Each week at [url=http://www.mudrunmaniac.com]Home - Mud Run Maniac - Your #1 source for mud run training and tips.[/url], I post a [URL="http://mudrunmaniac.com/category/maniac-monday-training-tips/"]Maniac Monday Workout[/URL] to help my audience train for mud run events. This one borrows from the Primal Blueprint Fitness philosophy as described at Mark's Daily Apple. The [B]Primal Playground Workout [/B]is a fun and intense series of primal exercises that includes jumping, sprinting, climbing, lifting heavy things and simulating some of the very basic movements used by our hunter-gatherer ancestors. The goal here is not to just act like "Grok," but to get outside, get some sun and expand your mud run training repertoire with a few creatively simple primal tasks.
[B]So let's get right to it!…Here's what you need:[/B]
[LIST][*]a playground with a jungle gym or swing set[*]a round heavy object, like a bowling ball, medicine ball, etc.[/LIST]
[B]To complete the Primal Playground Workout:[/B]
[B]25 Box Jumps:[/B] Box jumps help build your lower body power and develop balance and stability. Stand in front of a stable park bench or table, or something between 2 and 3 feet high. Leap up and land softly on the balls of your feet with your feet about hip-width apart. Swing your arms back then forward while you jump to help gain momentum and maintain your balance. Leap backward off the object and land in a similar position on the ground. Aim for form first, speed second.
[B]25 "Throw Your Hat Over the Fence:[/B]" The expression derives from a story in which a farmer's boy has the difficult task of disassembling a high fence. His father comes to check on him and seeing that his son's dejection, he asks, "What's wrong?" The son complains that the fence is very high and it will take him hours to get the job done. The father takes the son's hat and tosses it over the fence. Stunned, the boy demands, "Why did you throw my hat over the fence?" to which the father replies, ""Son, in order to get your hat back, you're going to have to take down a few boards. You might even take down a few more and before you know it, you're done. Or, you may take down just enough boards to get to your hat and decide that's enough for today. That's okay because you can come back to tomorrow, throw your hat over the fence, and take a few more down. Either way you'll get the job done." The moral of the story, when faced with a challenge, just toss your hat, or in this case a bowling ball, over the fence and get started! Then hop over the fence, pick up the ball and hurl it back.
[B]50 Upside Down Mountain Climbers:[/B] Just like the real thing, except your starting positing will be upside down in an inverted shoulder press position with your feet against a tree and your hands on the ground.
[B]50 Jump Lunges: [/B]A great variation of the lunge movement. Hold your weight in front of your chest, lower into a lunge position, spring up in the air and switch your feet. Repeat. As a reminder, set your form slowly, then try for speed.
[B]50 Deep Bodyweight Squats:[/B] Lower your "ass to the grass" to perform this deep squat movement. Just remember to keep your knees at about hip-width apart and focus on keeping them aiming straight ahead. This low-impact movement can be performed quite fast once you get the hang of it.
[B]15 Primal Pullups:[/B] Good ol' fashioned pullups on a swing-set. The thicker bar will work your grip strength. For a super-primal workout, leap up, swing your feet over the bar, then turn and switch your body to the opposite side of the bar before you hit your pullups. Check out my demo in the video below.
[B]25 Decline Pushups:[/B] Prop your toes up on an incline of about 1 1/2 – 2 feet and hit your best and fastest pushups.
[B]200 Yards Throw and Chase:[/B] Just like it sounds…take your ball and give it a two-handed underhand hurl as far and high as you can. Sprint after it, pick it up and hurl it again. Continue for about one hundred yards, turn around and do it all over again.
Want more? Climb a tree!
[B]Bonus challenge:[/B] Repeat entire cycle for time. Complete while wearing a weighted vest. Add in your own exercises such as climbing up and over monkey bars, jump-tuck-and-roll off a park bench or table, bear crawl up a slide, high jump over a tennis court net…be creative!
I'd love to know what you think! What kind of primal movements do you incorporate into your mud run training?

DUNCANSVILLE - The president of North American Communications said Tuesday the business won't be affected by two former company executives pleading guilty to filing false tax returns.
Michael Herman of Hollidaysburg, the founder and one-time president of the company, failed to report $9,873,745 in taxable income for 2007 and 2008, resulting in a loss of $655,934 in income tax to the Internal Revenue Service, according to the U.S. Justice Department.
Also pleading guilty to falsifying his tax returns in 2007 and 2008, leaving out $4,787,222 in taxable income, was former company executive Robert Paltrow of Palm Beach, Fla. Paltrow's filing shorted the IRS $798,969.
"Yesterday, Mike Herman and Bob Paltrow pleaded guilty to underreporting their income to the Internal Revenue Service for 2007 and 2008. They owe back taxes as a result. While we acknowledge their history of service to the company, we want to make clear that this case is strictly limited to the personal income tax returns of these two individuals, neither of whom have been involved in the management of the company for years. North American Communications cooperated fully with the government in its investigation, and these charges do not involve the company in any way; nor will they have any impact on the company's operations now or in the future," President Rob Herman - Michael's son - said in a statement.
U.S. District Judge Kim R. Gibson will sentence Michael Herman and Paltrow at 10 a.m. Sept. 30.
North American Communications, an international direct marketing firm, announced earlier this month the company would add 100 new jobs through 2014 after already adding nearly 60 jobs since September.

