the game late in the second half with a head injury after taking an elbow to the nose. Daniels said he felt fine after the game, but will have some tests run today. He was complimentary of his team's performance.
"Our guys battled all night and every time they tried to cut into our lead, we were able to push it back up," Daniels said. "This was a great win for us and we are going to continue to build on this."
Ladarius Tabb put in 16 points and grabbed five rebounds, while guard Jacob Perry added 15 points and dished out three assists. Forward Antjuan Ball had a near double-double with nine points and 11 rebounds.
Eleven of Shelton State's 15 players scored and helped the Buccaneers with a balanced offensive effort.
"That was one of our goals tonight, getting a lot of guys involved," Mohun said. "We have a lot of fire power and we were able to show that tonight."
Marion Military (12-12, 1-5) was led by freshman forward Michael McCode's game high 20 points. Freshman guard Monta Sanford scored 11 points for the Tigers, while sophomore guard Henry Baker added 10 points.
"I thought my guys played hard, but we couldn't control the tempo and they prevailed in the end," Marion Military coach Willie Watson said. "Shelton State is a great and we knew it would take a lot for us to win. We'll learn from this one."
The Buccaneers return to action Thursday when they hit the road to face Southern Union in Wadley with tip off set for 7:30 p.m.
The Buccaneers return home Saturday, when they welcome Alabama Southern to the Umphrey Center at 7:30 p.m.
The Lady Buccaneers, who had the night off, return to action Thursday against Southern Union before returning home to face Alabama Southern on Saturday. Both games are scheduled for 5:30 p.m.

Hi guys.
I spent the last hour scourging the forums for iPad apps that work with PS3 Media server. I finally found something.
I am using PMS 1.70.1
I set the default renderer when automatic detection fails to iPad / iPhone.
I forwarded port 5001 on my host machine.
8player Lite (the free version) seems to work.
Delete/lock this thread or whatever, just let it be known that for now, 8player Lite can play .mp4 and .avi files.
EDIT: Something worth mentioning, 8player Lite will not allow you to play any files other than the first five in a given folder, so you will want your movies to be in their own directories and you may need to tediously create unnecessary directories for your episodes.

Elegant personal task management.
Task management has never been this easy. Organize your tasks in an elegant and intuitive way. Things combines powerful features with simplicity through the use of tags and its intelligent filter bar. A Leopard style source list allows for quick and easy focusing. Together with a beautiful user interface, Things aims at the seemingly impossible: making task management both easy and fun.

This is the best GTD app I've used! I love that you can create projects and categories, and view by today, next, postpone, etc. It's like someone asked me what I wanted to see in a GTD app and created Things based on my answers.
I've used every GDT app out there, and this is the one I'm sticking with ... and the one I'm willing to pay for.
I agree that the person(s) who wrote Things know how my brain works. The program is great. It needs some things--grab clips from web pages email tasks and most importantly integration with iCal todos. They should be forthcoming though.
Things truly keeps with the simplistic fashion of Apple products and I couldn't be happier. Project Management software is great for large teams but Things was developed for the individual and I think even in the private Alpha stage, they have hit the mark.
The second I downloaded it I started planning out a few projects I have at the moment and it has made my life so much easier. I've been a big fan of just writing to-do lists by hand before, this has put a whole new perspective on to-do lists and I couldn't be happier. Keep it up CC.
Well I was not used to gtd, but more and more I feel I need something to help me organize better my work. I found about this app on the scrivener forum (another absolutely wonderful app for the mac, isn't it, AmberV?), so I made some research, seeing other GTD apps... well just Omnifocus and iGTD... but Things has something that won me over the other apps. Don't know exactly what it is, perhaps the freedom it gives you in organizing your days, your priorities... the interface so easy to work with... Two days and I began to use Things at work even if on my personal macbook pro (we use a customized win application, on a crippled win system under the hood) and it seems to really help me. Oh, by the way I didn't have to read a bbok to begn using it... and this is a real plus IMHO.
Ciao, Andrea
I like this todo/gtd application most of all (and like many others, I've also tried just about all of them, for the Mac platform).
It's looking very, very, very promising and it feels like they've got everything right in this app. Although, so far, there was only one little thing that bothered me. That is, when you make a task become a project and then add a couple of sub-tasks that you must fulfill in order to finish the project; -> once you have checked off all the sub tasks, the main project task remains unfinished.
I think it should automatically become finished, as you've fulfilled all its required steps. But that's me.
