U.S. Stroke Deaths Fell 30% Over Past Decade
By Robert Preidt
HealthDay Reporter
TUESDAY, Dec. 3, 2013 (HealthDay News) -- Stroke deaths in the United States have been dropping for more than 100 years and have declined 30 percent in the past 11 years, a new report reveals.
Sometimes called a brain attack, stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability.
Stroke, however, has slipped from the third-leading cause of death in the United States to the fourth-leading cause. This, and a similar decline in heart disease, is one of the 10 great public-health achievements of the 20th century, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Even so, there is still more to be done, said George Howard, a professor of biostatistics in the School of Public Health at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB).
Howard is co-author of a scientific statement describing the factors influencing the decline in stroke deaths. The statement is scheduled for publication in the journal Stroke.
"Stroke has been declining since 1900, and this could be a result of changes leading to fewer people having a stroke or because people are less likely to die after they have a stroke," Howard said in a university news release. "Nobody really knows why, but several things seem to be contributing to fewer deaths from stroke."
It is possible that the most important reason for the decline is the success in lowering Americans' blood pressure, which is the biggest stroke risk factor, he said. Other reasons for the decline may include reductions in smoking, improved cholesterol levels and better treatments for stroke patients.
"We don't know how much all of the sources are contributing," Howard said. "Certainly, we want it to keep going down. But if we don't understand why the numbers are decreasing, we can't work toward that trend."
Howard said the 30 percent decline in stroke deaths in the last 11 years is "a big deal, so you could argue that our battle is won. But I think [there's still] a lot to be accomplished in this area."
Dr. Andrei Alexandrov, a professor of neurology and director of the UAB Comprehensive Stroke Center, said the decrease in stroke deaths "likely is attributable not only to better ... blood pressure control over recent years, but also to a greater number of neurological specialists focused on stroke care across many hospitals in the United States and abroad."

COLUMBIA — A new law allows South Carolina's virtual education program to expand opportunities for middle- and high-school students statewide while saving districts money, its director said Wednesday.
The law signed by Gov. Nikki Haley last month, following unanimous votes in the House and Senate, removed the program's caps. Students had been limited to three credit hours yearly and 12 total toward a high school diploma.
"Now they're freed up to take additional courses," said Bradley Mitchell, the agency's virtual education director. "It frees them up to take elective courses or different courses they may not be able to get through their high school."
The program was created in 2006-07 as a way to help students who have fallen behind to graduate and to increase access for students in rural schools. But while the increasingly popular program offered advanced courses, its primary focus has been credit recovery, giving students who failed a course needed for a diploma another chance to pass.
Last school year, the program served nearly 12,500 students in eighth through 12th grades — more than doubling in five years — and 93 percent of those passed with at least a D, according to the state agency.
Mitchell briefed the state Education Board's innovation subcommittee about the program Wednesday.
"I'm all for it," said board member Michael Brenan. "We need a variety of ways to reach our students if we're serious about educating them and getting them career-ready and college-ready."
Changes in the coming school year include more middle school offerings, additional honors-level high school courses, and increased partnerships with school districts.
Schools facing difficulties hiring certified teachers can offer courses in a "blended" setting, with students being taught online while sitting at a desk in their traditional school. Schools can pay the agency $3,500 for an entire classroom to take a virtual course — far less than the cost of a teacher. The agency added that option last year and expects such arrangements to increase, especially for advanced and elective courses not economically feasible for rural schools to offer.
"Looking at hard-to-staff schools and hard-to-staff subject areas, with the caps gone, we have a program that really can be tailored to the needs of every school district," said agency spokesman Jay Ragley.
This fall, districts will also be able to "franchise" — offer online classes taught by district teachers with software and curriculum purchased from the state — enabling them to align online courses with their own school-year calendars. The fees for the pilot are not yet set, Ragley said.
The program is also extending into the elementary grades in 2013-14. About 10,000 third- through sixth-graders are expected to take an online keyboarding class.
"As the state moves more to online testing, there's a need for schools to have keyboarding at the lower grades, but districts can't provide teachers for that," Mitchell said.
State law still bars students from earning a diploma through the program, which is available to public school, private school and home-schooled students on a first-come, first-served basis.

Dallas court documents in Oak Lawn home invasion robbery case
"Moses Coppin is a habitual violent criminal," a Dallas police officer wrote in requesting a high bond for the home invasion robbery suspect. Two magistrates set Coppin's bond at a relatively high $300,000.
The convicted felon and sex offender still managed to post the bond and was released from the Dallas County Jail within days of his November 3 arrest.
Here are court documents in the Coppin case.