A two‐fluid model for hematocrit distribution in microvascular networks16(1989); http://dx.doi.org/10.1118/1.596341View Description Hide Description
A new theoretical network model for evaluating discharge hematocrits, explicitly based on plasma skimming at branches, is introduced. The particular network geometry chosen simulates bat wing microvasculature. Blood in vessels is approximated to be a two fluid with red cell suspension as the core and a plasma layer surrounding it. The plasma layer width depends on hematocrit, which leads to nonlinear hydrodynamicequations solved by iteration. Discharge hematocrit distributions are calculated by a computer for five generations of vessels. Dispersion of hematocrit values was found to be correlated to plasma skimming at branches. Contrary to previous suggestions, plasma skimming did not result in lowered mean hematocrit towards the capillaries. Network structure was found to be an important factor affecting the hematocrits. Mean discharge hematocrit remained steady against changes in vessel dimensions, capillary resistances, red cell concentration in plasma layer, and shape of the separationsurface defining the streamlines entering the side branch. This high stable mean hematocrit is based on symmetry of the model network. Enhanced asymmetry tended to lower the hematocrit.
Spatial light distribution in tumors: Phantom measurements16(1989); http://dx.doi.org/10.1118/1.596342View Description Hide Description
The optical characteristics of 39 excised human tumors are determined. Then liquid phantoms, representative of these tumors, are used to measure the space irradiance in a plane containing the optical axis for two irradiation geometries (external and interstitial) and two wavelengths (514 and 630 nm); a rotating miniature probe allows a spatial resolution of 0.1 mm. It is found that, on the optical axis, the space irradiance at the surface of a phantom is higher than the irradiance applied externally and exhibits a maximum prior to reaching an exponential decrease. A zone where green light is expected to provide better photochemical efficiency than red light is determined and the space irradiances obtained with external and interstitial irradiation are compared quantitatively. The clinical usefulness of the results is limited by the fact that individual samples belonging to the same type of tumor differ considerably in their optical characteristics, at least unless a more detailed classification (based on a greater number of tumor samples) is available.
Characterization of transmitted motion in fetal lung: Quantitative analysis16(1989); http://dx.doi.org/10.1118/1.596441View Description Hide Description
A simple two‐dimensional analytic model is evaluated for transmitted cardiac motion in fetal lung. The model treats the latter as being an incompressible viscoelastic medium. The mean radial deformation in an elastic medium is demonstrated to depend on a length parameter , where μ, ρ, and ω corespond to elastic shear modulus, mass density, and frequency of cardiac motion, respectively. Digitized M‐mode images are demonstrated as a feasible method to measure such deformationsi n v i v o. Data for two patients are presented to illustrate the technique.
Detection of pion‐induced radioactivity by autoradiography and positron emission tomography (PET)16(1989); http://dx.doi.org/10.1118/1.596426View Description Hide Description
An autoradiographic technique incorporating a new imagingsystem was used to detect pion‐induced radioactivity in Plexiglass and the results were compared with aluminium activation and PETimaging. The activity distribution in the region of the pion‐stopping peak was similar in all three cases. Another large signal in the entrance region due to in‐flight interactions [1 2C(π−,π−n)1 1C] was detected by autoradiography and by PET but was not reflected in the aluminium activation measurements. This new technique is capable of defining the stopping region in phantoms with a better resolution than PET scanning and is useful as a complementary technique to other methods of piondosimetry.
Compensation for beam intensity fluctuation in determination of P ion, the ion‐recombination correction factor for ionization chambers, by the two‐voltage technique16(1989); http://dx.doi.org/10.1118/1.596343View Description Hide Description
We have developed a method of compensation for fluctuations in beam intensity that may occur during measurement of P ion, the ion‐recombination correction factor, by the two‐voltage technique. The method requires signals proportional to beam intensity during measurement. We used a parallel‐plate ionization chamber, whose P ion was known, and a vacuum chamber to obtain signals that were proportional to the beam intensity. Experiments were conducted using pulsed proton beam providing doses that ranged from 0.16 to 0.01 cGy/pulse. The value of P ion of a thimble ionization chamber was measured. With these measurements, the validity of the method which we proposed for pulsed beam was verified experimentally.
Optimization of the wedge filter parameters for a radiotherapy treatment planning system16(1989); http://dx.doi.org/10.1118/1.596344View Description Hide Description
When a treatment planning system uses an empirical or semianalytical approach to describe the influence of a wedge filter on a photon beam, a number of experimentally determined parameters are required. These may be found from direct measurement. However, if the beam model is sensitive to the parameters, it will be necessary to optimize the parameter values to obtain better correspondence between dose profiles calculated by the model and actual measured profiles. The procedure is time consuming if optimization is done manually. We have developed an optimization scheme, using a personal computer, to find the set of wedge parameters which will result in the best fit of calculated wedge profiles (using the beam model of the treatment planning system) to measured wedge profiles. The procedure is efficient and calculated profiles were found to match measured profiles to within 2% of the central axis value.
The use of variable grid spacing to accelerate dose calculations16(1989); http://dx.doi.org/10.1118/1.596425View Description Hide Description
Planning radiation therapy using three‐dimensional patient data is a very time consuming process with current hardware and software. When calculating a three‐dimensional dose distribution, the standard technique is to cover the volume of interest with a uniformly spaced matrix of points at which the dose is calculated. It is obvious that the dose is usually quite slowly varying in a large proportion of the region of interest; namely, in those regions which are either well inside or well outside the geometrical boundaries of the field. We have developed an algorithm which allows us to reduce the number of calculation points, and hence the time of calculation of the entire dose distribution, manyfold. We use a nonuniform grid of calculated points, based on the fact that the only regions which are troublesome for accurate doseinterpolation are those in which large values of the second derivative of the dose as a function of position occur. We demonstrate that, at most grid points, the dose can be determined without decreasing accuracy below acceptable limits by simple linear interpolation between grid points much further apart than is usual in conventional techniques. We investigated our algorithm for one‐, two‐, and three‐dimensional examples and for Co‐60, 25‐MV photon, and 160‐MV proton beams. In situations for which an accuracy of about 1% in dose and 1.6 mm in position was desired, we found gain factors for the number of points needing direct calculation of approximately 3 (one‐dimension), 6 to 10 (two‐dimensions) and 16 (three‐dimensions).
Backscatter dose perturbation at high atomic number interfaces in megavoltage photon beams16(1989); http://dx.doi.org/10.1118/1.596345View Description Hide Description
Most computer algorithms used clinically for photonbeamtreatment planning are unable to predict the effect of electron backscattering on dose distribution from high atomic number materials. It has been observed that there is a significant dose enhancement at such an interface. We define the dose enhancement in terms of backscatter dose factor (BSDF), which depends on the energy of the photonbeam, thickness and width of the inhomogeneity, distance from the interface, and the atomic number of the inhomogeneity. For all energies studied, the dose fall‐off is initially very rapid and disappears beyond a few millimeters upstream from the interface. Empirically derived equations are presented for dose calculation at the interfaces of various media, including bone and soft tissue, for photon energies in the range of Co‐60 gamma rays to 24 MV x rays.