I started with Actiontastic then iGTD then OmniFocus then TaskPaper and now Things. I think I've hit the sweet spot! Awesome application!
I tried iGTD and it was way too complicated and cumbersome for my needs; I've been using Taskpaper for a few months now and it's great but a little TOO simple (no due dates!).
Things is just right, mainly because it adapts to my style. Want due dates? OK. Don't want them? Fine. It's going to be the GTD app to beat.
Fantastic interface! These developers really have a good sense of how to let the user work rapidly, cleanly, and flexibly. I love that I can keyword items with one keystroke. I love that the keyword filter bar intelligently expands and contracts itself according to relevance. There are a lot of little interface touches that make this application a workflow instead of a database for actions and projects. That is important, in my opinion. The application and the methodology for getting things done should be as transparent as possible.
It is still missing some things that I need to make it an application I'd use for getting things done, but I see they are all planned for, and that is encouraging. I've been using OmniFocus for about half a year now. It is a good program, but I think Things is going to win in the end. We'll see what more than a few hours of play will tell.
I tried OmniFocus, and it's not for me. Things allows me to structure my tasks in a variety of ways (my task structure is context-dependent). I give Things a high recommendation for anyone whose tasks' details and requirements change constantly.

Living so far away from home is easier for APRIL DREW and her family because of Skype on the computer, but nothing beats a real embrace, as April, her mother and baby Colum discovered after a very special visit last week.
My mother first met her grandson the day after we came home from the hospital. Colum was a week old.
Nana Liz was overcome with emotion as she watched him sleep in my arms. She hushed me several times to hear him breathe, and paused her own dialogue during that first day to take him all in.
The only things Nana Liz couldn't do were hold, touch, smell or cuddle her new grandson.
They met over a computer program called Skype. I was introducing Colum to his nana over the Internet.
I know a lot of Irish immigrants use Skype religiously to keep in touch with family back in Ireland and consider it a Godsend. It's a free service computer to computer where people can see and hear each other. It's fantastic, and it was the first time Nana had used Skype herself.
When visiting New York last September (for the first time) Mom bought a small PC specifically for this purpose, and to date it has served her well. Thanks to modern technology we can now have chats over cups to tea together and still be 3,000 miles away.
We may not be in the same country or even the same time zone, but thanks to Skype Nana Liz and my husband's mom, Granny Mary, have been part of the various milestones in Colum's life to date.
Mom and I skyped the first night we gave Colum his bath. I placed the computer on the counter top next to the sink. Watching her grandson take to his bath like a duck to water was a memory she will cherish forever.
Nana Liz has sat through many feedings, dirty diapers, play times and cranky times. She has been able to experience Colum's first few days of smiling, and more recently his hearty chuckles when she makes a face at him or an odd sound.
In the past few weeks Colum now looks directly into the computer, throws his nana a smile when he feels like it and has full-blown conversations with her in his own words.
I've also, every now and again, asked my mother to "watch" Colum for a minute while I left the room to get something. The sound is always loud enough for me to hear her calling if there is a problem. I call her my cyber-sitter!
On occasion I've heard, "April, quick, he is spewing," and back in I run armed with baby wipes.
Although advancements in technology don't make up for having those important people present in our lives on a daily basis, it certainly makes living away from home with a child a lot easier. I'm sure thousands of immigrants would agree with me on this one.
Yes, the service isn't perfect. I may have to reboot the program several times during our conversations and am often forced to repeat myself, but with a little patience it's a service that certainly brings families together who are physically apart, and that we are very thankful for.
But nothing, and I mean nothing, can beat the real thing.
Four months to the day Colum was born Nana Liz and her partner, Granddad Mike, met the little man in person.
Another emotional meet and greet. I was, as always, late picking them up from the airport (traffic was bad), and when I finally arrived at JFK last week Liz and Mike were fighting off the jetlag while resting on some seats.
Colum was wide awake and just after a nap. As I literally ran into the airport pushing the stroller through the automatic doors I saw my mother clutching at her glasses while trying to read a text message (very technical savvy is Nana Liz). Mike had his hands folded across his chest, cool as a breeze as always and taking everything in.
In the highest pitched voice I could find (and that wasn't hard) I shouted "Hello." Naturally everyone else at the airport looked around except for the two. Louder I got with my second "Hellllllo" and finally I got the reaction I had always foreseen.
Up Nana Liz jumped and ran straight over to the stroller.
"Oh my God he is so beautiful, even more beautiful in person," she cried as she touched his little face with her warm hands.