Over the Counter Killer
It's Cheap, It's Legal, and It's Available at Any Drugstore. DXM, a Cough Medicine Ingredient, Is the Latest Craze for Teens Who Want to Get High—or Die Trying
The Frarys soon learned the cause of their son's death: Jon had overdosed on dextromethorphan (DXM), an over-the-counter cough suppressant. Although his family never knew him to use drugs, the day after Jon's body was found, a friend revealed that the pair had been buying DXM legally on the Internet for months and experimenting with it for its hallucinogenic properties. The two young men had even exchanged audiotapes describing their visions. "In Jon's mind, because it was legal, it had to be safe," says Greg. "He made a mistake."
It's a potentially lethal error that scores of young people have been increasingly making. Although Frary had ingested a pure form of DXM, users typically induce a zombie-like state called "dexing" or "robotripping" by ingesting drugstore medications such as Robitussin cough syrup or Coricidin cold tablets, known among users as red devils, triple-C's or skittles (the red pills, resembling candy, bear three C's). A number of Web sites even list the dosages, based on body weight, that a user needs to take to attain a high similar to that caused by PCP. Taking DXM in large quantities causes slurred speech, high blood pressure, loss of motor control or far worse (see box, page 51). "It can lead to seizures, coma and even death," say Charles Nozicka, director of pediatric emergency medicine at St. Alexius Medical Center in Hoffman Estates, III, who sees as many as 30 DXM overdoses a year. Taken in large amounts, adds Nozicka, the drug can change the body's metabolism and possibly become addictive.
In 2003, U.S. poison-control centers received 3,271 calls—twice the number as three years earlier—related to teen use of DXM in pockets seemingly spread randomly around the country. In the past two years at least five deaths have been attributed to cough medications. Concerned parents in some communities have convinced pharmacies to take the popular products off the shelves and put them behind the counter, but in most places there's no such deterrent. "I don't think parents are acutely aware [of the risk]," says Andrea Barthwell of the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy. "They tear families apart, they crush dreams."
Case in point: Jennifer Darling, a quiet girl who liked in-line skating and bicycling and had ascended the ranks of her Altamonte Springs, Fla., high school ROTC unit to become squad leader. "We didn't see a lot of signals saying here was someone getting off track," says Darvin Boothe, principal of Lake Brantley High School, where Jennifer was a senior. Though her father, Jim, 49, had overheard Jennifer, 18, talking to friends about getting high on cough medication, he and his wife Jill, 39, weren't overly concerned. Since the cough medications were sold over-the-counter, the Darlings assumed that they were harmless. "We thought, 'No big deal, so she's taking cough medicine,' " he says. " 'She won't be coughing, that's for sure.' "
But on the morning of Dec. 16,2002, Jill awoke to find Jennifer dead on her bathroom floor. When police found red pills in her bedroom, Jim called one of his daughter's friends, who admitted Jennifer had recently taken Coricidin to get a DXM high. "It was surreal," says Jill. "It absolutely didn't make any sense." According to the autopsy, Jennifer had an undetected heart condition that was exacerbated by high levels of chlorpheniramine, a key ingredient in the medication. By ingesting enough of the drug to get high, Jennifer had inadvertently triggered a lethal heart failure. (Cough medicine overdoses can also cause fatal liver damage.) "We never had any clue that this stuff could be deadly," says her father.
Nor, perhaps, did Cory Coleman, 14, a high school freshman in the affluent Denver suburb of Highlands Ranch, Colo., who took Coricidin while partying with other teens last April. Police say that after telling pals that the drug was "starting to kick in," Coleman attempted to cross a four-lane highway to buy more pills at a nearby supermarket. He died after being struck by two cars. A toxicology report revealed high levels of DXM. "He told his friends the drug made him feel numb and altered his visual perception," says Colorado State Patrol Sgt. Donald Enloe, who adds that the drug appeals to many kids because they can hide its use more easily than LSD and Ecstasy, which dilate the pupils. "Most other drugs have an effect we can see," says Enloe. "They can take [DXM] and parents will never know."
Jon Frary's parents never caught on to what their son was doing secretly in the last months of his life, though he'd spent the entire summer at home, working for a landscaper. A natural athlete who loved tennis, he'd spent two years at the Air Force Academy before opting out of the military. He hoped to move to Los Angeles to pursue a movie career. "He was a fun, outgoing kid," says his mother, Linda. "Everyone liked being around him." His girlfriend Liz Kocol, 22, says he'd told her about experimenting with cough syrup in December 2002 and "something else you could buy on the Internet" last April. After she pleaded with him to stop using, he'd dumped out a bottle in front of her, pledging not to try it again.
But he did. According to a police report, officers who discovered Jon's body believed he "plugged his ears and covered his eyes for sensory deprivation, to increase the effect of DXM." They also found a notebook detailing his previous robotripping experiences. "Usually you have the opportunity to learn from your mistakes," says Jeremy Foster, 23, a longtime friend. "Jon didn't get that opportunity."
Despite the dangers posed by DXM, there are few obstacles for teens intent on abusing it, since the medications that contain it are perfectly legal. Pure DXM—not classified as a narcotic—is uncontrolled by the government, and, of course, products such as Coricidin are useful medications used responsibly by millions. Mary-Fran Faraji, a spokeswoman for Coricidin's manufacturer, Schering-Plough, says the company has put the product in larger packages to make it more difficult to steal off the shelves, but she adds that DXM is available in 125 different products. "The problem is not just the substance, but the behavior," she says, "behavior that parents ought to be monitoring." Jennifer Darling's father agrees. "By telling our story, I just hope we can stop other parents, other siblings, other friends, from having to go through the grief we had to go through," he says, "because of something as stupid as getting high."

I will never understand why we give money to people that are known to be in this country illegally. If I do something against the law, it costs me money, it doesn't make me money. This country is under a crushing debt. Yet for some reason money is given to people that admit they are breaking our laws. This makes no sense to me at all. But because a few people that run a few businesses will make a few dollars from it. All of us tax payers and future natural born American job seekers will pay through the teeth.
dobiedear 3 years, 6 months ago
We don't need to educate them, send them back to their home country.
Allen Hischke 3 years, 6 months ago
We don't need to educate them, feed them, cure them, birth their too many babies, clothe them, or anything else. When people break the law they should be put in jail, if they are illegal immigrants, they should be put to work at hard labor. If Americans that are out of work won't take the jobs that are left behind then their unemployment benefits will be forfeited.
ChristineRoberts 3 years, 6 months ago
They are taking tuition assistance from our veterans and active duty soldiers and they want to give assistance to illegals! Really?!?
Allen Hischke 3 years, 6 months ago
Not only from soldiers, but from natural born American students whose families need this type of help to educate their children.
j4mom7 3 years, 6 months ago
If you're here illegally, no...you get nothing. You want the benefits of this country, learn the language, follow the rules and become a citizen, just like the rest of us. Otherwise, go home. Not only vets and active-duty soldiers but ordinary Americans have to pay tuition, and my state tax dollar pays for it for illegals??? I don't think so! Not just "no", but "hell no"!!!!!
Allen Hischke 3 years, 6 months ago
To all those that feel as the people posting their opinions here. Call, email, or write your elected officials and tell them that you are opposed to this. That is the only way you will have a voice.
juju 3 years, 6 months ago
This bill "allows in-state tuition for illegal immigrants who attend a public or private high school in Colorado for at least three years immediately preceding graduation or completion of a GED in the state and who are admitted to a Colorado college."
When we educate one student, we educate us all. I wholeheartedly support the passage of this bill.
ChristineRoberts 3 years, 6 months ago
When you educate one illegal you are taking that money and opportunity from a legal citizen, veteran or an active duty soldier. If they aren't here by legal means they should NOT be afforded any rights or privileges that rightfully should be given to legal citizens. This includes welfare benefits, medical treatment, and any other government sponsored programs.
Allen Hischke 3 years, 6 months ago
I think juju should pay the entire cost of this bill, including what the legislators keep for themselves as a bonus for doing such a miserable job. I know students that attended schools here for 12+ years and no one passed a bill to give them free tuition. Seems way one sided to me. More freebies for those that shouldn't be here to begin with.
juju 3 years, 6 months ago
Would you honestly deny medical services? Even in the case of an emergency?
Allen Hischke 3 years, 6 months ago
To a person that should not even be in this country at all. Yes.
ChristineRoberts 3 years, 6 months ago
If they were being treated for an honest emergency, no. But that's not always the case, which drives the cost of medical care up for people that live here legally. And there should be no such thing as anchor babies, coming here and having their children and getting government assistance also takes away from honest citizens. If they want to live and work here they should apply for citizenship in the proper way, not sneak over and then suck the system dry.
Jason Phillips 3 years, 6 months ago
Kids shouldn't be punished for their parents decisions. I support the bill.
Allen Hischke 3 years, 6 months ago
Tell them to take their kids back to where they came from and they won't be punished. The bill sucks!!