Interface dosimetry for I‐125 sources16(1989); http://dx.doi.org/10.1118/1.596346View Description Hide Description
Use of I‐125 in breast implants may be therapeutically beneficial due to the 40% higher dose to the tumor relative to the normal adipose tissue. The dose distribution in the interface between adipose and nonadipose tissues is studied with mathematical models and radiobiological measurements. The dose transition zone is narrow, about 10μ, which is roughly the diameter of a cell. The dimension of the transition zone is weakly sensitive to the geometry of the interface. In most geometries, cells on either side of the interface receive doses that are significantly different (25%–35%). Radiobiological measurements are consistent with calculated results, providing a check on the theoretical model.
Preliminary validation of the opposing view method for quantitative gamma camera imaging16(1989); http://dx.doi.org/10.1118/1.596347View Description Hide Description
We perform gamma cameraimaging to generate data for estimation of internal radiation dose in our radioimmunotherapy candidates. Because of the inability of single photon emission computed tomography(SPECT) to account for patient attenuation variability without serious error, quantitative planar imaging was performed to estimate the radioactive content of normal organs. We undertook the following studies to further validate this method. A realistic fillable human phantom was used to determine the accuracy of I‐131 filled organ estimation. A transmission scan of the unfilled phantom was produced with an I‐131 filled flat flood source. Anterior and posterior planar images of the filled organs were acquired with region of interest determination of the activity in the organ. Correction by the attenuation factor and a cameracalibration factor yielded the MBq in the organ. The procedure was also performed in a simple phantom. Three dogs were imaged and sacrificed to validate the technique i n v i v o. A high degree of accuracy in estimation of organ radioactive content was found to be present using the phantom and dog models. Use of this method requires further validation but provides a solid basis for estimation of internal radiationdosimetry in radioimmunotherapy planning.
Constrained reconstruction: A superresolution, optimal signal‐to‐noise alternative to the Fourier transform in magnetic resonance imaging16(1989); http://dx.doi.org/10.1118/1.596427View Description Hide Description
Many problems in physics involve imaging objects with high spatial frequency content in a limited amount of time. The limitation of available experimental data leads to the infamous problem of diffraction limited data which manifests itself by causing ringing in the image. This ringing is due to the interference phenomena in optics and is known as the Gibbs phenomenon in engineering. Present tehniques to cope with this problem include filtering and regularization schemes based on minimum norm or maximum entropy constraints. In this paper, a new technique based on object modeling and estimation is developed to achieve superresolutionreconstruction from partial Fourier transform data. The nonlinear parameters of the object model are obtained using the singular value decomposition (SVD)‐based all‐pole model framework, and the linear parameters are determined using a standard least squares estimation method. This technique is capable, in principle, of unlimited resolution and is robust with respect to Gaussian white noiseperturbation to the measured data and with respect to systematic modeling errors. Reconstruction results from simulated data and real magnetic resonance data are presented to illustrate the performance of the proposed method.
An optimal synthetic aperture for circular tomosynthesis16(1989); http://dx.doi.org/10.1118/1.596348View Description Hide Description
In circular tomosynthesis obtained from a sufficient number of radiographs with projection directions forming a single cone, object detail at a distance from the plane of interest is blurred according to the zero order Bessel function. The main lobe of this window function defines slice thickness, while its ringing side lobes are undesirable because they permit further outlying structures to ''leak'' through. Using the orthogonality of Bessel functions, a sampling scheme consisting of multiple, concentric projection cones was designed to synthesize by a finite Fourier‐Bessel series a slice window with superior side lobe suppression. The window that concentrates the most ''energy'' within a finite slice, and can be realized by a limited number of sampling cones, is the zero order circular prolate spheroidal function. Its application to tomosynthesis of 3 mm thick slices with a characteristic detail size of 0.5 mm, concentrated 95% of the total series expansion to only 3 concentric circular scans, yielding a theoretical suppression of the first side lobe of −38 dB, to be compared to −8 dB achieved with the Bessel function. Experimental implementation of this optimal sampling scheme using 3, 8, and 14 projection views, distributed over cones with opening half‐anges of 1.92, 4.39, and 6.88°, respectively, resulted in a side‐lobe attenuation of at least −20 dB. This attenuation reduced significantly artifacts arising from out‐of‐plane detail of high spatial frequency (e.g., edges) in tomosynthetic images of clinical interest in dentistry.
Probability of causation for cancers potentially induced by ionizing radiation16(1989); http://dx.doi.org/10.1118/1.596349View Description Hide Description
Prompted by increasing litigation claiming cancer induction from exposure to radiation from nuclear weapons tests, the United States Congress enacted an amendment to the Orphan Drug Act (Public Law 97‐414, January 4, 1983), through which the National Institutes of Health was directed to and did produce Probability of Causation (PC) Tables. This review defines PC and discusses the data, limitations, and uses of the concept.
Comparison between continuous and discrete sources in the Paris system of implants16(1989); http://dx.doi.org/10.1118/1.596350View Description Hide Description
Since the Paris system of interstitial brachytherapy is based on iridium wires, the consequences resulting from the substitution of discrete point sources in afterloading ribbons have been analyzed. The results are presented in this article for single ribbons, single plane implants of thicknesses 0.5 and 1.0 cm, and biplanar implants of both equal and unequal areas of sizes most frequently used clinically in the thickness range 1.5–3.0 cm. These results indicate changes in the quality of implants using wires and point sources up to the maximum spacing of 1.5 cm. The quality of the implants is judged on the basis of a parameter, the uniformity index, which takes into account both the size of the treatment volume for a given target volume and the homogeneity within the treatment volume as determined from the integral dose. Other implant parameters such as total activity, treatment volume, total volume receiving greater than twice the stated dose rate, average dose rate, and variation of basal dose rate, etc., are also provided to indicate quality of the implants. The results with the customary seed spacing of 1 cm are compatible with those using wires and are found to have improved quality in many cases.
A video‐based patient contour acquisition system for the design of radiotherapy compensators16(1989); http://dx.doi.org/10.1118/1.596351View Description Hide Description
Recent advances in computer and video technology have enabled significant advances in the field of surface topographymeasurement. This paper will describe a digital video patient contour acquisition system for the design of radiotherapy beam compensators. The system is mounted on a tray which slides into the collimator of a radiotherapy simulator. The tray holds a source which projects a 1‐mm wide fan beam of light along the simulator beam axis onto the patient. The tray also holds a small solid state video camera which views the projected line of light on the patient surface. Video images are digitized and processed on an 80386 based IBM PC‐compatible computer. Transverse contours are obtained from one digitized video image or, in case of opposed fields, from two or more image frames taken at different gantry angles. Entire surfaces are measured by scanning the bed longitudinally and acquiring a number of transverse contours. Posterior surfaces are obtained by scanning a mold. A printer produces a template for making the compensator from sheet lead.