"Oh and hello April," she bellowed, reaching across the stroller to give me a hug and a kiss.
Colum greeted his Nana with a big smile that would warm the cockles of your heart and a spontaneous flutter of his hands. It was a beautiful moment watching my own mother become jelly-like as she took her first grandchild out of his stroller and into her arms. She smothered him with butterfly kisses, and he loved every second of the attention.
"He is so much bigger in person than on the computer," she echoed time and time again.
"I just can't believe I'm actually here holding him in my arms."
After a few more minutes inside Terminal Two at JFK Nana Liz took control of the stroller and marched proudly out through the sliding doors heading for the car park.

It's man vs. Nemo, in what could be a legendary storm.
"We are going to war, and like someone once said, we are going to war with the army we have," said Robert L. Moylan Jr., commissioner of the Worcester Department of Public Works and Parks.
That army is a platoon of 400 trucks that will plow the streets of the city during the storm.
The storm, which has been named "Nemo," is expected to hit early Friday afternoon and so far has generated a lot of hype.
While many snow forecasts are hovering around a predicted 18-24 inches, some put Worcester closer to 3 feet. One model even shows a snowfall taller than a toddler – 45.8 inches.
"It doesn't make a difference if it is 24 inches or 48 inches," Mr. Moylan said. "What we have is how we are going to deal with the storm."
As of this afternoon, the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency was advising state residents to prepare for the potential blizzard that could dump 12 to 24 inches of snow – with some isolated spots getting higher amounts. The snow will be accompanied by hurricane force winds on the coast and winds as strong as 50 mph inland, which could cause widespread power outages.
MEMA advised that conditions tonight may make travel nearly impossible, with blowing and drifting snow causing zero visibility. MEMA is telling people to keep their cars in park, to allow plows to clear the roads.
Most of the plows on the road in Worcester will be operated by private contractors. Before the snow flies, residents will see other trucks on the road applying a chemical treatment. Then, as the storm intensifies, plows will be deployed as needed.
Today was all about logistics and planning.
The DPW was inspecting its equipment and making sure all the necessary materials will be on hand, assessing what staff will be available and the hours of operations, all based on what has been forecasted.
At the Massachusetts Department of Transportation, salt supplies were being replenished and 4,000 private plow contractors were hopefully catching a quick nap before heading out to clear roads across the state.
"We will definitely be ahead of the storm," said Sara Lavoie, spokeswoman for the state Highway Department. "We have the resources to stay ahead of it."
As the storm sets its sights on New England, local responders were getting ready to meet the needs during what some are calling a storm of historic proportions.
School cancellations started to roll in before noontime. School has been canceled for Friday in Worcester, Grafton, Westboro, Northbridge and the Quabbin Regional district, to name a few. See complete list of cancellations.
Northbridge Superintendent Nancy Spitulnik finished recording her school cancellation phone message around 1:30 p.m.
It was a decision that was made based on the afternoon's weather reports and information heard in a conference call with the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency.
"The latest information and plot of the storm predicts a large amount of snow, high snow drifts and gale force winds," Ms. Spitulnik said.
Ms. Spitulnik said an early release day was considered before deciding to completely cancel the school day.
"We decided to cancel the entire day because the timing of the storm was so hard to predict," Ms. Spitulnik said, adding that canceling school early also gives parents sufficient notification to plan for having their children home.
Ms. Spitulnik said canceling school is not a decision superintendents make on their own. Ms. Spitulnik said she is a part of a group of superintendents in southern Worcester County who frequently communicate via email and text messages when a storm is predicted to make a decision by consensus.
Worcester canceled school just after 3 p.m.
Worcester School Superintendent Melinda J. Boone was monitoring the forecasts before deciding to cancel school, and met with a team to discuss safety, building and facility concerns that could be faced during the storm.
In addition, weekend activities at the city schools have been canceled, and Ms. Boone said a decision when to reopen school will be made over the weekend after assessing snow removal throughout the city.
Like Worcester, staff and student safety is a priority for Westboro Public Schools, which made the decision to close after consultation with the Department of Public Works, Chief of Police Alan Gordon and superintendents in surrounding communities, said Superintendent Marianne O'Connor.
In addition, Mrs. O'Connor said a team is in place to open the high school as an emergency shelter.
"Cots are available and a custodian will be on duty if we have to open the high school for an emergency shelter," Mrs. O'Connor said. "We have water and food on site."
At the American Red Cross, disaster assessment teams, made up of volunteers, are monitoring the weather and will continue to do so and track power outages and storm damage, said Mary Nathan, regional response manager.