Greetings all from the land of seven sweets and seven sours--where the rule is one must have both potatoes AND noodles on the dinner table--and the PA Dutch bakeries are found in their finest form! I, personally, live halfway between the locations of the Hershey Corporation (yes, the chocolate mogul) and a Mars candy plant that produces Butterfingers and Dove chocolates. You can, quite literally, smell the chocolate in the air!
And still, in the name of improved health, I am able to forego all the tasties and temptations. Thankfully, bacon also (being its own food group in my opinion) is served up and welcome aplenty! We have excellent butchers out this way!! And a great real food contingent--you can drive right up to a lot of farms to get real meat, real milk, real eggs and real produce.
And now about me: I am a type 2 diabetic 21 years now. Normally at the age I was diagnosed (19) a person is a Type 1. But I am not. After MANY years of denial, flip flop diets, and utter failure (with complications having developed with nerve damage and cataracts) I am absolutely off my rocker excited about finding PB! I am about two months in and remain excited that it is only going to get better and better. Heck, maybe even find the love of my life who also groks!
I watched diabetes kill off my older brother and my mother--both way too young for death--and I am desiring to escape the same fate. One edge I have over both of them is that I spend my time researching what natural substances (herbs, vitamins, and therapies) are beneficial to managing the disease, and employ them. Neither of them did. I take the bare minimum of insulin to keep my blood sugar in target range. I am doing some yoga and Pilates. I visit the chiropractor. And I have been low-carb in one form or another for some years (aside from those inevitable burn outs that happen). Both of them refused to let food be their medicine. I'm working up to a refined exercise program in line with PB. Thanks to my efforts, I am still quite youthful and other areas of my health are ok.
It's all about me now. It's all about getting the most I can get out of this life. And, quite frankly, it's all about BACON!! (lol) I guess that's my basic story--a little about myself and my motivation. It's just one little piece of the incredibly intricate puzzle of this thing called "me". I look forward to getting to know more friends here--and sharing more of my gifts and treasures also.
Much love to you all,
Patti :-)

For a moment, we ask you to role play with us. Imagine that you are a pediatrician in private practice working alone or with a partner. You encounter the following problems one morning: (1) During a routine precamp physical examination you discover that an 8-year-old boy is having serious problems in school. (2) A 10-year-old girl's asthma cleared up while living with an aunt only to become severe again now that she has returned home. (3) A surgeon advises you that an 18-month-old boy should be hospitalized for a hernia repair. (4) You learn that the mother of three children who are your patients has developed a rapidly progressive malignant neoplasm. (5) You hear a murmur in a child who is not thriving and suspect he may need heart surgery.
Given these situations, how would you choose to deal with them?
Some of you may decide to treat only those

Even though President Barack Obama launched the $787 billion stimulus bill to bring the economy out of the recession, Americans now feel that it did not help.
A new Gallup Poll finds that most Americans do not think the stimulus bill helped.
57 percent of those polled said it had no impact on the economy or made it worse.
And 60 percent said they doubt it will help the economy in the years ahead.
A majority of economists now say the downturn in the economy is ending, even though only a little of the stimulus money has been spent. "This is a wake-up call for the administration." said House Minority Whip Eric Cantor R-Va. "People see the stimulus hasn't worked, and now you want to lay on over $1 trillion in a health care plan."
Meanwhile, the stock market may be headed for its first serious correction in more than a month, after world markets dropped sharply on Monday.

Selena Gomez Wasn't Punched in the Face: Is it a Cold Sore? (PHOTOS)Sunny Chanel
Let's clear this up, Selena Gomez was not punched in the face by a rabid Justin Bieber fan, although many of them would undoubtedly like to take a swing at the woman who stole their man. This rumor was started because it appeared that Selena was hiding something on her lip, conclusions were made that she had was from kind of cat fight. But after looking at the photos closely, this does not appear to be a fat lip. This, my friends, looks your run of the mill cold sore. Now, we should mention something about cold sores…
Herpes Simplex (what causes cold sores) is extremely common. Studies say that a shocking 50% to 80% of the adult population of the United States has the virus. And most people contract it when they are just children, but the virus can stay dormant for a long time. So with it being so common, it's actually surprising that we don't see more celebrities out and about with the occasional cold sore. Especially since they lead such high stress lives (and stress can be a trigger).
In Selena Gomez's case, she has been in the spotlight lately since her and Justin Bieber are being open about their relationship. But one thing many a Bieber fan is probably very concerned about? Did he kiss her during it's contagious stage? But now him flipping off the photographers makes a lot more sense, he was just protecting his lady.

MEDIA — Creating a children's picture book is a little like casting a feature movie, according to author and illustrator Emily Arnold McCully.
The author and illustrator must put together an interesting drama that draws the reader into what otherwise is simply a flat page, she said. The secret is to create a visual world the reader enters just by looking at a single page.
"Children know stories long before they can read. . . . Story is central to life," said McCully, who won a 1993 Caldecott Medal for her book Mirette on a High Wire.

Hi! My name is Sasha
I am Domestic Mediumhair from Pocatello, ID
Nicknames: Kitten and Little Girl
Age: 8 years old
Gender: F
Coat: long haired
Education: I'm proud of her sweetness. She wakes me up in the morning by purring and cuddling up to my face. She kneads me and licks my nose.
My favorite tricks and treats are: Sasha doesn't like treats and she snubs soft cat food. She's only interested in her cat food.
Where I hang out: She likes to sit on the cat tree that we have on our window seat upstairs in the office and look out at the world.
My favorite grubs: She eats Science Diet Kitten food.
My pet peeves: Sasha holds a grudge against the cone she had to wear after getting spayed.
What I love about my owners: "I love my Mommy because she rescued me and treats me like a queen. She even calls me Feline Perfection."
My cat hobbies: Sasha's favorite thing in the world to do is play with her buddy, the big cat, Dobby. They are best friends.
Pet motto: "Of all God's creatures, there is only one that cannot be made slave of the leash. That one is the cat. If man could be crossed with the cat it would improve the man, but it would deteriorate the cat." - Mark Twain

I work with children and took a couple of kids to our local pet store to look at the animals. They had a crate of kittens and I reached in to pull out an orange tabby for the kids to pet. A tiny little ball of gray fluff reached out her paw and swatted at my hand and started meowing. She wouldn't stop until I picked her up and held her close. I couldn't stand it and called my husband to tell him I was head over heels in love with her.