What happens if you are stopped by a police officer? That would be my primary concern, but that's just me.
Well, open carry is not illegal in CT. I work armed security and on my way home I take my pistol out of it's holster and put it between the seat and center console to my right. I do this because my pistol is nearly inaccessible while seated wearing a duty belt. If I am on a longer car ride wearing my duty belt, I usually don't wear it. And instead place it on the seat. Pistol still goes in the same spot.
If I get pulled over I turn on my dome lights, hands on the steering wheel, window down and wait for the officers instructions. I may look like a "good guy" but I'd hope any halfway decent officer would still be cautious. If they do not notice the pistol or say anything and ask for my ID or anything else, I like to make them aware of the pistols presence for my own safety.
I'll even inform whilst carrying concealed, as my wallet and pistol are on the same side. I don't want a backup officer seeing a gun as I reach for my wallet and get filled with holes.

I think I can rig the same thing up from one of my spare holsters and parts from my junk bin.
I normally pocket carry, so when I get into my car, I shove the pocket holster between the seat and center console. It keeps the gun secure, accessible, and out of primary view. I keep my forms clipped to my visor, so my hand never goes anywhere near it.
we are not amused

U.K. media regulator starts consultation
LONDON — U.K. regulator Ofcom has invited submissions to inform its examination of methods to measure media plurality in the wake of the controversy over News Corp.'s abortive attempt to own paybox BSkyB outright.
The watchdog has given interested parties until Nov. 18 to respond.
Move comes after media minister Jeremy Hunt said last month that he wanted Ofcom to assess how practical it would be to set limits on U.K. media ownership.
Ofcom said that questions for comment include:
• What are the options for measuring media plurality across platforms?
• Is it practical or advisable to set absolute limits on news market share?
• What could trigger a review of plurality in the absence of a merger?
• And how might this be monitored and by whom?
It also wants to hear comments on whether the examination of media plurality should include the BBC, a point certain to be of interest to News Corp., given the BBC's pole position in broadcast news consumption in the U.K.
The regulator's findings will be given as evidence to the Leveson Inquiry into media ethics, set up by British Prime Minister David Cameron following the summer's revelations about the News of the World phone hacking and police corruption scandal.
Media plurality is notoriously hard to measure with any degree of precision, but in order to protect media plurality it was agreed between News Corp. and U.K. policy makers that news web Sky News would be hived off as a condition of the Murdoch-owned company having 100% ownership of BSkyB.
But that deal was derailed by public opinion when the extent of illegal phone tapping at the Murdoch-owned tabloid emerged in July.