"We have volunteers available and always will to respond to a disaster," Ms. Nathan said. "However, we will not have volunteers on the road in the height of storm. The safety of our volunteers comes first.
"During the height of the storm, the volunteers may want to hunker down with their families, but when the roads are safe, we do have shelter trailers stocked and ready to go if a community does need to open a shelter," she continued.
Ms. Nathan advised people to be prepared to stay sheltered in place for up to three days, which means having one gallon of water per person per day; having food that does not require heat for cooking or an electric can opener; and making sure people have a sufficient supply of medications.
The other concern is fire safety.
If the power is out and space heaters are being used, Ms. Nathan said to have a 3-foot zone of empty space around the heater, making sure blankets, bedding and other flammable materials are not near the heater.
Should power remain on, people should not overload extension cords and should take precautions if using a wood stove.
Meanwhile, organizers of some events are rescheduling.
For instance, the hours of the New England Fishing Expo at the DCU Center in Worcester were adjusted, and the Daughtry and 3 Doors Down concert originally scheduled for Friday night has been rescheduled for Monday. Some ticket holders for the Daughtry and 3 Doors Down concert had been pleading with the DCU Center via Facebook posts to cancel the concert.
The snow, however, is not stalling Lt. Gov. Timothy P. Murray's scheduled trip to Santa Fe, N.M., where he will participate in the National Lieutenant Governors Association conference. Mr. Murray is chairman of the NLGA.
A spokesman said Mr. Murray will continue to be briefed on the forecast, storm preparedness efforts and the response.
"The latest information and plot of the storm predicts a large amount of snow, high snow drifts and gale-force winds," Ms. Spitulnik said.
Ms. Spitulnik said an early release day was considered before deciding to cancel the full day.
"We decided to cancel the entire day because the timing of the storm was so hard to predict," Ms. Spitulnik said, adding that canceling school early also gives parents sufficient notification to plan for having their children home.
"The storm may not start until the early afternoon, and we would want to get the children home by noon. If the timing of the storm was off, we didn't' want to be transferring the students home in dangerous conditions. And having only three hours of school is not educationally sound."
Ms. Spitulnik said canceling school is not a decision superintendents make on their own. Ms. Spitulnik said she is a part of a group of superintendents in Southern Worcester County who frequently communicate via email and text messages when a storm is predicted.
In addition to canceling school, Ms. Spitulnik said the school administration is part of the town's emergency preparedness group, and as such has to make sure the high school is ready to open if the town needs and emergency shelter.
The National Weather Service has posted blizzard warnings for much of southern New England, including Boston, Worcester and Providence, along with New York City and its suburbs, and parts of New Jersey.
The storm is expected to dump up to 2 feet of snow in places, with the heaviest amounts falling Friday night into Saturday.
The Massachusetts National Guard said it was authorized Thursday to call up 500 guardsmen to join more than 5,500 already scheduled for weekend training to assist with roadway clearing and transportation operations across the state during the storm.

AVON, Colorado - After nearly a year, the clock is starting to tick more rapidly to finish a settlement in a pair of lawsuits with the developers of the Village at Avon.
Those lawsuits - one each filed by the town and developers - date to 2009, and have cost both parties millions in legal fees. A settlement "term sheet" to end the case without going to court was signed in October of last year, just weeks before the cases were to go to trial. Since then, the town and developers have spent untold hours, and still more in legal fees, to reach a final settlement that involves a host of changes to the plan originally approved in 1998.
Earlier this year, at the urging of District Judge Thomas Moorhead, the developers and the town set an October deadline to get the deal done. Looming past October are a couple of complications.
The first is the Nov. 6 election, which will bring two, and perhaps three, new members to the Avon Town Council.
Council members Amy Phillips and Kristi Ferraro are leaving due to term limits laws. Buz Reynolds is running for re-election.
Phillips and fellow council member Chris Evans said that change makes it imperative to bring some kind of resolution to the case before those council members leave.
Evans, who was elected to the council in 2010, had previously served on the Avon Planning and Zoning Commission, so he was somewhat familiar with the details of the cases. Despite that, Evans called learning details facing the council as "drinking from a fire hose."
Phillips said getting up to speed would be even more difficult for candidates who aren't on the planning commission. And, she added, with this year' multitude of executive sessions - meetings between the council and lawyers that are closed to the public - there's simply no way a candidate can have anything like the amount of information needed to make a quick decision on the topic.
"One way or another, we have to call it to a vote by this council," Phillips said.