PARIS — Vincenzo Nibali put his lungs and legs to work one last time, marching up to the winner's podium of the Tour de France and sighing deeply before the Italian anthem echoed over the Champs-Elysees.
Chants of "Vin-cen-zo!" rang across the famed avenue for the Sicilian, 29, who dominated the race nearly from the start three weeks ago and Sunday became the first Italian to win cycling's greatest race since Marco Pantani in 1998.
Marcel Kittel of Germany won Stage 21 in a sprint, his fourth victory this year. Nibali cruised in 24 seconds later, easily retaining a lead of more than seven minutes on his closest rival. He received pats on the back, kissed his wife and infant daughter, and was mobbed by cameras.
"Now that I find myself on the highest step on the Champs-Elysees podium, it's more beautiful than I ever imagined," Nibali, the Arc de Triomphe behind him, told the crowd. "I've never been this moved in all my life."
As he stepped down from the podium, Nibali hurled the winner's bouquet into the crowd.
Nibali, who calls himself "a flag-bearer of anti-doping," said his success came through pinpoint focus on this race as the season began and opportunistic attacks in which he was able to nibble seconds on his rivals. There were no eye-popping performances, as was the case when doping was so prevalent.
The Astana team leader is the sixth rider to win all three Grand Tours: France, Italy and Spain.
Nibali won four stages, a feat not equaled by a Tour winner since Lance Armstrong won five a decade ago. The Italian wore the yellow jersey for all but two stages since Stage 1. His 7-minute, 37-second margin over French runnerup Jean-Christophe Peraud equals that of Armstrong over Swiss rider Alex Zulle in 1999, a result nullified because of doping.

*How to get fish to spawn, generally:*
1) Choose ゲーム スタート [Start Game].
2) Select the first option, New Tank.
3) Choose the second option to start a tank with preset equipment.
4) Now we go about setting up the tank step-by-step. For each option, a pop-up will ask if you want to go back (back arrow), skip to the next step (double arrow), or continue (forward arrow).
5) First, it asks what size tank. Choose 120cm. After hitting continue, the game will automatically choose the correct equipment and put it into the tank.
6) Next, it asks you to set-up your water. Click the AUTO button to the right. The 水質の選択 [Water Quality Selection] box pops up, and gives you four options. Choose the water type that fits the fish you're going to try to breed:
1. 淡 水 [Freshwater]
2. 海 水 [Sea Water]
3. 汽 水 [Brackish Water]
4. リセット [Reset]
7) The next screen asks what kind of items you wish to place in the tank. There are five categories of items: All, Corals and such, Plants (freshwater only), Bedding, and Background. These definitely have some effect on chance of spawning. I'll touch on this later. For now, put some plants and/or wood or coral, some bedding, and a background.
8) Finally, choose the fish you wish to put into the tank by selecting the species in the top-left box. A preview pops up on the right-hand side and right above the species list are some radial buttons you can use to filter the list as you see fit (Reading right-to-left: All, Freshwater, Salt Water, Brackish Water). After you've chosen your species, you can choose which fish from the bottom-left box to place in the tank. When starting from scratch, you begin with 10 males and 10 females of each species. Start by placing all 20 specimens for that species from top to bottom into the tank by using the two arrow buttons and hit continue.
9) Now that your tank is setup, the game is going ask you to save. Choose a slot and hit the white confirmation button on the bottom.
10) Next, the game's going to warn you that your fish are starving. Dismiss the text box but keep the list of the fish the game brings up open. If you closed it, this list can also be found at the top of the screen under the 知 [Information] button ("i" button) in the 個体 [Specimens] menu.
11) The game lists the 20 fish you placed in the tank. By clicking on one, you are brought to the 生体個体情報 [Fish Information] screen. On this screen you can find the fish's stats below the species information box and are represented by four bars. These vary in color from green (good) to yellow (okay) to red (bad) with a corresponding number from 0 (bad) to 100 (good).
12) To the left of the stats is the various information relating to the fish. The top three are:
1. Name [名前] (Click to rename)
2. Species [種類]
3. Gender [性別] (オス - Male, メス - Female)
13) Now, what we're going to do is go through all 20 fish, find the male and female with the best bottom two stats (as high as possible on both), and remove the others. To remove (or add) fish, use the 入 [Insert] menu button on the aquarium screen and choose the 生体 [Organism] option.
14) Now that you have your Adam fish and Eve fish, it's time to tweak some other options. To start, they're starving. Go into the 育 [Rearing] menu and choose the first option. This brings up the food setting.
15) First, to give your fish a bite now, click the second (freshwater, brackish water) or third (salt water) food option on the left. Then, click the AUTO button on the bottom. The game will ask which fish species you want to feed. Click the correct one and then place the food into the tank by click the down arrow button.
16) Next, we're going to setup the feeding schedule so the game will them on its own. To do this, click the small clock button next to the confirmation button. Now, click the same food option from before, click AUTO, and then confirm. This will feed them as needed automatically.
17) Next, click the second option in the 育 [Rearing] menu. This will bring up the screen for the chemicals used to keep the fish healthy. Starting with the first option (AZ GREEN), go down the list and hit the AUTO button to see if any is needed until you reach the final (AZ Marine Salt) choice (NOTE: don't add any of this unless you have salt water or brackish water fish). If the game brings up a number other than 0.0 in the box, click the water droplet button to add the recommended dosage to the water. Confirm when you're done.
18) Use the fourth option under the 育 [Rearing] menu to adjust the temperature for the tank. Click AUTO, choose the species, and confirm.
19) Use the sixth option under the 育 [Rearing] menu to set the light to turn off when needed. Simply click AUTO and confirm. This will set the light to turn off and back on at 12 hour intervals.
20) Now, if you'd like, you can save and check back in 2 months to see if you succeeded. I'd like to think you'd prefer a faster solution, so start by going into the 知 [Information] menu and choose the 水槽 [Aquarium] option. Here you can find information pertaining to the aquarium. We're only interested in the final box, シミュしーション速度の設定 [Auto-Simulation Speed]. This option sets the speed time passes inside the aquarium. Whatever number you enter that is how much the passage of time is multiplied. So, for instance, if you put in 30, one minute real-time becomes 30 in-game. Entering 100 will make one minute real-time equal 1 hour and 40 minutes in-game, and so on. Just enter the max (100) and confirm. This will make most fish spawn with 14 hours instead of 2 months.
21) Okay, here's the tricky part. It's been 14 hours/2 months but no fish have spawned. Now, I've translated all I could and there seems to be no sure way to make sure your tank is suitable for the particular species of fish. The only thing you can do is re-organize your decorations or try new ones. It really is throwing darts here.
22) And, when you finally manage to get them to spawn, SAVE. You don't get the achievement until you do. First menu, bottom option.
Now, the one species I just CAN'T get to spawn for any reason using these steps is the トランスルーセントグラスキャット [Glass Catfish]. So, otherwise, you should be able to get the other 32 achievements with only some issues and stumbling about.

Is it true, that you need to buy all DLC in order to 1K this game?