Good saturated dark red. Expressive aromas of black cherry, violet, coffee and minerals. Sweet, dense and spicy, showcasing rich, ripe red and dark fruit flavors complicated by hints of coffee and underbrush. Finishes with mounting but polished tannins and impressive length. This wine should age very well: I'd give it a couple years in the cellar and then enjoy it for another 20 after that. From a parcel of densely planted vines that comes from clones developed by the French nursery Guillaume, which yield a slightly bigger wine that the estate ages in new oak.

Hey. Just wondering why windows 7 ultimate is worth so much more than home premium. The only differences I know is that ultimate supports up to 192 gb ram and has neat little microsoft applications and requires higher specs to run but for a gaming pc would ultimate be better? If so, why?
Also, what other general advantages are there to ultimate?
Thanks in advance

This is a big week: I'm finally giving birth. No, no freakish medical experiments, but rather the closest a guy can cometo childbirth, the publication of a book that's been years in the gestation. Apologies for the impersonal approach, but I wanted to let everyone know that "Something in the Air: Radio, Rock and the Revolution that Shaped a Generation," my history of radio from the time TV came along to the present, is out this week. It's the story of how radio responded when a new technology emerged that threatened the very existence of Old Media, and it's the tale of how Americans who grew up in the 1950s, 60s and 70s used the music and the deejays as the soundtrack of rebellion, counterculture and generational change.You can buy the book from Amazon here:
I've put a bunch of audio clips of radio sounds from those decades on a site about the book, www.marcfisher.com, where you can also (this promotional biz knows no bounds) buy the book.
But most of all, I just wanted to let folks know that I may finally have gotten my decades-long obsession with radio out of my system. The reviews have been terrific so far, and I'm spending most of my waking hours on the radio, talking to Debbie and Doug on the St. Louis Total Information Morning Show and Bob Edwards on XM and on and on. But the most valuable publicity comes from friends who talk about the book, and so I just wanted to let you know it's out there.
All the best,

Product name : Hydrolyzed Glycosaminoglycans
Characteristics and Application :
Hydrolyzed means that the substance has been split into another compound by reacting with water. Glycosaminoglycans (GAGS) are an important component in connective tissue. They are located mainly on the surface of cells or in the extracellular matrix (component of body tissue that functions outside the cells). GAGS act as a lubricating fluid in the joints and influence cell growth. When applied to the skin, Hydrolyzed Glycosaminoglycans act as a moisturizing and conditioning agent.
Hydrolyzed Glycosaminoglycans are widely used in skin care products and cosmetics because of their ability to bind with water efficiently and increase depth hydration, improving the elasticity and firmness of the skin. They are easily accepted into the skin because of their positive charge, and can moisturize the skin, as well as improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by temporarily minimizing the depth of wrinkles on skin.
Use :
Hydrolyzed Glycosaminoglycans has reported used in the following product types: foundation; other products with spf; anti-aging; facial moisturizer/treatment; lipstick; around-eye cream; hair relaxer; sunscreen spf 15 and above; conditioner moisturizer.
Safety Measures :
Hydrolyzed Glycosaminoglycans are considered a safe ingredient in beauty products and no warnings were found regarding its use.

Berkeley Springs - Health screenings to assess one's risk of a heart attack are offered four times a year at Valley Health War Memorial Hospital. The last screenings for 2012 are Thursday from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m.
For a $20 fee, participants can get screened for the following: total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, total cholesterol/HDL ratio, triglycerides, blood sugar, blood pressure and body weight/body mass index (BMI).
War Memorial Education Director Paul Cooper said, "The Heart Attack Risk Screening program has been around for a long time. For a finger stick, you can find out about the fat, cholesterol and sugar in the blood. And nurses can take blood pressure in both arms, check weight and body mass index and other factors that can determine the risk of heart disease.
He said the numbers can tell the nurse what's going on, and it can be explained to the participant in plain language.
"The blood sugar can determine a pre-diabetic or diabetic. Many people don't know if they are pre-diabetic or diabetic or not. They're walking around and have no idea."
He said triglycerides are the fat in the blood. They're created by the liver. They can be elevated in a diabetic person.
"That's just as important to know as cholesterol," he said.
He explained the confusion people sometimes have about cholesterol. Cholesterol is a great risk indicator. There needs to be a balance between the good, or HDL cholesterol, and bad, or LDL. If bad cholesterol is too high, it gels inside the lining of the arteries and helps build up plaque. This leads to clots.
Cooper said, "Everyone needs some cholesterol to transport hormones and build cell walls. The liver produces cholesterol. We get the most that we take in from animal products. But we can get some from other foods. The total cholesterol/HDL ratio can predict the risk of heart disease. It's better to have a low ratio. When we try to change the numbers, we can do that in lots of ways. Some things we can't change, like heredity. But changing eating habits and exercising can raise the good cholesterol and lower the bad."
High blood pressure is the silent killer, causing strokes or congestive heart failure. The heart has to work twice as hard. There are no definite symptoms until it goes very high.
Diabetes goes along with obesity. As one's weight increases, the chance for diabetes increases along with the risk of heart attacks and other problems associated with it.
Cooper said one screening is the waist circumference. They take the waist circumference and multiply it by two. That number should be less than a person's height.
"It's a huge predictor for heart disease," he said. "We use it in cardiac rehab. It's more accurate than some other factors."
Not only is the screening a quick test, but it's also an educational consultation. Heart attacks often can be prevented with education and diet or lifestyle change. The more a person knows, and can do preventative maintenance, the better off he or she will be.
Screening takes about 20 minutes. Participants must fast 12 hours prior to an appointment. But they can have water, black coffee or tea without sugar or creamer. Morning medications can be taken as usual.