Beyond the need to get a vote from this council is the prospect of another trial. If the parties can't finish this settlement, Moorhead has set another trial date early next year.
"If we go back to court, nobody wins," Evans said, adding that no matter who ultimately prevails in court, the case would end up stretching for years, and would probably end up in the Colorado Supreme Court for final resolution.
Despite the hours and hours of meetings, by both the town council and planning commission, and stiff opposition from neighbors, both Phillips and Evans said they're optimistic the deal can be finalized.
"We're making good progress," Evans said. But he added, the revisions to the existing plan are ultimately the responsibility of the developers.
"It's up to them to decide what to listen to," he said.
Phillips agreed that there's been progress on the changes to the original plan, but wondered if there aren't some items that the parties may have fundamental disagreements about.
Marcus Lindholm, part of the family that's developed the Village at Avon, acknowledged that the past year has been a lot of work for everyone. But, he added, he remains confident a deal can be finished.
"We can get bogged down in details, but the reality is that we have a settlement agreement," Lindholm said. "That settlement agreement was entered into because it was beneficial to all the parties."

Park Ridge to hold topping out celebration for new facility
Published: Wednesday, July 17, 2013 at 2:59 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, July 17, 2013 at 2:59 p.m.
Park Ridge Health will hold a topping out celebration at 1 p.m. Thursday at its new South Asheville medical campus.
This ceremony marks the completion of the building's steel structure, which is located immediately off I-26 at Exit 37 on Long Shoals Road across from the entrance to Biltmore Park.
Opening in summer 2014, the medical center will house 16 primary care and specialty physicians, their medical teams and other medical services.
The building was designed by local Asheville architectural firm Bowers, Ellis & Watson. The design team focused on creating an environment to support health and healing, while using industry-leading walls and windows to insulate the building and minimize environmental impact. Stone for the building was locally quarried in Fletcher.
"When we open our doors in 2014, this will be the new medical home for thousands of patients who have already partnered with Dr. Denise Ingram, Dr. John Lang, Dr. Teresa Bradley, Dr. Leah Swann, and Dr. Ron Johnson for their ongoing health care needs," said Jason Wells, vice president for Physician Services at Park Ridge Health.
"Park Ridge Health will offer primary care and secondary care through specialties including cardiology, endocrinology, nephrology, rheumatology, neurology, and obstetrics and gynecology."
The community is invited to the brief ceremony Thursday at the construction site.

Stupidity and reality on guns
Published: Friday, June 21, 2013 at 7:46 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, June 21, 2013 at 7:46 p.m.
Many guns that have been for sale for the last 20 years, legal to purchase, owned by millions, including law enforcement, former military and civilians are under threat.
Law-abiding citizens must pay through the roof or risk losing the right to own these guns because of the actions of just a few miscreants and the views of a populace that would rather understand" the criminal, befriend a foreign aggressor and legalize narcotics.
Washington would rather focus on taking these guns away than bringing back jobs and securing our borders.
Simple reality is Americans love our firearms. We love our freedom. We do not want any U.N. treaty, nor do we want streets awash with criminals, narcotics, foreign nationals or potential home-grown terrorists.
Leave the guns and Constitution alone and put the effort where it belongs. Guns will always be there.
These other problems don't have to be.

News 12 First at Five / Wednesday, Oct. 31, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- There is a big fight between the Augusta Fire Department and Gold Cross Ambulance Service. Some are calling it a dangerous dispute that could impact your safety.
"This is bad. This is absolutely bad," said Dr. Phillip Coule, medical director for the Augusta Fire Department.
Gold Cross is asking the East Regional EMS Council to strip the Augusta Fire Department of its status as a primary provider of ambulance service in Augusta.
A war of words between the Augusta Fire Department and Gold Cross just escalated into a formal call to make Augusta Fire a "secondary zone provider."
"What does this mean for folks at home?" we asked Dr. Coule.
"What it means is less availability of ambulances," Coule said. "It is potentially dangerous."
Gold Cross claims Augusta "repeatedly failed to staff at least one of its two licensed ambulances." The fire department says it's all a smoke screen that amounts to a power grab.
"We could be sitting right there and the house two doors down could have a cardiac incident and we could not roll that ambulance out unless Gold Cross gave us permission," said Fire Chief Chris James.
That lit up the phone lines on our weekly radio segment on 96.3 KISS FM.
"The contract is horrible. It is the worst contract in the history of Augusta," said Charles Masters, president of the Augusta Firefighters Association.