Yep. Each DLC is a fish species. Each fish species has its own achievement for hatching a spawn of that species. On top of that, 8 of them were never released, so the game's full 1000g is unobtainable. On top of THAT, the 18 DLC fish that ARE available totals about $63.41 USD or 5145 MSP. >_<

According to Sisson, prolonged high heart rate are bad for the body, and he makes the statement that humans didn't evolve to run long distances
Dear Mark: Chronic Cardio | Mark's Daily AppleChris McDougall seems to be asserting the complete opposite point in his book, and the video below. The truth does seem to lean towards Chris. If we weren't meant to run such long distances, why are we so much better at it than any other animal on the planet? I also think that it's pretty undeniable that humans used persistence hunting as their main form of survival for years.The fact is, our hunter-gatherer ancestors didnt ramp up their heart rates significantly for over an hour every day, and I dont think we should either. They walked at a very low level of exertion, burning almost entirely stored fats.
So, which is right?

In January 2010, Wal-Mart corporate officials pulled Ritchey's Dairy milk from the shelves at its stores on Plank Road and in Huntingdon.
Local farm bureau members weren't happy with that decision.
"The farm bureau picked up on that. The Blair County Farm Bureau said that isn't right and Wal-Mart put it back in," said President Gary Long. "The farm bureau has a lot of pull in the political end of things."
"Due to the efforts of the farm bureau, local FFA groups, and community complaints in general, our milk was restored to the store shelves at Wal-Mart," Ritchey's General Manager Andrew Ritchey said. "We thank the farm bureau for helping support our local farmers and Ritchey's Dairy."
The Wal-Mart-Ritchey's Dairy issue is just one example of the power of the farm bureau.
The Pennsylvania Farm Bureau is a grassroots organization run by farmers, state spokesman Mark O'Neill said. The role of the bureau, which has 53,000 members, is to look out for the interests of Pennsylvania's farmers.
"We try to meet the needs and expectations of farmers. We want them to be viable and able to stay in business," O'Neill said.
There are 54 county farm bureaus in Pennsylvania, some include more than one county. Each elects its own officers.
The county farm bureaus can help local farmers.
"If you have a problem with a township ordinance or a complaint with a neighboring farmer, the county farm bureau is the place where the farmer can start," Long said. "The county farm bureau can try to change things and make them better."
The county farm bureaus bring policy issues to the state level at the annual meeting in Hershey, this year set for Nov. 14-16.
"County farm bureaus have their annual meetings in September and October and they put together policy ideas at their level. The policies then go to the annual meeting," O'Neill explained. "They have delegates to represent the farmers across the state, and issues are voted on. They can also get rid of old policies."
The Blair County Farm Bureau has about 500 members but not all are active, while the Cambria County Farm Bureau has more than 500 members.
"One of the main things we try to do is keep our membership as high as we can to influence elected legislators," Cambria President Tom Smithmyer said. "The more members we have the better we can influence legislators."
"We are a lobbyist group that stands up for the rights of the farmers and keep the politicians in line," Long said.
Farm bureau membership provides members with many benefits.
"We have through the Pennsylvania Farm Bureau discounts and benefits within divisions of communication, financial and business services, health care, insurance, supplies and utilities, transportation, travel services and security services," O'Neill said. "We have an insurance program at the farm bureau, most farmers are self-insured. By coming together as a group, they can save money. We also have a Safe Mark program, which sells tires and other ag products."
The farm bureau also tries to work with potential young farmers.
"At the state and county levels, we have a Young Farmer and Rancher Committee. We try to keep the youth interested in farming," O'Neill said. "We provide them with information about loans and grants that are available."

Firefighters continued their efforts to fight the blazing wildfire near Flagstaff, Ariz. on Monday as authorities urged hundreds of residents to flee their homes.
The fast-spreading wildfire ignited early Sunday and grew to in size to more than 7 square miles by evening, according to fire officials. Strong winds to feed the flames were expected to continue.
Nearly 3,000 acres of land have been burned, and more than a thousand homes have been evacuated.
"When something like this happens, it makes you thankful for the things you do have," said Arizona resident Jennifer Whitehair, who was having lunch in town when she learned her neighborhood was being evacuated. "The material things seem less important, although in one sense it's your life."
So far, no houses have been destroyed, and there have been no reported injuries. The cause of the fire is not yet known.
A Careless Camper
Sunday's blaze is the second serious fire to threaten the area in two days.
A California man was arrested on suspicion of setting the fire by leaving behind hot coals at a campfire in a wooded area located roughly two miles from downtown Flagstaff.
"As far as we understand, this was not a deliberate act. It was a careless act," city spokeswoman Kimberly Ott said.
Arizona, a state which has seen two wildfires burn more than 3,000 acres each in the last month, is considered a high risk area for such catastrophes.
"The Southwest had a wet winter and then the spring turned dry," said Rick Ochoa of the National Interagency Fire Center in Idaho. That combination has "increased the fire potential quite a bit in the Southwest," he said.
Residents likely won't experience relief until next month, when the state's monsoon season begins.

Brick is very economical, especially when it is locally available. Additionally, brick has a great potential in terms of thermal energy savings. Moreover, it is simply beautiful.
I actually dare to say that brick is the only very, very traditional material with a very, very promising future.
I never thought that brick could be so sexy.
When we talk about bricks, people think that we talk about tradition. But you can find many brick buildings with an innovative, modern approach and they give brick a new meaning and a new appearance. It all depends on how innovatively you use brick.

YOU do not necessarily have to destroy an ancient site to find out what's hidden underneath. To prove it, a 2000-year-old structure buried beneath a Roman fort has been discovered in the Jordanian desert, without anyone doing so much as lifting a shovel.
The 2nd-century Roman fort and its surrounding settlement at Humayma has been excavated before. But a team from the University at Buffalo in New York state carried out a new survey by probing up to 3 metres below the surface with radar, and electrical and magnetic sensors.
Under the neatly aligned Roman fort they found a deeper series of walls built at odd angles. These were probably built by the Nabatean kingdom which ruled parts of Jordan, Syria and Israel 2000 years ago, team member Heather Ambrose told a meeting of the Geological Society of America last week in Denver. The Romans conquered the Nabateans in 106 AD....

The U.S. senatorial debate Monday night between former Gov. Linda Lingle and Rep. Mazie Hirono was enlightening for two reasons:
Hirono has no platform, other than to keep mentioning that her opponent is a Republican! Lingle is conversant on a broad array of subjects and Hirono is not.
The debate on KHON reminded us of classroom encounters where one student had studied and the other one tried to bluff her way through. When asked to name a legislative accomplishment, Hirono could not.
Lingle used that opportunity to point out that despite an overwhelmingly Democratic Legislature, she was able to champion the Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative. Lingle also pointed out that, working with members of the opposing party, Hawaii closed a huge revenue gap after the crash of 2008 and balanced its budget.
When asked to cite some examples of working on a bipartisan basis in Washington, Hirono talked about supporting President Barack Obama's policies. The only problem with her answer is that Obama and Hirono are in the same party. When pressed, she talked about working with Alaska Republican Rep. Don Young, who supported her in her primary race against Ed Case.
Lingle quickly pointed out that Young is not supporting Hirono in the general election.
Hirono charged that, if elected, Lingle would toe the Republican Party line - and that the GOP doesn't reflect Hawaii values. Lingle responded that she has always been a moderate who worked across party lines. The Lingle campaign has also pointed out Hirono votes her party line 96 percent of the time.
Hirono also said Lingle is co-chairwoman of the Mitt Romney election campaign. In fact, Lingle is an honorary chairwoman of the Jewish Americans for Romney Coalition - not co-chairwoman of the Romney campaign.
But that was just one of a series of gaffes by Hirono. She spouted out figures about the causes of debt and taxing the rich that were so off base as to be laughable. She inaccurately called Lingle's plan to shore up Medicare "a voucher system" and it is not. In fact, it is just like a system Hirono participates in as a member of Congress.
In short, Monday night Hirono showed the state why she wanted to limit the number of debates against Lingle.