Efficiency in a Matching Model with Heterogeneous Agents: Too Many Good or Bad Jobs?
Maite Blázquez
Universidad Carlos III de Madrid
Marcel Jansen
Universidad Carlos III de Madrid - Department of Economics; Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA)
December 2003
IZA Discussion Paper No. 968
This paper analyses the efficiency of the equilibrium allocation in a matching model with two types of workers and jobs. The basic assumption is that high-skill workers can perform both skilled and unskilled jobs, while low-skill workers can only perform unskilled jobs. Our first result shows that the equilibrium with ex-post bargaining is never efficient. Second, under Hosios' (1990) condition we show that high-skill workers are under-valued in equilibrium, while the opposite holds for low-skill workers. Firms therefore tend to create too few unskilled jobs, resulting in a suboptimally high unemployment rate for low-skill workers. We show that these results generalize to environments with more types of agents and different production technologies. Finally, in an extension we derive a tax scheme that restores efficiency and we show how workers' bargaining strength affects unemployment and skill-mismatch.

Voriconazole, an antifungal agent frequently used in systemic fungal infections, has been implicated in phototoxicity and photoaging.1 Chronic voriconazole phototoxicity and accelerated photoaging may contribute to the development of melanoma and squamous cell carcinoma.1,2 We describe the development of multiple lentigines and atypical melanocytic lesions in a dark-skinned man receiving long-term voriconazole therapy.
A man in his 40s with mixed African American and white race/ethnicity, Fitzpatrick skin type IV, and history of pulmonary sarcoidosis and secondary pulmonary aspergillomas presented for a follow-up dermatologic examination. Unremarkable findings from a skin examination had been noted 3 years previously. The patient returned for dermatologic examination and was noted to have new hyperpigmented lesions on his forearms that were present for a few months. At the time, the patient had been receiving voriconazole, 200 mg twice daily, for 32 months for treatment of his fungal disease. In addition, the patient had a history of long-term prednisone use (varying doses of up to 60 mg/d) since 2008 to manage his pulmonary sarcoidosis. Because of progressively deteriorating pulmonary function and intermittent, worsening hemoptysis, an evaluation for lung transplant was initiated.
The patient had no history of atypical melanocytic lesions, and there was no family history of melanoma. The patient reported sun exposure with no history of increased occupational exposure or sunburns.
Physical examination revealed numerous hyperpigmented macules clinically consistent with lentigines on his face, with darker and multicolored macules on his sun-exposed forearms (Figure 1A). Other signs of chronic sun exposure were absent. Biopsies of the most clinically suspicious hyperpigmented lesions were obtained and were remarkable for epidermal hyperplasia with pigmentation along the basal layer consistent with a lentiginous growth pattern. The largest, darkest lentiginous macule (Figure 1B) demonstrated single atypical melanocytes crowding in the lower epidermal layers without exhibiting a normal nesting pattern (Figure 2), while other lesions had moderate cytologic atypia (not shown). The atypical lesions were excised, and the patient was counseled on appropriate sun protection measures and self–skin examination, with close dermatologic follow-up.
New onset growth of lentigines on the forearms of a man with mixed African American and white race/ethnicity (A) with an irregularly pigmented macule that was biopsied (B).
A, Histopathologic analysis of the irregularly pigmented macule demonstrated single-cell growth of melanocytes along the dermal-epidermal junction among a lentiginous background (hematoxylin-eosin, original magnification ×200). B, MART-1 staining highlights the increased growth of predominantly single melanocytes (original magnification ×200).
Voriconazole inhibits fungal 14 α-demethylase, a cytochrome p450 enzyme essential to ergosterol biosynthesis of fungal cell membranes and is first-line therapy for the treatment of invasive aspergillosis.3 It has multiple cutaneous adverse effects, including UV-A photosensitivity manifesting as erythema, blistering, pruritus, cheilosis, eczema, and lentigo formation.3
The mechanism for voriconazole-induced photosensitivity and phototoxicity remains unknown. One current hypothesis includes a potentially phototoxic UV-B–absorbing N-oxide metabolite of voriconazole.4 Alternatively, inhibition of CYP450 with voriconazole therapy is thought to possibly increase serum retinol level, a known photosensitizer.5
Malignant skin conditions associated with chronic voriconazole use, including melanoma in situ and squamous cell carcinoma, have been reported in patients with Fitzpatrick skin types III or below and more commonly in individuals with some degree of immune compromise.1,2 More recently, the development of lentigines in a dark-skinned patient receiving long-term voriconazole therapy was described.6 Our patient is similar in the abrupt development of lentigines and photodamage characterized by mild poikiloderma but differs from the prior report owing to the severe melanocytic atypia observed.
Cutaneous adverse effects of long-term voriconazole therapy are not only burdensome but also lead to morbidity and mortality. Product labeling recommends discontinuation of voriconazole therapy if a squamous cell carcinoma or melanoma develops,1,2 which can lead to adverse outcomes if alternative antifungal therapies are limited. In addition, for patients awaiting transplant, the development of a melanoma also could compromise the ability to receive an organ donation.
This report highlights the development of atypical melanocytic lesions in a dark-skinned individual receiving concurrent voriconazole and immunosuppression therapy and reinforces the importance of counseling patients on appropriate sun protection and sun avoidance. These patients, regardless of skin type, require frequent dermatologic follow-up and surveillance with a low threshold for biopsy of atypical lesions.