He claims the contract has the city paying more than $1 million a year for service -- and there is a catch.
"It does not designate a specific number of emergency ambulances that are available for emergency calls at all times," James said.
"What about Columbia County? Are there any guaranteed ambulances?" we asked Chief James.
"They are guarantee five ambulances at all times," James replied.
The new fire chief sounded the alarm about the long-standing discrepancy.
"They are getting a little push-back, and it doesn't feel good," Masters said. "They don't like it. So what they are going to do is try to circumvent Augusta."
Chief James and Dr. Coule say they hope the public will speak out.
"Decreasing the availability of ambulances and making the city answer to the private company is just wrong," Coule said.
The East Regional EMS Council will discuss and decide action at a meeting on Thursday.
WHAT: Zoning sub-committee meeting
WHEN: 11 a.m.
WHAT: Full committee meeting
WHEN: 1 p.m.
WHERE: East Central Health District office, 1916 North Leg Road, Building D

IL069: Lights, Camera, Quack-tion
this wiki
Lights, Camera, Quack-tion (ポケモン・ザ・ムービー! Pokémon the Movie!) is the 69th episode of Pokémon: Indigo League.
During the battle of Ash and a girl he met named Katrina, the famous movie director, Cleavon Schpielbunk, goes to make a new movie about the love of two Pokémon. During the audition, Jessie's Arbok and James' Weezing have not been picked for the role. Jessie and James swear revenge and take the Pokémon, all but the star, Misty's Psyduck, who needs to act as Wigglytuff's hero in front of the camera.
Episode Plot
Ash must now focus on training for the Pokémon League. As they proceed further, a Jigglypuff is seen. Trouble is being... smelt. Ash and Misty eat some of Brock's chilly, but it is too hot. A woman arrives, so Brock goes with his flirting scheme, and in so doing, Misty pulls his ear. The woman introduces herself as Katrina who wants a battle. She sends her Raichu and they begin to battle. However, Team Rocket capture both Pokémon. Team Rocket spot that they captured Raichu only, and it electrocutes them with a Thunderbolt. Raichu uses Mega Kick, but a man stops them.
The man is amazed by the scenery, calling Team Rocket as losers. The man chants a variation of Team Rocket's own chant, although nobody seems to recognise him. Brock recognizes him as Cleavon Schpielbunk - he directed his favourite movie. Cleavon has come to get some new actors - Jessie and James immediately advertise themselves. However, they are rejected when they hear that he needs Pokémon actors only. Cleavon shows the Wigglytuff as his star of the movie. Meowth makes fun of it, but is soon slapped by Wigglytuff. Brock makes compliments of it, but is soon slapped as well. Wigglytuff leaves, so Cleavon needs some other Pokémon to be starred. Cleavon mentions that the movie will be seen by millions of people.
Pokémon are on the theatre, going for the audition. Togepi goes as well, but Misty takes it back as she thinks it is too young. Brock sends Vulpix on the audition as well. Misty sends Staryu, but Psyduck comes from its Poké Ball. The music starts, so the Pokémon need to dance to pass. Cleavon is amazed, but has decided the 7 Pokémon - Pikachu, Raichu, Arbok, Weezing, Vulpix, Psyduck and Meowth to be in the movie. Next, Cleaveon would like to hear the Pokémon sing. Jigglypuff arrives and sings, so everyone falls asleep and Jiggly puff, angered, draws on their faces. After they all removed the marks, Cleavon decides they need to sing with Wigglytuff.
Meowth says he'd like to work alone, but gets slapped. Jessie and James order Arbok and Weezing to sing alone, but they are charmed by Wigglytuff and get slapped. Cleaveon deicide to kick Meowth, Arbok and Weezing from the movie. Jessie and James are about to get into a fight, but Weezing and Arbok leave them. Every Pokémon leaves BUT Psyduck. Since Psyduck is the only one left, it gets that part, much to the gang's surprise. Misty is happy nonetheless. Cleaveon gives them a preview where Psyduck and Wigglytuff are going out for a date, but their families are furious. An arrow goes for Wigglytuff, but Psyduck comes and wounds itself by the arrow, saving Wigglytuff. Sadly, Psyduck's wound is enormous, leaving it unconscious.