LSU has confirmed that All-American sophomore punter Brad Wing will not play for the Tigers against Clemson in the Dec. 31 Chick-fil-A Bowl at the Georgia Dome.
NOLA.com reported Thursday that Wing, a colorful left-footed kicker from Melbourne, Australia, would miss the game for undisclosed reasons.
Wing likely will be replaced by fellow Australian Jamie Keehn, a freshman from Queensland.
LSU Coach Les Miles could not be reached for comment.
No. 9 LSU is a 5-point favorite over No. 14 Clemson in the Chick-Fil-A Bowl.

Sun Life Stadium is only a little more than half full 45 minutes before kickoff of Super Bowl XLIV, but it's already obvious that the New Orleans Saints will possess a significant fan advantage, bot in numbers and in volume.
Walking through the upper-deck and club-level concourses, fans in black-and-gold outnumber those in the Indianapolis Colts' rotal-and-white by a ratio of about 5-to-1.
Inside the stadium, the predominance of Saints fans seems even more pronounced, with all levels of the stadium approaching "blackout" mode and "Lets go Colts!" cheers quickly drowned out by roaring "Who Dat" chants.
It's unlikely the crowd numbers will be large enough to disrupt Colts quarterback Peyton Manning's audible calls at the line. But there's little doubt at this point which team has the home field advantage: Saints.

"I can't do anything with a ball," laughs Maria Victoria Howell-Arza.
But that may be just about the only thing she can't do.
Maria, known as "Marivi" to her family and friends, is 15 years old and is accomplished well beyond her years. Marivi is a "Renaissance woman" whose achievements as a scholar, athlete, performing artist and entrepreneur are extraordinary for a high school sophomore. Recently, Marivi discussed her busy lifestyle. She is a bundle of energy and passionate about the many aspects of her packed schedule.
Marivi is a sophomore at Buffalo Seminary and feels at home there.
"I love Sem," she says. "It's a great place to be. I've attended many schools and Sem has been the best by far. There are a lot of free-spirited people there who accept you for who you are."
This year, Marivi has taken on an especially challenging workload – she is enrolled in all honors classes and takes two advanced placement courses. Perfecting her studies does not stop Marivi from doing the other things that she is passionate about, and she still manages to earn straight As.
Marivi spends a lot of her out-of-school time practicing her singing, which is what she loves most of all. She takes voice lessons from Sebnem Mekinulov through the Cadenza workshop at Buffalo State College. Singing is Marivi's greatest passion and she imagines herself making a career as a performer. She also enjoys acting, and is a recent graduate of the Barbizon Modeling and Acting School.
Marivi also has an athletic side. At school, she is on the varsity fencing team.
"Fencing is kind of my thing," she said. "It's a graceful, mental game, a physical chess. It came naturally."
Fencing gives a sense of balance to her life, she added.
With this kind of talent, it is no wonder that Marivi has been successful in the world of pageants since getting involved at age 11. She believes that "pageants give you that extra edge in life."
This year, she was chosen as Miss New York Junior Teen at the National American Miss pageant.
As she worked her way through the rigors of the pageant, Marivi won the talent portion of the competition by singing "Don't Rain on My Parade" and won the acting portion with a humorous bilingual routine in English and Spanish. She was the first runner-up in the spokesmodel portion of the competition for a speech titled "The Logic of Dreams," which began and ended with this quote by Henry Ford: "Whether you think you can, or think you can't, you are right."
She also was the first runner-up in the volunteer service category.
"I have done lots of community service over the years from helping at different organizations ... to taking time to help out around school, etc.," Marivi told NeXt in an email. "I use my title to find more opportunities to do more community service – with my block club where I am the sergeant at arms, the ENERGY Tutoring program at Westminster Presbyterian Church, and other organizations."
Participating in pageants has given Marivi a sense of self and poise as she grows up.
"Pageants have had a huge impact on me," she said. "They give you confidence, a drive, and are great for personal development."
She said she will utilize her new title by making a difference through community service.
As if all these accomplishments were not enough, Marivi distinguishes herself as an entrepreneur. She may well be one of the only teenagers ever to own a bed-and-breakfast.
"My family kind of stumbled into owning it," she said. "My Dad originally owned it, but suggested I take over to pay for things like voice lessons, pageants and SAT courses. Now we have someone here almost every day."
The B&B, which doesn't have a formal name, is located in the family's Buffalo home. "We have two guest bedrooms that ... we rent out," she said.
The website www.airbnb.com allows people to list rooms they have for rent.
Marivi's responsibilities include keeping track of bookings, handling customer service, making up and cleaning the rooms and preparing everything for guests' arrival.
"Owning my own B&B has taught me how to manage money and be responsible for more than just myself," she said. "We've had people stay here from all over the world. It's exciting to meet new people from different cultures."
So how does she do it all?
"I'm not sure myself," she said. "I just happen to find a way to make everything work. It is very stressful at times but it is all worth it."
It may be a little early to start thinking about her plans after high school, but Marivi said she "hopes to go to Yale to double major in premed and theater."
Everything she does, whether it is participating in pageants, fencing, studying, singing or even managing her B&B, she does it with full devotion. Stay tuned – there may be more to come.
Emily Sugarman is a senior at Amherst High School.

An 18-year-old North Bergen man was charged Wednesday night with pulling out a BB gun during an argument with another man, township police said.
David Baiza has been charged with aggravated assault, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose and unlawful possession of a weapon and has had his bail set at $50,000, with no 10 percent option.
At around 6:15 p.m. Wednesday, officers responded to a call from a man who said he had had a confrontation with two men, and that one of them — later identified as Baiza — had a black handgun, officers said.
The man told police the altercation began when he was parking his car and Baiza, who was with a friend, walked into it, which provoked an argument, officers said.
When the argument escalated, Baiza alleged took out what the victim thought was a real gun from his pocket, officers said, before walking away with it in his hand.
Officers identified Baiza and his friend - a juvenile - in the area of the incident and confronted them, officers said, at which point Baiza told them he had a BB gun in his coat pocket.
Officers then recovered Baiza's gun, which was a "CO2 cartridge type gun," and arrested him, while taking his juvenile friend to police headquarters for further questioning, police said.
Baiza is being held in the Hudson County jail in Kearny, while his friend was released to a legal guardian, officers said.