Anthotypes - labratin' it. :D3
I read the LabRat Challenge on the competitions section and was inspired to have a go at Anthotyping.
Its really a pretty easy way to make a photogram, and kind of therapeutic in a weird sort of way, it also appeals to the experimentalist in me.
I used Tulip Petals, Vodka and Tap Water to make my emulsion, I added the water just because I only had very expensive Vodka, and I didn't want to use lots of it. I liquidised mine, then strained it though an old piece of fabric. There were Red/Orange, Yellow and Purple tulips and I made individual colour emulsions of each. I soaked heavy cotton rag paper in each solution then put it out in the sun with a leaf/object on top and then covered in a sheet of glass.
The Yellow Petal emulsion had the best colour before exposed, but didn't come up so well after 8 hours of full sun, unlike the Purple petal emulsion, which looked a very pale grey before exposure and then went Green/Blue, and stronger once exposed.
I didn't bother to dry my papers before I exposed them either, which has caused a pleasing coloured water mark around the edge of the paper, though I am not sure how this affected the anthotype process itself. I have also made some more sheets out of 'goldenball' shrub flowers, a very yellow flower, and have left then to dry in the dark, and I'll see how well they work tomorrow.
Im thinking about raiding the local superstore for cheap flowers to see what other colours I can go for :D

Last weekend I saw one of the best movies ever; "Lincoln."
Growing up on films, I used to be quite the celluloid connoisseur, attending every Saturday as a kid, every weekend as a teen and every time I could as an adult. We still watch a lot of films but in my dotage and what with DVDs and a flat screen TV, Jim and I now enjoy most of them at home. But "Lincoln" is one you should see first in a theater. It's that large.
A quintet of family members saw it last weekend and discussed it during a post theater dinner. Our son-in-law Todd, who called the film "fabulous" and is probably the best read of us all – especially in history – shared an important film insight. He just began "Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln," by Doris Kearns Goodwin, about the 16th president's efforts to pass the 13th Amendment abolishing slavery. She is a Pulitzer Prize winning biographer and historian. The film uses this work as one primary source of the story. Goodwin, says Todd, describes Lincoln as walking with an uneven gait and at close quarters possessing a glint in the eye that was often used to underscore his reputation as a raconteur. Academy Award winning actor Daniel Day-Lewis, in the title role, obviously studied Goodwin.
Todd's mother, Dorrie, a mellow 91, thought the movie "very wonderful" and "the shortest two and half hours she'd ever spent in a theater" and "a movie you just didn't want to end."
Our daughter Cathy said she was mesmerized by Daniel Day-Lewis' interpretation of Lincoln and found herself leaning forward to hear his every word.
Jim, who usually doesn't care for what he calls "talkie movies," found the most startling part for him was that "there were no 'weak sisters' involved in that project." How right he was. The movie is directed by the master, Steven Spielberg, whose work here is understated and tight, leaving room for the actors to shine. And do they ever, beginning with the star whom I think gives method acting its best name and who definitely channeled Lincoln as many reviewers noted. Joining in the stellar troupe are Sally Field, David Strathairn, Hal Holbrook and Tommy Lee Jones.
Academy Award winner Field plays Mary Todd Lincoln, referred to as "Molly" by her husband in much of the film. She does an uncanny job of physically and dramatically portraying both the humanity and the fragility of an extremely complex woman. David Strathairn, Academy Award nominee, is Secretary of State William H. Seward and is wonderful balancing his role of friend, critic, skeptic and loyal enacting arm of the president.
Hal Holbrook, longtime television and screen actor who once won an Emmy portraying Lincoln, is right on the money as an important Republican trying to arrange a peace between the North and South. And then there's Tommy Lee Jones, Academy Award winner and still a man in black in this film. He is often an irascible character and in this work plays that role once again as a radical Republican who "excoriated him (Lincoln) on the floor of the House" for arranging to meet with a Confederate peace delegation.
Finally, the haunting movie music is done by composer John Williams, another Academy Award winner.
Even though this movie is a "talkie" there is plenty of sharp and raucous political action. Todd says in "John Adams," a biography by David McCollough, the author points out that politicians behaved that same way in our second president's time as well as 100 years later in Lincoln's. (And how about now, 148 years after that?)
If you haven't already done so, do go see "Lincoln." It's the best of the best and there's something in it for everyone to savor.

Pulse oximeter is a nonintrusive medical device used to measure the oxygen level of a patient. Beams of infrared light determine the saturation of oxygen carried by the hemoglobin of the blood. Hemoglobin is a component found in blood that transports oxygen to cells throughout the body. The oxygen saturation of the arteries is measured using the symbol SPO2. Oxygen levels can be monitored either constantly or intermittently. Pulse oximeters can detect sudden and critical changes in oxygen levels before symptoms and other signs in blood manifest.
When using finger pulse oximeters, choose a finger where the probe will be placed. The index finger is commonly used for the device, but any finger will work as long as it is clean and uncontaminated. Remove all nail polish and other cosmetics from the fingernail before using it, as well as artificial nails.
Clip the probe of the finger pulse oximeter onto the finger, over the nail bed. Attaching the probe is very similar to attaching a clothes pin. Make sure that the probe snugly fits over the fingers and no signs of pain can be felt upon clipping it on. If it does not comfortably fit on the finger, choose another one.
Then, turn the device on. Allow the oximeter to calibrate and run itself to a series of tests. After the device has configured itself, observe how strong the pulse signal is. If the current finger with the probe is indicating a poor or no signal at all, which is often a sign of a weak pulse, poor blood circulation or simply cold hands, put the probe to another finger. Look at the monitor in order to see the percentage of the oxygen saturation of blood. You have to bear in mind that normal saturation level ranges between ninety five and one hundred percent. Levels of bloody oxygenation vary greatly, depending on the overall health of the patient using it. If the percentage drops below ninety percent, consult medical assistance immediately.
After using it, clean the finger pulse oximeter using the provided cleaning supplies that come along with the package, especially if it is used for more than one patient. You could also use alcohol or disinfectant solution for cleaning it. Remember to clean the device and the probe, most especially if it has been used for quite a long time.
We are national recognized as Pulse Oximeter Top Vendor, with clients in all 50 U.S. states as well as Internationally in Canada.