Misty thinks she heard the story from before, but Brock, Katrina and Ash want to work on it. Team Rocket spot them and want to disrupt, but Arbok and Weezing are still sad when they did not get the roles. Jessie and James give lecture that they need years before they can be stars. The movie begins to be recorded, although Cleavon starts from the ending. Pidgeotto uses Gust, with Staryu's Water Gun following to get more interest. Pikachu and Raichu use Thundershock to make thunder in the sky. Both "families" begin to fight. Psyduck and Wigglytuff begin to be sad, but Wigglytuff is knocked out when Pikachu lands on ts face. Suddenly, a smoke appears!
Team Rocket appear to ruin the movie, but the Pokémon surround them and fight them. The cameraman and Cleavon himself enter the fight. Ash, Brock and Misty pose in front of the camera, but they see Team Rocket took all the Pokémon (well, except Psyduck). Psyduck begins to run in circles, while Wigglytuff asks for help. Psyduck begins to focus, using Confusion to free the Pokémon and blasting Team Rocket off. Psyduck is exhausted and Wigglytuff runs at him. Psyduck awakens and yells. Everyone cheers for Psyduck and Cleaveon stops recording, being happy for the opportunity.
Ash is sad when he did not train for the League, but is reminded that he helped to make a movie - a chance rarely someone gets. Cleaveon has an idea of a new movie where 2 trainers train to win in Pokémon League. Meanwhile, Team Rocket hang on a tree...
- "Who's he?" - Misty
- "I don't know..." - Ash
- "AAAH! All kids today care about is those crazy cartoon shows!" - Cleavon
- "Prepare for trouble! No stunt double!" - Cleavon
- "Hey, wait a second! Aren't those our lines?" - Jessie
- This is the first time that Misty pulls Brock's ear.
- The movie resembles Shakespeare's stories of Romeo and Juliette.
- Interestingly, Misty says that the story does not sound original, further referencing the story of Romeo and Julliette.
- Featured Pokémon: Snorlax
- In the Spanish version of the episode, Cleavon is called Steven Spielberg, an American Director.
Though Cleavon states he won the "Golden Growlithe" award, the statue depicts an Arcanine.

I'm looking for a (relatively) cheap 24" and these two are the only two left. (Everything else is twice as expensive here)
AFAICS the Dell suffers from blurry text (A0-A1) and banding (A0-A3) problems.
I couldn't find anything tangible about the Philips - good, or bad.
In both cases, the local rep replaces the LCD if any stuck/dead-pixels are found.
The screen will mostly be used for coding (under vi ;)) and gaming (Mostly
Oh, and I should point out that I'm rather inclined to get the Philips unit.

Heart Benefits From Cutting Back on Salt?
July 6, 2011 -- Reducing salt intake in the diet produces a small decline in blood pressure, according to a new review of research. But the evidence is not conclusive on whether salt reduction has an effect on getting cardiovascular disease or dying from it, the researchers say.
The findings are not a call to eat salt with abandon, warns researcher Rod Taylor, PhD, MSc, professor of health services research at the University of Exeter in the U.K.
The review evaluated nearly 6,500 people and is published online in the American Journal of Hypertension and the Cochrane Database ofSystematic Reviews 2011.
Taylor suspects he found no strong evidence that salt reduction lowered heart disease risk and death because the numbers studied were too small. And those studied may have lowered salt intake at first but then slid back into old habits, he says.
In the short term, up to two years after study participants were advised to reduce salt, he found a trend of reduced deaths, Taylor tells WebMD. "In the longer term, out about 10 years, that benefit disappeared. And we believe that is because people were not able to maintain that behavior."
"What this says is, giving people advice to reduce their dietary salt is not enough on its own," Taylor says.
What is needed is a multi-pronged approach, he says, including better labeling, at least in the U.K., and government help, along with more research studies looking at the link.
However, the Salt Institute sees the new findings differently. In a statement, the industry group said the new findings are reason for the government to end efforts to reduce salt intake until a benefit can be proven.
Salt and Heart Disease
Taylor's team looked at seven published studies that included nearly 6,500 participants. Some participants had normal blood pressure and some had high blood pressure. One study looked at salt restriction in people with heart failure.
Reducing salt was linked with a mild reduction in blood pressure. Systolic blood pressure decreased slightly, by about 1 to 4 points. Systolic pressure is a measure of pressure while the heart is beating. It is the top number of the reading.

When Texas A&M – Corpus Christi Baseball head coach Scott Malone and recruiting coordinator Chris Ramirez put the finishing touches on the latest class of incoming Islanders, they knew they had a special group. Turns out they are not the only ones to feel that way, as Baseball America's Aaron Fitt recently recognized the Islanders class as one of the top in the Lower Central region of the Baseball America recruiting map.