A SYNDROME of encephalopathy and fatty liver has been the subject of recent reports in the pediatric literature.1-3 This encephalitis-like illness has rather characteristic clinical and pathological findings which are not new and were descrbed by Brain et al in 1929.4 Whether or not the combination of acute encephalopathy and fatty change in the liver is specific and deserves consideration as an entity is open to question. Using an illustrative case from our own material, we should like to review the clinical, laboratory, and anatomic features of similar cases available in the literature.

Brooks returns to practice, set to play in Super Bowl XLVII
Harbaugh: This team is never 'satisfied'
Ahmad Brooks deflected two critical passes in the NFC Championship and injured Matt Ryan's non-throwing shoulder. (USA TODAY IMAGES)
SANTA CLARA -- Outside linebacker Ahmad Brooks returned to limited practice on Friday after sustaining a left shoulder injury early in the 49ers' NFC Championship Game.
Brooks has also been bothered by a finger that he dislocated in training camp, a team source said. But there is no question he will be in the starting lineup when the 49ers face the Baltimore Ravens in Super Bowl XLVII on Feb. 3 in New Orleans, 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh said on Friday.
Brooks played 63 of the 49ers' 67 defensive snaps in the 49ers' 28-24 victory over the Atlanta Falcons and came through with three huge fourth-quarter plays.
"Vic Fangio made the comment the other day that smartest thing we did as an organization was pay Ahmad Brooks and keep him as a 49er," coach Jim Harbaugh said. "And we would all concur with that."
The 49ers signed Brooks to a six-year, $42 million contract last February to prevent him from becoming an unrestricted free agent. Brooks responded with 6.5 sacks and six passes defensed.
He batted down two crucial passes from Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan in the fourth quarter and delivered a hit that separated his left (non-throwing) shoulder late in the game.
"He's done it with very little fanfare, in terms of how he talks about himself," Harbaugh said. "But he's been a tireless worker. Go back to the first days of the offseason program. (I) don't know if he ever missed a day. And been a great contributor, great leader. And really fine performer on the field."

The purpose of the annual review is to determine whether the existing regulations continue to fulfill the mission of conserving the state's forest, fish and wildlife resources without unnecessarily regimenting or inconveniencing the public. When specific needs are identified, rule changes are recommended to the Missouri Conservation Commission for approval.
Rule changes that appear in the 2001 Wildlife Code, which is now available, become effective March 1, 2001 and are highlighted in this summary. Hunters, anglers and trappers are responsible for understanding the regulations before venturing afield.
Fishing Regulations Have Changed - on a number of small public lakes managed by the Department of Conservation. Always check the bulletin boards and signs in the parking lots of areas you are fishing to make sure you know the current regulations.
The Missouri Department of Conservation and the Illinois Department of Natural Resources have negotiated expanded reciprocal fishing privileges on their shared portion of the Mississippi River. In addition to being able to fish in the flowing portion of the Mississippi in either state, properly licensed or exempted anglers from Missouri may now fish either state's adjacent backwaters and shared oxbow lakes, and they may now fish from the bank or attach to the bank of either state.
Anglers must still abide by the regulations of the state in which they are fishing regardless of where they are licensed. They must also abide by the most restrictive of the two states' regulations when fishing the other state's waters. To make it easier for anglers to know and follow the regulations on the Mississippi River, the Missouri Department of Conservation and Illinois Department of Natural Resources have made a number of regulation changes that will bring uniformity to most of the sport fishing regulations. Missouri's new regulations on the Mississippi River are:
Black Bass: - A 12-inch minimum length limit on black bass on the entire Mississippi River, including Pools 20-26.
Channel Catfish and Blue Catfish: - The daily and possession limit on the Mississippi River is 20 in the aggregate.
Flathead Catfish: - The daily and possession limit on the Mississippi River is 10 fish.
Paddlefish: - The open season on the Mississippi River is March 15 through May 15, and September 15 through December 15.
White Bass, Yellow Bass, Striped Bass and Their Hybrids: - No minimum length limit on the Mississippi River. The daily and possession limit is 30 in the aggregate.
Other Fish (nongame fish): - The daily and possession limit on the Mississippi River is 100 in the aggregate. Snagging, snaring and grabbing are allowed from March 15 through May 15, and September 15 through December 15.
Not more than two unlabeled poles - and not more than fifty (50) hooks in the aggregate may be used by any person at one time on the Mississippi River.
In fact, grandad's walking stick, the one that magically sprouted into a tree, was probably cut from a willow branch.
Season Dates - The Department clarified season dates on bullfrogs, green frogs, quail, ruffed grouse, rabbits, squirrels, crows, pheasants and furbearers.
Wild Ginseng Harvest - New regulations specify parameters for the legal harvest of wild ginseng (Panax quinquefolium).