|Here are some details about my project:
Share a little about the materials, processes and techniques used to create this piece. Graphite pencils on cartridge paper, using marks rather than lines.
Landscapes are not my preferred subject so I was surprised how much I enjoyed this project. It was quite liberating to hold the pencil with a different grip to make marks using the side of the pencil. I was quite pleased with the results.
Lesson 4: I have used the Albertian Veil for the bridge itself but I don't understand how to use it to get the right angle for the steps up to the bridge. I also don't know how to ensure that the bridge supports are at the right distance from each other, or the right width, to reinforce the sense of space.
Hello LifeSparkle, Congratulations on depicting a lovely woodsy scene with a finely drawn bridge. Considering the drawing with you statement that landscapes are not you preferred subject you may need to revise that thought! Pleased to read that changing the grip of the stylus had useful and pleasing results. There is so much to drawing that we often forget about the fundamentals, for example stylus grip, which can be of importance. As regards the Albertian Veil and analyzing angles, remember that the Albertian Veil is for the big planes: principally the ground plane, although it can be used for the smaller elements. For something like the bridge steps, it is best if you use the measure stick. Review that lesson. One more concern is the tonal structure. The foreground is convincing and you have a complete range of values indicating changes of or in planes, forms, chroma, and fabric [flora, wood, water, etc.]. The tonal structure is less certain once the eye reaches the bridge.
[criticism continued] The tones diminish too quickly indicating a much larger distance than is indicated. Considering not working on this drawing but trying to resolve that in your next assignment. All-in-all, a fine drawing, with much improvement from the previous assignment. [How did the border affect your working method?] I look forward to seeing the post of your next drawing.

U.S. Sen. Bob Casey Jr. finally got his chance to ask the tough questions to the top military commanders and diplomat in Iraq.
He had been critical of the Bush administration's Iraq war strategy for well over a year and complained during last year's campaign that Rick Santorum was not "asking the tough questions."
So you might expect that Casey would hit Gen. David Petraeus, the top U.S. commander in Iraq, and U.S. Ambassador Ryan Crocker, with toughies about whether the military surge was working, how long additional troops would be needed or when they think the Iraqi government will ever get its act together.
"He didn't offer any kind of characterization of the surge," Casey told Pennsylvania reporters during a conference call from Iraq of his briefing with Petraeus.
(Reposting from yesterday, here's the video we recorded of Casey and U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., being interviewed by CNN Wednesday morning.)
Even as he later broke bread with Petraeus and Crocker over dinner, Casey didn't press those issues.
"The ambassador didn't give a sense of how he sees things from the political side," said Casey.
Of course, he said, "It's accurate to say they would agree with me that we are not satisfied with where Iraq is politically."
The two-day trip that concludes today broke Casey's Iraq cherry. He was one of about two-dozen senators who hadn't visited Iraq. Fellow U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., has been to Iraq three times - in 2005, 1999 and 1998, and met with former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein after the Iran-Iraq war.
While he called the trip with U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., "eye opening," it didn't do much to change Casey's opinion on the war. It "confirms the conclusions I reached months ago," he said, later adding that he's really keeping an open mind.
But then again, Casey went back and forth on how things are going in Iraq.
As critical as he was of the war, he said, "You can make the argument that we won the war."
That would seem like good news and even reason to keep troops there, right?
Asked his own view on the surge progress, Casey said: "No way can you make a judgment on the surge after a daylong visit."
That didn't stop him or Durbin from going on CNN only a few hours after arriving in the country and saying that the president's Iraq strategy needed to change.
Most of Casey's criticism was aimed at the lack of political progress by the Iraqi government.
"Patience is wearing thin," he said he told top Iraqi leaders.
The trip was a real eye opener for Casey, who knew he wasn't in Scranton anymore as he whipped over Baghdad in a helicopter. Doing his best to remind us of Michael Dukakis in a tank, Casey regaled us about what it was like wearing heavy body armor and a helmet and flying in a helicopter with no windows and opened in the back.
It was a "helicopter that looked like it was from Vietnam," said the Senate Foreign Relations Committee member, who couldn't believe how windy it was. "I had no idea it would be that kind of force," he said.
Later, he marveled at the pre-packaged MRE's soldiers often eat when away from bases or areas like the restaurants and cafeterias built in the safe Green Zone.
Eating lunch with about 10 soldiers, Casey said he had the beef stew, which was a lot like Dinty Moore Beef Stew. Only he had to puncture the canister in three places and it heated all by itself "without a microwave."
"I was kind of fascinated with that. I had never seen that before," he said.

As I've already mentioned on my previous posts, the girls and I had a sleepover at my place last Friday and these photos were the result of our "time" together.
Since I am currently inspired by Black Swan, I added a touch of "darkness" in the way I edited these photos. I like them beautiful-yet-sort-of-creepy, oh yes I do.