"I think it says a lot about the kids and the talent level," said Malone. "Our expectations as a staff are for these kids to come in and be an immediate part of our program.
"I think lastly, it says a lot to the job that Coach Ramirez does as our recruiting coordinator, with the help of Marty Smith. Those guys combine to do a great job of going out, finding the talent, recruiting the talent and getting some good players committed to being a part of the future of Islanders Baseball. It's going to be an exciting next couple of months as the season comes around."
The Islanders were one of just three Southland Conference teams named in the annual round up of top recruiting classes in the nation by the publication's national writer for college baseball. Newcomer Oral Roberts was also named, while Southeastern Louisiana is the only other member that played in the Southland last season to make the list.
"Any national recognition is always nice," said Ramirez. "We spend a lot of our time recruiting in the city and in the state, but we also recruit on a national level.
"Anytime we can get recognition nationally, it is always nice and helps in recruiting. It shows future recruits that we can reach out and grab some top prospects from around the country as well as the state of Texas."
Texas A&M – Corpus Christi brings in 24 new faces to compliment the returners that went to the Southland Conference Tournament for the second straight season, a first in school history. It is a mix of high school freshman and junior college transfers that the coaches will mold into the 2013 edition of the team as they continue to build the Islanders program.

SAN JOSE -- A state agency that oversees government employee rights has issued four complaints against San Jose over negotiations with its unions on a pension reform measure that voters approved in June, further frustrating the city's attempts to implement its provisions.
The action by the California Public Employment Relations Board, or PERB, means that the agency's lawyers who reviewed unfair-practice charges by city unions found they deserve a hearing before an administrative law judge.
Union representatives hailed the PERB complaints at a Tuesday news conference as affirmation of their charge that city officials engaged in sham negotiations over the pension reforms that became Measure B.
"All along, we have in fact been at the table to find legal, viable solutions," said Yolanda Cruz, president of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Local 101, the city's largest employee union. "The city refused and instead moved forward with their own proposals."
Mayor Chuck Reed dismissed the matter as a mere speed bump on a litigation road that he believes will end in upholding the pension reforms he championed. Nearly 70 percent of San Jose voters approved the measure.
"What PERB thinks about what happened is irrelevant," Reed said. "The voters have already spoken."
PERB is one of two venues where unions have challenged the city pension measure. They also have lawsuits pending in Santa Clara County Superior Court. A hearing on a union request for an injunction is scheduled later this week, and a trial date is set for June 17.
PERB staff lawyers filed the complaints on behalf of Cruz's union and three others: the San Jose Firefighters Local 230; the International Federation of Professional and Technical Engineers Local 21; and the Operating Engineers Local 3. The city must file an answer within 20 days. A settlement conference will be scheduled, and failing an agreement, the complaints will be heard by an administrative law judge. The judge's proposed decision can be appealed to the agency's board in Sacramento. The losing party can then seek judicial review by the state appellate court.
Government employee unions have found PERB a choice battleground for their efforts to block voter-approved pension reforms. The same day San Jose voters approved Measure B, San Diego voters approved a plan that puts new city hires except for police recruits on 401(k)-style retirement savings plans instead of traditional taxpayer-guaranteed pensions and freezes pay on which employee pensions are based for five years.
But a PERB administrative law judge last month ruled that San Diego failed to negotiate in good faith with the city's unions and required the city to rescind Prop. B. City officials have appealed.
San Jose spent months in negotiations with its 11 employee unions over Reed's retirement reform measure. The city modified its proposed measure repeatedly before putting it on the ballot, adding an optional reduced pension plan that employees could choose to avoid the higher costs of their current plan, reducing proposed increases in employee pension contributions and dropping a number of provisions unions opposed.
"We met endlessly, hundreds of hours," Reed said. "We just never reached an agreement."
Unions charged that city officials misled them in negotiations by citing a worst-case figure of $650 million for how high the city's yearly pension bill could reach that they said was unsubstantiated, and argued that, had the city considered their alternative proposals, the city would be reaping retirement savings now rather than fighting them in court.
"Measure B was a giant lie!" said Christopher Platten, a lawyer who represents two of the unions, including the firefighters.
City officials countered that the $650 million figure -- an off-the-cuff estimate by the former retirement director when asked during a council meeting what the worst-case cost increase could be -- was never the basis for pension reform talks.
City officials also questioned the purported savings in the union pension proposals, which they said largely affected only new hires and would allow some current workers to switch to a costly state pension plan better than what they have now with the city.