In a fish tank, it's great. In fact, it's the best sub I've ever owned. If you don't have a fish tank, you probably don't want this sub. If you put it in a pool, you'll lose sight of it. Especially considering the IR control's limited ability in daylight. A three inch sub in a 16' diameter, 4' deep pool, in the dark? I think it would be just as much fun without a sub.
mine arrived yesterday from amazon.com. proudly displayed on the box is "toys-r-us exclusive". It is considerably smaller than the ocean explorer toy, or the older hobby/graupner mr. lobster that i have. I need to go find some AA batteries to get this thing tested.
added photo of the three mini subs i own side by side, i think the air hogs is the nicest of the bunch. it has a "real" ballast tank. allowing it to maintain a specific depth, while the others dont. Mr. lobster has a vertical thruster to push it down, but as soon as you stop the motor, it starts to rise, and the ocean explorer only has two motors, so it will only push itself down when moving forward. I do think the air hog was also the cheapest. can't really tell from the photo, but you could fit at least two of the air hog into the ocean explorer, and probably 1.5 air hogs into the lobster
i got one today as well, local TRU had it, and i need one to be sure i make mine smaller
i took a rather long video in the tub, it turned out darker than i wanted, but it looks like its in the deep ocean, so seems fitting
i will get it uploaded to youtube and post it here later. its like 15 minutes long after editing!
dont worry tchalfant, i am sure i will peek inside at some point
I love the look of the murky deep in your video. I want to make a better video of mine, but I'm still revamping my aquarium. (A new sub needs a new home, right?) I thought about actually putting some fish in there, but I decided against it. I'm afraid fish poo could clog that tiny steering thruster. The thruster's opening is only about 1mm x 3mm.
I got this brilliant idea to buy some real slate floor tiles, break them up, and epoxy them together to make a "bridge" of sorts for the sub to go under. Well, who would have though a 1/4" slate tile would be so strong. Wailing away with a hammer and chisel just chips it.
I'm still waiting to see the innards of one of these. I would open one of mine, but I could never reassemble it.
give me $43, and i'd be happy to show you the guts of mine
Hey guys, I've got a question...
Any trouble controlling it through the glass of the aquarium??? I'm interested in one, but was wondering if the IR gets messed up if you're trying to control it from the front of the aquarium, instead of from above??
I'm heading to TRU tomorrow to see if they have any, and if they do I may just grab a 10 gallon aquarium to start at Walmart because they're only like $11.
I REALLY wanted to buy a Thunder Tiger Neptune, but was scared off by the price and the fact that I'm not sure how much use I'd get out of it...however, a tiny sub indoors in an aquarium would be ideal for me, and if I like it, then I'll get that Neptune this summer!!
The IR signal goes through the glass with no trouble. I have a fluorescent light in my aquarium. When the light is on, I lose signal in the back corners. Other than that, I never lose signal in my 35 gallon aquarium. I might try a UV grow light to see if that eliminates the IR "interference" in the corners.
While this sub can probably be operated in a fishbowl, I think it would get a little boring if I couldn't cruise around a little. If you're spending the money for the sub, you might want to spend a little more for a larger tank. I found my aquarium at the local flea market for $10, including the hood. Maybe check Craig's List.
My wife bought me the orange and white one today as a gift for me finally remodeling our master bedroom.
Now I just need to get an aquarium setup to run it in. I don't want any fish, don't have time for them these days, but I think I'll set it up with some decorations and such to make it seem like Atlantis. They have an entire set of decorations at the local pet store that would work for that perfectly!!!
I'll probably look into a 20 long, or possibly a 29 gallon, aquarium to run it in.
No Disassemble Number 5!
When I saw this thread, I just had to get one. Yup, at Toys 'R Us.
Unfortunately mine was faulty out of the box. Main drive motor barely ran at first then went totally dead. Since I bought it to see if I could use the guts in another project, no great loss.
So without further delay I present to you the just innards! (not for those under 18)
ImagesView all Images in thread
wow, it really is a little tiny WTC!
i think i could maybe stuff a 30mah cell in there for a full 45 minute run time
i wonder if the led voltage is right to use a different color like white? any chance you could read how many volts its getting?

The summary below is from the full report titled " Ardeparin Sodium for Extended Out-of-Hospital Prophylaxis against Venous Thromboembolism after Total Hip or Knee Replacement. A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial." It is in the 6 June 2000 issue of Annals of Internal Medicine (volume 132, pages 853-861). The authors are J.A. Heit, C.G. Elliott, A.A. Trowbridge, B.F. Morrey, M. Gent, and J. Hirsh, for the Ardeparin Arthroplasty Study Group.
Blood clots can form in the deep veins of the leg, a condition called "deep venous thrombosis," as a complication of hip or knee replacement surgery. These clots can break off and travel through the bloodstream to the lungs, shutting off some of the lung's circulation, a condition called "pulmonary embolism." Giving patients blood thinners in the hospital after joint replacement surgery can prevent deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. However, it remains unknown how long the blood thinners should be continued. Commonly used blood thinners are standard heparin (usually given through an intravenous line), warfarin (given by mouth), or low-molecular-weight heparin (a new form of the drug given by injection under the skin). Low-molecular-weight heparin is more convenient than regular heparin because it can be given once daily and, unlike heparin and warfarin, does not require frequent blood tests to adjust the dose.
To find out whether giving joint replacement patients low-molecular-weight heparin for 6 weeks after they go home from the hospital prevents blood clots.
1195 adults who had total hip or knee replacement surgery and who had completed 4 to 10 days of low-molecular-weight heparin before leaving the hospital.
Just before patients left the hospital, the researchers randomly assigned them to receive a daily injection of ardeparin sodium (a particular type of low-molecular-weight heparin) or placebo (a substance that looked like the ardeparin but contained no active ingredients). The study patients continued the injections for 6 weeks after they went home. The researchers then followed patients for 12 weeks to see who developed symptoms of thromboembolism or died. Patients who had symptoms of thromboembolism underwent tests to confirm the diagnosis.
Of the 607 patients who got ardeparin, 9 (1.5%) suffered thromboembolism or died compared with 12 of the 588 patients who got placebo (2.0%). Statistical analysis showed that these rates were not significantly different than what one might expect from chance alone.
The researchers combined the findings in patients who had knee and hip replacement surgery, so they may have missed a benefit that applied to only one type of surgery. In addition, the study was not large enough to completely rule out a small benefit from ardeparin therapy.
Without treatment with blood thinner after leaving the hospital, about 2 of every 100 patients will experience thromboembolism or die following joint replacement surgery. Continuing ardeparin for 6 weeks after hospitalization is unlikely to substantially reduce the occurrence of this complication.

How to Roast the Perfect Brussel Sprouts
By Christopher Stewart | May 5, 2013
Working in a restaurant kitchen, the food comes out perfect all the time. Whether it was roasted or sautéed to a lovely golden brown, it seemed like nothing could go wrong. Cooking at home is weirdly and totally a different story. Cooking in my home kitchen never seems to compare to cooking in a restaurant kitchen. My food does everything but what it's supposed to do at home, and I hate it. Simple things like preparing vegetables, such as brussel sprouts, get different results in different kitchens. Do you roast them? Sauté them? Or blanch them and then roast them? We have the best tips for you to get restaurant-perfect brussel sprouts in your home.
The Perfect Brussel Spouts:
1. Start with fresh brussel sprouts. Whether on their original stalk or off the stalk, make sure the brussels are packed tightly and bright green.
2. Discard any bad or any leaves that are yellow or brown in color
3. Brussel sprouts vary in size, so cut in half or quarters for even cooking.
4. Trim the bottom stems, about 1/8th of an inch.
Sautéing is a great way to achieve that deep golden sear that you want when you think of brussel sprouts. Sautéing also caramelizes the brussel sprouts while cooking and provides a great sweetness and nutty flavor. Here are a few tips:
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. You want a pan large enough so that the brussels can lay flat and cook evenly in a single layer.
- Heat oil in skillet. Using a oil with a high cooking temperature like canola, is best.
- Allow brussels to cook cut side down for a few minutes (5 minutes or so). This will help with caramelization. Shake pan to quickly cook other side, but don't pierce them with a fork or knife (this will allow steam to come in and make your brussel sprouts mushy).
- Roasting is best in high heat. Having your oven at 400 degrees is ideal to achieve that golden brown color.
- Toss to coat raw trimmed brussel sprouts in oil, and season with salt and pepper. Remember, toss in a high heat friendly oil.
- Place your seasoned brussel sprouts in a roasting pan in a single layer. Over crowding the pan will result in steam and your veggies won't roast properly and become mushy.
